**** me lads… some ****ing views in here. Jesus. If he goes, he goes… not gonna get bent out of shape about it. Will be hard to replace but we’ll be fairly well minted. We’ve got a decent budget without it.
It's as if big clubs never ever sell top players. Players want to move on, clubs get money for them. They can then reinvest. It's just how it is. We're just not used to selling someone for quite so much.
Will be our biggest transfer fee in history. I honestly hope he does go to Saudi. For like 200m plus. We would have the best transfer kitty. Could sign 4 top first team players and still not touch the sides with PSR. And he’s replaceable. He won’t score as many goals (I don’t think) at Liverpool if he went there as they have Salah. And he takes their penalties.
I wonder if Isak would accept going to a Saudi club for 200mil+ on the auspices that he can leave for 100mil 6 months later for a cut price deal to a club of his choice. It would allow PIF to get our income over the magic 500/600mil seasonal revenue barrier and allow the club to compete on a more even footing with the "Big 6" going forward.
My tip for a title charge next season. They are apparently after that Dutch Simons. Let’s just sign Wissa for £35m who scores goals. Get a RCB and a replacement for Pope. And we can spend in January if we need.
Even Man City fans feel for us. And can see it for what it is. https://x.com/maineroad71/status/1948390665533972557?s=46
Yes but we are in pre season now and we all know how morbidly slow we are at buying. It took Longstaff 4 weeks to sign for Leeds. We would do well to sell Isak before the season starts.
I’d love to say the penny has dropped but you’ll moan like **** that we sold the bestest player in the world soon I fear
While this is encouraging I get the feeling it'll follow with the player refusing the move and it'll further the nufc fan anguish.. Fingers crossed. Hopefully we come out of this better off 1st 11 wise fingers crossed.. Sesko and 3 or 4 more goodies and I think we would be.
