Andy84 Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 If at the start of this week it was released that Liverpool were advancing on Ekitike without all the Isak stuff no one would have batted an eyelid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 34 minutes ago, KennyUtd said: I hope Ekitike has a thick skin because the reception that awaits him at SJP could be fkn brutal. Not unreasonable to suggest he's been used as a decoy twice by us if we rock up with a new signing after missing out on him again. He picked Messi/Neymar/Mbappe PSG and starting at Liverpool over whatever we had in mind. Not mad at him x2. Fuck Liverpool and their fans obviously and the English sports media. Hope he does well but we do better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 They’ll probably be great but Liverpool dropping 200m on Bundesliga players isn’t without risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just stink at getting deals done quickly and discreetly. Allowing one of the cartel clubs to swoop in and do whatever they like once we've laid the groundwork. You can't get a deal of that magnitude done 'discreetly'. His agent alone would be all over it to drum up interest and get as much money as possible.

Going out tonight for some beers so tomorrow I'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Toon Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 Reeks of us being used by agents or whatever to drum up business/a price tag with us just keeping quiet to let other clubs waste their money on targets that aren't ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Tbf, both times we've been in, we've been up against the world's biggest teams in PSG and now Liverpool. If those sort of teams weren't jumping in, he'd probably be a Newcastle player by now.

Buying a cheaper forward could mean spending more at CB or midfield. Either way we'll be improved come September. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novocastrian Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 If we are going to low ball every offer it’s going to be a long summer. I get the negotiation bit but when targets are in high demand from multiple suitors you’ve got to move quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
