So could have used a square number like 70m or some nominal annual increases to get that 70m that was reported. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 You’re not some plucky little upstart club, Leipzig. Fuck your sell on clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 It's smart wording from Ornstein though. He implies our bid has been rejected without actually saying as much. He doesn't give specifics on what Leipzig are after or whether we're still at the table. He also vaguely keeps Man United in the conversation. It's a masterclass in covering all bases.

I remember the fee and the wages coming down significantly last minute causing us to pivot from Pedro. Isak’s wage demands along halved from £250kpw to £125kpw. Fee with add ons was around £63m I believe but who ever knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelveys Hair Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 Man Utd tried to offer Højlund + cash but he wants to stay there. They need to sell I would imagine, probably waiting on Garnacho. If we have offered what they want then the problem can only be how it is structured. A bit of a fuck on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 Slightly off topic but if this is the future of transfer windows with Hollywood/American influences then I’m already dreading January when the Cartel need to top up their squads with little consequence to other teams.

You let a bunch of rich people infest your game and the powers that be did nowt about it because they infested the right teams or the investors were from the right countries. You didn't nip it in the bud and so now you've got an oligarchy They weren't American until recently. You've been doing this rich clubs do what they want shit for 50 years. No one knew what the fuck a Liverpool was in America 50 years ago. Damned if we're carrying the bag here lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted August 2, 2025 Share Posted August 2, 2025 The difference with isak and his sell on clause was sociedad dropped there asking price so we allowed it. These fuckers want a bucket load of cash and a sell on greedy bastards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the reporters tweeting incessantly are even American. This ain't us. The Isak bid has gotten more tweets than the Luka trade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a college system here, you're free to worry about other aspects of Americanizing of the sport but that one isn't really something that is going to happen.
