Just read in a local paper here that Liverpool are paying £125M for Isak and the medical is shceduled later today, according to David Ornstein
Works out to be £130m with solidarity payments, maybe a bit more considering Isak will rightly not be getting his loyalty bonusJust read in a local paper here that Liverpool are paying £125M for Isak and the medical is shceduled later today, according to David Ornstein

I actually don't feel anywhere near as bad as I thought I would
Maybe it's because I've been expecting this deal to happen so came to terms with it a while ago, I even said last week I think £120m plus some add ons gets the deal (I even said last month when players push for a move they mostly get it)
There is a lot of anger amongst our fans but for me it's quite simple, Newcastle United was there before Isak and it will be there after him
I'm not going to blame the club like I did when we sold Carroll to them. This is very different, this situation has been engineered by Liverpool, Isak and his agent from the start. And ultimately players do hold the main card, which is stepping on to that pitch.
His behaviour meant an exit was the right thing and exit this summer was the right thing. Yes, we could have held on for another 6/12 months but what would we have gained from that? An extra £15m/£20m? Which considering the distraction and the cloud that would followed through the season isn't worth that much
We have doubled our money on him, our PSR situation will be very healthy in the medium term, we can fully focus our energy on the players that are at the club (well, a little bit of energy on hate watching too
We also know he's not the most robust, if he keeps picking up those niggles it may turn out to be a poor buy from Liverpool and suddenly the £130m will look even better.
I think he will play a lot more than people think with the fee they have paid. Liverpool don't batter teams early anymore - all 3 game this season has taken a late goal to win. Also with the way Liverpool play the opposition will always be in the game.
I never said you did, I don't know what your position on the matter was, I said if your fans can call someone that didn't dishonour his contract a rat then surely you can understand why calling someone that dishonoured his contract a rat.
Geuhi should be moving today if Palace can find someone soon. Otherwise Jan on a substantially lower fee.
Arsenal were never going to spend that much money on Isak or any other forward
Wissa scored 19 last season, so he can get just as many this season
and also great food.
He will settle in nicely here, it’s closer to his home
Apparently we’re going to be spending silly money to get Sancho on loan as well, not sure how I feel about that, I find it odd we don’t want to bring Grealish back since we are splashing on Sancho.
Sir Richard Hughes. Brilliant work by the people behind the scenes who don't get the plaudits they deserve.
They got the most expensive goalkeeper and the most expensive defender at the time.
What did you think of Gyokeres yesterday be honest
I remember serial moaner Klopp going on about how Liverpool can't compete due to a lack of money, which is complete nonsense when Liverpool have spent hundreds of millions. Nothing wrong with it, of course, but I just hate this narrative surrounding Liverpool that they somehow compete for and win big honours without spending much money.
Oh yeah 100%. I have heard that too and I don’t buy it at all.
I get what you're saying and accept there will be heightened expectations as a result of this investment. However you have to remember we've had years of austerity due to the stadium expansion and hit to our revenues during Covid.
Very good signing, Liverpool have all bases covered now and should be even bigger favourites for title then they were before
Can't blame Glasner - he doesn't want to go backwards having just won them the FA Cup and qualifying for Europe. This one's on Parish who should've accepted Liverpool's offer last month, giving them both the funds and time to buy a replacement.
Guehi would've been a good signing - PL proven and a leader.
I’d been practising his celebration but I think his goals will come against Leeds, Sunderland, Burnley..
The gap between top teams and lesser teams are insane, both quality wise and financially.Works out to be £130m with solidarity payments, maybe a bit more considering Isak will rightly not be getting his loyalty bonus

It doesnt bother me , I just find it hillarious Newcastle fans are so emotional over a player but call another one a hero who did the same. Wissa refused to train, no club would allow a contracted player not to.
Anyway, we will pick this up again when you arrive at Anfield, Isak to score my prediction.
Arsenal fans won't understand? you've probably seen Liverpool win 2 league titles in your entire life time.
