Where is the line drawn though? What about if we accept money from a club that has sold someone to a Sand-entity? That is effectively oil stained too. Similarly what if they are involved in sponsorship etc.

I’ve said it before.

The day that Liverpool gets taken over by a Arab nation(or any attempt at that from whatever country, Arab , Israeli etc etc) I’m not following football.

I’ll stick by it. I’ll be divesting myself from football as such.

I’ve seen a few rumours on social media that Liverpool and Newcastle have agreed £120+15m for Isak, but it is being kept under wraps so Newcastle can get their players in first.

Personally I don’t understand this logic of clubs wanting to do their business first because they are worried about getting fleeced. As if everyone doesn’t know that Newcastle are about to get a massive wedge for Isak.

I’m not even sure it’s a case of being fleeced either, the price for players in this market is already higher than it was in past years and Isak is a good example of that - he wasn’t being touted as a £120m-£150m player a year ago.

If they can’t find two good forwards for that money, then their issues extend beyond the financial limitations that PSR has them under.

Theres so much shit floating about who knows what true.
Looks like Sesko has chosen United as well.

Maybe the concern is getting a player at all? They might just panic and buy Andy Carroll?

We can offer him the improved Uruguyan version. I’m sure we’d even throw in Harvey and call it even for Isak.

Think Andy already signed for someone this window, so they’ve missed the boat on that one :rofl:
