Thanks Alex, you’ve just united a very frustrated city and completely ruined your legacy here in one moment of brilliance.

Also as much as I care about our feelings as fans (sorry Wor Flags) I actually made peace that footballers will break our hearts at some point. My bigger issue is how his teammates and manager have had to disrupt their own pre season and potential season because this player felt he was too big for this. The likes Burn, Hall, Bruno, Fab, Miley, Tino, Tonali et al were all looking forward to a brilliant season where they also played as big of a part as Isak did and he’s forcing them to potentially not have a real go at it. He was here when Tonali went down for gambling and when we had a historic injury crisis, and yet his own personal ambition is to leave like this in this manner meant more than to just do it the right way like any other player under contract.

I’ve gone through many stages of emotions during this entire Isak saga and think I’ve firmly landed on the fact that we must hold our position and show Isak and broader footballing world that this unprofessional behavior should never be rewarded. Happy to take a short term football hit on the pitch to continue to hammer that point. Football decisions like this should never be made upon the back drop of a PSR accounting, fuck that. Sell him for pounds less than the offer previously submitted. The smallest time of thinking would do a deal with Liverpool to please the striker who has insulted us the fans and the everyone at the club who helped play a hand in his rise to the top of football. And yes, that’s also accepting some Liverpool player we never wanted anyway to fill the squad. Thats absolutley naff footballing decisions.

would have. Past tense. Had we signed a proper replacement.

I’m really happy we finally spoke up and spoke out about this. This has gone on too long.

its been said by a million online journos we've offered him multiple contracts this summer and he's rejected all of them. Not even sure that is true. Also, FWIW we probably have all of mitch's emails. we had all of ashworth;s.

Looks like the internet is not taking kindly to this.

Why did this have to happen with our best player.

within 30 days

Who fucking cares if he was promised something by someone who is there or isn't there? It doesn't matter. You are contracted to do your job and that is play football. You play football for the club until you are sold to another team. You are only sold to another team when an offer comes in that makes sense for the club that holds your registration.

And some people want the fans to be nice to him for that?

See above.

Isak has a lass?

No big deal, but Sels was our player and Wood our player. that's also fucking mad.

In the PFA team of the year and can't celebrate that achievement because of his unprofessionalism.

also shows how many more have gone for 50m+ and a point ive made all summer that our time to do biz was last summer but fuck PSR

a properly balanced recap tbh.

Nickson doesn't do any scouting?

Anderson should be our Bruno replacement? He's absolutely brilliant and could easily play LCM or RCM. His work on the right side on Sunday was nothing short of excellent.

If Pedro gets hurt in Jan, they will probably just try and sign a Pedro replacement and leave Delap on the bench.

our private jet expenses this summer have been wild

This is why I'm very curious to hear what this supposed other side of the story is - we'd have gotten wind long before the random kick-off of madness a month ago.

first off, if the move doesn’t happen, he is then reintegrated we need to see whatever PR nonsense or statements come out. Secondly, he’s going to obv need to make amends with Eddie and the squad. If that is genuine, we will find out. And finally, the fans have every right to make whatever statement or noise towards him - it’s our football club not his. Ignoring the behavior and sweeping it under a rug is the opposite of how you’re supposed to handle this. He will deserve whatever reaction he gets, again, and then I think the fanbase needs to move on and support the entire squad - whoever Eddie picks.

Speaking of Krafth, wonder how annoyed he is with Alex.

To Paula Cole’s where have all the cowboys gone: Where is Alexander Isak? Where is his magic touch? Where is his up front partner? Where have all the strikers gone? Where have all the strikers gone? Where have all the strikers gone?
