Colos Short and Curlies

It's been said before but he is basically Remy now. Could and should have been a legend but will not feature in a NUFC top 5 premier league striker discussion in 5 years time unless there is the mother of all redemptions

At his height you'd expect that tbh

Booking for Bruno tbh. He's got no business putting his feet in-between a Liverpool players legs when they are lying on the floor

I wonder what his contract says about loans, on that can he refuse to go? I'd imagine young players have a clause that allows the club to place them anywhere for a period of up to 12 months at a time You'd also imagine that senior players contracts are at best silent on this, potentially fix the location as being contracted club without agreement to go. If it's silent then I guess we could force him out to Turkey or Saudi for a year. Save us £5m of wages and a nice loan fee to go a replacement

Wouldn't do it tonight, maybe not even tomorrow morning. There will be plenty who would usually say keep but would hit sell after tonight's game, before changing their minds again after the emotions leave I'm one of them!

As an aside look at the difference in the celebrations. Tells a story

Off to fucking Turkey. We don't need him of the last 2 games are the barometer. We need a striker who will bust a gut in the box

Don't know if it's the emotions after that but he was static for the first and third goals. If it was a cup game next id be all for Ramsdale coming in bit possibly an overreaction for a league game unless Howe sees Ramsdale as his number 1 and is just waiting for the time to pull the trigger

Had to stop the kids getting some fantastic fake Isak 14 shirts earlier. If he signs I'll have to nip back down and pick em up 🤣

Bet he's not as good as Nigel Fucking Benn was. Saw him on Falaraki '99. Great bloke, had an arm wrestle with him. Think I won, but I was very, very drunk! The poor guy was trying to tell people that his set was US House music based. He had one hell of a lisp. Then crashed and burned trying to get a shag at the end of the night.

Had lunch in the Hard Rock in Playa de last America's earlier and thunderstruck came on. That and the number of Scouse accents polluting the place has me bang up for this now

Announce it in the 20th minute

It's not just throwing a hissy fit though, it seems pretty much true that Amanda (probably rightly) at least heavily suggested a new contract for summer 24 which didn't materialise (or to be more factually we just turned around and said no), then we (again rightly) put a value on Isak that puts him in the elite bracket of player. Put aside the behaviour and a new contract this summer would absolutely have been the right thing to do. Making good on that with a clause - and I like June as it falls in a PSR period, gives the summer to replace and next summer is a WC year which complicates the transfer window - is a pragmatic decision for the club. Big caveat here though, it needs to be incentive driven to get the top wedge even with a potentially lower release fee of we qualify for CL again and the real big one on that there has to be an environment when Eddie and the lads will welcome him back in after a contrite apology

Osimhen moved permanently to Turkey over the summer so he's out.

After a sleep his statement does seem targeted towards the exec team with the only comments on the playing squad and fans being to thank them. Put that together with the last couple of lines in the clubs statement and you can see a way back in for him. Best solution for me atm would be to get around the table and agree a new 5 year deal with a small pay bump and massive bonus potential with a release clause that is active in each June of the contract. Then its on the bench for Monday and we look to bring in a Jackson on a loan with obligation (subject to criteria being met in the season) and just make the best of it

Was looking forward to watching this in Tenerife on Monday, not sure the Liverpool fans will be bearable now. But then when Schar strides forward to chip Allisson for number 5 their reactions will be worth it

Not arguing or disagreeing that the club potentially dropped the ball over the past 6-9 months on a contract but I'm sure that if a contract had been given last summer at say £200k a week we'd still be here as he's looking for £300k a week.

I'm leaning more to Jackson than Wissa now. Preferably with a wildcard from overseas to be the second option, France or Italy seem safer bets for transitioning to the Premier League. And yes I'd look at Mitro for a bench option or as I've said before Vipotnik from Swansea as a younger version who I'd back to be more than a solid premier league striker on the right environment. Edit and Isak goes to Turkey or the Middle East on loan

I'm not sure, the sentence on a change being the best thing is pretty much him saying I want to leave. And it's on writing Unless of course the contracts specify the exact form that the request needs to be made in of course. Transfers are strange things, something like this hasn't been tested (afaik) and a lot of common practice in the football arena does seem to be legally challengeable

Surely this behaviour is a defacto transfer request. I'd like to see the club withhold any amounts due for loyalty bonuses etc when he is sold and let the cunt sue us and test it in court. I was all for reintegration before tonight but there is no chance now

He could just claim stress and needing time away to sort himself out. You know and I know that this would be bollocks but we also know that from a legal pov it would hold up and be a valid reason to be away from work

Love the way he would just needlessly do a thunderbastard of a shot from a few yards out. Never played the nee blasties rule did wor Hatem

Is AFCON every 2 years? Feels odd having it in a WC year, must put a massive strain on the African players and how do they fit in qualifying?

I look at it as being 3 points up on last season as I expect the final league to have either Newcastle then Villa or Villa then Newcastle. So we're 3 points better off in that little battle already
