The big difference between our pursuit of Isak, and Newcastle’s attempts to sign Wissa, is that we’re not trying to mug them off with a bid about half his value.
Touche
I’m assuming that we’re going to work out something for Guehi irrespective of what happens with Isak.
But, for the sake of argument, if you had the choice of Isak for 120M or Rodrygo + Guehi for around the same fee, what would you do?
Rodrygo and Guehi.
The latter as we need a CB.
Basically do Isak for 120m or Rodrygo for 50m.
Fair enough considering he’s not your type.
Claims that Isak won’t be allowed to leave until they’ve signed two strikers. So never, based on their transfer business so far
“Why Newcastle have reservations about Sesko”
I havent read the piece, but is the answer “because he’s shit”?
That’s interesting. I have to imagine the potential damages for Isak or Liverpool (if inducement is proven) would be far less than the potential transfer fee.
I don’t think clubs want to walk through that door, though, as what goes around…
Ill put my hand up here…not sure this is all worth it
massive amount of money
pissing off a nation state with rather large pockets
players striking/taking leave of absense
getting late into pre season - we need to work on things as a team, cant rip it up on the eave of the charity sheild
we’ve already got Ekitike for a massive wedge
still have to spend on (possibly even 2) a centre back
the type of signing seems a bit off brand (paying premium to a rival at the peak of his career)
injury record
no need to go over the positives in retort, i realise hes a great footballer…just…yknow…
Isak is a smoke screen to sign Jack Grealish
What if he cancelled his contract for Newcastle and retired. And we then took a lad on trial who admittedly looked the same but was clearly a different person because he wore glasses and was called Alex Isakson?
I love when these fake ITKs put out tweets saying “Isak news incoming! Turn on notifications!” as if the news is coming to them via a carrier pigeon and they’re just waiting for it to arrive to share it.
groucho marx glasses and mustache?
Big news check back at 9.47pm.
Indykalia loves that, I assume it’s his break on his shift at KFC.
