Villa sold some of their biggest stars in their last couple of seasons. If that's what you call squad buiding, then we can do that as well.

Looks very skilful, but probably needs to look for team mates now and then.

They might not even be serious about Sesko, at least not this season. It might be Sesko is pining to be a Man U player and is prepared to wait.

I'm assuming Howe must be open to selling if he can get Sesko and Wissa in with the money. Howe seems to be the main man in charge of our transfer policy with Mitchell and Eales out of the picture.

Yep.

This has always been my position. Liverpool are not in a position to set the agenda here, Isak is our player and under contract no matter how much bitching comes from his circles.

Agree with this. Even if you take a long term view building a new stadium isn't going to be the equaliser, it still won't be as big as the cartel clubs. The only way to make up ground is using APT sponsorships if City win their case against the PL. The rest of the hacks like selling womens teams or training ground sponsorships will barely make a dent.

I think they would have if they thought we were open to selling Isak, then it seems they got nervous we might end up with both so probably thought they would do that instead by signing Ekitike then getting Isak to agitate for a move.

They look better than us tbh, amateurs or not.

He'd agreed terms with us iirc, only for Liverpool to jump in.

If that was the case then LIverpool did themselves no favours by signing Ekitike from under our noses. This is exactly why we should tell them to do one unless they want to offer outrageous money.

Fuck off with that AnfieldSector shit.

Osula should have timed that better, cross was great from Krafth.

The home refs are letting them get away with quite a few fouls tbh, they scored directly from one.

It doesn't get done unless two things happen: 1) We get an adeuate replacement 2) Liverpool pay a fair price for a world class striker

Yep. Keep Isak and sign Wissa, job done.

We won't be winning many new fans over there with performances like this. Doubt they would be impressed seeing a side filled with reserve players either.

They have no intention of coughing up the asking price, that's why they are using Isak and his agent to do the negotiating by proxy.

Well that should have been pulled up for a foul on Elanga.

Quite a few of these don't tbf.

Aye that would look really flaky on our part.

This. Why should we weaken our team to suit other teams agendas when we have him under 3 years contract still? Every other fucker is looking after their own interests, we should be looking after ours.

It only makes sense if there's still no intention to sell Isak.

I would honestly be ashamed to be a Newcastle fan if we sing that and Isak is in their shirt.

That's incredibly specific if there's no reliable source behind it.
