Close…… Boehly is just the chair. Clearlake capital are funded by PIF as one of their major investors.
This is all bollixs really. Do you really think that Eintract, NUFC, LFC or Etikeke camp are feeding these guys stuff everyday. This is pure clickbait, they can make stuff up, knowing full well, they can flip flop and it doesnt matter, it's all about the clicks. Dont get me wrong, I think he will end up at Liverpool, as there is no smoke without fire but this everyday, NUFC are close, LFC are thinking about, LFC are making progress, NUFC have made a 2nd bid, LFC are thinking about it. It's all theatre. Until a player lands at Newcastle airport, then take anything these guys say as pure fantasy!
I think it's a mathematical and prestige based guarantee Liverpool get the player. It's of course being claimed as some kind of great play by the great Liverpool, but the fact is they failed to buy Isak and were forced to get their second choice. The fact Newcastle have kept Isak despite media desperation for someone to take him away from Newcastle all season is the win, but they conveniently tap dance around it. Perhaps it was Newcastle with the great play? Liverpool sniffing around annoying Isak, so Newcastle said go and buy Ekitike or we will and you're not getting Isak then are you.
I'm going to put the same on Joelinton putting this guy into row 6. I also have this bet with Joao Pedro and Mbuembo. At this rate Joelinton will only play 3 games this season and will be suspended for all the other games.
I’m not that fussed if Ekitike goes to Liverpool. He’s shafted us twice already and if he does it again then **** him. We can spend half and get someone else.
Indeed. But as Chaos says, the media spin will all be about the 'victory' for Liverpool signing our target, despite us telling them to fook off, as we're not selling Isak.
