He has to go

@Emotic @AyeDubbleYoo we could, but he wants to go to Juve. We shouldn't waste more time trying to sign players who have their heart set on a move elsewhere.

Muani won't happen. He's going to Juve and already turned down Spurs. Samu and Wissa would be an exciting attack.

Apparently Everton are going to make a move for Hayden Hackney. Boro already accepted a £20M bid from Ipswich but he turned them down. He'd be a great back up for Tonali.

A major reason is because we're really likely to sign Wissa. If we also got Jackson we'd be left playing Osula and Gordon during AFCON.

Wtf is an important fee. They paid €37M, surely £60M would be enough.

All the deals for potential strikers look really hard to do. Brentford haven't got a replacement for Wissa PSG don't really want to sell Ramos Woltemade probably only wants to join Bayern I hate the idea of ending up with Jackson and DCL.

I don't think they could've done more. They just need to move on to the next person on the list. If we can't get someone like Ramos from PSG then we'll just have to plan for Isak staying. Which is less than ideal.

I'm just glad it looks like we'll know either way today.

You'd hope that if a deal isn't done today they'll move on.

Yeah, he does one with his son, who is also in football media.

He definitely does Norwegian tv and works for ESPN in USA.

Engagement...monetization

He's probably making a lot of money, but in terms of facts and being correct he's not having a good window.

Still think he ends up at Man U.

Pretty sure the reason we bid that was because Wissa believed he had an agreement that he could leave for that fee.

@sushimonster85 Villa

You'd imagine Woltemade will wait for Bayern.

Muniz is really good. If Isak leaves and we end up with Muniz, Wissa, 2 CM and an elite rcb, I'd be ok with it.

They definitely have pull, but it isn't anywhere near as strong as it was in the 00's.

Ramsdale and Jackson would be awful business.

Most people were saying he's about to be cleared.

Reading on Twitter that Lucas Paquetá is available for £25M. That's a no brainer.

The next 2 weeks are going to be pivotal to next season. Craig Hope points out what a mess there is behind the scenes. So the lack of CEO and sporting director needs addressing. I don't think keeping Isak is an option. Being hard on Liverpool is our only option. Getting the money we want for Isak (135+) and in a time frame that allows us to spend the fee well. Isak is a great player, but this is a real opportunity to use the Isak money to build a deep squad. Replacement striker, midfielder and RCB would all help playing 2 or 3 games a week.
