Yeah this deal is done. Players always get their way it seems

I agree, the deciding factor in the story here is Isak throwing a hissy fit. If isak remained professional we wouldn't have sold him this summer.

Spurs knew they could bring him back, and they could afford to lose money then. What about us? Can we even bring Isak back? I don't think so. And are we in a good spot financially? Nope. Spurs could take the loss, but we can't, sadly.

Did they miss a whole preseason and 3 epl games or did they just miss a couple of training sessions?

Look, Suarez was training and playing, but Isak wasn't. Same with Kane and the others. They all acted up, but they still played and trained. Isak completely cut ties with Newcastle. He didn't train or play. We're three games in, and he's not even on the bench. Comparing that to others who threw a fit but still played is just wrong. When that meeting on Monday didn't go well, it was over. Like I said, if the club thought they could bring him back, he'd stay. Him leaving shows there was no way back for him.

I don't agree. Isak's actions this summer prove that even if he'd extended his contract last year, you'd have pulled this move this summer or next if a big team came knocking. Let's stop the finger-pointing. It's obvious Isak wouldn't have been sold if he hadn't caused a fuss. Once he refused to play and sign a new contract, it was clear what was going to happen. This sucks for us fans, but it's the best thing for the club, especially Eddie and that the most important thing. As i mentioned earlier. If the club and Eddie felt they could reintegrate him into the team they would have kept him. Selling him shows there was no hope at all for that.

Dude, Isak went on strike all summer. He didn't even play a preseason game, and Eddie had to deal with questions about him constantly. You think we could've kept him if we didn't get a big transfer fee? Once Isak threw a fit, we weren't getting 150. It's too soon to say if Wolves or Brentford will get this or that, or if selling for 130 and getting Wissa and Nick is a bad move. These kinds of opinions usually dont age well, especially with Eddie running things.

Its a no brainer for me and the best option. He will lead the line well for us.

He will probably score 15 plus goals for us this season.

Its easy for us fans to say keep him, let him rot. What of Eddie who has to deal with the situation everyday and every press conference? How about the other players? If we could not reintegrate him, he had to be sold.

I reckon it all boiled down to one thing, right? Could Eddie get him back in the team? If not, that's probably why he was sold. No point having a player dragging the team down for a few months, with Eddie having to answer questions about him in every press conference and all that. It'll mess with the team. Remember, Isak didn't want to be here, so just take the money and let him go. Let's get a new forward now, and we'll be in a good spot to smash the season.

I fully expect Wissa will be sold today. He is not staying at Brentford this season. You cant keep an unhappy player at the club. Its untenable.

I think Wissa gets done at about 40/50. Good forward who will score goals. Giving big Nick time to settle. Brentford won't keep him, just like we couldn't keep Isak. Player power always wins.

Basically, if the club thinks we can reintegrate him, he's staying. If not, he's gone. I think thats where we at imo.

Anyone got those links to read the article?

Hope has already said a bid over 120 gets it done.

The call has been made then. Come get Isak for 130m.

Have we called Liverpool to make a bid yet?

How did Liverpool pay 116 for wirtz? He is too weak for this league. Not suitable at all for this league.

I think they blew most of the Isak budget on Ekitike and also they dont need Isak, they see him as a market opportunity. However their fans say Wirtz is a generational talent 🤣

Isak staying and an out of the blue midfielder signing

Ornstein said on skysports that Liverpool doesn't plan on bidding because they think their official offer of 110 is enough, maybe going up to 120 like their first informal offer. They're gonna wait for us to come to them. I hope we dont open the door for them. I pray Eddie feels he can reintegrate him..

They are businessmen. Sometimes in business you cut your loses and move on. Especially if the position is untenable.

Okay, so if Isak goes for like 120 or so, that's the end of it, right? If not, Eddie's gonna get grilled about Isak at every press conference, and everyone will be saying we messed up, and that isak maintains his position. I reckon we won't totally fall apart if we think we can get Isak back in the team. But if the club thinks there's no chance of that, I reckon we'll take an offer of 120/30.

That's the main thing, right? Can Eddie get Isak back in the team? If not, we'll take the cheap offer, but if he can, then Isak stays. Liverpool won't pay more, and they won't bid against themselves. It's all on us, I think. Do we actually think we can get Isak back on track? I am positive that reintegration means new contract, I dont think it will work out if that doesnt happen.
