We've gone in with a strong bid of ?69.7m plus add-ons. If RBL say no to that, it's time to say see ya later and just hold Isak for the season. Craig Hope and others reporting that they have 48 hours to get the deal done or we're out.

I worked with Benjamin Sesko and Erling Haaland – one stood out as better
Should they be successful in their endeavours, they will welcome a highly-rated player who was once tipped to have more potential than Haaland by their former RB Salzburg boss, Rene Aufhauser. The Norwegian goal machine, now 25, spent time at Salzburg between 2019 and 2020, whilst Sesko represented the Austrian outfit from 2020 to 2023.
And speaking to the Mail in 2022, Aufhauser said of the two: "Benjamin is maybe the better football player, better to play with the team, technically maybe better at the same age. His natural movements are so good, he's 6ft 4in tall, fast and has very, very good physical ability.
"He's so smooth with the ball, very good technique, good finishing and he jumps so high. Very, very, good with the head, It's unbelievable. Erling was mentally a monster and [mentally] better at the same age. This is the last five, 10 per cent that Benji has to get."

Aye-PSR means we can't compoete on wages.
If he genuinely believes Man U will offer better progression for him as a footballer then fair enough...but I don't believe for a moment that he would go there for that reason. It'll be about the money.
Much like that fucking Judas, Isak.

No mate you're not missing anything.Originally posted by smorgan86 View PostAm I missing something here? Everyone saying that Man Utd have won the race but their bid is 10 million less than ours and neither are confirmed to have been accepted as of yet. If RBL only accepts our bid, theres no race to be had.
There bid has not been accepted. Ours has. The Media are doing what the media does. The PR companies have paid their monthly payments. This is a coordinated effort to reduce Newcastle United. I saw someone post that Sesko was included in the 'most expensive striker signings of the summer for Man U with an * next to it.
I can see why people get so crazy with social media it's pure brain rot. I'm glad I don't have an active Twitter, Insta or Facebook account.
My News feed RSS that pumps out the 20 clickbait articles each with 1 sentence from an interview from Eddie Howe or a comment from Simon Jordan etc is plenty of noise.
The lad has the choice to make, develop his career and become a world class player or go to the filth for money.
We'll know if he's ambitious or greedy

Via the media, Sesko has gone:
Best thing ever, up coming superstar - when going to Manure.
Over-priced and to hyped up - when we took the lead for his signature.
Best thing ever, up coming superstar - when Manure were about to bid.
Over-priced and to hyped up - when we put in an actual bid.
Best thing ever, up coming superstar - when Manure have put in a formal bid.
On top of that SSN reporting he has signed for Manure, despite hte bid not even being accepted.
It's a joke - it's so clear a co-ordinated targetted attack on anything we do.

The Hall of famers here will remember when I wrote one of my long detailed posts about the Media Industry probably 2 or 3 yrs back in which I detailed how the Media Industry works, with 'access, exclusives, off-the-record & straight forward brown envelops'?
We are seeing the machine turned up to 11 in full swing as the subject of their bias. It's never been so pronounced or acute before because we have never been such a big threat.
From now on this is going to be the default position, the machine will continue to work to beat us down and deny our ascension to the title.
It won't work. We can not be stopped.

There is absolutely zero reason for a club to accept a bid that is 10 million less than an alternate bid unless they are actively involved in collusion. 90 million from us, 80-85 million from Manure. Unless they match, there is no decision to be had, we've won the race.Originally posted by Ragatino View PostIs everyone agreeing with me now ?

I don't think RBL will actively try to help Man Utd but I do think they want a bidding war to happen. Regardless of how bad a position we're in with this window, we should stick to deadline and walk if they won't meet it.

IF RBL had accepted the bid & the Media is right that the lad want's only the filth.
(Funny how we were encouraged to bid after the player had taken time to speak with his family, agent and Klopp among others. Had the player been 'Only wanting the filth' we wouldn't have bid or wasted our time.)
As it stands regardless of all the media noise.
1. The filth have not matched out bid
2. RBL have not accepted and won't accept less money
3. The player hasn't decided between the two clubs
4. The filth only put the insulting lowball offer in because we were clear to sign the player without competition
5. The filth have to sell the 3 losers on huge salaries to finance this. They won't
6. RBL will be encouraging the filth to up their bid. They won't
7. Wednesday there will be a conclusion to this. NUFC has said we want an answer by end of Wed
Should this one go against us. Here are the Strikers still available. I've put them in descending order of choice,
1.Woltemade - ?55m
2.Ramos - ?70m
3.Samu - ?80m release clause
4.Endrick - ?70m/Loan
5.Watkins - ?60m
6.Boniface - ?50m
7.Jackson - ?70m
Samu's release clause might make it a more interesting opportunity so it's non-negotiable.
However, I'd like to see us bring in Woltemade and Ramos. Two very good quality players.
Ideally I'd like Sesko & Woltemade. Those two would destroy defences, both massive animals + J7 +BDB + Botman with Tripz, Elanga & the new set piece coach... That's devasting!

Nobody will choose NUFC over a cartel club, on less money. I'm sorry, but thats an insane thought!
No player will pick us above, Man U, Chelsea, etc. given the playing time is about the same.
They can offer more money, and really a better project - because they run the cartel and will attract better players also in the future.
The PL is so rotten and feck up, its starting to become rather boring. Feckin waste of time.
