Hardly controversial or unexpected. EH was always going be tasked with that first day back. Promising Isak showed up today. Makes it less dramatic tomorrow. Manager needs to know the plan going forward into these two home friendlies ideally. If Isak plays in one of them then you’d imagine that’s that. If he ain’t involved then we need someone in ASAP.

Because football isn’t about football. It’s about money laundering… Didn’t you know?

Different times now though. The figures involved and PSR stacked against us. The timing of the news and targets already missed in the window. I still back Isak to pull his socks up. Even if just for 12 months. Shearer can be thick at times. Wouldn’t let him guide your thinking.

No different to Ekitike. We are after a Wilson replacement who’s versatile with the potential to replace Isak in 12 months after bedding in. If Wissa deal gets done first then that changes things.

I read a week ago it would be around £20m

Man Utd might argue they won the cup because of it In fairness… Karius had a canny game. 2nd goal I still replay in my mind though.

Fixed it

Yep. If they get him they’ll probably finish above us.

Maybe. Still thought we should’ve been in for their Moroccan forward .

Thought this lad might have been a decent squad pick up. Though only seen little of him.

Don’t see a lot of ambition left in Ramos. Maybe judging him harshly but you want players who are hungry to win their first bits of silverware here.

I think you are all assuming save face with their fans like Caulkin. Maybe more to save face with Isak and his agent.

I love when my posts are lost in literal translation

I’m talking mainly about the running commentary every hour from the Twitterarchy! Turning even the the most basic of deals into a soap opera.

We didn’t to this extent until all these American owners started appearing. Feel it’s their way of giving us a draft… Cartel get first 20 picks though…

Slightly off topic but if this is the future of transfer windows with Hollywood/American influences then I’m already dreading January when the Cartel need to top up their squads with little consequence to other teams.

Think it ended up below £60m + add ons. I remember the fee and the wages coming down significantly last minute causing us to pivot from Pedro. Isak’s wage demands along halved from £250kpw to £125kpw. Fee with add ons was around £63m I believe but who ever knows.

He’ll go to Man Utd later in the window for same as what we’ve offered up front. Ill be happy as the less dodgy agents in our henhouse the better going forward.

I’d suggest you can only buy 3 players per window maximum.

We never paid £70m for Isak. Closer to £60m

Wait till you find out how much RS will receive if we sold Isak for £150m+

Earlier they wanted a fee and add ons which we said they could have without haggling. Go back a day.

They’ll not get one. We aren’t convinced. Man Utd ain’t got the money.

Not really. Leipzig know what they are doing. We offered them exactly what they wanted up front and now they are trying it on for more knowing the player is waiting for Man Utd to be in a position to bid.

On profit maybe but not overall fee. Anyone he’s going to Man Utd and we will have Isak and Wissa.
