Diaz makes way for Isak

[HughieG]

This only just occured to me.

Diaz isn't moving to Bayern because he's fallen out of favour with Slot - he played 36 games last season, scored 13 goals and produced 7 assists. Not bad.

Up until today I thought that Isak leaving seemed unrealistic, if not just silly, overdramatized rumours, but now I'm getting the inkling that he's actually f'cking joining our direct rivals.

They?re getting a decent amount of coin for him but they?ve also already spent a fair bit.

The one they really want rid of is Nunez, if the worst case scenario happens and Isak goes to Liverpool, him coming out way would make the worse case worse

We cannot give Liverpool Isak and take Nunez off them 😡

I would hope though that the 200m spent on forwards this summer (not including their full backs) for them means that they have to sell Diaz just to balance what they?ve spent already.

Mind you, it seems a bit crass to bring up, but will they have an insurance payout for Jota?

I still just can?t see how they can afford Isak from us - we?re in the driving seat here regarding valuation of the player.

That being said, I can only see Isak going this window at the minute

[Zippity]

It's not crass, I think it is actually part of the equation.

If we end up swapping players, never mind the actual cash involved, we will look ridiculous.

Yes, it's hard to imagine Isak staying at the moment. He must also be thinking that staying is not an option, he's p!ssed off a lot the fans by now. Including yours truly.

Reports are back and forth on Sesko. IMO, if Sesko goes to Manure, there is no way we can sell Isak. It would be a disaster.

Certainty is that Isak goes no where Sesko ruins his career on the filth's payroll. I don't think Signing Sesko means Isak will leave.

I have said this so many times
We will sell him on the last day of the transfer window for ?100 million and be told that the winter window will be all about buying new top players
O no that was the fat slug

Direct rivals?? Liverpool?

We wont finish top 8 next season if this is the way the club is going.. Liverpool are definitely not our direct rivals

They should be. They won?t be if we sell our main goalscorer to them.

Not our direct rivals yet but its coming and selling one of our top players to them wont expediate it. They know it, thats why its happening
