My thoughts are if the Saudis were really that interested in backing them, they would find a way, just like City have.Cos they're hamstrung by the PSR. Unless im wrong, isnt the Isak thing down to wages? Newcastle can't offer him £200k a week. So he's leaving to go to a club that will or a bigger name one.
All their transfer targets have gone to Real, Chelsea, United, RS, City, Spurs.
They're punching but don't have a way to throw silly money to complete a deal.
