I would suggest not

Next 24-48hrs are key. Either Man Utd match our bid and we've got to hope the stuff yesterday about him choosing us is true, or they don't, and we are home free. I hope it's the latter, because if we bid first and lose out again after Pedro, Ekitike and Trafford, we will be a fucking laughing stock.

That £150m is probably closer to half that once we write off what we owe on him and add the 10% we owe Sociedad for the sell on clause. And whilst £100+mil for Bale, Grealish, Coutinho etc helped those clubs buy half a new team, in the 2025 market it buys you 2 Elanga's.

Sounds like no atm, but yes if they can shift Garnacho or Sancho. They might gamble and put in an offer for Sesko and hope they sell one of them later in the window.

I really hope this happens, just to piss off Ben Jacobs, David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano as much as anything. The seeth coming through their tweets today is ridiculous. They've spent all week saying we wouldn't bid unless we got the nod from Sesko's camp, and now they are claiming the opposite. I'd laugh my tits off if we bought Sesko and refused to sell Isak Alternatively, of course, Chelsea sign Garnacho, Man Utd use that cash to buy Sesko and Isak forces his way to Liverpool. Which results in me burning my NUFC shirts and grinding off my magpie tattoo.

Just started watching the new Birmingham/Tom Brady documentary on Amazon. Rooney is every bit as thick and uncharasmatic behind the scenes as you would expect. Fuck knows how he repeatedly gets jobs in management

The betting markets are unsuspended, so I presume that was just in response to a run of bets being placed rather than any actual insider info

Although that might be Klopp doing Liverpool a favour and making it more likely that we sell Isak... it's like fucking inception this!

The story isn't a fluff piece. It's pretty black and white...

Might all be bollocks, but I've got a semi on anyway. Twitterati are saying (making up) that Klopp's advised him to pick us over the circus in Manchester

He would be in breach of contract then

I wouldn't rule out Liverpool putting in a late bid for Sesko now that Nunez is close to going to Saudi.

Romano conspicuous by his absence btw. Isak is all he's fucking posted about for weeks and he's the only one not reporting on Liverpool saying they aren't returning with a second bid.

Or more apt

Wor Flags display for Liverpool (H)

Well whatever narrative they've been pushing for the past month with zero input from NUFC you pedantic TWAT!

I don't want to get my hopes up too soon, but I'd fucking love it if Al-Rumayann has flown in and laid down the law, telling Isak and his agent he's staying and that's the end of it. Makes a mockery of Fabrizio, Ornstein and Jacobs making up stories that we've given Isak permission to agree personal terms etc.

Good. Let Howe get him back onside. Add Watkins or Wissa as a Wilson replacement and get the fuck on with finding a CB and a CM and let's fucking smash this season

Which means Liverpool have leaked it to everyone.

He can put a transfer request in and forgo any loyalty bonuses he is due
