rightly so that they will write will write off, it’s the right thing to do and shows good will. Will will write be the right player for us and show will to succeed? It’s only right to ask about write now.
At least we can move onto the next transfer now. We seem incapable of doing more than one deal at a time.
Diaz confirmed gone. Leaves having delivered multiple trophies and being a key player - justified the fee paid for him and more.
Also net spend down to 141 mil. Just another couple of deals and we hit the 80mil Nunez and chiesa alone knock us back to that.
He leaves with everyone's good wishes, I hope. Bit irked with him partying after Jota's death, but there's little doubt he was as upset as everyone else. For my money, his fisrt 18 months were outstanding, but he missed nearly a season with that knee injury at Arsenal, then he wasn't quite as explosive. But it's the right decision for everyone, and Rio coming through should negate the need for Rodrygo, despite all the moves his camp is making to engineer a move to us. Spend that money on a CB/no6 is what I say.
So Isak possibly back home in Sweden, training alone. Looks like the wait is for Newcastle to sign a striker and then we'll see movements across several clubs. Reportedly, if we sign him, he will be on same wages as Ekitike. Newcastle, seemingly, unable to attract anyone.
Turning into a bit of a saga this. Newcastle brand is taking a knock, can’t get any striker over the line and if they keep Isak when he clearly wants out, that is not a good sign for prospective signings
Well I feel no guilt. Every club is talking to players and agents. There's not one that isn't. So who put the story out. It broke like a thunderclap. Lfc ready to spend 120mil. So who put that out? and that fee out? And why did the player then come out at week and a half later demanding to check out options? We talked to Newcastle (maybe) And maybe we got told no way. (Maybe) because they got the hump or their fans let the board know (who knows) But we did go buy Ekitike after they stopped bidding on him. He's in red now so that's about the only fact we have in this. So who is talking right now about this?
Apparently Howe and Hughes are friends. Maybe it's the long game - Newcastle resigned to the fact that the player wants to leave and playing it out to keep the fans on side and not to lose face themselves.
I wasn't particularly keen on Isak anyway but with him effectively on strike, it just adds more reason for not wanting him. I think we should stay clear of him
Quite possibly. Im wondering if we did just walk away (if we actually enquired) and the rest is all made up. I can't see us sign ekitike and then go for isak.
Liverpool beat Arsenal to sign a striker. https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/liverpool-beat-arsenal-prolific-striker-transfer-agreed
Yeh, that's what I said earlier. It's dependent on them getting a striker in and so far the few being linked to go there are being linked simultaneously to other clubs e.g Sesko.
