I don’t think we’re going to be surprised or made to change course in our planning from one performance from a guy we’ve been watching already for years. It might make some fans sit a bit easier with the situation, but wont change anything that Hughes was already pursuing.

Stupid game playing by Newcastle. If they didn’t want to engage, they should have made that clear straight away.

If I understand correctly, the situation changed because the owner suddenly intervened and vetoed the sale. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

They did want to engage, at 150mp.Had we offered what they say he is worth then he’d be a Liverpool player already. We felt he was worth offering 110mp and the toon said no way. We await the opportunity to negotiate while they wait on someone willing to pay full whack.
Its only ever been hearsay that.

So when you buy a house, do you just pay what the sellers are asking for, or do you consider the asking price, your potential plans for what you want to do with the property then offer what you think is a fair price?

Nah, every negotiation is a give and take. We start at 110, they start at 150, we meet closer to 130 + add ons.

I mean, I laughed my arse off when those delusional Yanited fuckwads annointed Kobbie as England’s best midfielder after a handful of games, but there is no doubt whatsoever that Hugo will be the best young striker in the PL by Bonfire Night.

You still end up paying what the seller wants.

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.
