I want to go back to the world where people like this were just bellends in the pub getting laughed at by their mates for ridiculous takes. Instead we now live in a world where these people literally get paid to talk utter shite like this and a sizeable portion of the population take their word as gospel.
Every player has his price. Look at Phil - someone offers you £140m you have to take it and use it wisely (unlike the Suarez money when a ton of shit was bought). We sold our best player and become much better by signing 2 world class players in VVD and Ali.
IMHO, Newcastle wanted to trick LFC into a supposed gentlemen’s agreement where we let them have a free run at Ekitike and we get Isak.
What Newcastle never expected was Hughes and Edwards putting the leg work in by approaching both Isak and Ekitike agents who relayed the message to both players. Both players got sold by Slot’s idea. It’s a matter of who wants it more, at club level.
Evidently, Newcastle wants to try convince Isak to stay but has no idea that Isak’s head has been turned massively. Next season where they hit the final 2 year mark without a league title or a UCL title lol, I don’t think they can get 120m gbp in any universe where all the big boys are largely stocked at CF…
