In his position I think he should have influence on who we try to sign. He has to work with them and try to achieve something. Sesko of course having vast PL experience. The last two years we haven’t really had the money to buy and he didn’t seem to have full control of transfers like Anderson, Minteh or Vlachodimos. Not a lot he can do about Isak when he’s away in South Korea and quite rightly is concentrating on the players he’s got. Isak can wait till he gets back. What’s difficult to understand is how he’s got too much influence yet doesn’t know what’s going on. It doesn’t make sense. The obsession with blaming Howe for everything is illogical.
The last bit is the most telling. On one hand fans blaming Howe for being too powerful and then another blaming Howe for not being involved at all. For a manager at Newcastle there is no winning for some fans, they would rather the club just not have a manager.
Apparently we're considering upping our Sesko bid in an attempt to price Man Utd out of a move. The suggestion is that we want to leave player with the choice of move to us or stay at Leipzig.
Hate to tell you this mate but if we really want him we will pay what we have to. If we have other options we will just move on and leave you with a massive transfer price you didn't want to pay.
let’s have a quick re-look at that … 1) Hate to tell you this mate but if we really want him we will pay what we have to.” Did you hear this thing about players getting to actually choose who they’re sold to? That might be what Sesko’s doing…. thinking whether your lot are worth it… If he has some wisdom along with the ambition he may well be thinking … “Manchester finished very low in the Premier League last season, and it lost a cup final to an even lower placed Spurs. Manchester had a terrible season and have flounced from one manager to another these last few years. Time and again players have been bought and struggled there, and that squad has half a dozen outcasts that aren’t even allowed to train with their first team mates. There’s no Champions League, there’s no UEFA Conference League, there’s no Europa League at Manchester. Their stadium plans have hit a wall, and they have this business pariah that seems to want to make every non-player redundant. The fans of Manchester seem to hate their owners.” 2) If we have other options we will just move on and leave you with a massive transfer price you didn't want to pay. I think that translates as “if he rejects us - and chooses you - we’ll pretend we didn’t want him and somehow think we have the last laugh” Other than that you’re quite right, we don’t fancy unnecessarily high prices - outrageous fees and dumb weekly wages that make it pretty much impossible to shift a player (or 5) … that would be the actions of an absolute twat of a club wouldn’t it. Still, you keep telling yourself it’s 2013 and giving it the Big I Am… it makes the game more enjoyable
Good Morning all, Pleased to see the rain this fine Monday! There's no private jet activity other than one inbound flight from Milan late this Afternoon. Odds drifting on Sesko to Newcastle.
It ain't raining down here, golf boy. Rumours of Goncalo Ramos if we don't get Sesko, would be fine with either, though Sesko is the obvious favourite due to being a source of endless tedious Star Trek puns.
Tbf Sesko's will probably still choose Man United despite all that, so we are only increasing the depressing realisation that could soon be bestowed upon us by factoring all that in.
How are you guys feeling about the Isak **** that’s going on I don’t like any of it myself He is a good player but not one I overly covet and think he should be honouring the contract he has signed I don’t like how our guys are playing it if stuff that I read is to be believed but equally we have been on the receiving end on a lot of occasions we were a laughing stock last summer because we couldn’t land targets (maybe an omen for you guys as it was the same low life’s in the press giving your boys grief) and we have traditionally always lost out on players to Utd City Chelsea Madrid Barca Munich - endless list really thought I would pop in here and ask genuinely as we had a visit on our board - he seemed very angry at us - when we don’t really make any of the decisions think it’s just a **** show really - but was curious on your guys take. Will go back a few pages too
He's a prick. Bearing in mind he scored 3 goals from open play in the second half of the season you'd think he'd leave his ego at the door. Not as good as he thinks he is.
Personally think Isak is being badly advised by his agent, whilst he has a choice in what he does the agent is clearly pushing this as he is after a massive payday. Don't forget the media like to portray it to be 10 times worse than it is. Very highly unlikely but if he does stay a stint in the reserves and an apology would help build those bridges. Don't agree with the banner and I'd rather wait until the window closes before throwing insults etc.
