    Speaking of Al-Rumayyan - He's apparently personally intervened and is speaking with Isak.

    We already have a lot to spend so we should be able to get Wissa, GK and CB anyway. If Isak is definitely going then we get Sesko to replace him and have loads to spend on another midfielder and still cash in the bank for January.

    Well if the Saudis buy Nunez which then gives the scousers the funds to conclude the Isak transfer, we shouldn't worry about it?

    Football has become a spreadsheet game these past 5 years and they are using macros whilst we are using ctrl c and v

    For me, no, no I went worry about it.
    Football is entertainment. What happens outside if the physical game I find fascinating but I'll never worry about it.

    This seems utterly logical.

    As above - We get a GK, CB and Wissa and cash in on Isak - We buy Sesko and a midfielder we're laughing. We are straight away a better side/ squad.

    Hope this has stirred Yasir into action and he starts to park a few tanks on people's lawns.
    Let's get into them!

    I still think that fundamentally Isak has called our bluff and wants an improved contract and to see us do something. It's "give me this or else" driven by his agent no doubt.

    If he's adamant that he wants to leave then we play hardball and say "no other PL clubs."

    Apparently but it's the usual rumour mill b/s. We're probably after someone in Belgium knowing us.

    Trafford is apparently £35 million.

    Maybe in 'real terms' as City had a major sell on clause, so would that reduce how much they pay Burnley for him - i.e. effectively paying themselves?

    They get the chance to match any other bid under the buy back clause. Basically, they have shafted Burnley. Buy back clause and sell on clause.

    Wow we must be approaching a dozen rejections. Trafford happy to sit on City bench rather than come to Newcastle. Interesting.
