Newcastle Fan

Said it before but if he prefers to go to a turmoil club and miss out in Champions League that's his choice really and there isn't much we can do about it, from the start it seems his agent was using us to draw interest from Manchester United, it seems both his agent and club are a nightmare to deal with generally, this is from when Arsenal were interested in him: "According to those with inside knowledge of the deal, ‘during negotiations, Sesko’s agent Elvis Basanovic had left club [Arsenal] insiders jaw dropped with his shenanigans. One Insider said he presented Sesko as “Messi”"

I heard reports from Saudi that PIF will only keep on club there, Al Hilal most likely will go to Kingdom Holdings which is owned by AlWaleed Bin Talal.

We've only just started getting linked with him

Hope he's working hard on his fitness as it seems he will be called upon last minute

I am trying not to join the headloss brigade yet but its starting to feel like that idiot on Arsenal Fan Tv that's always positive but here we go: We already got a top RW which was a priority, i don't see that much difference between him Trafford or Ramsdale which was a second thing we are looking at. While we lost both Ekitike and Sesko it's mainly down to those players not wanting us than lack of trying, if we can get one decent striker and hold on to Isak, as well as one CB to cover Schar we'd have enhanced our squad depth going into the season and avoided any major issues in key positions, we might need to add one or more player to cover other positions such as CM or LB but seeing how slow we're moving it might be difficult. Frustrating as it is we still have a lot more positive than negative heading into the season and hopefully we can start the season on the right foot and avoid the summer frustration to carry into the season.

He's due back in training today isn't he?

I mean lets be honest, if he is clearly desperate to join Man Utd and his agent has been telling all the known sources that. Then there really isn't much we can do about it? I just find it funny how he'd rather be booed by his own fans while his team is getting trashed at home then join a club with a better structure and playing champions league football. 27th of December when we are making a mockery of them again in Old Trafford he'll regret this decision.

Guy dosn't seem to like defending from what i've seen of him. shades of Oguchi Onyewu.

I think Isak is a pro and while he might be considering a switch he'll not act inappropriately or leave us when we don't have a replacement. even if he stays on i'm sure he'll do good.

Feels like has two choices to make, one is a footballing one and the other is a commercial one. Joining us is a much better footballing project for him, he'll play under a manager who helped all the players under him get better, champions league football, club that's on the up and just broke it's trophy curse. Joining them is what his agent will be pushing for, even though they are a club in turmoil and a manager who probably won't last half the season, the higher profile and the commercial aspect is appealing. Whatever he chooses i can't be arsed at the moment really we have Isak to keep as hostage until we find a proper player or even indulge in the prospect of Isak + another decent striker to back him up, i genuinely feel that any half decent striker will thrive in our system with all the hardworking players behind them feeding them.

Was he really left in Korea by mistake?

This has last minute rejected transfer deadline day bid all over it.

Come on let that be that and bring him for the Sela cup.

Shocking standard why are South fucking Shields trying to play our from the back. Leo Sahar looks good from this though.

Exactly and played a big part in our winning streak last year, Ramsdale does seem like an upgrade from him though and it will be great if we can sell him for profit.

Brilliant

U-21 beat South Shields 5-0 yesterday, Sanusi scoring as well as the new Turkish guy.

He was very good in his loan year and it made sense to sign him at the time, he's now third choice LB behind Hall and Livramento (if we choose to play him there) and even Alex Murphy dosn't look far from being ahead of him.

Yes, thought he looked decent.

Fun game, we looked much better.

Played everyone but the greek

Looks lively.

Very good half, love Miley's composure, Bruno and Barnes playing well too. Big Joe and Gordon have been a bit of a let down.

Big Joe used to wear No.9 ffs

Gordon has zero positional awarness as an ST.
