We started trying to sign Ekitike before Liverpool came in for Isak though, so at the very least we had the money and the inclination to buy him without selling Isak.

It's immaterial if there's no interest from Man United in him though. Unless he wants to stay at Leipzig pining for a future playing for those bellends.

I pay a subscription, bitch (£1 a month). Getting the free version is not my job.

If they need makeweights to pay for Watkins or Jackson then they really can't compete for Sesko. Unless Leipzig have a liking for Garnacho for some reason.

If you don't make it back, I'll make sure Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays you in the movie.

I don't even know how concrete their interest is in him. They don't need another experiment, they need someone they know will work in the PL. As you say though, everything you read seems to suggest that Sesko is more than they can afford at the minute and they're shopping around £20m or so lower than that. Leipzig will know better than us if there's any concrete interest from Man United. If there isn't then there's fuck all incentive in them stringing us along, but if there is this could run long unfortunately.

I think it's the other way around on Sesko/Isak. I don't think we'll allow Isak to go until we've replaced him. The one thing we absolutely cannot afford to do is sell him and then fail to bring someone in, and that's at leat one thing that's in our control. Plus the price on anyone we're after goes up once Isak leaves. So for all of the above reasons I think we'll buy before we sell Isak.

What you need is a HERE WE GO! Over to you, Eddie. Realistically, are you gonna just be sent home do you think? Shite that.

Midday kickoff here. A spot of lunch? Don't mind if I do.

ACKNOWLEDGE THIS WARNING!

Those ever so polite scousers wouldn't dream of making a formal bid unless we roll out the red carpet for them.

We could really do with a "here we go" today. And I'm not talking about Ramsdale. Get Sesko done lads.

If he's still here, I'd be amazed if he plays at all until after the Liverpool game.

Nice one ta. Wonder if the match gets cancelled. I know it's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, but it would be some wasted trip if it does.

Well hopefully not eh.

I bet Dubravka leaves and we'll be back to two usable keepers.

Anyone know if South Korea is in the path of the tsunami from this Russian earthquake. I know Japan and the US is on alert but my geography reeks.

I'm enjoying Toonpack's role as Newcastle United's Comical Ali.

I would absolutely love it if you are an estate agent btw.

Where's the pool table and dart board? It looks like nobody lives there.

Do not belittle my achievement.

Genuinely some of the best detective work I've ever done. Now I know what it feels like when the DNA comes back a match for the killer.

I've just used my Google "circle to search" for the first time and it can't work it out. It did identify that it "may be a logo" and offered me up a load of similar logos. But no success.

Good to hear Isak is embracing minimalism as well.
