I prefer this lad over Wissa cause of a likely higher resale value and cause he hasn't gone on strike like Wissa has.

I'm not even sure they want to buy him. Maybe they were just trying to weaken us.

Is this a credible source?

Haha just offering a suggestion. I want him gone and for us to sign a striker or two before next week.

Clubs may be telling us that their strikers are not for sale (e.g., Larsen) cause they don't have time to find a replacement. We could offer them Isak on loan for a season.

Can we send Isak on loan to some other club and have them sell us one of their strikers?

We need to do something indeed. Not sure how Man City is getting away with it.

Maybe we should have taken the £120M? Not sure if we will manage to sell him this week.

Good point. Although for a big game like this, Botman may have been a safer choice.

Give him some time. Not sure why Botman wasn't brought on instead.

Yeah, and doesn't look clumsy like Willock, so that's another plus.

I think he needs to have a good season and a good world cup next summer for that to happen.

It's a world cup year, so I'm not sure Isak would want to spend the season not playing.

We will likely be without two strikers who had 100+ Newcastle goals between them. Two new strikers should be the club's top priority. Hard to imagine getting results next season with Gordon and Osula up front.

Happy with this. Schar is aging and Lascelles will probably be allowed to leave next summer.

Sad that even being in the CL isn't guaranteeing to buy players or retain our top ones.

I guess football isn't just played on the pitch, but off the pitch too by weakening your opponents like what Liverpool is currently doing.

I wonder if Al-Hilal is related to our owners in any way, and whether they are trying to indirectly provide the funds to Liverpool to pay £150M for Isak.

Haven't been watching the game. Everything okay with Botman? Saw that he may have been subbed off.

Seems to have a demonstrated track record of achieving success at his prior roles.

Didn't watch the game. Anything notable about Hernes or Neave?

With us being in the CL, Longstaff leaving, and inevitable injuries, I can see Miley play 25+ games next season.

Best of luck to him. Are we getting a replacement?

Age is still on his side. I'm hoping he can either rediscover his form after a proper pre-season, or we sell him for some money.
