Alexander Isak | Cried his way to a £130m move

Newcastle should say 150 cash full amount no instalments

Agree but seems the people who bought Newcastle don’t give a shit and looks like no one there have any power at the club who they’ve employed! It’s why Howe now saying he only knows where Isak is through the media! Looks like a rudderless ship that club now!
 
This one just seems madness to me. Fair enough if they hadn’t already spunked £90m on Ekitite. But with him in the door where’s the logic in forking out £150m odd on another striker.

Being a pedant but it’s “foregone” conclusion not “full gone” and thinking the Dippers will be 2/3 up in games before the opposition figures them out is naive.

Yeah I could be Naive but we will find out I’m either naive or you are! That’s the thing about what I’ve posted we will find out!

In relation to any transfer between any two clubs this would set a dangerous precedent. Would that make a club less desirable to sign for? Would all incoming players insist upon having release clauses? Would it unsettle the current squad if they felt they could be priced out of a future move? Would we end up with more players leaving on free transfers and signing shorter term contracts?

Agree but think they’ll fold now if it looks like they getting Sesko for a reported fee of £76m Reckon Isak will go for around £115m+15m addons

If you add 20m, it might work. But I get the impression Newcastle's bosses are furious, so a deal is unlikely to happen this summer.

Maybe Slot sees a narrower formation given hes happy to let Diaz go and seems to be buying strikers as Salahs long term replacement

A diamond of
Szoboszlai Gravenberch Mac Allister
Wirtz
Ekitike Isak

He probably knows there isnt a winger on the market who could replace Salahs output, and at 33 he needs to come up with a plan and maybe 2 goalscoring strikers is his solution

Doenst make a lot of sense but who knows, first time hes had to work with his squad not Klopps

At Anfield some teams are likely to fold, but you are overstating the fear they may instill. Most teams are competitive and have pride. Even if they sign Isak, he's not R9. Real signed Mbappe after winning the CL and won nothing next season.

I think you are right about replacing Salah. If they got this over the line now it wouldn't surprise me if Salah went to Saudi before the season starts. He's probably lost a bit of pace in the last few years, but he's a clever enough player to adapt his game. 33 is old for a striker though and it's likely it will be a cliff edge rather than a steady decline when age catches up with him.
 
Newcastle moving for Sesko this morning indicates they've waved the white flag. Good chance Liverpool will get him for £120m.

I agree. They'd be better off going for Rodrygo to replace Diaz. Doesn't make sense to buy both Isak and Ekitike.
