To be honest, it's hard to be sad for Darwin. Collect £400 per week, £20m per year, three years deal, make £60m then return to Europe by age 29, and play again if you can be bothered.
Darwin may never be a UCL champion, but he's an EPL champion. For some like Isak becoming a Premier League champion is still a dream. For some like Stevie G, it's something that will remain elusive forever.
So, Darwin didn't do too bad. This is for the best for everyone involved.
Benjamin Sesko is going to Manchester United. Newcastle are so toast, unbelievable managerial incompetence.
If you believe this is going to make Isak want to stay, think again.
Further reporting about NUFC shambles, in stark contrast to the Liverpool way of doing business.

Elsewhere, people are wondering "what's going on"?

It's the question that's typically asked when an organisation is driven by irrational whims, combined with loss of key personnel, and family shenanigans... a perfect storm of incompetence to make high precision professional work impossible.
It's never good to have business partners like that.
Jeremie's running social media for us now 🤣
The gap between the media / pundits / stupid youtubers and real people / supporters is staggering. It's like journos and pundits live in a self-sustaining, isolated alternate reality of their own.
NUFC can't seem to make up their minds one way or the other. Most frustrating club since Everton frustrated their supporters in the last derby they couldn't win at Goodison.
Darwin will be making three times his current salary and the well being of him and his family is assured. He might as well get elsewhere the appreciation and kindness he was denied in England.
The Kop loved him no matter what, we know he's not a bad footballer, not even close to damaged goods as he's been made look, but the press is absolute garbage, and conservatives just parrot stupid ideas before those reach their brains.
He'll be just fine without us.

If everybody performs as expected, if we have a few players taking on more responsibility each according to their age and evolving status, and we cut some slack for the players who are new to the Premier League, we sit squarely on the perch we already are. Adding Isak would take this to a whole new level.
Of course, it could also be that Ngumoha and Doak score a few more each and that would greatly help our base line contribution of players in the 'other' group.
We can't count on it, but we can sure hope that is the case. And seeing how the boys looked in pre-season training, there's no reason why this couldn't be the case.

Yeah if Darwin is really going, it seems that we're really going after Isak, if not now, certainly in January, or in June again. Although we do seem to be blessed with the depth we didn't have in previous seasons with Doak maturing in his role, and even Ngumoha feeling ready made for Liverpool (although I'm unsure what's his real position).
If we add goals from Ekitike, Wirtz, and a gravitating Szoboszlai, on top of Mo's, we're already talking expected 60-70 goals.
Discount Jota's, Lucho's and Darwin's.
Add Gakpo's with more active participation, and Liverpool should easily reach 80 goals, assuming Mo can sustain a comparable output this upcoming season, and the assuming the rest contribute their little bit as well.

I agree with @ReCyclist
If FSG were ready to compete with TFG also along this specific dimension, that would be something laudable.

"The living pension is a voluntary savings target for employers who want to tackle low pension saving.
Katherine Chapman, director of the Living Wage Foundation, said Everton "is sending a powerful message that everyone should have a decent standard of living, now and in the future".

It sucks to be a Saudi-majority owned club.
Here's good old agent Carra, helping Liverpool to lower NUFC's asking price (and everybody's expectations) for the signing of Alexander Isak. 🤣
I didn't want Trent to leave, probably none of us wanted that. But given his decision, we're in this situation now, and it seems that at least the right back flank is a problem finally solved. In that sense, Trent did us a favour, didn't he?
Your nephew and your boss stepping in to help recruit someone, anyone for you? This is worse than a Jorg Schmadtke situation, so amateur it hurts.
This is why you should never have an irrational monarchy controlling your football club. You can never sack them.
If Newcastle fail to sign Sesko as a replacement for Isak (after failing to sign any other strikers, including Ekitike) and Isak still wants to come to Liverpool, there will be no one else left to blame and the only question remaining will be how could possibly NUFC set up themselves for such a horrific, no good, abominable way of doing business and atrocious transfer window.
