Oh dear ... Son is bottling his big send off

Joelinton man. Calm down.

That is a horrendous slip man. Bruno is such an iron man. So tough.

Miley's switches to the flanks have been great. Like the look of him at the base of midfield.

That was brilliant build up and a great finish. Fantastic stuff.

Yeah, a pretty significant one.

Lovely play in the lead up to that chance though.

Joelinton that is ridiculous. You cannot miss that header man!

Targett's legs have completely gone.

Classic Jacob Murphy in early build up play.

This is actually beginning to read like Man United are actually the ones being used to get us to make the changes Leipzig wants to the bid

Before anyone goes throwing their phone maybe watch this first. Think you'll feel a bit better.

Great news. We're going to need someone that knows the league that's ready to go for the start of the season. Even if Isak stays don't think we can afford to play him early on, not until he sobers up.

Once we come to an agreement with Leipzig everything will be a whole lot clearer on this whole thing.

The price they were asking for him at the start of the window was around 100 million euros. They have since dropped the price, which is part of the reason they want the sell on clause included.

Even if Man Utd can offer more wages, I'm not sure it matters, unless they are willing to satisfy Leipzig's demands without any haggling. Sesko and his agent aren't going to act in their own interests to the detriment of Leipzig, from what I've seen. If they were I'm pretty sure he would be at Arsenal already.

The only difference was that we did not include a sell on clause.

Just to follow on from my post before. @Ronson333 just posted the tweet further below on Romano in the Isak thread. You have to also wonder if Man United having failed to get Sesko to choose them and screw over Leipzig, then started "encouraging" these "journalists" to keep harping on about how Sesko prefers Man United and is waiting on them as a priority. In order to try and discourage Newcastle and put them off perhaps? There were even reports starting to do the rounds that we had pulled out of the deal, before that news then broke from Slovenia, and a bid followed from us the next day. Some very very very shady things going on with some of these clubs and these guys like Romano.

I followed the Arsenal and Sesko drama a little bit, earlier in the summer. Something I took away from that is that Sesko and his agent have a great relationship with Leipzig. Unless clubs that are interested pay what Leipzig wants, I got the impression that Sesko would just stay there and not kick up any kind of fuss whatsoever. Arsenal were trying everything to pay less for Sesko to no avail. Instead they got Gyokeres to make a real stink at Sporting and insist on Arsenal so that Arsenal could then negotiate the price/terms in their favour. This is apparently the new "big club" dirt bag move. Get the player to say he only wants them, so they can then bully the selling club into accepting less. I think Man United have tried the same stunt here and it may have backfired. Surely Sesko would have come out and insisted on them by now, if he favoured them and wanted to give them an advantage in negotiations? But I don't believe Sesko and his agent are at all willing to do that to Leipzig. From the beginning of the week Romano has been saying that we are willing to pay both Sesko and Leipzig what they want, which is crucial for this deal to happen. On Friday night we hear from his homeland he has chosen us and then a bid the next day. I'm thinking we make those final adjustments to the bid and this thing could be all wrapped up. Wouldn't be surprised at all if we already had agreement with Sesko and his agent in line with the Slovenian reports, and so they're just waiting for us to agree with Leipzig too, before they confirm everything officially. Sesko and his agent are working closely with Leipzig on this whole thing. If either party isn't happy this deal is not going to happen. From the Man Utd side it seems they are not willing to pay what is being asked, similar to Arsenal, and so are trying to do the Gyokeres and Mbeumo thing and haggle the fee down.

They want £6 million more than what we paid for Isak.

RB Leipzig view Newcastle offer for Benjamin Sesko as insufficient. #NUFC proposal €75m + €5m after #RBLeipzig asked interested clubs for ~€75m + add-ons + sell-on.

Clickbait.

How are the club less convinced by him too?
