Some absolute comedy on the reddit threads about Isak. Long story short Arsenal enquired about Isak at the end of the season and were politely told to go suck their own dicks by Newcastle. Liverpool get the same response but some of their fans are outraged at the 'arrogance' of Newcastle and that Liverpool are the most decorated club so he should go to them. What planet are these people on?
Highly unlikely. People really dont understand just how much the top sides, not just the dippers, can spend if they choose to. The reason why they dont is because it potentially hamstrings you in the future and you'll always want as much wiggle room as possible.They must close of hitting the PSR, no ? They spent nearly £300million and only sold Qunasah so far.
How good is this Ekitike?
We need to talk more about Ekitike. The word 'generational' is being bandied about.
Both will very likely regress to their expected values over a larger sample. I'm very happy with our guy I wont lie. Sorry for the image quality.Interesting to see their expected goals and assists too. Ekitike got 23 G+A from an expected G+A of 27, meaning his missed a lot he should have scored. Marmough got 24 for 13 expect G+A meaning he scored a lot he had no right to.
This guy is highly respected, no?Scored a similar amount of goals to Marmoush in Bundasliga and he moved to City in January. If this guy is generational does that make Marmoush the second coming of Pele.
You wonder why you don’t get much of a welcome on here with weird posts like this?
He might be great. But Werner and Havertz were great in the Bundesliga too. I'll be honest, I'll take you gambling on Eketike over you getting a proven PL goalscorer in Isak any day.Both will very likely regress to their expected values over a larger sample.

yeah, I would have loved Isak. I thought we had him there for a while but fair play to the Geordies/Saudis for holding firm. I think they might regret not taking the Coutinho money though one day.He might be great. But Werner and Havertz were great in the Bundesliga too.

United: Hold my beer.It seems most teams are avoiding Sesko despite all the hype.

Because he is too raw. He keeps missing absolute sitters. He would flop in PL if he joined right nowIt seems most teams are avoiding Sesko despite all the hype.

Once you've seen it, you'll never unsee it.So what I note is this.
Milos Kerkez - Bournemouth, £40m
Florian Wirtz - Bayer Leverkusen, £116m
Jeremie Frimpong - Bayer Leverkusen, £29.5m
Giorgi Mamardashvili - Valencia, £29m

Ekitike, we are told, is a done deal, at more than £70m.
So ok, we're looking at spending — just for this window — of north of £284,5m. Now if they've got the money, and they can stay within the PSR rules, sure, go ahead spend it. Got no problem with that. It would be hypocritical of any City supporter to say otherwise. What I simply can never get my head round is Why do they get a free pass from the media? Why is there never mention of “big-spending Liverpool” which is trotted out like a kneejerk mantra, all the time, relentlessly, in relation to us? And which is repeated by brainwashed morons, supporters of other clubs, on the comments section of the BBC when they're not droning it down the pub.
When we smashed Juventus in the CWC, there was the usual comment: “Means nothing, they bought it.” I shouldn't let it get to me — I shouldn't even read it, in fact — but it does. Yes, you fuckwits, the days of Burnley and Ipswich Town winning the league are long gone! Everybody buys their success — with the single fairy-story exception of Leicester City (which had not happened since Derby County in the seventies, and will not be repeated again this century). And that is true in every major European league.
I never used to believe it. Thought it was Bluemoon, persecution-complex, paranoia. But we really are, without any shadow of a doubt, treated and reported differently. Utterly sick and tired of it.
