Greetings
Been following the site for over 10 years.
Brought the news regarding Jordan Ibe under a different alias (forgotten) my username name back then.
Back with another transfer discovery that seems far fetched but makes a lot of sense long term.
We are in for Isak. Likelihood in summer but potentially in Jan. Apparently everything has been agreed.
Not sure if anyone posted this already but wanted to share.
Source is close.
To add to that. Trent will be leaving for Real. that's according to a fellow England player who confirmed however that's a secondary source and negotiations are continuing as we speak so could change!

Fair play mate but I don't believe any of that.
26 Dec 2024 05:17:50
Nice rumours - old school - and even about football, which is a bonus.
26 Dec 2024 07:16:16
Zero chance LFC buy a player with a patchy fitness record. other than Chiesa.
26 Dec 2024 07:52:14
In Newcastles last 55 PL games Isak has played in 45 of them and scored 31 times.
Doesn’t sound too patchy.
26 Dec 2024 08:34:40
for some reason not convinced with Isak. don't know why.
where is Ibe now? we thought we had better prospect than sterling for a short period.
26 Dec 2024 08:40:11
Can't see it. No chance i would say.
26 Dec 2024 09:18:55
Thanks for using the site for what it is mate
Sharing rumours
Appreciated.

Isak is a classy player, I’d be happy with that signing.
He will be expensive so someone would have to be sold, I imagine Darwin.
I’m inclined to agree about Trent, it looks like he’s made his mind up. Good luck to him.
26 Dec 2024 10:10:04
He meant Chris Isaak lads not the one from Newcastle as for the Trent rumour covering your bets there by saying he might be going or he could be staying, I could’ve told you that.
26 Dec 2024 10:38:14
No chance we’re spending the kind of money Newcastle want in Isak.
26 Dec 2024 12:14:50
@Victor, to solve a big conundrum at the start of the window, and just so’s everybody knows what we can expect, can you tell us how much the club has in the transfers piggy bank, please?
26 Dec 2024 12:16:53
What a wicked game to play . To make me feel this way Sid19 .
26 Dec 2024 13:17:51
I’d take him 100%. I think isak is a top player. I can’t see us spending any money though, what has it been like 3 transfer windows without signing a player for the first 11? Dom and Mac wasn’t it?
26 Dec 2024 13:21:14
If we sign him we can all sing ‘Toon did a bad, bad thing’.
26 Dec 2024 15:55:15
Go and look at his injury record on transfer market. 315 days since 18/ 19 season.
26 Dec 2024 17:59:04
Vango that’s fair enough.
But it still doesn’t change the fact that in the last 2 seasons he’s now played 46 of 56 league games.
{Ed001's Note - they did have to wrap him up in cotton wool and a lot of them were not 90 minute appearances due to his problems. Just to point out there is more to it than just number of appearances. He wouldn't have played as many but Wilson had a long term injury and he was just about the only forward they had available.}
26 Dec 2024 18:17:03
Ed001 not really sure mate how many of them were 90’s.
I was just replying in terms of him being compared to Chiesa and him having a patchy record.
I know very little of Isak but 32 goals in his last 46 is a pretty good return.
Hopefully Nunez gets going starting tonight and hits the goal trail.
{Ed001's Note - I know mate, just trying to add a bit more info is all.}
26 Dec 2024 18:23:26
Ed001 what’s your top 5 centre forwards currently mate.
And which ones you think would be attainable if we were to go down such a route?
{Ed001's Note - bit hard to pick centre forwards as there are so few. Other then Haaland, Hojlund, Strand-Larsen and Nunez, Isak is about the only actual centre forward in the Prem. There are a lot of players that play up top, but hard to call them actual centre forwards, like Mbappe and Jota. I mean there are players like Wood as well, but they are so few and far between now it is hard to pick 5 without knowing if you are including players like Cunha etc that are not true centre forwards.}
26 Dec 2024 19:00:32
Ed001 cheers for the reply mate and I concur it’s a difficult one as there’s not many good centre forwards out there.
Truth be told though our 5 forwards aren’t doing to badly. They’re all contributing this season. I think if we could keep Jota in cotton wool and Nunez gets on that scoring run then there is no real need to be looking elsewhere. But it’s a big if but would be nice if it happens as both Jota and Nunez are fan favourites.
{Ed001's Note - yeah it would be nice but I would personally look to upgrade by replacing Jota with Cunha if possible.}
26 Dec 2024 19:47:03
No chance isak joins us. Eddie howe says he wouldn't swap him for anyone. Never going to happen. Be had our chance to sign him years ago.
Cunha looks really good too.
27 Dec 2024 09:57:22
The Portugese agency has flogged us plenty of players, im sure we have as good a chance as anyone else to sign Cunha.
Imagine LFC with a robust, consistent forward in place of Jota/ Nunez, we'd be scoring for fun.
27 Dec 2024 19:04:16
Thanks for the rumor but I really hope both are wrong. I've never rated Isak; he scores some goals but I don't see much else from him. I'd much rather keep Nunez.
Obviously hope TAA stays. I'll be very disappointed if he goes, but have nothing negative to stay about him so far and will sadly wish him the best.
