Relating to Mogwai's comment about average players on huge salaries, as I don't really see that, apart from Targett being in the high earners. And his initial form would have got him bargaining power there, but he's the only one who looks significantly overpaid right now.
That’s what I’m saying. Villa had him on £100k a week first. We didn’t pluck it out of thin air.
 
Are we resigned to losing Isak now? This ploddy Newcastle side with Steady Eddie in charge just isn't going to cut it, is it?

Liverpool and PSG rumoured to be offering a number of players as well as cash. The two differing rumours are PSG offering Acensio, Kolo Muani and Ramos. The Liverpool rumour sees Eddie considering Quansah and Gomez to get the deal done.......
 
Ekitike is 3 years younger and probably the next Isak. He'll probably go for around 50 to 60 million i guess.
A lot of young players have been described as the next ……… insert your own superstar name. Strikers do attract the big fees though. Difficult to see us spending big on a striker when we only play one and have Isak.

I meant in terms of going from a 65 million player to over 100 by the time he's 25.

It wasn't very clear tbf.:emoticon-0148-yes:

Gyokeres. David. Oshimen. Sesko. Semenyo. Kerkez. Mbuemo. Wissa. Rogers.

None of them play for a “big” club. There’s countless more. Isak is a wonderful player but don’t believe the media, in any sense.
 
Sounds like Lloyd Kelly is continuing to have a less than perfect time at Juventus. Last night Juventus lost 4-0 at home to Atalanta. Just read that poor old Kelly gave the ball away in midfield for their first goal, failed a half-hearted challenge that led to the second, got megged when attempting to block for the third and the fourth goal deflected in off of him.

Happily we'll still get that £20m for him, as long as Juventus finish high enough to get UEFA Conference League or better.

That moment where Howe and Kelly intensely say "unfinished business" to each other when he signed for us looks evermore ridiculous.
