The much maligned Geordie Journos said the club was ready to announce something 3 weeks ago as well.
That being said, they also said we'd sourced a new training ground
The question I ask myself is will we be challenging for the title next season? And I think it's a clear no. Isak has to know he's got the ability to be playing at the top and he's done his bit for us.
With him either extending with a release clause or having just 2 years left a market will exist next summer for him.
My concern about keeping Cal is the potential connotations that comes with it.
It means we may not have the budget/allocating the budget elsewhere rather than replacing him.
It also means we Flog Isak again.
Let's see what the rest of the window brings.
Can see why Mitchell ran now
Jokes aside, he's obviously a good player, but he won't come cheap and as others have mentioned im not sure he's going to be cracking those packed defenses which is something we do suck at.
