The Battle for Benjamin Chesco: Manchester United and Newcastle Locked in a Tug of War

Good evening, welcome to the transfer show. Michael Bridge and Rob Dorset here to analyze and dissect the day’s top stories. And boy, have we got a lot of top stories. None more top, if that makes sense, than the battle to sign Benjamin Chesco, which is really ramping up. Manchester United and Newcastle have both made bids. We’ll bring you the latest details and tell you which of those clubs is leading the chase for the striker.

United’s Bid

Manchester United’s bid for Chesco went in after Newcastle’s second bid. United are bidding 74 million, 65 million up front with 9 million in add-ons. That’s slightly under what Newcastle United are offering. Peter Stevenson, our reporter in Manchester, joins us live with the latest details. “United’s bid went in after Newcastle’s second bid,” Peter says. “United’s bid is 74 million, 65 million up front with 9 million in add-ons, that’s slightly under what Newcastle United are offering. But what we’re hearing is that the young striker who’s been training alone all day is favoring a move to Old Trafford.”

Newcastle’s Bid

Newcastle, on the other hand, have raised their offer to 80 million. Our reporter Keith Downey has the latest from Newcastle. “Newcastle’s offer is 80 million, 70 million plus a potential 10 million in add-ons,” Keith says. “But one source is telling us that the player favours a move to Manchester United over Newcastle United. And I think that will be hard, really, really difficult for the people in power here at Newcastle United who have already seen multiple players slip through their fingers this summer to some of the top clubs in the country and this looks like it could be another one of those.”

Analysis

So, what’s the analysis on this tug of war? Michael and Rob, you’re both experts in these matters. Let’s put you on the spot. If you were a Newcastle fan, would you prefer a Raw Benjamin Chesco or an Alexander Isak who’s had his head turned? Michael?

The Isak Saga

This could get interesting. What do you think, Rob? Should Newcastle stick by their guns and not sell Alexander Isak unless they get a player of proper caliber in to replace him?
