Oh

Meh. Thought he was older than 22 though, so that’s positive.

Don’t mind McGinn as a player but it’s bit of a weird link , the guy’s 30 plus years old. I’d be all right with it if it’s a cheapo deal. Which it won’t be.

Echoing everyone’s points probably but I can’t see how he leaves now (I mean, I can but it’d be an absolute disgrace). We get a year out of him in the shop window- get our own bidding war going- and source a replacement on our terms with a full team behind us. Get Wissa in to cover/ start and we can start to recover from this shambles of a summer.

Ugh. He’s okay. 30m is highway robbery imo.

Imagine being a worldie at the bar and watching your husband getting swerved by 7’s and 8’s all night.

At least this guy wants us.

need to remind myself it’s only a bit of football. It’s honestly embarrassing how much this shit is affecting me. Keep telling the better half it’s work-stress .

I might actually be done now, like. Exhausting.

good stuff. The guy’s been fucking us about anyway. Sounds like the kind of greasy character Man Utd love paying for.

It’s a World Cup year. They can just threaten to put him in the reserves for a season if he doesn’t go to us (providing no one else slaps in a matching bid). For whatever reason this looks like it has a deadline-day Levy lowball deal written all over it.

Heartening to hear. Great bunch of lads we have at the club, man.

Wow a tweet that doesn’t mention the team that hasn’t even bid yet!

Will this be the only “Here we go” tweet in existence that Romano says “Šeško KINDA wanted #NUFC”

If he does come in, I’d be about as happy as I could be, considering the shitty circumstances. That said, losing Isak- especially the way it’s all been playing out- feels like it’d be a bigger blow than the new signing would be a boost. So yeah, still feels like a net loss to me.

Because we didn’t sell Isak yet? That was quick.

I hope just for once these players wake the fuck and stop signing for them. Ridiculous.

Lad’s a slag, like.

After Liverpool’s glowing display of sportsmanship and restraint, it only makes sense they’ll now gallantly bow out and let us have him. I mean, why stop short of sainthood now, right? Sure, the poor guy might be utterly crushed missing out on this dream move, but at least he’ll always treasure the deep, spiritually enriching bond he now shares with the fine folks at Anfield. Truly, a once-in-a-lifetime connection.

If he goes for a penny under 150, it'll be a very public humiliation; it’ll be us getting bent over for everyone to see. This has been a stitch-up operation from the jump; the player himself, agents, media snakes, and that scumbag club all working together to tear apart the leverage we actually had. It’s a fucking disgrace.

We’re being bullied into losing our best player here when we hold all the cards. We said he’s not for sale earlier… so we should continue to say he’s not for fucking sale. I don’t care about Isak’s little tantrum, he’s got 3 years left; get on with it until we say so.

It was rumoured for a while here that they’d be doing direct to Newcastle flights. My wife, who’s a stewardess (steward? Whatever, flight crew) for Saudia was told this also. Not seen anything confirmed though.

It’s up to him to make up to us, not the other way around. He’s been disrespectful and, as of now, Liverpool are about 40m at least away from getting a deal over the line. If I’m Eddie, I’m making my door 4 ft shorter so he has to crawl into my office on his hands and knees.

Nah, I think general fans are also reveling in the schadenfreude too. Saw some cringe YouTube channels (“aura loss summer; toon can’t rizz up any ballers or bagsmen. L club.”) As well as traditional media discussing our failure to attract the big names.

One of these has got to land for Christ’s sake. I like that we’re going for top targets but it’s harming the club’s image to get pied off time after time.
