Alexander Isak (CF) Newcastle

Got it wrong by 4 days. Oh well.

I think Newcastle will want to win a PR war, so it will be 150 with add ons, but a lot of those add ons will have zero chance of being met.

so sky saying the bid was £110m.
he thinks £120m with add ons and Toon may accept

Really is a mad summer to be a Liverpool fan.

Enjoy it whilst it lasts as I doubt we see another one like this again.

£130m upfront

5 more for league titles,
5 more Champions League finals,
5 more for 2 Golden Boots in 5 years
5 more for 100 goals in 5 years.

Not a totally unreliable.

We had to go low-ish with cash as I wouldn’t be surprised if further proposals include player(s) as an alternative to further cash.

At least things are moving.

And now you’re gonna believe us
We’re gonna win the transfer window!

But seriously (Lampard transition), Isak + CB + hopefully a Diaz replacement would probably make it one of the best windows ever, maybe only 2009 Real Madrid would beat it.

So, Newcastle are making this contingent on finding a replacement, huh. Does anyone know any forwards who might be available?

They won’t take him, but the irony is that the Geordies would absolutely fucking love Nunez.

I think there is a high likelihood of a Dean Saunders like validation of Nunez if he leaves and finds the right place so I’m kind of apprehensive about that being the price to pay to land Isak, but am ultimately resigned to Nunez needing to move on somewhere even if he fucks us a couple of times a season as a result.

Nah, he was waiting for August 1st so he could get Isak pictured in the Adidas kit. Plenty of August 1st left in the UK so still time for it to happen today.

Could a move to Villa be on the cards if Watkins goes to Newcastle?

Good thing the Isak move is being kept under wraps so Villa dont know how desperate and cash fueled Newcastle are in their search
