Seeing as Isak wants out, Newcastle need a replacement striker and want Mbeumo, but Brentford won't sell until they have a replacement, I was wondering about a few things.

Firstly, would it even be good for the team to try and sign isak - huge fee and wage, injury record, question about position and how it affects the other players? Personally, I

if it is a good idea to try for Isak, could we agree a deal with Newcastle for Isak offering Jesus or Havertz as part of the deal for example Which might make our offer more attractive to Newcastle?

And is it completely unrealistic to get an agreement to sell jesus/ havertz to Brentford, they agree wissa to Newcastle and tie it to our offer for isak, so all transfers get done at once so all clubs happy? Or some equivalent process?

Jim, get off the football manager game mate. Just kidding bud. You need way to many people to be involved and agree to such deal which I think it's more difficult and complicated than you think.
IMO just get Eze in and we are sorted.

Hi Jim hope you are well - we put Kai on 280k PW if that didn’t cause an issue. What would? A Isak and Jesus trade plus cash would be awesome. Throw Kai in there too.

Agree with Moe that Eze completed the window and while the new striker is probably still a bit of a risk as not played at this level - we should be good as long as we play the ball forward faster. Sure he will score. Eze then gives us serious options and hopefully Ode pushes on more with a Rick solid midfield. So all signings really make us far more attack minded and balance in defence. It will be really exciting if we get Eze but disappointing if we don’t as we won’t have addressed our issues.

Exciting times.
