The Prophet

Wasn't the talk that for Isak to leave, we required replacements and Liverpool would have to meet our valuation?

Isak likely goes, but I think we're a long way off a bid being accepted. There's at least a £40 million gap in valuation.

He was saying, staying with the camp in pre-season has helped him build up relationships and he now has a better understanding of how and why we do things. Probably means he'll get more scoops moving forward.

Ramsdale is probably just about a better keeper at this moment in time, but Trafford will surpass him quite comfortably. He's still a baby for a GK.

If we ended with... Out: Dubs, Kelly, Longstaff, Wilson, Isak In: Ramsdale, Thiaw, Rudoni, Elanga, Wissa, Sesko. How would we be feeling? It'd feel like a much stronger squad, but a weaker first team.

In theory, we could spend now and hold onto him until the 2026 PSR deadline. Not that I think we would like.

Quite a different profile to Isak and Ekitike. Don’t get me wrong, he'll drop in and link up, but he's much more of a conventional centre forward.

The toucher has spoken...

I'm definitely overthinking it, but the 3 goals and minimal effort in his last 15, isn't a great look with the benefit of hindsight.

Depends on how our amortisation is looking. £150 million for Isak would hit the accounts this summer, where as the Sesko fee costs us £14 million. I'm dead fun at parties, honest.

He clearly got sick of Andy Howe's shit.

Reads like copium.

Whether we sign Sesko, Wissa or both, we shouldn't be lowering or altering our terms. The message should be pay up or fuck off.

I see Sky are now referring this to "Man United's pursuit of Benjamin Sesko"

In his breakout season, he showed a lot of promise, but was evidently raw. He hasn't really kicked on since then.

Everton finally getting a move on.

How come?

"Newcastle is once again inquiring about Malick Thiaw" @JT24

Martin Hardy isn't reliable by the way.

Newcastle is once again inquiring about Malick Thiaw. Feels like this one is nailed on like.

Another non-update too...

Was sure where to put this, but this lad has berm blocked by Ornstein... Someone has thin skin.

Still this.
