Such a rip off. I know fees make no sense but they’re rinsing us on this fee. Same as Atalanta with Hojlund. Legit 5% chance we recoup any of this and like 30% chance he even makes it in the prem.

Who tf is ever gonna pay more for sesko than this? He’d have to become Isak or Haaland. Meanwhile he’s way more similar profile to Hojlund. Is anyone excited about this I just don’t see what’s special about him.

I think that one guy who blames the Glazers for global warming ITT was excited about Seskoffender

I’m only excited because we won’t have to see Hoijland anymore

the bar is so low

If we do get him it will be hilarious when we play Newcastle lol

How tf did this guy get a new club like that

I am excited for Sesko and if he chooses Newcastle, Watkins is a great plan B if the price and wages are right. Especially with Villa signing a striker today

According to The Athletic the club failed to negotiate the Slovenian club NK Domzale down from €2m in 2019 so they sold to RB Salzburg.

I believe the Glazers still had banker Ed Woodward in charge of those negotiations at the time despite his continued failures.

Appointing actual football people who know how to negotiate with football clubs is better than JP Morgan bankers. So yet again we are having to make up for the Glazer’s incompetence and years of neglect.

What happened to them wanting Holjund? That’s the main reason I was excited about it.

Might be two separate deals

It’s got nothing to do with that, it’s because the current manager uses wingbacks

At this point I’ll buy into the delusion

He’s absolutely s*** man cba

investigate vivell rn he must be getting a cut of the transfer fee

This is the s***tiest 50 shot comp wtf. His decision making is ed. Why does he take so many long range shots. He doesn’t even look up when he gets the ball.

We couldn’t get this in our academy???? I’m convinced Obi could do this if you taught him how to not be a good striker.

command find-replace SESKO->HOJLUND

"Haaland had scored 86 goals in 89 games for Borussia Dortmund whereas Sesko has scored 39 goals in 87 games for RB Leipzig."

he is literally closer to like Bebe than Haaland.

he literally played more games last season in the Bundesliga than the year before, and scored less goals. which is hard to do when you only scored 14 the year before.

how tf are we willing to overpay for this that much. I get it that hojlund and zirkzee didnt impress. but it's the biggest ? of all time to bring sesko in and expect him to be any better. and for 90M, you have to deliver.

not seeing whatever theyre seeing. hes 22 and has modest goalscoring records everywhere he's played including national team where he gets to farm against Estonia and Faroe Islands every year in qualifiers.

this club is never going to learn. basically about to make the same mistake they made 2 years ago that was one of the biggest factors in the worst season ever

obviously if he joins i really hope he succeeds (and think he's got a better chance than Hojlund tbf).

also crazy is that im seeing some people say not to even buy a striker at all and give "Rasmus" another season because he'lll score more with Cunha/Mbuemo or "last season was a write off not his fault"

I think if we’re gonna be spending an outrageous bag for sesko, I’d rather it go towards a midfielder goalkeeper or Centre back. Or Combination of the bunch and just cross fingers H9 or Zirk figures something out.

I hope sesko works out but man is it eerily similar to Hojlund. Less exciting cause we’ve been burnt so recently so it’s not even a new hope anymore.

Bit harsh, are we supposed to just stop signing players with potential, it’s a risk but his ceiling is much higher than Watkins, too early to say imo

i mean its not the potential its the crazy price. just feels like a big gamble for the state the club is in. Mbuemo/Cunha are the opposite of a gamble though which makes it a bit better but still wouldnt be my pick here

i think the huge pressure does factor into this kind of thing with young players too. but yeah too early to say and i hope ends up a baller if he joins which he very well might
