Benjamin Šeško (playing for Man United)

[SUPERTOON]

Would think Downie’s sources would be sky Germany, not sure if reliable or not.

Messing around from agent and club is what made Arsenal turn to Gyokeres. I assume they will do so again because one of us will be desperate by deadline.

I'd like to propose a shorter transfer window for the trad top six. Say the rest of the league have a month at the end of the window, where they can trade freely amongst themselves. 

 

Cunts. 

I’d suggest you can only buy 3 players per window maximum.

Wait till you find out how much RS will receive if we sold Isak for £150m+

its 10% over 70m. Been reported already.

He’ll go to Man U for less than we’ve offered.

7-31 business days, take it or leave it. 

[Sibierski]

It won’t. Guy isn’t sold on joining us and trying to get Man Utd to make their offer. 
 

It’s all a waste of time. Just so many red flags around this player, move on. 

[midds]

Clubs sorting out a deal means nothing if he's not prepared to play for Newcastle tbh. Leipzig aren't the major issue here, sure they want their pound of flesh, but if the player wants to go to Man U then we're fucked regardless tbph. It's unpalatable but it's also the reality. It's murky as fuck man

He’ll go to Man Utd later in the window for same as what we’ve offered up front.

 

Ill be happy as the less dodgy agents in our henhouse the better going forward.

Patently? That's a new one.

[Kanj]

I am still cautiously optimistic on this one. The fact we’re still in talks is good news to me. Have to have some hope.

Wasn’t the whole point of this is that the player has agreed personal terms before we officially bid?

Unless all the shite about terms agreed (reported en masse) and that he's down for NUFC (Slovenian National Newspaper) is untrue, I doubt this is the case.

 

I don't think it's that murky, just agents and club negotiating for more and likely waiting to see if Manure will pony up too.

I think it's worth considering, that even if the deal is actually close the incentive for journalists is to make it seem as uncertain is possible. The moment somebody posts "deal almost done, player wants Newcastle," all those sweet, sweet ManU fan clicks you're getting evaporate and the story dies out. You want to keep speculating as if ManU can jump in at any moment until you are forced to reckon with indisputable facts. (i.e. bid formally accepted, personal terms agreed). At that point, your incentives shift as you want to be the one who gets credit for reporting that first.

 

All of this is to say, can we get off fucking panic stations please.

It's just the old good-cop/bad-cop routine. One journalist says something with a negative spin to get fans rage clicking, another puts a different spin on it to pull in the positive engagement. 

 

It's boring as fuck tbh. 

[STM]

What gives me hope is that there doesn't seem to be anything from the MU end to suggest they will make a serious bid, its all "still at the table" nonsense.

Every transfer is a five act play. Even the Elanga deal was “in jeopardy”. 
 

having said that, we have actually missed out on most of our targets. So it isn’t all manufactured.

Payment terms being discussed? To repeat myself, just give them a huge suitcase of money, all of it. 

 

That's like me offering to spread out payments at the burger van. I got the shit in my wallet.

A player can agree terms with what’s offered but not agree to join. Like wages etc are fine, but he’s undecided on joining, that’s been made abundantly clear.

Basically, we've asked if we can pay via Klarna, and they're proposing Paypal pay in 3, so it's horses for courses.

Almost guaranteed to get resolved quickly,  given our track record ....
