It was such a bad judgement alone that he should be nowhere near transfer under any circumstances. Even if didn’t want him. Just the fact that he didn’t stop the idea of him. Covered every base there 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isak contributed massively to 2 CL qualifications and the cup trophy. Then when he threw a tantrum we banked twice the transfer fee that we paid. I'd say that's a pretty damn good outcome, even considering that he was a cunt who forced a move in the end. I wonder what we would have achieved if we didn't make that signing out of concern of being used as a stepping stone. The issue is how we wasted all the money that we got for him.. Now who's being untrue... Edit: sorry, mixed you up with TCD there. Anyway. This isn't true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I’ll rephrase from identified to wanted, or at least was keen to have. Suggesting Eddie, or any manager for that matter, should have no say in transfers is silly IMO and saying it based on one single transfer alone, is borderline idiotic.

Well, if we reinvested them well, then that just strengthens my initial point anyways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of how you rate the replacement, we're not functioning in a basic net spend environment. I don't know the specifics but the fee recouped for Isak has implications across future windows; we've not 'blown it all' on Wissa and Woltemade. Both of whom could and probably will improve, hopefully considerably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isak is a cunt, but the signing itself was massively beneficial to us. If that's what we would get from our next "stepping stone" signing, then I'd take that all day long.

Isak is a cunt, but the signing itself was massively beneficial to us. If that's the outcome of the next "stepping stone" signing, then I'd take that all day long. I'm broadly with you on that. Maybe not quite as coldly , because at the end of the day, I'm in it for the feels, and I don't like to see players I like go. But, for instance, I'd mentally found myself at peace with a Bruno departure in summer 2024, which thankfully never happened. But it is one of the reasons why I don't share the same disdain for Isak as others (not that I blame anyone). It was an absolutely incredible signing and the pros do still outweigh the cons of how he manufactured his departure. I've lost almost all affection for him, of course.

Surely, despite all that’s gone on, his behaviour, and the contempt most now view him with, no one thinks we should never have signed him in the first place?
