£10-15m seems a bit expensive at the moment. You'd expect a bit more end product for the amount of time he's had on the pitch.

How much??

Murphy ffs.

He's got a great drop of the shoulder, but hard to tell if he can actually produce something at the end of it. Hasn't quite got to that bit yet.

He makes James Bond look like a homeless pisshead tbh.

It's the least friendly friendly I've ever seen.

Murphy looked a bit pedestrian in comparison.

It's a bit spicy for a pre-season mind.

He's been run a close second by Krafth tbh.

Well let's see if we get two strikers in first, and then what they come up with.

Every fucker is pinching Isak's "explore options" line now. He's a trend setter.

They have only offered £110m. That's not a good deal and a long way from being close to one.

It's not that ludicrous. I think there is a price we sell Isak for, but until Liverpool come somewhere close, we could probably keep Isak for another season and sell next summer and still be in line with PSR. If we had got the top rated replacements like Sesko or Ekitike then maybe we would sell. But even then you need Liverpool to pay a reasonable fee for a world class striker.

Howe is a coach/manager, no one can blame him for looking at the Isak situation from the playing angle, that's his job. But the board have to look at the bigger picture and Newcastle Utd's financial structure. They can't throw a valuable asset out of the door to a rival because they are being played.

Shame it won't be. Pure fantasy stuff unfortunately.

Where?

With Isak on the sidelines until he requests to be put back in the playing squad with a promise of 100% commitment for the season.

After an initial offer

They wouldn't sell to us anyway, not a chance in Hell.

Ban for @Joelinton7 IMO

Liverpool still have to come up with an acceptable fee reflecting his status as one of the world's best strikers, regardless of what Howe thinks.

It's why I'm watching what happens here until the window closes. I don't care if he refuses to train or hands in a transfer request. Unless Liverpool show they have the money it takes then he should be going nowhere. Keep him locked up in the reserves for all I care. I reckon he'll sharp see things differently once the window closes anyway.

He is top class as well. If you ignore the age he'll be in 2 years time, sides will fear coming up against him. I know I was always wary when we played them, he scored a screamer against us iirc.

I know absolutely zilch about him tbh, but I want him anyway.
