Man U have to sell to buy though

Feels they’re gambling on getting UCL, Rashford money will come next summer and they’ll get the top fees they expect for Sancho / Antony / Garnacho. All don’t happen, there’s going to be an almighty fire sale end of season, especially if they have to sack Amorim and his coaches mid season.

 

It will be lapped up by their fans, but they need to be wary at what Ratcliffe is doing. It’s near reckless stuff and his track record is horrific.

If history is anything to go by Rashford will be amazing for 4 months then go missing for the rest of the season. Man Utd can't rely on that money

I still think we try for him as he can be Isaks replacement when he goes next season

 

Hope not. Think he's a huge gamble and seems to have an even bigger dickhead agent than Isak.

Subtext: Sesko will take his time on advice of his agent while be tries to squeeze every last penny out of all involved.

I’m convinced we’re not actually in for him

Not so sure Man Utd are either. Maybe they are doing everything they can to prevent Liverpool from getting Isak.

Has it ever been corroborated by any of the locals?

Don’t feel like any of the stuff about meeting Leipzig’s demands etc has been. I don’t doubt we’ve made contact and explored a deal but actually planning to go for him and submit a bid, especially one we think would be accepted I really doubt

They clearly see as Isak's replacement - if he plays for a year whilst Isak goes it lays the foundation for next year

Slovenian football star Benjamin Šeško has finally made a decision. As informed sources have learned, he will continue his sporting career with Newcastle United. This is how the transfer saga that dragged on for several months has unfolded. After being linked with Arsenal for a long time, who ultimately decided to sign excellent Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres instead of Šeško, and after Manchester United warmed up for the 22-year-old Radečan a few days ago, the battle for our national team was finally won by the management of Newcastle United. It is not yet known how much compensation RB Leipzig, to which Šeško transferred from Salzburg the year before last, will receive for him. Experts estimate that the sum ranges from 70 to 80 million euros.

500 followers, good one.

Suppose he's only linking to a website, so depends on how shitty the website is.

Liverpool might be paying his agent a £5m bung to go to Newcastle so we will sell them Isak.

It’s a local Slovenian journalist. He’s not likely to have many followers

Delo is a reliable source, so

Usually I wouldn't indulge, but when it's a Slovenian journalist writing for a reputable Slovenian outlet it seems sensible to share.

Delo is one of Slovenia’s most established and respected daily newspapers and widely regarded as a trustworthy source of news in Slovenia.

 

So might, just might, be something in this.

Wow if true.

[Anderson]

Man, imagine Isak stays and this lad signs...

 

 

... sadly my immediate reaction, if that's legit, would be that it'll just reignite the Isak saga.

[Bunk Moreland]

Would be quite funny and almost heart-warming if a Slovenian paper got the jump on all the big transfer "journalists" who've been milking the story

[Shadow Puppets]

This all seems very much bollocks, but I’ll take it.

That would be the power move from our side. I'm not believing we've got Sesko though, would have to delete all my Nazi references. 

[bobbydazzla]

Hey Ho, Sesko 
Hey Ho, Lets Go
Hey Ho, Sesko
Hey Ho, Lets Go

They're forming in a straight line
They're goin through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds 
The Sesko Bop
They're piling in the backseat
They're generation steam heat
Pulsating to the back seat
The Sesko Bop

Hey Ho Sesko
Shoot em' in the back now
What they want, I don't know
They're all reved up and ready to go

[Yorkie]

Hope it's true, would be a very exciting signing. Losing Isak is obviously a massive blow but the squad definitely needs a bit of a refresh; we already saw it going stale last year. You'd be expecting an unreasonable amount from Howe to keep it fresh yet again. 

 

Isak, Wissa and Almiron to Sesko, Wissa and Elanga is a fair shake-up.
