Totally relaxed about how it will turn out next after we have signed Woltemade.

I'm assuming we won't sell Isak without getting another striker in.

He scored 14 goals in a side that finished 16th, in today's market that does probably make him worth around £60m

I'm not sure this is even first-order thinking.

It said earlier that our latest bid had been accepted???

Really not in favour of it, even if 2 of them are trying to come here. It's really shit.

 

Also regarding JSL, I know he was on loan for a year but the ink's still wet on his permanent contract. Proper smelly behaviour.

Agree, but maybe on his end it was all signed last summer and the loan was just a PSR move to make it spread over 6 years.

Won't play for them this weekend and has told Wolves he wants to leave:

Sources tell Norwegian news-outlet Nettavisen that Newcastle aren't giving up on the signing:

https://www.nettavisen.no/sport/nettavisen-erfarer-newcastle-presser-pa-for-strand-larsen/s/5-95-2592316

 

Also says we envision Strand Larsen as a #9 and Woltemade as a #10.

 

Couldn't find any other relevant news posted in the last hour, though, so don't know if the statement about us having had a bid accepted is true or not

To be fair I think he does have a genuine injury. Was mentioned when he came off in their last league game. Was probably why he only came off the bench in the cup game. Just ask Joe Willock what a sore Achilles is like. 

[Kaizero]

Randomly enough, Jan Aage Fjørtoft appears 100% convinced a deal's been made  That and Downie making a big deal out of Woltemade getting #27 instead of #9 were the only things of note I was able to find on X about it from today.

I can’t see us going back in for this guy. £130m on two strikers feels very bad business when we still have depth that needs adding in future windows.

[dcmk]

When did all the strikers around turn into such dicks and start refusing to play or train.  Seems rampant this summer.

Seems about right to me. Both young with possible future resale value aswell.

Selling Isak will give us some room to manouver in the next windows even if we get both.

[Matt1892]

I don’t think it is common, it just so happened with our striker and another we wanted to being in.

Don’t think it gives us a great deal if we signed Larsen for £65m and Isak went for £130m. With the sell on, there’s not much left (if any) considering we’ve spent £190m so far and had a budget of like £150m reportedly this summer.

Sell on was only 10% of the value above his purchase price, not that impactful. 

The fee of the new signings are spread out over 5 years while the sale of Isak gets booked into profit instanty(minus sell on and current book value).

[Wolfcastle]

A discount seems in order whether he's really injured or if its a put on.

[STM]

JSL hasn't refused to play for Wolves, just in case it wasnt clear, hes got an injury and thats why he might miss their game.

 

By all accounts he wont kick up a fuss to get a move and thats fair enough.

 

I just cant see this one happening. Wolves seem adamant hes going nowhere. Its the same as Brentford really, unless either club makes a couple of signings, they arent going anywhere.

[MagPar]

Him and Wissa are too expensive now. 35-40 max on another striker. Sorloth still available as are plenty others are reasonable prices, just not in England. Why not steal that Beer guy Brentford are after. 

[Shadow Puppets]

Been told that this one’s not dead but also “in the balance”. Sounds like we have a few irons in fires and we’re just going to see who blinks first.

That makes no sense. If we get a second striker Isak is going and we will have just banked over £120 million

Irons in fires that haven't been leaked yet?

I honestly have no idea. Sounds like we’re definitely confident of getting at least 1 more in though.

Those fees need balancing out over those years, can’t just go with notion Isak balances out this year and we can spend, as future years those payments are due.

 

Even at 10%, that’s say nearly £7m. 
 

Next summer we need to sign a GK, RB, LB and CB likely at a minimum. Then not long after that, another CM and RW depending on futures of Willock and Murphy as we go into 26/27 season. All on top of new deals needed for many players. 

[Miggys First Goal]

Liverpool are still spending the Coutinho money. We can make that Isak money last a decade.
