Dr Gloom 26326 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 1 minute ago, Craig said: I do also think our approach is in some way an attempt to unsettle Liverpool into making a move on Ekitike and in some respects it's working. Let's be honest they want, and always have wanted Isak, but I suspect Ekitike was identified as the back-up plan. The fact we've made a bid for their Plan B has sparked them into action and left them with no option but to make an enquiry about their Plan A (Isak). Understandably rebuffed, they now have no option but to go for the back-up plan and are panicking they might miss out on him as well as they understand we're genuinely serious about wanting to sign Ekitike and is a scenario that never appeared on their radar. If any of that is true it's fucking glorious and the mental gymnastics going on in Merseyside right now would be delightful. the comments online are insane. they can't fathom that little old newcastle are building a squad to compete. they still think we're here to make up the numbers and are certain that if we get ekitke they get isak this window. it'll blow their minds if we end up with both of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And any sign that Liverpool are coming in will be reported with glee by a very friendly MEDIA.

Perhaps Ekitike will tell Liverpool to get fucked in the same way Pedro allegedly told us to. The irony being both players were the Plan B to Isak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 12368 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 BTW Liverpool effectively disclosing they have £120m to spend on a striker is amateur hour. Frankfurt should demand that from them for Ekitike 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 9888 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) I think we are just triggering the Ekitike transfer to keep Isak from going to Liverpool. Strength in depth is good but youI can’t see where we’d play start him. Maybe over Gordon ? Edited July 16 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
