Their daily Transfer show on SSN is awful 

 

Oh aye, I don't think there's been a day where they haven't mentioned Isak to bastard Arsenal!

We also offered nowhere near that amount if you believe Howe. Which in this case I do. £70m was the upper end of what Palace were asking for. 

 

The Athletic later reported that we pulled out at £55 million a couple of weeks before the window shut.

To be fair there isn't anything to talk about other than Rashford and Walker.

Exactly why Sky will now be filling their metaphorical pants....nothing to get anyone watching and are probably watching their bank balance falling by the second.

 

A situation they helped create coming back to bite them on the arse...and no doubt they'll be the first to push change to help their 6 back up and running

Compared to subscriptions and game break advertising I’m not convinced SSN is the golden egg laying goose like. 

[Colos Short and Curlies]

I think Sky would be more worried with the lack of transfers in that it will result in fewer 'names' being signed from abroad as they have no resale value once they hit 26/27 which makes the league less marketable overall. 

 

And then social media takes over and Tik Tok becomes the primary medium for consumption of output

I'll bet we are glad we did now. Spending that sort of money on a centre back is looking increasingly dubious as the PSR shackles kick in. It would have prevented us spending money for a long time on other areas without selling key players.

 

The transfer market is well and truly bunged up thanks to PSR. Transfer fees will be on a downward trend in this country at least.

And there's today's mention 

 

Do these utter fools not realise that if he does move, it'll be to a far bigger club than Arsenal FFS.

Arsenal with Isak would be very good.

I'm not as convinced about this as some of you. They challenge for the title (poorly, ok) and are in the CL every year. There's no real reason why Isak wouldn't go there for the right money.

 

They can't afford him though, so it's moot.

[Kimbo]

For all the Isak talk it’s Sesko they went for in the summer, and I expect them to go for him again. I suppose it’s not a rumour that creates as much engagement.

I agree that this is more likely. 

Imagine a world where PSR is removed. PIF finally wake up and are able to spend at will. We have a bigger ceiling than Arsenal - even if they are bigger right now. Saka is still very young. If Arteta gets binned, they could drop off a bit if they don't get his successor right. Meanwhile we have a strong English core, Gordon on the other flank, Tino behind him. Englands first choice left side and right side pairing for WC 2026. Jobs a good un.

Think that's what was meant. Isak has played himself into the bracket of players where there are only 2 or 3 clubs that could realistically sign him in the middle of a contract.

Sesko is within their budget, around £60m I think. Otherwise if they could get Isak for the same money they'd be all over it.

And if those two, I can't see Rashford going anywhere with the coin he's on

[Ben]

I feel so sorry for Rashford, poor bloke just wants to wake up in the morning, pull on a pair of boots and play football like he used to when he was a kid ....................................so long as he gets £350,000 a week.

Feel more sorry for Brexit Jim, who’s finding out that in football, unlike his other business ventures, he can’t just tell someone to do something and they have to jump.
