The Prophet

This was done with Tino and City too. No one else was pushing it

Fab must be on the payroll of quite a few clubs now. Sad to see.

Rodrygo.

What do you want me to say, he's probably ze Deutsch Burnsie.

I'm going to take SUPERTOON's advice to lighten the mood. So this was the first account on the Ekitike stuff: "Newcastle United will present an improved offer for Hugo Ekitiké to #Eintracht tomorrow. An offer that Markus Krösche demands and will accept! Documents for the medical check are already prepared. Private jet is booked, everything could be finalized by Friday." It's almost certainly nonsense, but with Liverpool sniffing round Isak and the ginger Guttuso off, it's worth a post.

Who is there left to hound out? Willock is next I assume.

Good stuff. You could say we now look a bit Shortstaffed in midfield though?

He does seem quite erratic. To be expected at that age like.

I think that's what we'll do, call their bluff. Don't see us walking away unless the player turns us down.

Hugo Traitortike, amarite?

Interesting how Sesko's stock has fallen as much as it has.

I hope the response was "you're welcome to him"

That'd be like getting your tip in Ana de Armas, then pulling out and finishing in Susan Boyle.

Purely from a time perspective, we could have done without another saga like. We're not there yet, but it has potential.

@duo @Scoot

Put an article out about an hour ago.

Both things can be true.

Apparently he has a different agent these days.

Aye, tend to agree. He'd be mad to shut it down, improved wages, a chance to win major trophies, etc. Doesn't mean he'll push for an exit though

Part written by Laurens: "Sources have also told ESPN Newcastle are working on a deal to sign Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike, with a view to the forward playing alongside Isak in attack. Liverpool have also been liked with the player however it is understood they are not convinced by the 23-year-old, with Newcastle set to up their offer to Frankfurt in the coming days."

I'd wager if that club exists, it's a Saudi club.

Hugo, you have the opportunity to make up for two years ago...

Just throwing it out there. Easy enough for Liverpool to deny with no way of verifying too.

The problem for Liverpool is that Isak is their number one target. If they're struggling to put a financial package together for him this summer, it becomes more difficult if they pay a huge sums for Ekitike and Guehi this summer.
