Inclined to believe Ornstein on this one. Seems he edited his original tweet to include the fact we want to play him alongside Isak which makes me think his source is closer to the club. 

Laurens didn’t need to do any editing. He was correct first time.

Everyone else had already reported it tbf. He is probably right though, he usually is. Only thing that confuses me is he’s saying deal not close and they want 75 million, yet Romano said we bid 70. Surely that’s pretty close ?

I wouldn’t read anything into ‘not close’. It could mean we’re nowhere near on the fee but it could mean that the deal is in its very early stages. I think the best way to interpret it is not to expect a ‘HERE WE GO’ in the next day or two.

Where's the fun in winning a club's 21st title when you could help a club win their first in 100 years? Wish more players had this mentality man, you don't get title winners and European cup winners for what they've historically achieved.

Aye if their interest is solid we'd unfortunately not be his choice. 

 

I feel like after yesterday's excitement, this needs to be done fast if we're to have a chance of completing it.

Which is fine, we can't be dwelling on players who aren't interested in coming. 

 

Hopefully this doesn't drag on and is concluded either way soon.

Despite many good things happening to us in the past 4 years or so, I still can't comprehend a world where Newcastle would have both Ekitike and Isak in the same squad. I refuse to believe it's true, this must be the agents using us to smoke out Liverpool or whoever.

 

Call it bedwetting or Ashley era trauma if you want

Don’t want to get my hopes up. Good player if we can get it done, and interesting from a tactically perspective.

 

However a lot of money when we have several areas needing reinforcements. 
 

Anyway, I trust the club and their decision, they have earned it.

Nunez and £100m for Isak, then sign this fella and have £30m to spend elsewhere? 

 

Nah, let Liverpool solve their own problems. We finished above them two seasons ago and hammered them in the Carabao final.

 

I'd give Ekitike a five-minute presentation showing the progress made by every high profile signing we've made vs. the "progress" made by Nunez at Liverpool. Add in Liverpool's fans' opinions on Nunez (and Trent, and now Konate) and tell Ekitike that could be him.
