    He won't be but we need to rinse Liverpool - £150 million fee in full up front with a further £50 million based on incentives. Include a sell on 20% sell on clause as well.

    They want him they pay.

    I also will be amazed if Isak is still here at the end of the transfer window.

    I would also not care if he is unhappy then if we haven’t sold him. His own fault for agreeing and signing his current contract.

    Also not bothered if his value drops although I can’t see that happening for 2 years. This in part is about messages. And the message should be is that we sell when we want to and not the player. The message is we are ambitious and we make the decisions and not the player. Also, I don’t think Isak would ‘down tools’ a la Cabaye but I appreciate that that is a gamble.

    In summary don’t sell him, agree a new contract, agree he can go in 2 years at market value if he still wants to go and still buy Sesko. That for me would send out the right message to players, agents and other Clubs as well as to our fans.

    Sesko is going to Man U.

    We will sell Isakfor £130m with no future percentage and we will have DCL as our main striker.

    My scenario is more likely than yours, do you agree?

    Play hardball. Tough **** if he's unhappy. He's an employee. He's free to pay us £17 million to buy out his contract plus compensation for breaking said contract. Otherwise, Liverpool pay us a world record transfer fee. He's our player and has three years left on his contract.

    He's part of the long term project and if he has concerns about it then we need to address them quickly. Sign Sesko as a statement and Guehi/ Scalvini. Stop messing around trying to be clever and **** PSR concerns.

    When the Saudis buy Anthony, they will.

    See how screwed up this all is. Saudis are actively funding our rivals for more money than we can generate. Chelsea have made 130M from them in 6 weeks.
    We aren't competing with that and so this no1 talk is just that.

    Yet we could only sell ASM to the Saudis for 22 million - well below market value at the time.

    PIF via Clearwater are pumping money into Chelsea without anyone saying anything. Yet they cannot do that with NUFC.

    If we can't even sign a free player in a timely fashion then there are serious issues with this clubs transfer policy.

    I notice the worm has finally turned on other social medias, fans finally realizing that this lot are just **** at signing footballers.

    The proposed "Sporting" director is a mate of Howe's. He's absolutely useless by all accounts as well.

    Basically, we need a sporting director who is Howe's boss with a whole competent recruitment team underneath. Nickson is a brilliant scout but he's useless as head of recruitment. Andy Howe is just useless.

    You planning another cosmetic surgery trip to Turkey then? Think Thailand is the premier location for that though. Suspect they could source an extra 12" off your head and you would have no problem with rejection.

    Tenuous rumours claiming Howe is indecisive and is a part of our issue.

    Man Utd in talks with Sesko.
    We know how this will end as they will be able to pay him a fortune in wages

    300k a week vs 100k a week. I wonder which way this one will go?

    Who's next?
