Fuck, Eddie makes my dick diamonds. He's 100% correct, he and his coaching team alongside good investment and a fervent fanbase has done absolutely nobody any harm, and has even lifted players previously going nowhere, to unthinkable heights. Well said that man.

Desperate I'd currently agree with. We've clearly liked the lad for a while and we seem to keep going back to players previously scouted. Not sure what the craic with Como was, but it's obviously kicked our transfer team up the arse.

Why's that?

I think we would've been shopping in that market regardless of isak blindsiding us no? I certainly expected/hoped we would move on a striker, and of the ekitike ilk also. Dunno, maybe I'm being naive.

He's not held hostage, other than to a contract that he signed. We know in football they're not worth the paper they're written on, but if he seen nufc as a stepping stone then he very much should've reiterated that and allowed us the stronger bargaining tools in the market to get as high a fee as possible. I don't think £150m is an unreasonable amount, it's not like we are pricing him out of the move entirely.

I mean, judging by the players we have been rejected by they don't look terrible?

Scouse fans whining on Reddit about us holding him hostage, and how we are damaging our reputation to other potential signings. Here's a fucking idea, don't sign a big contract without verbalising or having it stitched into the contract you wish to leave within a couple of years? I honestly believe we would begrudgingly accept he's going as long as a value we feel is apt is met and he made the club well aware, hell, I had come to expect this next summer in any case. We need big money from big players when it comes to them going, yet isak is actively fucking us over to get what he wants, tough fucking tits mate.

Not again...

Eddie Howe has had to leave the door ajar for potential reintegration whilst also making sure Alex knows he can't act the bairn and there's no repercussions. Best EH can do with a shit situation and the chance of us finding decent cover actually happening.

He doesn't want to be here, no amount of money will change that now so I honestly don't see the benefit for us at all? And honestly, couldn't give a flying fuck if he's happy now considering the state he has helped put us in (yes it's not all on him) Not having a go at you btw, just properly fucked off with this and us having to compromise

Do we need to pay him anything more? Surely we can get around 110-120 next summer still?

Poor wittle Alex being ostracised from the club who he's quite happily fucking over to the point we are scrabbling around an already meagre market getting quoted ridiculous money for shite. And on that last part, we have the press actively trying to reduce nufc's price for isak like we are being shan, just fuck off man

Player doesn't WANT nufc, nufc will have to OVERPAY to get Malick

Barely a peep from them about Ashley, but that Ayoze fucking Perez cunt! I'm not angry, more disillusioned and wanting answers from what has been (at least currently) a very amateur summer window from the club.

Guess for the likes of Liverpool they can unsettle a player with their interest and then capitalise on that situation.

Yeah go on isak/agent, deliver the final blow to our lifeless corpse you wankers.

Only ever wanted Man Utd. Glad we didn't waste loads of time and resource on this one with that in mind

And ready the transfer toaster

Don't worry about it buddy, tomorrow is a new day.... ...to be publicly ridiculed for being rejected by Jackson.

Could that feasibly leave the atmosphere?

You get yourself back on that market and find another player to publicly humiliate yourself
