Alexander Isak - C*nt (resting his glass bones so he can get properly injured at the world cup)

[Turnbull2000]

Fucking hell, even if we get £150m, it's still going to hurt when Liverpool reveal him this week.

 

The club are basically lying at this point, are they not? Isak has clearly been told we're willing sellers.

We let him stay at home as he wanted to leave. Of course we'll sell him. PIF can fuck right off.

Grim, anyone but them man 

[KDT]

Has anyone actually found it when they search because I can’t. 

[gdm]

I’m beginning to hate this prick more than Michael Owen

So I find most of these opinions rather condescending and biased. Sell isak to Liverpool, its your coutinho moment! All teams sell blah blah.  Pay the 150 plus and you can have Isak. 

 

Keep seeing this.

 

What about this is your Grealish moment?

 

Didn't work out for Villa, their PSR is as much a joke as anyone. 

 

They'll likely soon need another super sale, like Rogers.

Nope. Not for rent on Rightmove

[On the Grid]

Someone on the wind-up here like?

[Kimbo]

Yeah I can’t find it either.

[ponsaelius]

If his house is already up for rent then he's surely already gone?

[Andy84]

It’s probably not on Rightmove because it’s already been taken 

[Bunk Moreland]

It was definitely on Rightmove earlier as I was looking at the listing

 

Here's the dead link:https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/137157125 

 

Saying "This property has been removed by the agent". Not sure if that's more or less suspicious

Maybe he’s buying a new place with his big new contract

Again with this bloody agent ffs.

[Minhosa]

The Agent has withdrawn it, presumably following a swift kick in the bollocks by somebody or other, but it was 100% on earlier today.

 

Was listed yesterday.

 

And is 100% his house.

If we sell to Liverpool for less than 150m and without a replacement then, all I will be able to do is laugh. Would require such an absurd level of bad decisíon making/incompetence. 

[gallowghoul]

Stay or go, it's highly likely he is moving house after the robbery. Wouldnt read anything into it

I'm sure we'll get someone in. It's whether it's an emergency contract for DCL or a Sesko.

I've been an unashamed superfan of Rory Smith for years now (though I think he's gradually died up his arse a little bit, the more he's featured on mainstream stuff) and his takes are always interesting and thoughtful. 

 

He's absolutely right that selling a star isn't the end of the world. I was prepared to see us sell Bruno for megabucks this time last year, on the basis that it might fund growth. I'm pretty sure I'll have used the Coutinho example, as he does there, when debating it on here.

 

However - in the context of Isak - making the case for selling to fund growth is pure strawman. Even moreso is harping on about how PSR saves the wider football network from more state-funded success. That's not the point. Plenty of Newcastle fans wouldn't want that either. The point is, PSR makes the playing field uneven and this potential deal - after they've already invested unholy amounts into their attack - highlights that issue perfectly.

 

He's got a blind spot when it comes to PSR, probably entirely accountable to the fact he supports Liverpool.

Most Liverpool fans have that blind spot. They view their astronomical wage bill as a an output of their success, and not an input to their success.

 

They see PSR as a solution to state funding doping that would create an uneven playing field, whilst also supporting the fact that PSR creates a defacto wage cap that allows them to have a squad cost that dwarfs 80 percent of their competitors. 

 

In truth they are no different to most football fans - they create a set of morals and guidelines that are entirely aligned with their own clubs interests.

Yep - this is it.

 

That's what I was saying earlier about it not being what you'd expect a £150m star to be living in.

 

By contrast, Wilson and Dan Burn are very close to this place and their houses are beautiful.

 

I'd assume Wilsons is available now too just not being marketed publicly.

They probably just got absolutely spammed with enquiries

Well it makes sense if they are lying, if everyone knew he was a goner for a record fee it would make negotiations for replacements hard.
