60 hours is a load of time.
Whats the fascination with knowing about bids. Clubs talk in the back ground plenty of deals have happened in recent years and the first you hear in the media is a fee is agreed.

The first reports are now coming in. However, our reliable sources (Ornstein) are only saying that the deal is becoming increasingly likely.

I think this is the misconception Newcastle fans can’t get their heads around. They aren’t the richest club at all.
The people that own them have an ungodly amount of wealth but the club itself is about 15th richest in terms of revenue generated and that includes some dodgy deals like that Saudi shirt sponsor.
They just want to bypass the hard work to build up the club, revenue and quality of the squad using money that has nothing to do with the club.
I also cannot understand how they aren’t hoovering up any and all good young kids up in the North East. Plenty of talent come from that region and they’re competing with Sunderland and Boro and that’s about it. Should have a academy producing talent year after year.

ESPN are saying it’s done?

They have signed some good young players the last few years, avoiding all this faux anger over Isak could have helped them continue to strengthen their financial and footballing position. It still might work out that way but all this drama wasnt needed.

Probably true, but club sources are apparently still holding back and won’t announce anything until after the Newcastle game. They probably don’t want to cause any unrest beforehand, and that was pretty much to be expected.
Edit
Nevertheless, there are also some not so optimistic sources. I think internally they’re really trying not to let anything leak out.

Newcastle wanting to keep the focus on the game would make sense if this has been done.

Luckily Jacob’s knows as much as my dog and he’s been dead for 30 years.
They have to sell him now. They would run the risk of not being compliant with PSR and all he will do is sit half a season out.

It sounds like they already have information from the clubs, but have agreed not to reveal anything. The reports that the deal is done may have been spread by Isak Camp.

Well we aren’t going leak anything…We are like a sturdy vessel that sails for over 50 years compared to Newcastle or Man Utd that are effectively the titanic or some boat shot through with holes in the war.

Wonder which of Wissa or Strand-Larsson will be hung out to dry by this disrespectful Newcastle behaviour. Not to mention the two clubs not fielding their main striker this weekend.

Quite plus the ties don’t really effect them.

Strand-Larsson is just like the player they just signed. Tall lanky dude

Another more negativ source, This is basically the opposite of Ornstein’s statement.
