I disagree about the failing in love with the club part. I think he absolutely loves it here, he's just not as open about it. Like Bruno is.

There's no fun in football anymore. Anyone half decent the top clubs just hoover them up. Especially for players that are free / or undervalued. They don't need him at all - they have Raphina, Yamal, Ferran Torres and Olmo that can playe there, and tons of La Masia prospects probably Give the rest of the teams a chance man.

Im pretty sure that’s what brought City to UEFA’s attention😂

Hope the club don't have such a defeatist mind set!

So if the club do we have to trust them. I certainly wouldn't want to but it will come.

We will, probably not this year and hopefully to a club abroad.

Nothing in the rules about our chairman giving Isaks parents a gift of £100 million and Isak signing a £1 a week contract

When would be the right time to sell for the club though? When his value is highest? That’s probably now.

Problem is where shopping with the big boys and getting blown out the water on wages. We need to be shopping in Europe it’s where our best business in terms of 1st team ready players has been done. Honestly think where wasting our time dealing with PL clubs, all of them will push the price up when we come knocking and happy to string us along.

We shouldn't be selling him!

Selling him at the right time for the club is paramount. Sell at the apex of his value and we could unlock PSR for a trans-formative amount. It will probably be next summer if he doesn't re-sign. He's never struck me as someone like Bruno who has completely fallen in love with NUFC. He will move on to a "better" club, but we should take full advantage of that move.

Coupled with the need to get stuff signed off by PIF means we’re one of the least agile back office teams in the PL.

I'd rather have him here and weekly rumours of him fucking off than him actually fucking off mind

Much like a lot of the comments on here!

ITK = In the KillMeNowClub with those two nuggets of intel at the end. £30m for the privilege of Alan Smith meandering around the pitch for 5 years.

You're talking about a tiny number of clubs that might be in the market for him at the price it would take. Wouldn't worry about it for at least another season. Even then, you need a perfect match of a team with £120m+ to spend on one player and no world class striker already playing for them.

You do realise in your scenario he could go to a premier club on a free?

Rather keep Isak and see him go £0 than ever sell him to a Prem side. He’s fun, and I want us to enjoy him and not another side, otherwise what’s the point in football.

As said before, I’m more concerned about us still not getting the CEO / DoF sorted out at this point rather than transfers. Nickson will be leading on that right now with Howe and others for signings, but the structure above is a huge void and has been for a while now.

As I've said many times , he won't be going anywhere this summer as no market exists at a price which would make sense for us. Next summer it will depend on if he resigns, if he doesn't we will have to part ways, id still expect between 100-120m though.

Yep - £150m is the starting point - holding midfielders unproven in the PL went for over £100m two years ago! I hope he’s here forever anyway!

I had ITK info that Keegan was coming back in 2008 Also had ITK info that Alan Smith and Rob Elliott (the keeper not the full back) were signing. However, those are the sort of moments when you wish you weren't an ITK

I'm certain he also shared a bunch of things weren't true. It's entirely possible he got one thing from someone and then tried to trade off that. Anyone can get ITK info once. I got something once myself, but I'll not get anything again.

If Wirtz is the best part of £120m, discussions for Isak don't start until you hit £150m for me. Acclimatised to the PL, plays a massive role for his country internationally, and has proven his natural goal scoring ability over and over again. All the above come at a price, and a hefty one at that.
