Like Tino and Hall?

Jackson would be the ultimate Eddie project. I’d like to see it.

Howe was talking about Ramsey as our player before the game on TNT. He explained what he will add to the squad.

Fair enough. But that’s what I was replying about. I’d trust Eddie Howe to do what’s best for the club.

If Eddie Howe thinks it’s worth selling him because we do get a strong enough replacement, yes. That would be on our terms. Being worried about ridicule from Twitter and TikTok gobshites means nothing. People were laughing at us for signing Dan Burn. How did that work out? I understand your point, but there aren’t many players who will behave like Isak has done.

Of course it’s bigger than Isak. That’s the point. If it’s better for the team because we can get a first choice striker in, of good enough quality in Eddies mind, then we do it. Isak is done at Newcastle.

Who gives a fuck about ridicule?! 😂 Just cutting off your nose to spite your face. If we get a good enough replacement get rid.

Isak could apologise tonight and he wouldn’t be playing next week. He’s not played in months and been training in his own.

There hasn’t been a huge drop in quality down our ‘choices’ though. You also don’t know if we’ve just been bidding when given encouragement or an opportunity has arose. There’s nothing to say he’d have been 6th choice if we’d been given an option to pick who we want. I doubt Pedro was higher up our list than Ekitike for example despite going for him first.

I think Wissa’s situation is a bit different to Isak’s mind. It seems like he did actually have an agreement with the club that he could leave for a CL club. He’s nearly 29 so it’s probably his last chance, and he’s had a health scare which I know can change your outlook. The manager also left along with 2 of their best players. I’m not saying his behaviour is ideal, but it’s a long way from what Isak is doing.

Why would it be confining us to him for the foreseeable? There’s nothing to say you don’t sign another striker next summer. There’s also a chance he finally lives up to his potential under a manager who is known for improving players. If Arsenal aren’t too proud to sign a player from Chelsea I’m not sure we should be.

I think it makes sense personally. Talk of a replacement has gone quiet and the option of him staying has gotten louder. He’s pushing the issue. I don’t agree with it, but the club still need to pull their finger out. We’re not getting like for like clearly, but we need at least two strikers in regardless.

The most important thing is to get replacements in regardless of the money tbh. If we don’t, we’re in a very weak position next summer as I can’t see many players wanting to hang around without Europe. We’re not qualifying for a major competition without a striker and with the squad depth as it is.

There’s another tweet on that same Anfield account where Isaks stance is to refuse to integrate himself again or sign a new deal, until it’s certain Liverpool won’t be coming back. Honestly if true, send the cunt away on loan to Turkey or something.

To be fair, this is how some of the mid-table PSR cockriders act.

Surely the agent will tell us the release clause, rather than us facing Leicester to find out conditions over the weekend. 🐌

Not sure having 1 striker who wants to be here is a great idea. It may be ruthless towards Isak, but not great for the club or dressing room.

I’d sign him. He’s young enough and admired enough to get most of your money back if it doesn’t work. There aren’t a huge amount of options.

To be honest, I don’t think getting the midfielder should a huge difficulty. I’d actually be happy with Paqueta, Gallagher or McGinn, understanding they’re all a bit different and that McGinn would temporary. I’m happy with our starting three and we need another option or two who will be reliable fitness wise.

Paqueta would be a great signing. Was never that bothered about him until we played them on that Monday night last season. Thought he was the best player on the park that night by quite a bit.

Could we not just send him on loan abroad to a CL team? Almaty or something.

Yeah Dan Burn was a little bit error prone and seemed to zone out on occasion when he joined. Turned out pretty well in the end. It’s easier to solve than lack of ability or few good attributes.

A little bit silly getting annoyed by a signing like this. Our current CBs were £3.5m and Dan Burn who turned into a club legend. Said it before, but we need a number of defenders over the next few windows.

Were we not after Wissa before Ekitike. I’m starting to lose track of everything despite very little getting done.

Guehi is going to Liverpool clearly and all a bid would do is flush them out and embarrass us again. We’ve no idea about Scalvini. We need quite a few defenders in over the next few windows and they can’t all be superstars.
