Whatever happens, it's good. Because the sheer fact that Liverpool feel the need to target us means they are genuinely threatened and doing all they can to disrupt us. They know what is coming. Once these illegal anti-competition financial regs are torn up, or clubs keep finding more loopholes, then the Saudi money will come in to plah. Then the dirty 6 will probably run off crying to set up a super league.
I think all that talk is horseshit. Truth is Liverpool were always interested in both players, tried for one and then the next. This power play crap is media nonsense and designed to belittle Newcastle whatever happens. The real truth is Liverpool ain't getting their number one target and Newcastle have 75 million to spend..
It's true though isn't it.... If it was the other way around the headlines would be Newcastle forced to move on to inferior target after failed attempt to land their man. Or Failure sees Newcastle left licking their wounds
I'm pretty sure Newcastle have encouraged Liverpool towards Ekitike rather than Liverpool being cunning. I said this at the time, but they basically said go and buy Ekitike when they loudly leaked the Ekitike bid. Newcastle said **** off and buy Ekitike or we will.... They won't report that narrative though. One way to end the Isak ****e
