Hanging my hat on the Slovenian article too

 

The timing seems too coincidental for there not to be something those Slovenian reports, especially as the bid could have gone in yesterday (Ornstein said "last 24 hours"). 

[SUPERTOON]

We have been in talks with his agent for over two weeks, we haven’t randomly just decided to put an offer in now 

[TK-421]

Gotta keep saying Man Utd can still buy him if they want.

 

Unthinkable that we might sign a player ahead of a competing cartel club.

This makes zero sense, why wouldn't we have bid a week ago in that case?

When has our transfer dealings for past 12 months made any sense? We bid £25m for fucking Wissa.

And if that was "always the plan", why wait until Keith Downie has reported a bid to tell us?

That's the right price.

Pedro?

[duo]

Don't Man U still need a keeper as well?  They've not the cash atm

[Kid Icarus]

There's just as good a chance he's been briefed that there is he's covering his arse imo. It still has the feel of us being used.

Would say it has better areas with real high end houses. Really we should be using Northumberland, Corbridge and Hexham more for that.

Not to mention glamorous Ebchester… 

Once home to one Darren Ambrose.

Yea, he’s not joining if Man Utd gamble and match our price. 

 

Nah, this guy is changing the whole narrative.

 

The past week we've been told both clubs were talking to his reps and presenting their project, and once he gave the go ahead then a bid would go in.

 

God ... these journalists are a complete and utter joke.

Aye it could all be a rouse to get man united to offer, I'm fine either way tbh. 

 

Think he will be cracking under Eddie but I don't see him here in 3 years time even if we get him

 

Agent hawks him around like nobodies business.

Unless you know who is panicking. 

[Tiotes Witch Doctor]

Man Utd will offer him double the wages and he'll go there, I can't see any other outcome tbh, unless Man Utd can't afford the deal, no doubt they'll find the money from somewhere though, they're untouchable.

I bet all they do is ask Chat GP and post whatever it replies

[kingxlnc]

Looking at the reporting it’s so clear there’s an agenda and everyone hates us

 

Crude example but the way any good news gets belittled is like an activist coming on and saying free Palestine

 

the big 6 have a Israel like stranglehold of the media 

India is the same in cricket

 

shows how much money talks

Having had the misfortune to meet Jacobs years ago, I’d agree with the joke statement. Cos-playing a journalist.

[Displayname]

Would be a hell of a concident if this bid came in just after the most credible piece of journalism ever written came out yesterday saying he wanted us.

[Skeletor]

Almost like the Slovenian media knew something about their biggest player or something.

I don't think anyone hates us honestly I think nobody cares about us though. 

 

Cartel fans give much higher engagement which gets losers like Ben paid. 

[Hanshithispantz]

I'm choosing to believe the Slovenian journalist had spoken to some friend or relation of Sesko back home, who'd showed them texts of the big man in a toon top. Hence the article.

 

Everything's completed verbally, and we've now formally bid what we know will be accepted. Transfer will be done today and officially announced a week Friday.

[Stifler]

Take no notice of Ben Jacobs, he’s paid by Qatar to slate us and Man City.

[midds]

 

[Lordshola]

So it was reported in Slovenia overnight that Sesko has chosen Newcastle United.

 

Then this morning we get the reports of Newcastle United making a bid in the last 24 hours.

 

coincidence?
