If we sell Isak and get Sesko and Wissa everything's good. If we end up with Dominic Calvert-Lewin things have gone very backwards. We'll see.
I put a post on the Newcastle board saying to pick which one they want by the end of the week, they should have listened.
Well if we want Sesko we'll get him, so that's not being nice. I'd rather we went all in for Watkins personally, we need a proven premier league forward to hit the ground. Not a young prospect from another league. Got one of those in Hojlund.
Yeah, I think Watkins is the better player. Villa haven’t spent a penny yet, so I’m guessing any big offers for their players would be hard for them to turn down. There’s been rumours for a while about them close to breaching PSR. Hojlund could do with a loan to a league like the Eredivise where he’d likely bang them in and you’d recoup more of the fee that you paid for him that way.
Nufc.com literally foretold this - when Liverpool's Ekitike bid came in to rival ours, they said something like "we'll probably see one of Ekitike or Isak playing for Liverpool when we play them in August, and whether the other one is in a Newcastle shirt is another matter". They are good.
The Newcastle board seems very excited that they've rejected our first offer. It's like they've never seen a transfer before. Someone needs to pop over and point out that it's an initial bid and the rumours that we won't bid again are clearly us playing hardball and pointing out that they shouldn't take the piss as you've got a player that wants to leave and £100M on the table, best think hard about our next bid because we have a history of walking away.
