Difference is; he and Isak may be twats but at least he wants to play for us.

Isak. Who the fuck is Isak?

May the Toon God be with us today, after what they did to us last time out.

Given what our season might well be, after all this disruption, Sandro is going to be pivotal.

Both still operate very well as long as they get periods stood down.

That's what Isak’s agent is hoping for. When Wizzy arrives, we’ve got to make him feel he’s here for his own sake. He’s not a stand-in; not a replacement. Given the opportunity he craves, Knowing its his best chance, I think Eddie will make him shine.

If he stays, he'll come around. Not playing or giving his best would jeopardise his World Cup ambitions and Champions League exposure. So, not bothered if he sulks; he has to perform for his own sake.

Naive or not, all this speculation could be ended by a very quick statement from him. “All this speculation is exactly that. I have never said anything to the press and statements attributed to me are untrue. “ This would have no bearing on what happens next but it might, just might, act like Vaseline as he eases out the club, or, begins his rehabilitation within the club. Problem is, the Rat bastard has said nothing in any sense or direction. That’s a condemnation as it goes and doesn’t help his case one way or the other.

Has he definitely said he will not play for NUFC again? If so he’s going to miss out on the World Cup and Champions league football. I’d he prepared for that? Challenge accepted.

Don’t understand the negativity about this lad. Eddie fancies him. He’s young but international standard already - And he’s actually fucking here!

FFS! Not again. Even when he's referred to as DCL it looks like an injury.

First prize to Bimps, paraphrasing "Airplane" lines. Good one.

Gallagher. Impressions?

Whatever occurs, it has to be for the benefit of NUFC ultimately. If it means he's blocked and must stay, however, I don't see any upside having a World class striker on the books, so disgruntled and angry; who just won't try and knows he'll spend most of his days benched. The fans will give him dogs abuse ( counterproductive but entirely natural) who wins? Even if we manage to salvage cover for the striking roles, fact remains one of the greatest talents to grace NUFC has left. Whether he's here or not.

They might graciously step aside for us. whether or not he's some replacement for whoever, we have to get him. The only fucker that wants to come.

This entire situation, no matter how it turns out, its down to him. With his actions we want into fight or flight, refused by our top picks and more scrapping for 6 th or 7 th choices. Even if he stays, its fucked us all up. Surely the top prospects, in considering us must think, Hmm. Champions league football at the least, Shiny new trophy; what the hell does he want to leave for? What's going on? Also, our transfer team are dishevelled. When advising players of the project, Eddie should have been there, with permission. He personally sells all. What should have been a bright, wonderful season is now in salvage and its all down to the way Isak went about it.

I’m really surprised this wasn’t done and dusted before now.

I wonder how he feels being 6th or 7th choice? No thanks btw.

Why do we still have a Transfer Rumours Thread?

I'm very surprised this wasn't sorted this afternoon; he's obviously been sitting by his window waiting the nod that appeared in the morning.

Its reported he could stay with Leipzig. so that makes us option Three.

At this very moment, I feel a bit more optimistic than this morning. We knew first thing this morning Man U put their bid in. We also “knew” he’s leaving towards Man U. I would have expected this finalised long before 5 pm, according to his decision. But nothing! Leipzig are ok with the deals but the silence is deafening. could it be the lad’s giving it serious thought?

Man U bid in. Just waiting his decision; don't hold your breath lads.

If he does go; if he’s got to go, don’t argue this structure shit—money up front - all of it. See how keen they are then.
