Benjamin Šeško (playing for Man United)

[Mattoon]

Assuming the reports are true and he favours a move to that North West travelling circus over a progressive coach who can get the most out of your game and the promise of Champions League football then he's really very thick

[McCormick]

Of course Man Utd are interested. Can we just wait till all of these fuckers fill their boots and then go big on whoever’s left? Feels like déjà vu; linked, hyped, and then he vanishes to the usual cartel suspects. Had enough.

[The Prophet]

I've not really been keeping track of this one. Does it seem like we're seriously in for him or is it just the usual agent using our name routine?

Sesko's next move is massive. He needs the right coach and the right environment to take the next step. If he goes to Man United, he's a fucking moron.

Not sure. I think mini Howe has a video game tournament this coming week anyway. 

[TRon]

If he prefers a move to Man U then I assume it's just going to be another case of giving it our best shot and hoping for the best. Even without CL they are a much bigger name for most players, and can probably offer a bigger salary for that matter. 

 

If he goes there then we probably hold onto Isak and double down on Wissa. 

[southernmag]

Footballers are dumb, and greedy, and PSR's a crock, and so on. That's exactly why we have to be super smart and super efficient in how we operate. If we're not, these challenging realities will continually thwart us.

 

It seems we need to target the 10% of players not readily romanced by the clout of the cartel. Is Sesko one of those players? Guess we'll find that out.

Tbf i am not that impressed from the highlights i have seen. Seems a massive gamble if we pay 60+ million for him.

We are a bit of a circus ourself at the moment.

[Mattoon]

His ego and his agents wallet will be convincing him he can lead the line at Man Utd and bring them back to glory, but the truth is he's still only 22 and raw and needs cultivating, Howe will turn him into a machine, Manchester Circus will ruin him.

[TRC]

Hopefully PIF can buy Anthony to fund us missing out on him

Think we are, but don’t think he has any intention of joining.

He's clearly talented and can finish, but not sure it will translate to the PL. Not sure how he's allegedly making huge salary demands on the back of that.

Its not, but with no people in charge we look a little bit amateurish.

His agents will be telling him he can earn 250k per week while we will offer 150k per week. We can call it daft from a footballing point of view but that’s the fact unfortunately. Football is cutthroat, players more often than not move for financial reasons.

I'd say more of a rudderless ship than a travelling circus, ours is an easier and quicker fix, there's something fundamentally wrong with them.

[HayDen Traces]

We were never signing Sesko. Can't even get mad about this one

[southernmag]

But also, in defense of some of these players choosing big clubs over us, they understandably would want to see that we can offer them things that compensate for our lack of spending power/trophy winning (cup win notwithstanding) - they want to see ambition, a well run club, great transfers being made. They can see our club's in a suboptimal state at the moment, which will make us less appealing. That's something we can't blame on these players - our club has to take responsibility for that, and present itself as a club that means serious business in the areas that matter.

 

TLDR; if Sesko goes to Man Utd I won't entirely think he's an idiot, just mostly.

Some days I get to the feeling that back to back trebles would still have players choosing other clubs over us because of the “immense history” /ludicrous wages.

Its like CL never happened. Doesnt benefit us much.

 

Beginning to think some of these players may not be as familiar with Newcastle United and so go on social media and forums to learn more and see endless posts about how poorly run the club is, how the club can't sign players, how players will inevitably go elsewhere etc etc etc and so they opt out immediately!

So you think it benefit us much?

The thing that annoys me about him going there is that we will end up with Wissa and DCL as our strikers next season. Which is an absolute scandal.

Wissa OR DCL, surely. If we got both as our Isak/Wilson replacement I think people would riot.

His nephew is that incompetent though, from what we’ve seen so far.
