Kid Icarus

Sold arguably the best striker in the world for £125m in a market where Yoanne fucking Wissa and Jorgen Strand-Larsen are £60-70m each.

The profit from him is going to be immediately spent too.

The red flags have been on display throughout like. Clubs that aren't going to sell their player don't scramble around trying to replace them. Bunch of fucking clowns.

I'll never ever be able to wrap my head around how the club has acted throughout all of this. Never. It's absolutely fucking insane.

I'm going to have to limit myself to Newcastle matches when they're on and that's it. Liverpool matches and all the content around this utter vermin is going to be too maddening and I'd end up doing crimes

...to Saudi

They clearly haven't got a fuxking clue about certain aspects of football. Like the absolute insanity of selling your star player to a domestic rival. Top clubs simply don't do that and they're seemingly completely fucking oblivious.

They absolutely don't. As many of us have been saying for months, there are countless examples of players in the same position as Isak with the same furore and money involved who've been told no, you're not going on your terms.

You're missing my point. Their worth as players and their circumstances don't matter, how they acted is nigh on identical, how their clubs - both of who had power - responded, is night and day

I mean look at this man. This is what we're going in for? Spending 50% of the fee on 50% the player, 29, afcon locked, with the same toxic traits Or a player who's literally not for sale

I don't think the time matters tbh, Wissa's been acting out for weeks, not training, deleting social media posts etc.

Wissa put out a post today mate. The difference is Brentford have held firm. We offered a contract to someone with 3 years left and sold him under value, Brentford offered him nothing and told him he's not for sale.

That's utter nonsense in loads of ways.

And we have to fucking see him playing for them ffs.

And yet look at Wissa. Isak had 3 years on his contract and no PSR breach deadline, everything else was noise

All that pandering bollocks Howe and Bruno had to come out with, presumably to hold Isak's value, only for the club to drop it £25m themselves. Howe may as well have called him a cunt.

Honestly, Liverpool, Isak and his agent knew something no one else did and I suspected it throughout this. How they knew i don't know though.

I've barely left this thread for weeks. The idea that people were wholesale saying we had to just get rid of him is utter bollocks. Everyone wants rid of him, I'd be staggered if the majority wanted rid of him on his terms, £25m under asking price, to Liverpool, with no replacement. No one wanted that.

I didn't ask

You and Heron both saying this now. I didn't respond to Heron because I didn't want to keep quoting him, bit this is utter, utter bollocks. I can't really put it any other way.

I just don't buy this at all. Now or in 12 months time Isak is still one of the best strikers around. Brentford and Wolves understand the value in standing firm, we've folded despite having an incredibly strong hand. This is a major turning point with PIF.

It would take it from a -10 move to a -5 rating. All of the stupidity of the move is bad enough, but my pride will never be able to take it. The owners letting the club be disrespected and then disrespecting it themselves is unforgiveable in my eyes.

Never ever forget that yes, Isak's been a cunt, but the club didn't need to do this AT ALL.

£25m discount to a supposed domestic rival, then going into the market on the last day with £130m in your pocket. It's breathtakingly braindead

It's hard to even put into words how much we've facilitated another club fucking us over. We really are Reek in Game of Thrones like - slaves to someone that castrated us
