As for Liverpool - all this press is clearly coming from them to unsettle him. Just fuck off.

It honestly feels like that's the way some people think. I'm happy to just wait and see, and when the transfer window actually closes, then we can assess if it's good, bad, or somewhere in-between

Get him on an improved contract ASAP, IMO. Make him our highest paid player, on world class money. Try and get a year or two extension. Then agree to a release clause, that relates to where we are in competions - in CL £180M, outside - £150M. Reality is, he will go at somepoint, and we probably need him to financiallly. Improve the contract and keep his value high, or accept he is going next summer, and keep it as it is. At the end of the day, we are not currently (I know the window only recently opened) looking particularly agreesive in the transfer market. That will almost certainly change, and deals will be done. But to keep someone like Isak, we need to show real progress and strength in depth after this window.

The club doesn’t even need to try that hard to sell itself, Eddie will get you playing for your national team, you’ll win silverware and you’ll be adored. The other lads love it here and there’s a great team spirit where we try to hold onto our players. If players don’t buy into that, they can hoy themselves into the sea

Depends what his starting point is/was. If it’s miles away from what we’re prepared to offer, it’s a waste of time of bothering.

Feels a bit snide, not announcing it all together. Loads will have got shite Saturday seats and could have mint ones Friday night but can’t afford both.

I don't think a player can afford the club... And that's my bad joke quota for the day filled! 😁

Quite excited about this pre-season actually

Because as long as they make a profit there golden which they will with there commercial revenues. It's so stacked on the cartels favour.

Decent. Think I'll go to that too.

How can the debt not matter? Where's the line between a club being sustainable and bankrupt?

I just hope we have people who can sell the club to the player well enough when we negotiate. Mbuemo wanted a hefty wedge but with a bit of persuading with champions league football and guaranteed first team starter surely we could've gotten that wage down a bit maybes added incentive based clauses.

The debt doesn't matter. Though I'm sure I've seen they don't have much PSR headroom without sales. Probably why they're struggling to get to Mbeumo deal done.

How do Man U have PSR headroom? They are £1billion in debt aren't they? 🤔

All the top 6 clubs that have signed players simply dont have the restriction we do on wages and PSR. We can continue to get bent out of shape about it or accept, the same as last year and the year before, that is our reality for the next 5 years at least until we can try and bridge the gap. That comes commercially, waiting for our academy to create consistent players to sell on and forcing out the dead wood. We have made good inroads on the latter. We all know this obviousy, its not new info. Lots of us, myself included just all like a grumble and feel better about ourselves flying into knee jerk panic and posting adnauseum as therapy. The only surefire way to bridge the gap quicker is by selling the likes of Isak and Bruno. I think the meltdown if/when that happens will be even worse than this 2 weeks into the window panic.

Saudi mag attack, marra.

Delaying the announcement, putting it the day before the Atleti game and charging another £20 for it. Spectacular.

May have gone a bit far there

Nature abhors a vacuum. We run a tight ship. We are doing things - surely no one actually believes we are just twiddling our thumbs, waiting for some date in the future to act - but no one outside of the club truly knows what they are. When there's no information from anywhere, people just cannot accept that. That's where weird theories, strange names, baseless rumours, etc come from. We deal with attention seeking behavior from people who thrive on getting a response from the public. Long story short, wait until something happens before reacting to it.

Tasty. Interesting it’s not being billed as part of the Sela Cup. £20 for adults, £10 for concessions.

Whats his position really?

Espanyol (H) 8th August

Fake looks better. Adidas in the mud.

Guessing it’s Tel and Danso
