You've convinced me. After everything he's done this summer, leaving it late in the window to say he wants away, pretty much forcing us to take significantly less than market value, leaving us in the shit with all the other big name strikers already signed up, refusing to train and refusing to ever play for us again, I'll give him a fist bump, a 5 second cuddle and sit down with him for a cuppa and some hobnobs.

Isnake.

We should have approached him. Missed opportunity there.

I don't think there is anybody that could be classed in highest quality bracket. So whoever we get for anywhere between 20-45 million is a risk that could potentially be either bang average or fucking brilliant. So let's start listing potential names. Vangelis Pavlidis of Benfica is 26 and pretty prolific. Would go for around 30 million. The fee is guesswork because anybody we try for will no doubt have their value inflated due to Saudi tax, Isak tax and desperation. Oihan Sancet of Bilbao. We could get Perez back. Sorloth would be great but he'd be expensive for a guy nearing 30. Ante Budimer, cheap but old. Lorenzo Lucca, young ,potential etc Moise Keane Lookman. Emmanuel Emegha Georges Mikautadze Sem Steijn of Feyenoord. 23 and is down as a midfielder but he bangs in loads of goals. Partick Shick Loads of strikers out there,we just need to take a chance. There is also Samu. For the record, Forrest just bought who I would've picked. Bargain n a half is Kalimuendo.

Football died when the terracing vanished, and players started earning more than half a million a year. Respect for managers diminished and (at the top of Football anyway) many players have lost motivation due to them being rich before their career even starts. Season tickets cost more than the average mortgage and the 'steak' in the pies is mystery meat. On the bright side however, keepers can't pick up a passback anymore, and Donald Trump is a Chelsea legend. Which is nice.

I prefer Bumnal to Male utd, I hope that Gyokeres works out for them.

Forest looked very good. The 3rd goal was fabulous. The weight and perfection of that needle point through ballmajestic.

Fair enough guv. Are we in agreement over the need for another striker though?

What's this obsession with Harvey fucking Elliott? He's bang average.

Here it is, courtesy of Google. Saudi Arabia Offer: Isak is reported to have rejected a substantial offer from a Saudi Arabian club, potentially worth £600,000 a week (tax-free).

I'm sure I remember reading he'd turned down a huge money offer from Saudi around a month ago. I might have dreamt it though.

It's gonna be a sticky few weeks either way. We get Wissa hopefully without any hassle but we still need another to cover Isnake. Samu, Vangelis Pavlidis or Clayton, all from the Portuguese league. Emmanuel Emegha from Strasbourg? The players we've brought in have cost significantly less than our main wishlist players so we've got some money to play about with. Plus we'll have the Isnake money in a year (please 🙏 don't cave this year and sell him to Purgatorypool for less than he's worth). What could we get in a year with still 2 years on his contract? Could be just over 100 million or it could be higher if a few big clubs come to the bidding table next time. It's all a headfuck.

I wouldn't give him the number 9 shirt. He's essentially our Wilson replacement. We do need another striker now due to all this Isnake nonsense. I don't want to sell him to Shittypool but in that a case we still need to replace him. He may change his mind about not playing but we cant take the risk, so, who will be our other striker? We've missed Kalimeundo who would have been great at 25 million, Samu is a tad expensive unless we do the unthinkable Snakepool thing. Or can we spend reasonable big with the fact that Isnake is off next summer? How about Vangelis Pavlidis or Clayton, both from the Portuguese league?

Er......no.

A country full of beautiful sociopaths.

Forest are already scoring for fun and this guy isn't even through the door yet. Sigh.

We cant force him to go anywhere, why dont people understand that? He's already turned down more 600 million tax free from a Saudi club. He wants Liverpool, end of story. That might change next year if we hang onto him and other big clubs find the money next year,but at the moment we either undersell to 'them' or we hang onto him in the hope that he changes his mind about playing. Either way hes totally fucked us. We could just sign Wissa if Isak decided to play, but more likely is we need 2 new strikers. Its guaranteed though that if we fork out on a second striker the cunt will say 'I've changed my mind,and am fully committed to playing'. I fucking hate the greedy principle free needle dicked cretin.

Wissa never was an Isak replacement though,he was an upgrade on Wilson. So signing Wissa changes nothing in regards to Isak. If we'd managed to snag a Pedro or etiketoktiki it would be different, but we didn't so its status quo.

The only notable thing Sweden has ever done was stopping its forced sterilisation crap. It only took them until 1975 mind. Horrible country.

We can't force him to go anywhere in the same way that he can't force us to sell him. A player is essentially a tool that is used to do a job. We've paid for 3 years to use that tool so we have to get him back in the team and scoring goals for 1 year at least. Then and only then may we allow him to leave. I believe that once he fully realises that the Liverpool deal isn't happening he'll screw his head on properly and play. It'll be awkward and whatnot,but he's not murdered or raped anybody (to my knowledge),he's just been a disloyal cry baby twat. I can get over that if I know he'll be gone next year, I'm sure the club and teammates will feel the same.

Kalimeundo for 25 is a fucking bargain. I'm not going to mention him again.

He scored just as i read this comment. Spooky.

I think R n R will give 3 or 4 seasons of trying before they sell the club. They'll leave them in good hands though as they really do care about the club and the city.

I dont want him to go to Liverpool full stop. A quarter billion and I'd still be upset. No amount of money is worth the ridicule we'll receive whenever we play them. Petty,yes. Spiteful, yes. I'm firmly in the 'let him rot for a year if he doesn't want to play'. He owes us one more season of 20 odd goals.

Isak's going home in a scouse limousine.
