Sounds like a load of bollocks to me. Everyone and his dog knows it'll take a record bid so he's taking out of his arse.

There's no way he's genuinely off the table. They're literally trying to sign his replacement right now.
Whether it’s true or not, that’s a great message to have out in the public.
And Sesko!
We are trying to be real Madrid and I don't think it'll work.
I suspect it's Isak or no other forward this summer.
You make it sound like going into the season with our newly signed £70M striker would be madness.
If it is, why the fuck did we sign him? We should have signed someone good.
This is getting ridiculous.
We've got a £60M striker who can't hit a barn door.
We've just signed a £70M striker and we're all worried he's not up to it.
So, the next step is to spend £150M on another striker.
Is it me or what? We need to step away from the cheque book and take a breath.

I can see us going Rodrygo and Guehi with that money then using next season’s Salah money to go for Isak.
We’re gonna do just fine without Isak this season. May even go another direction next season.

Nah, we need to whip the cheque book out and sign a world class CB and a top young prospect
Dont be silly, if you want a good striker, you're going to have to pay a lot more than a piddling 70 million. Project strikers and will they or won't they strikers are at 70 million now, and you just have to hope you picked well. If you want a striker who would have been pretty good, but nothing to write home about when you were young, that will be outright rejected at 110 million.
All because everyone decided strikers were gauche then were astonished when the Metagame inexplicably began to value people who are good at kicking a ball into a net.
Who could have predicted it? Our data nerds hadn't quite seen through the matrix I guess, not quite yet.
New-cah-sul is what I say. But I am filthy northerner
New-caw-stle!!!!!
I didn’t take you for a posh cunt!!!
It’s pronounced New (pause for dramatic effect)… Casssssslewhyyimanupthetoon!!!!
And then you immediately have to start talking about “canny bags of Tudor”, “climbing mountains”, “smirking tabs”, “bugger all money” and “pets”, for whom you may say goodbye to in German.
Why would we be worried about Ekitike? And the Isak deal has nothing to do with it either. We need two strikers.
Yeah I think he's just hearing the difference between the northern and southern accents. If the second syllable rhymes with car then that's southern.
Of course Geordies also pronounce it differently too, with the stress on the cas.
Were they competing for two right up top positions?
I’d compare us to having Ekitike, Gakpo, Salah and Wirtz to that.
Weren't at least three of them on the pitch at all times?
Owen, Fowler, Heskey and Litmanen
That doesn’t make sense. Gakpo and Salah won’t play in the 9 position. Wirtz can but as a false 9, not the same.
We mostly start in a 4-2-3-1, and will have/should have 2 x quality 9’s.
And we can’t have two players for one position.. One of them can even play in multiple positions so they can start together
