Yes they can. Just because they bid £110m doesn’t mean they can’t afford more. 
 

Keith downie reckons if we sign Sesko we’ll sell Isak. 

 

We knew the probable outcome of Sesko that's why we bid for him and we still emphatically said no, he's not going to the bin dippers

Just as much of a chance we get a "Here we go!".

 

Going to be a wild ride either way

They’ve spent ~£130m already without any sales, so that tracks.

Believe Man U are trying to lend them Hojland for a year to sweaten the deal.

Not RB’s model at all to develop someone else’s talented players. They’ve likely already got better young players in their sights or on their books.

I’d hope that’s right as much as anyone I just can’t see it. If we sign Sesko I predict Isak will be gone within a week

From a logical point of view I think those in the know already know where the Sesko deal is at like I mentioned and didn't even open discussions with Liverpool, no counter offer, just a straight, flat out NO and to go into a new season with 2 raw talents and unproven ability at this level would be suicide, if we go back in for Wissa or someone of similar ilk I might change my stance, but I don't think Isak is allowed to leave just off the back of Sesko.

Well in all likelihood he has a fifty percent chance of being right. I actually don’t think we need to (financially). Having them both for a season would be ok (financially) assuming we sell big (probs Isak, but at this point nothing would surprise me) next summer. Having them both football wise would be like a Shearer and Ferdinand flashback. “Shall we do out and destroy them today, Ben?”

“Yes, we shall, Alex”. 
They’ll make the call based on a range of things primarily, I think, and assuming selling him for an acceptable amount becomes an option, the good of the team. If we could only buy quality in CB and CM positions by selling him and bringing in a cheaper option like Wissa then I think that would be, on the whole, the best bet for the club.

If we could still sign quality in CB and CM and keep Isak (risk him going to shit or getting crocked—yes I do mean in training) then even better. Barca can have him next summer for £130, 000, 000. 

[Dokko]

80+50 (next season) plus addons rumoured to be heading our way should Sesko say aye.

 

Reckon 80+50+30, over the 3 seasons does it. 

 

If we can get Sesko, Wissa and a cb for Isak, I think we're a better outfit for it.

Plus a midfielder.

Well we should have plenty in the tank from the original budget for other areas.

Rumoured by whom?

[OverThere]

No way you let Isak go even if this guy signs. When we do sell, it needs to be on our schedule and to an overseas club. No way do we assist in any way those bin dipping cnuts.

Think we have the cash to afford it but would just need a big sale to satisfy PSR, but Garnacho will definitely go. We could sign him now with no issues.

 

Really hope we don't spend that sort of money on another young striker who'll feel ridiculous pressure to perform. The best move for him is Newcastle. 

 

We can get DCL in then use the money to terminate Onana's contract. 

[1964]

If Sesko comes in Isak goes, I doubt Sesko would come to be second choice.

Romano in his latest video (uploaded 20 mins ago) says nothing has changed… player still hasn’t decided and Man Utd still working on it too.

 

He also says we told Leipzig what we were willing to pay a week ago, so (according to him) our “bid” has been known for a week.

One thing that’s changed being the official bid Newcastle lodge but aye, all the same.

Not according to him. He says the bid isn’t “new”… we’ve told them for the past week that we’re willing to pay whatever the asking price is.

[David Edgar]

People need to stop reading Ray Romano. He's a mouthpiece who is paid to spin a narrative. Essentially another level of Sky Sports News. A complete waste of air.

Surely saying "willing to pay" isnt the same as an official bid ?

I keep seeing Downie’s name in the thread title and my mind immediately changes it to down as in turned down.

Downie and Hope. Some names for this summer.

If the bid was there a week ago why did he play in their friendly a week ago but miss this one

Liverpool were willing to pay 120m for Isak, but bid 110m. So obviously not the same😅
