Dr Venkman Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 Why do so many assume that no Sesko deal means Isak is staying? There's almost a month to go until the transfer window closes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well let's wait until they do, because as it stands all they've offered is £110m, so the only thing I'm sorely tempted to do is tell them to stick it up their arse.

What's the point in holding him hostage. He's a little dick and we don't need him around the place. I'm pretty confident that the club had an inkling about this months ago too. We should have done so much more to get an adequate replacement sorted before this attempt at panic buying. We may have missed out on Sesko so the club might dig their heels in but the damage is done. Players and supporters pissed off with him. Get as much money as we can but get rid. Your logic is fine if Liverpool are willing to pay the asking price or even near the asking price. But you can't allow your best player and a rival PL club to unilaterally agree that a transfer can only take place to that club and allow that to artificially lower the price by £30m by taking out all competitive tension from the transfer process. In the same way, we cannot demand Wissa joins us for £15m because "he only wants Newcastle" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got just Wissa for example, there's no way we should let Isak go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might though, could see us moving for Ollie Watkins or Nicholas Jackson next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous Nick Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 I am pretty sure Liverpool wont make another bid until they have in writing that PIF does overpay them for Darwin "Flop" Nunez They bought him for 65m+20m addons from Benfica, flopped badly and still about to get 60m or so from PIF for him. fucking madness. what we should do is make Liverpool offer 150m for Isak then straight have another Saudi club offer the same. that way they cannot come with the related party shit and fair value as we have the same value bid so it must be fair value. only trouble would be to then push Isak to choose Saudi club, but I bet they can make him a salary offer several time better than Liverpool to make him think.

pubteam Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 Selling him to Liverpool feels like admitting we have no intentions of challenging for the league for the foreseeable.I just can’t get my head around why we would want to strengthen Liverpool. So many teams in the past have told bigger clubs to piss off when they come sniffing, it’s happened so many time to us. It’s only a few season ago that Liverpool were an absolute shambles. They win the league and they are suddenly billy big bollocks, cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We absolutely do not want to strengthen Liverpool. Where have you got that idea from? They've been one of Europe's bests for years under Klopp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 (edited) The closer we get to September, the more they'll panic. Ideally we get a signing in and tell them the price is fixed regardless of what he does or what Romano writes.

geordiesteve710 Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 (edited) If we don't sign at least one striker, arguably 2, he's not going anywhere this summer. He can be as pissed off as he wants about it, but there's no way he's thick enough to think that's an unreasonable stance for a professional football club (one that's qualified for the Champions League no less) to take.

geordiesteve710 Posted August 5, 2025 Share Posted August 5, 2025 Whilst we're all in doom and gloom mode, there's another (even worse) scenario that's been causing havoc in the back of my mind the last 2 days. It's not entirely impossible that there is some truth in the talk of a groin injury. Isak ends up staying with no replacement signed, no large fee banked and he either requires surgery or breaks down completely first game after the transfer window shuts. We end up with Osula and Gordon rotating at centre forward until January. Yep, I'm feeling like a proper ray of sunshine today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
