He seems more keen on Man U, but then Isak seems more keen on Liverpool. These legacy clubs hold a lot of pull for foreign players especially.

I hope so, there was some talk about us walking away after they quoted us £50m.

This is me as well, love me a goalkeeper who commands the penalty area. But I'm hoping Ramsdale is decent in that regard as well.

Not sure about that one like, might have been put on the standby list while we pursue Sesko.

That's how I read it. Should open the path to Sesko for us assuming the prick even wants to come here.

Tbf everything including future signings depends on what our decision is on Isak. We have no idea at this point, the club are keeping mum on it.

I thought he was good in the shot stopping category for Arsenal, but he did drop the odd clanger. Maybe he's matured since then, he was pretty young for a keeper.

If his distribution is significantly better it could make a big difference to how effectively we play the ball out. When I was looking at Trafford he did seem particularly good at finding his players.

In the real world that's not likely. Do you really see a scenario where we have all three on our books?

We really need to make a stand on whether we are keeping Isak or not because lack of clarity affects the price. If we take the plunge and buy two strikers to cover our bases, then Liverpool know we have to sell and that lowers the price. Even buying one striker depends on whether we are keeping Isak or replacing him. You can sort of see why we are stuck between two stools at the moment.

It reflects pretty badly on the sitting board who are hands on then. Not sure who is involved, is Silverstone the main man now?

You would have thought that was the sensible way to do it but we seem to have fucked every other transfer up so not really that surprising.

Depends if it comes off the final fee I suppose.

Trafford is great with the ball at his feet, but my theory is he has the agility of a rhino. Low tricklers into the corners will be his embarrassing weakness.

I'll bet he's geet slow to get down to the low ones.

Fuck Trafford the heavy bodied bastard.

It's how we roll.

Must say I really rated him at the time of that documentary. I thought he was a top keeper back then.

Would be so funny if we refuse to sell then buy Sesko or Wissa to welcome them to St James Park.

This can still be turned around if we buy Sesko/Wissa and hold Isak to his contract. That leaves Liverpool with piss weak Ekitike as their striker when they come to St James. The world is watching.

Join the select elite band of brothers.

We are better off hoping he turns out great tbh, otherwise it's money down the drain for the loan fee.

PIF need to make a statement. Not verbally necessarily, just show a power move to reflect their status. Tell Liverpool to get bent maybe, or hand Isak a contract he can't refuse. We need to see the hammer come down.

What's different today? No CEO or DOF, and Andy Howe running transfer negotiations?

I still don't know how PIF couldn't come up with a way of giving him a contract which would keep him here.
