Yeah, maybe he just wasn't for the move at all. I'm not too worried about the Saudi clubs buying these players for the meantime. Because as soon as the likes of Joelinton and Bruno start winding down their careers at Newcastle and those Saudi offers come in, no one is going to be in position to complain about the money we command for them.

Why would he close the door?! If Liverpool offered £300 million tomorrow and we accepted and told him he can leave, he isn't going to say no. The important thing is so far we've heard nothing of him agitating for a move or being a nuisance. Looks like he's leaving it up to the club to decide what they want to do, which sucks for everyone else. This is so silly man.

Yeah. lets see. it's going to be really interesting. Really do think they missed a great chance to have an early and proper rebuild when they didn't take that money for Fernandes.

All the pressure is on Man United regarding moving these players on. Clubs are not going to be in any kind of hurry to pay any kind of decent money for them. Froggy was proclaiming they'd get £60 million for him, and so ask him how he feels about £40 million, which I think will be the absolute best at this point, so I'm not even confident they get that at all.

This was what everyone was claiming it would take to sign Ekitike. Not buying it personally.

Garnacho is amongst a set of players that they're not allowing to train with the first team, who have publicly proclaimed they want to leave, and who have all been labelled as malcontents. Clubs are going to offer way below value for them, or wait to get them on loan. They are in real trouble regarding sales for these guys. The move for Man United was to do everything to convince Bruno to go to Saudi for that £100 million that was offered. But they bottled it. Absolute best case scenario for Garnacho will be around £40 million, but I'm not sure I can even see that happening now.

This is another thing. The deals that have happened so far this summer, have only really served to push Isak's fee even higher if anything. And here's Liverpool communicating that they're ready to pay £120 million if we're interested in selling. As though they're doing us some sort of favour!

I'm not convinced they want Ekitike either. Think they're playing silly buggers through the media.

What on Earth are Liverpool doing?! £120 million This reeks of "we tried" before they then sign a Mateta. They're just making a bunch of noise through these journalists and aren't even making any bids It looks as though Liverpool are trying to call our bluff on the £150 million plus fee claims, as far as what we want, and they are finding out that we weren't joking around. I also don't think Ekitike really interests Liverpool, otherwise I doubt he would have progressed so far in potentially signing for us if Liverpool had been in contact with his people over the summer as a potential option for them. This is looking like desperation from Liverpool. It's so weird man. Like they really thought we'd accept this £120 million package.

Yeah, Gyokeres would have been great for them. I think there was talk they had a chance if they had qualified for the Champions League by winning the Europa final. Sesko is another that you can play through in build up, but think he can also lead the line, so he has some versatility. In his partnership with Openda, he's more the deeper striker though.

They're already in the process of ruining another young striker that drops deep to link play and create chances in Zirkzee. They play two tens and should be after a striker that is a more traditional forward that gets in behind and finds space in the box.

They don't call him The Prophet for no reason you know.

If this doesn't happen I'm blaming all the negativity and bad juju in here!

This forum is incredibly toxic man Seeks out the worst case scenario in everything.

People really get so worked up about missing out on a signing that they can't even bare to watch a video on a player we're linked with?!!! I actually thought you lot were just messing about when you said that. Man, that is just sad. Cant imagine how miserable these summers must be for you!

They're not going to listen

They just can't stop giving good players away! This guy spent a year at Benfica and is now at real Madrid for 4 times what they sold him for. And they actually need players in his position! Just unbelievable.

I thought Arsenal and Liverpool fans were bad when it came to talk of them signing Isak ... somehow Newcastle fans have managed to surpass them both!

Sit back relax and NJOY. They've been convinced Isak is their number 1 target and Ekitike the backup. Imagine the meltdown when we end up with both next season. It is going to be epic.

Eddie disagrees. Lol.

That fee keeps coming on down! Think that's likely to be the guaranteed money, with potential add ons to be discussed. Good signs that talks are ongoing. No news from the German side playing this down or dismissing the fee. Let's will this into existence!

I've fully accepted that this is not what we all dream about at all. Some dream of disappointment and wallowing in self pity!

Oh yeah My mistake

Do other fans behave like this when they are linked with good players?!
