Enough to actually make a bid at least. Sky saying they don’t need to sell to buy but will need to sell by the end of the window. So, they need to fucking sell. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even now the arselicking is off the scale. A lad who used to post on here referred to them as the de facto national team and that’s pretty much spot on imo You can subscribe to LFCTV, you can subscribe to MUTV or you can subscribe to their shared platform, sky sports TV. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle 4598 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Watching the youtube Šeško stuff the last few days, he really doesn’t seem to suit our currant style of play, which is bomb down the wings then fanny on outside the box for a bit (ten mins) then lose the ball and run back to our own goal to defend. This Šeško bloke seems to just run up the pitch and Knack the opposing team. So maybe our formation, or style of play is going to change if we do buy him.

Toonpack 15604 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 If we do sell Isak, it'll be after all of our business is done, we'll keep up the not for sale talk because, "if" we don't really mean it, the minute he's flogged clubs will look to take our eyes out on any deals as we'll be obviously minted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how much they've tried to lowball us it seems they're miles off our valuation. It'd be perfect if their fucking around means Isak goes abroad next summer to the likes of a Barca/Bayern instead. We still get paid. Liverpool get nothing, except a sulky French mercenary cunt they've overpaid for to try and bully us. A boy can dream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 26363 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 21 minutes ago, Andrew said: Gordons transfer saga was last summer, he's stayed. Not sure he’d be a better option at 10 than Isak. I guess he played there for England U21s (or was it more of a false 9). I don’t think he has the technical ability to really flourish in the 10. Isak does 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a note Isak has never played there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob toonpants 5194 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Harvey Elliot plus 120m, I'd take that, if we bag Sesko and Wissa Still wouldn't be happy about it though 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes us better overall. The important thing is that Isak leaves on our terms, not liverpools or his own. So we get the strikers we want, and then let him leave for a wedge of PSR wiggle room and an exciting young player to bolster our midfield. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's then no excuse not to acquire a centre half given PSR issues no longer in the equation. Would definitely put a positive spin on the summer window. I reckon if you offered Eddie... Elanga, Sesko, Wissa, Ramsdale, Elliott & say Guehi for the loss of Longstaff and Isak, I think he'd have taken it. He definitely would now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63250 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I'm taking this as Howe being respectful to the player and wanting to talk to him face to face, rather than a "he'll do as I'll tell him" approach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't someone say this is something to do with the two difference Manchester United Businesses. I am assuming it is the same as Villa and Chelsea selling the women's team to 'themselves'. I think it just shows how much of a snake Ratcliffe is as there is more than enough money altogether to pay for these staff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One wonders how long they can retain a huge following when they're no longer competing for the title. I mean outside of the local support it was their unprecedented success under Ferguson that won them such an international following So they're "supporters" who picked the winning team to support. Take winning out of the equation and they'll either lose interest or pick a new winning team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had that and gave Isak some more brass and had a decent season it may make Isak and co think about leaving and realise we do have a project.

I’m taking it as Howe not committing himself to a comment that he isn’t informed enough to make. If he says he’s definitely be training and he proves not to, the media will ram the comment down Eddie’s throat. He’s way too measured to fall into that trap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
