The Chronicle of 20 years ago may have asked hard questions. But now we'll just get 'Newcastle suffer Isak truth as Sesko reality emerges' followed by sub-par, ChatGPT bloated nonsense. These 'journalists' would be terrified of asking what the fuck is going on.

Time to move on. Again.

BACK OF THE NET!

Christ, this is all like a bad dream. Waited 3 transfer windows only for us to become a complete shambles. Man Utd want Pope according to the shite that passes for journalism on Newsnow these days. Just imagine if that's why we're in for Ramsdale

The simplest answer is often the right one. Waiting for an unpredictable series of outcomes isn't the simplest. That we're not their priority at the moment is.

If he's essentially on strike as rumoured, surely no one can object to him being roundly booed when the dippers turn up at St James. The fucker will probably get a hat-trick knowing our luck.

Can you go back under the cover of darkness and please glue one of these in the corner of his living room window? https://www.efeel.co/spy-eavesdropping-device-through-the-wall-13k-sound-amplification

Think my childhood basically shaped me to expect the absolute worst in everything I'm quite cheerful in public though

Of course Onto the next one. Feels all paths lead to DCL, as Chelsea will have us over a barrel on Jackson and probably look to drag it out then deny the sale.

This was supposed to be PIFs statement summer for us. Unfortunately the statement turned out to be 'we're cucks'. That and they're not really interested in us any more.

Can you honestly see that happening? We might get Jackson for a ridiculous price of say £80m (Chelsea don't have to sell and know we're desperate), but Sesko just feels like another Ekitike situation e.g. our name being used to encourage interest from bigger clubs.

If Isak leaving is 'out of Howe's hands' and we fail to bring in a suitable replacement, he's within his rights to resign. He'll be fuming.

I'm sure we'll get someone in. It's whether it's an emergency contract for DCL or a Sesko.

Fucking hell, even if we get £150m, it's still going to hurt when Liverpool reveal him this week. The club are basically lying at this point, are they not? Isak has clearly been told we're willing sellers.

Well, there's this fucking bid then? Are Liverpool intentionally leaving till the last moment in the hope of leaving us unable to source a replacement? For that to work, Isak would essentially have had to told the club he'll refuse to play.

We didn't have an expanded Champions League to deal with last season, so a squad that had to regularly balance two games a week wasn't essential.

In the domestic cup games, we're still going to have to call on at least one of Joe, Bruno or Tonali surely, and we're also relying on Miley never picking up a knock. Longstaff would have been fine for starting cups and emergency cover/sub.

Selling Longstaff seems a terrible error. Don't think there's even been rumours of his replacement in the squad?

Even if we somehow get £150m for him this week, it's difficult to believe we'll put the money to good use. Elenaga apart, we already had money burning in our pockets this summer and it's been a complete disaster.

Do we arguably need two decent centre backs now with Botman proving to be a perma-crock?

Should he stay, he must be nervous about being run into the ground with our atrocious squad depth.

Here we go again It's looking to be a Burn/Schar partnership again for the majority of the season.

This will cheers you all up https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakgarnerpurkis/2025/07/28/give-alexander-isak-some-credit-for-his-bold-transfer-stance/

It's almost cruel demanding that he stays based on the shambles that we are right now.
