we are continuing to talk to Brentford about Wissa as Wilson’s replacement 

 

Liverpool can and will afford him when Nunez is sold.
 

Most importantly we need a centre half and a midfielder we likely can’t afford €90 euros on a Wilson replacement. We are using the Isak money is my theory 

 

he could will turn round and sign a new contract but I doubt it and I think that’s why the club are going so hard at trying to bring Šeško in 

 

Exactly, the idea that we will end the window with Sesko and Isak is fanciful, the only way that happens is if Liverpool don't even get close to our asking price and only then might we wait until next summer.

[Heron]

Surely Sesko and Isak, or a front 3 of them and Elanga or Gordon is one of the best around?

[STM]

Just now, gdm said:

They are already setting their narrative out that the money is soo much for Šeško he’s not worth that and that’s only reason he’s (potentially) going to us 

 

Which is exactly what we would do, however we also have the right to say weve bent them over a barrel and outmuscled them.

It would be but Isak doesn’t want to be a part of it

It will be one of Isak or Sesko and hopefully Wissa as our other option.

[ponsaelius]

Feels like an overpay. Surely we can't sell Isak for less than 150 if this is what we're dropping on his replacement.

In theory, we could spend now and hold onto him until the 2026 PSR deadline. Not that I think we would like.

[Mazzy]

I don't think we can afford Sesko, Guehi and another CM without selling Isak.

 

Sesko In and Isak Out is the only logical thing that can happen.

[Heron]

If Liverpool cannot afford Isak - what is fanciful about it?

True. I think EH probably thinks it’s best he’s gone 

[Palestoon]

Not that I disagree. I think we're selling Isak if Sesko comes in.

 

I just dont understand why we dont sit Isak down, tell him he's staying for another season, heres a bumper contract. He can link up with another great striker on the books and attack this champions league season. Or he can sulk around and go next summer on his current wage.

 

What are the terrible downsides to this scenario? I can think of many upsides

I think that we are almost certainly going to sell Isak by next summer, so PSR shouldn't be an issue.

Liverpool will find the pennies behind the sofa, dont you worry.

 

There's always a possibility of them hoying a player into the deal, or some easy to achieve add ons to make up the difference.

 

They know they can't pass up Isak.

[Heron]

Question...how much money did we make last season? Or more pertinently...how much do we allegedly have?

 

Haven't we only spent like £50m?

 

I know... "only"

How about Sesko and Guehi..... Villa style loan for the CM or Hall style loan with obligation ?

They can absolutely afford him like. PSR expert on Talksport the other day estimated they could spend £400m this summer with no issue and no need to sell.

 

Whether they’re willing to match whatever our asking price is, though, I don’t know.

If we sign Sesko, you will see a fair bit more positivity around the place. Even with Isak saga going on, Elanga, Ramsdale and Sesko is at least getting somewhere.

Signing Sesko may actually demonstrate some ambition from the owners which may help to appease Isak - who knows.

or.....and hear me out here....we could just spend what we need to spend and sell Isak next summer to balance the books to anyone else but the scouse bin dipping scum, we dont have to make the money first, we dont have a cash flow problem.

 

I don't know enough about our PSR situation. Presuming we sign Sesko, can we still chase the same targets this summer for the midfield and centre of defence without selling Isak or having to sell him before the PSR deadline next year?

Wouldn't the issue there be that teams would know we need to offload by the PSR deadline so could low ball ? Alternatively he has another good season and Barce, PSG etc enter the race.

 

Edit.... I had Isak down as leaving next summer as well.

Doesn't 150m potentially give us ~450m to spend because of amortisation and the 3 year rolling psr thing?

Quite a different profile to Isak and Ekitike. Don’t get me wrong, he'll drop in and link up, but he's much more of a conventional centre forward.

He can play as a 10 - I think he'll be a great foil for Isak

They weren't nearly as keen to assign the Isak replacement designation to Joao Pedro or Ekitike before the Liverpool attempts at Isak.

I love your optimism, but that’s not what’s happening here.

Is that a fact though? Like, would they not need to sell to buy (which is obviously, also feasible).

 

I'm not so sure Iska remaining here at least until January is all that unlikely.
