Hello all,
Wasn't sure whether to post this or not because of the twists and turns that can happen in football but it's rather significant.
Newcastle have today given their blessing to let Alexander Isak leave for Liverpool.
All down to the financials now, shouldn't be a problem.
The football club are fully aware what they have to do.
Ta.

That's great news, thanks Carra. Don't worry, we know how things can change in football. We just appreciate you letting us know.
26 Jul 2025 21:54:21
Don't believe it happens, especially after today's game and the injury to gomez, we should spend the money on defenders.
26 Jul 2025 21:55:47
Appreciate you sticking your neck out on it Carra and passing on what you know to us. Thanks for everything you’ve been sharing.
I don’t think any (reasonable! ) person on here expects you to be able to call transfers with 100% certainty before they happen as there’s a lot of moving parts.
Fingers crossed, this one happens, it would be an incredible signing.

Hello Hardy,
I think Guehi and the kid from Parma joins.
Ta.
26 Jul 2025 22:08:08
Cheers carra.
26 Jul 2025 22:13:07
That would be excellent. I rate Guehi, Leoni and Isak as additions. I don’t think Grav, Endo or Stephenson should be playing CB. And we don’t need a left winger to replace Diaz yet.
26 Jul 2025 22:15:01
Thanks Carra great info…. who the bloody hell is the kid from Parma?
26 Jul 2025 22:15:04
Carra you spoiling us! ?.
26 Jul 2025 22:18:04
It's a friendly don't worry about the result it means absolutely nothing.
26 Jul 2025 22:28:44
Carra, I think you tell us this great news late at night so we can all shoot into town to celebrate. Either way great news if it all gets pulled off. Cheers for all your insights.
26 Jul 2025 22:31:02
Look forward to Fabrizio dropping this news in the morning!
26 Jul 2025 22:32:20
The kid from Parma is The Fat Kid from Bolton’s son
Ta.
26 Jul 2025 22:32:28
Carra, your really spoiling us tonight, get the man some Ferrero Rocher.
26 Jul 2025 22:35:15
Nice one Carra, I think you are spot on with those center backs too mate.
Just to add to the financials. Contract won't be an issue, as a usual agent discussion happened to gauge interest etc. Newcastle are expected to drive a hard bargain, as they don't want to be seen as to be giving in too easily. That's what I've heard.
26 Jul 2025 22:36:54
Ta Carra. Great info as always.
26 Jul 2025 22:24:30
Love you Carra, you made my night… wish I could say the same about my bird ;-)
Ed do you believe that once the fee is (eventually) agreed between both clubs, that it will be kept private, to avoid Newcastle from having to be pay over inflated prices for Isak’s replacement? Thank you.
{Ed001's Note - I expect replacements in first.}
26 Jul 2025 22:53:22
Thanks Carra and Thefields, really appreciate the info being shared.
26 Jul 2025 23:27:53
Thanks carra, if them two cb’s come in would another cb leave?
26 Jul 2025 23:50:58
Fat kid from Bolton. Not heard that on here since the Macca days ?.
27 Jul 2025 00:07:28
Carra. you likely got a good laugh from Ed002 up there on the Kid from Bolton line. Cheers, YNWA ps Defender is worrying me a bit now.
27 Jul 2025 01:34:30
Cheers carra. Really hope we get isak sorted quickly. Cb can wait, get isak sorted first.
27 Jul 2025 01:57:29
Cheers Carra. Really appreciate the info. Along with the others here and especially all the Eds. M.
27 Jul 2025 02:44:42
For me the writing was on the wall in Howe's press conference.
27 Jul 2025 05:21:51
Oh my god Carra. Please please let it be true. Signing of the season if we pull off the young lad from Parma.
27 Jul 2025 06:05:48
So Fofana is not on the cards, even if wer loose Nunez, Diaz, Fede and Diogo (RIP)? Im not sure putting Rio in the firing line at 16 is the best idea.
27 Jul 2025 06:37:33
Everton are in for Fofana…I nearly shxt the bed.
27 Jul 2025 08:24:44
Any actual truth in Konate being offered a new deal? It would be good if marc guehi was replacing Gomez and 4th choice one of the youngsters linked.
27 Jul 2025 08:59:39
Not sure you can say pull off the young lad on the internet these days without a hard drive check Davey ?.
27 Jul 2025 10:52:34
Cheers for the updates Carra. Hope Ngumoha gets some more game time. Looks like he's bulked up a bit and is very good on the ball.
