Genuinely believe that's just been leaked to piss Liverpool off

As always we should save judgement until the window closes. Frustrating but fairest way. Isak/Bruno/Tonali will be expecting the club to match their ambitions. Bruno vocally expressed this in post last game of the season interview that the squad needs help. The club will know how important it is.

This window has been crackers so far and we've signed 1 player

The thumb celebration is going to hit so hard on that MNF

Like it. Great foil to Isak Makes more financial sense and proves we're keeping Isak

Seeing this top again hurt my soul

a) Keep Isak b) Keep Isak + new contract c) Keep Isak + sign Ekitike for £86m d) sell Isak + sign Ekitike for £86m Are we in broad agreement the order of preference is: b, a, c, d #1 priority keep Isak and for £86m of our budget I'm not at all unhappy with Ekitike going to Liverpool

Smokescreen/atomic bomb for Mbeumo now its falling through at Man U

We signed Wissa or Watkins yet? Mbeumo or Guehi?

NE based journos incredibly quiet on all of this. Waugh just Ornstein puppet. Where's Rydog at

Dubious until we get a UK based reliable source re: 2nd bid

Incredibly quiet on Trafford/CB front. Obviously Isak and Ekitike noise dominating right now but we can't lose sight of the fact we need a CB and probably a CM now Longstaff has gone.

Maybe so. If he does, and i do think the club are doing this with current state of play, we have to extract the maximum £ possible.

Arguments both ways i guess. Us going for Ekitike in the first place knowing he was on Liverpool's radar as well as Isak, also a power move?

Disagree. Nothing stopping us saying Isak not for sale (which we have) and continuing to push hard for Hugo

Absolutely this. Despite a few airheads on social media calling it a Liverpool power play (Goldbridge), we hold all the cards

Ekitike goes there and its Liverpool and Arsenal off the table for the foreseeable for Isak.

I know we're all emotive/reactive but Liverpool aren't cunts. They're trying everything in their locker to buy the best striker in the world to benefit their club. We'll be trying everything we can to keep him. It's football.

Club tweeting out the Isak pic this morning was definitely done with malice

as above

£120m? Need atleast £30m more

Surely the club just keeps same stance? Not for sale off you trot

Trafford not linked for 3 days

Already clubs willing to pay higher? Yet not willing enough to bid. Trying to squeeze the last few mill out of us but i think it gets done.
