STM Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 The only thing this deal has going for it, is the fact no fucker wants him. Was the same with Isak TBF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 1 minute ago, Keegans Export said: I don't know enough about "ball" or Sesko specifically but it's definitely the sort of deal we need to do. We've tried going head-to-head for Delap, Mbeumo, Ekitike and it hasn't paid off so it's time to go back to what has served us well in the past - trust our scouts, trust Eddie's coaching and make the move while rivals hesitate. Whether that is Sesko or someone else doesn't matter, that has to be the blueprint. Indeed, whilst I admire the boldness of our ambition to rival the top clubs for their targets such as the names you mentioned, ultimately it's failed and we would be far better off pursuing targets such as Sesko, talented, fairly high reputation players which others are hesitating on. We signed Botman, Isak and Bruno under those exact conditions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyBlanco Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 Im painting in fairly broad strokes here but I can’t help but think, in the prem at least, he is either gunna be another Isak or Timo Werner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 (edited) Sounds very similar to Isak when we signed him bags of potential but still unproven- different type of player mind. Edited July 25, 2025 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume this one is tricky because you'd assume the guy he'd be replacing is still here. Wissa would be the rotation/backup regardless so no excuse on that one.

HawK Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 I'd prefer Toney & Sesko rather than Wissa & Sesko, but getting Wissa/Toney + Sesko for £100m I think is good business if Isak is going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toney would have to take a massive pay cut and pay a massive tax bill. Total none starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 I feel the club sees Sesko as the priority now, and intention is still to have two top strikers. Isak remains, that’s the plan. Isak leaves, we go back in for Wissa at end of window, or if he’s moved on elsewhere, target someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't say it's out of the realms of possibility. He might want to come back to play in the PL, he might want to prove himself at Newcastle after all those loans out, he might not fancy it in Saudi after a season there, he might want to push for the England squad and playing in the PL would help that. I don't think you can rule anything out without exploring the basics first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 If we get him he will surely play behind wissa in the deepspace 9 position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
