For the sake of £2-3m Leipzig will agree with the Man U sale which I am pretty sure Sesko will go for.

Well let's wait until they do, because as it stands all they've offered is £110m, so the only thing I'm sorely tempted to do is tell them to stick it up their arse.

Yeah he's 22. Not 12.

And for less than he's worth.

Does Sesko not have his own mind like?

I don't know why we waste so much effort on random twitter journos tbh. If Sesko prefers Man U, it's not because Romano is whispering in his ear.

Are we going to blame Romano for Sesko preferring Man U now?

Could always sell him for £110m.

No he's not. If Sesko wanted to be at Newcastle, he will be.

So you would sell to them for £110m then?

It would be the perfect summary of what PSR has given us.

Yep that sounds likely.

We supposedly gave a deadline of today for a decision so at least we won't have to put up with this that much longer.

As long as we get our money which is due. Which at present we aren't.

Liverpool will just come in and match our bid if it comes to a push. Either way I think he's probably ending up there if they want him.

Just get on with it and accept the Newcastle deal man.

Can't believe that's true, would basically be handing Liverpool all the aces in the pack. Crazy strategy if we are going with that.

Exactly. People tend to over-dramatise everything online, but in the world of professional football, these things happen, and players will get past it once everyone is back in the same changing room.

He's a superb striker, the only thing which goes against him is his age. If he was 25 everyone would be gagging to get this done. He's more of a sure thing than Sesko any day of the week.

He might be right tbf. In which case Sesko can decline our offer and we can move on.

Howe might think he can fix it. He's been fairly guarded in his comments so far, but I've seen nothing to suggest that he's already decided it's over for Isak here.

Eddie is ambitious, he will always want to keep his best players if there's a way back. He'd want to at least sit Isak down and lay out what his plans are for this season and that our ambition is second to none. He'll be pissed at the suggestion that Liverpool are considered above our station.

Even if this is just speculation, I would hope Leipzig would be giving out this message. Sesko needs to commit like we have and make his mind up.

That's the only scenario in which I see us agreeing to sell him this season, but even then Liverpool would have to come in with an acceptable bid, which I'm not sure they will.

This is what I was saying a few minutes ago. Leipzig have accepted our bid, Man U can't match it IMO, but if they have told Sesko that they want him, he could just wait it out. I think that's why we gave him 48hrs to accept which will expire today. Think it's still 50/50 personally. At least after today we should be in a clear space to move on if he's fucking us about.
