Summer Transfer Window 25/26 *Sponsored by Bigpig*
- Thread starter Bigpig

We've gone intentionally low so you can reject it and get a 'win' for a change this window100mcomedy bid.
Makes sense, though Newcastle are rapidly running out of targets. I feel like Sesko is Utd bound, so thats another one gone.
Isaks position at Newcastle is untenable now, a portion of the fanbase is/has already turned against him. Supposedly he also told Newcastle last year that he intended to leave, so the club has known for a while now. I cant see how he can stay at Newcastle and only one club is realistically in the running to buy him, which is Liverpool. So theres an inevitability about it.
With Sesko likely now out of the running , I wonder if the idea of Nunez to Newcastle might resurface
Watkins is the latest name being linked. Villa will sell too.

No way we'll offer enough to get Newcastle to sell Isak
He could potentially do two of those for sure.
I still think it's happening, just probably at the end of the window (should Newcastle actually manage to sign a player)
nailed on fella, we want him. Might as well get used to it, everything briefed by journos is that we can go 200m more an that was before the diaz sale.
And they should as well, good business. They can buy 3/4 first team starters for that basically.
Diminishing returns, very hard to justify that price tag. Need to see what the actual deal is i suppose
I have no idea why you think this doesn't have legs. Liverpool and Isak want the move, and Liverpool have the money.
Why would they hold onto a player who doesn't want to be there when bids approach £150 million? The alternative is that he stays with his heart set on leaving, potentially not featuring, or the Saudi overlords forcing a move to NEOM.

With the season start approaching and a star player who doesnt want to play for them, they'll give in at 140m. Its just a matter of when.
It could do for Newcastle what the 142m for Coutinho did for us. Its inevitable imo. I'd say theres more chance of Isak starting the season in Liverpool colours than Newcastles.
Let's tell them this but as I heard some people discuss on a podcast yesterday, Newcastle's approach to this transfer window has been shambolic. I genuinely believe that when the Isak stuff first broke a deal could have been done where we'd have stepped aside from the Ekitike deal but now Newcastle are faced with the prospect of signing their 12th choice striker or forcing an unhappy Isak to stay.
Now obviously I'm not suggesting Newcastle should just bend over and let us violate them but clubs have to have a plan for these eventualities and it appears they didn't.
I agree with this.
Starting amount was very very low, I can guess they are trying to get his agent to put in a transfer request officially so they can get him cheap.
I can't see us selling cheap. So think it happens end of window.
Who knows on a replacement mind as everyone seems or have gone.
