GallowgatePigeon Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 Yep, I'm getting seriously fucking sick of this guy now. For the sake of my own sanity, if he's not on his way here by the weekend, I'll assume we're missing out on him and I'll find another transfer link to lose my mind to.

KingArthur Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 Tbh we really have no idea what is going on. Frankfurt may delay the deal and hope for more money. Hopefully we move on with CB and GK meanwhile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 He's going to choose Liverpool if it comes down to us or them, which is why I'd prefer we just force the issue by bidding the release clause or as close as we can stretch then see the reaction. At least that way we can walk away asap if necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like him but retaining Isak is the season-defining thing. As long as that happens the window is all good. If we keep Isak with no more incomings the window is all good?

He breaks down and we’re relying on Will Osula to shoot us to glory. Keep Isak, use the funds earmarked for Ekitike to take care of other positions. Buy a lower cost back up.

SUPERTOON Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 You would hope at this stage, we know his preference and have acted accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 I’m clinging onto the hope that Trafford / CB deals are there ready to click go, but we’re not as we are seeing what cost striker signing will be (Pedro now Etikike). Once that’s concluded, hopefully if to no deal, we quickly wrap up the GK / CB, then know what targets we need to move onto for our remaining money for the striker option. Because a £20m-£30m striker option will be hugely different to the £60m+ ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably will play more minutes if he joins Liverpool? Against good sides we probably often need to play 3 in midfield.

Say if we splash 100m on Ekitike, got him, marvellous, and then? No way we would let him sit on the bench and so we are definitely going to change to 4-4-2. Would that work? That’s really a big change to our system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could go with Ekitike as a 10 in a 4-2-3-1, go narrow in a 4-3-2-1, a few 5 at the back systems with Hall and Livramento providing the width. Plenty we could do with a versatile forward at our disposal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 (edited) Be some melt down in the media if he signs for us.

Shadow Puppets Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 What we need to do is sign Ekitike asap, and then in the announcement video, Isak does a long drawn out emotional farewell… … to his number 14 shirt… … passing it over to Hugo… … only for it to be revealed when the camera pans out that Alex is in the number 9 shirt. Number 9 and Number 14 stand next to each other… … dramatic music… … They both turn to camera, smile… … and say in unison “You Never Walk Alone”… Cut to black. And scene! Really shove it down Liverpools throat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
