We've driven him nowhere. That's Newcastle. We've looked after ourselves. Newcastle told us he easnt for sale and we moved on. No issue here. If a SMALL CLUB MENTALITY gets the hump because a players agent was talked to to see if the player might say yes to a 120mil transfer then that'd the small clubs issue. We can grumble about real madrid and bayern but we also get on with it because you just have to.
Gossip. It's all gossip. Aka made up crap until someone really confirms it as a real sports journalist sticking their name to it.
We still have the money available for Isak if he becomes available this year. True, we need at least one CB still, but IF he becomes available this summer, then any talk of Rodrygo is over (not the end of the world), and probably Diaz gets that move to Munich even though it won't be for what we want for him. And Darwin will get a firesale price too. We seem hell bent on him for under £130m, if not we wait until next season and see if we can get him for <£100m. As has been said by others though, an awful lot of eggs are going into that one injury-prone striker's basket when we've just signed a striker, and we may as well give Darwin another season now as a backup forward/left-winger.
