Honestly, I think if we're signing Isak, it's coming at the end of the window. We need to shift Diaz and Newcastle need to sign Sesko. Once those things happen, the dominos will start to fall. There's so many pieces to the puzzle.

This isn't bitter at all, but the best version of Trent was him from 2018-2020 when he was still hungry and with something to prove. He's gone downhill since then. Can almost put money on him being at Newcastle or Villa in 2 years.

The worst thing about sagas like the Isak one is how unproductive they make you. I’m back on this app every 2 minutes for an update and it sends the screen time through the roof 😭😭

Just realised we’re the first team in history to win the Premier League then also win the transfer window.

It's gotten to the stage where Indykalia is genuinely a more reliable source than actual paid journalists 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Maybe FSG were hiding all the money from Klopp for years because they knew he’d drop £100m on bums like Julian Brandt

Just saw a Tottenham fan say “Solanke it’s time to go” in the replies

Actually embarrassed by how much I used to pedal that FSG Out stuff. We're undeniably the best run club in the country and have been for years.

Imagine if we turn up to St. James' Park on 25 August with both Isak and Ekitike up top. I think Geordie heads might explode.

I understand what Chelsea fans meant when they spoke about winning the transfer window now. Haven't felt dopamine like this in a long, long time.

If we actually do sign Isak, which now looks genuinely possible, it's the best transfer window in the history of football. Bar none.

Scratch this, I'm sucked right back in again. ISAK IS GOING TO BE A RED.

Alexander Isak, who is Newcastle's most recognisable and important player, hasn't travelled on a preseason tour which is mostly done for commercial reasons and global exposure because of an "injury". He could have just come and done media. He's one foot out the door.

Konate signing a new deal would honestly be better than any other signing we could make this window.

Am I the only one who just isn't overly fussed about Isak now? Ekitike has clearly been signed to be the No. 9 and he's got an immense ceiling. My attention is solely on him and, if I'm honest, I'm just bored of the Isak thing now.

£70m for Diaz effectively pays for Ekitike who is 5 years younger, actually improves us and, most importantly, wants to be here. I beg we just take Bayern’s next offer and run because this saga is tedious now.

As we didn't sign you, Gravenberch got the chance to play as the No. 6 week in, week out, he won the PL YPOTY as we then went on to win the title. Yeah, we're absolutely gutted mate.
