But it is rarely what they first state is the price.
ALso, Liverpool will have bid what they believe is a chance of being accepted after encouragement from Issaks’ agent who will be talking to Newcastle to find out what they would accept

Not necessarily. You hope to end up paying the minimum the seller is prepared to accept.

And that also depends on the motivation of the seller, why they are selling and the market conditions.
Isn’t that still paying what the seller wants.
Thats been working well so far.
No.

They way we have handled the second half of the window it makes it a sellers market.

How. It may be different from the first offer but it will still ultimately be what the seller agrees too hence what they want.
Sky just said newcastle need to sign 2 forwards for this to happen.
Wissa is Wilsons replacement…so they would need Isaks replacement in first
3 weeks…can we can say this wont happen unless Newcastle perform a miracle and actually sign soneone?

Definitely seems so in regards to attacking options, but my concern with Isak is his injury record and thats why I wouldn’t pay full asking price.

If the plan is to just get Isak and that’s it, that might actually be a better idea. Hopefully it’s not.
But we were happy to sell Diaz and Nunez with no replacements its mind boggling. But to be fair Skys days of knowing anything have long gone.
Well it was Isak
Its extremely naive selling those first.
I defer to your years of experience managing football clubs.

Its not leaving yourself short of key personal. You could understand one but not both when you have to deal with the unforseen Jota situation.

Didn’t the story come out after signing Henderson that Sunderland quoted £16m expecting us to negotiate, and they’d have been happy to take £8m?
Apparently so.
So you see we don’t just pay the quoted price then?
