Had to stop that video and couldn’t watch it, Ambrose talking sense but the presenter angling for a negative slant with his “really? You telling me out of all of those players they’ll all welcome him back” then following with his “even after he’s said to them all nah mate I want to go” then his “but isn’t it too awkward for the fans”. He was really wanting something to latch onto.

The sensible thing for them and both clubs perhaps is to wait for our bid to be accepted then come in with the same bid and let the player decide with both clubs sticking to our guns and not allows bidding war as this is clearly what leipzig wants.

I read somewhere from our side their asking for a hefty sell on clause and we’re refusing what they’re asking but it didn’t say what that it is just insinuated it’s higher than your normal sell on. Also from Man U they really want hojiland in return but he so doesn’t want to go.

Crappy tabloids quoting they want a sell clause, not surprising with how much we’ve upped isak (among others) values.

They turned the same bid down from Arsenal as well I believe, made a gentleman’s agreement with him they’d let him leave apparently but actions seem to be proving otherwise.

Yep agreed - if he ends up missing out on both Arsenal and us because of shenanigans then that’s on him, his club and his camp. For once let us walk away strong and draw the line in the sand, make it be known a little more for the club who receives our offer that we have a limit.

Chelsea’s proven you need half a dozen strikers these days, it’s the future - we’d still need Watkins and draft DCL in for me as well as these three.

Without a doubt

To be fair we’ve not won a pre season friendly either, means nothing.

You ok?

Bearing in mind his agent apparently has form for this and correct me if I’m wrong but did this with Arsenal (honestly just read this somewhere so may be wrong).

No it’s because of his background with Eddie Howe for me. Not following his career I personally didn’t know this, he drilled his thoughts on Howe home so much as well as his time with Pope, he’ll obviously know Livramento and will obviously be a great fit. A bit more of this Injected around the place at the moment has to be a good thing. When asked about the CL he pretty much even said “yeah that’ll be nice but it’s not why I chose to come here”.

Given any choice he’s not picking us I reckon as apparently he’s never hidden this b, only way he comes to us imo is if there’s no choice.

I think it was lower than what they always said they wanted

Of course their going to think that -less than one day of the first official bid it gets reported we’ve given the player what it takes for an instant yes and gone all in as well as finally not low balling to get a deal done. If this was say Brentford with a striker we’d all be saying Wissa is pretty much ours it seems.

Seems the statement was enough to make Man U back off though

Villa said he’s not for sale I believe, you know like we should have done at the start

Don’t do that mate - he hasn’t yet and we both stand a chance to get him so just wait.

Bastard!!! I want him as well

He supports them apparently and knows their manager, I believe he also knows and has spoke to a few of their players last few days. Just what I’ve read online so may be bs.

Wtf is it with you’ve now quoted that “you must be a scouser” shite a few times already this morning just because they have a different opinion, it’s a forum ffs.

Yeah, what I meant was I think there’s probably an agreement so Isak doesn’t blame Howe for offers being turned down, doesn’t blur the lines for Howe if he can repair anything.

Totally agree and those saying they’re willing to forget, not me. Watching this video I believe the owners have said we’ll be the bad guys in this and turn offers down etc so you can try and work on your relationship with Isak.

Negative for me - prepare for the worst and hope to be surprised by the best plus right now I have no confidence in whoever’s doing these deals for us. I believe we still have to get passed the club yet don’t we?

Nobody knows what the budget is so hopefully you’re right but we’re acting like we’re skint.
