He is 100% a cunt, but the exact words he says is actually ”I don’t want to tear that open again” so there is a difference from not wanting to dwell on it I think.

Yep. He'd ditch Liverpool tomorrow if he got a double your offer from Madrid or PSG. We need to stop taking it personally. It might have worked out better for us anyway, we got close enough to his peak value probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure. How much money does he need? Surely if you're getting £125k a week then you go to £250k you can't suddenly think oh I can get that dream car I always wanted or that big posh house, or we can shoot off to the Carribean next summer. Everything he wanted was already comfortably in his reach. He wanted for nothing financially. And his next contract here had he wanted to stay would have pretty much doubled what he was on. I could understand him wanting to move for sporting reasons more. Liverpool are a bigger club. They are serial trophy winners. He has more chance of realising his sporting dreams with them than he has us. That's just the reality. I've no problem with that and for those reasons I would have had no problem at all with him declaring his interest in speaking to them when their interest became apparent. Players move from club to club. That's football. The issue was the way he went about it. We gave him his back chance in England on the back of a pretty poor season at Sociedad when let's face it we hardly had any competition for his signature. We gave him the platform and gave him everything he needed to be arguably the most sought after striker in World football and look at how he repaid us. Went on strike and bad mouthed the bloke that gave him everything. Basically called him a liar just to try to justify his own disgusting actions. He's clearly a cunt of a human being, that much is evident. Makes it even more sweeter that him and his new team look absolutely shite since he signed for them whilst his replacement is banging them in, looks absolute quality and a top bloke as well. Hopefully once Wissa is fit he hits the ground running like big Nick has whilst the rat continues to flounder. That's the perfect scenario now.

lovejoy Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 There was always something disengaged about Isak, always. He seems the same with Liverpool, 'it's nice'. Clearly just ow he is. He'll soon be forgotten here for that reason imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it is what made him what he was for us. edit: he won’t be forgotten, mind - he’s still possibly the best centre forward I’ve seen at NUFC, and ultimately scored the winner in a cup final which I’d waited my entire 40-odd years to see.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 That's true but there are different ways to manage your career and different ways to leave. Because of how he left I now think of him as a rat, that will always be my overriding feeling about him now. Of course he did some good things for us before he became a rat.

gbandit Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 Him being a bubonic plague rat does nothing to take away from that cup final.

But I do think there’s a much better chance that Wotlemade (for example) will be remembered more fondly than Isak, just because of his character and the way he comes across and engages with people (early days, I know) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he's playing for Liverpool I can't help but hate him, because that's the worst club he could have gone to. Once he's done there and there's enough water under the bridge I'll be able to look back and enjoy the good memories. I really want to be thinking about Woltemade and Wissa now, don't want to think about Liverpool wankers at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, I always saw his goal mostly through Murphy's header - boyhood fan who was so close to getting deservedly drummed out, who turns his career around and helps win the club's first competition in over half a century via a header that he normally almost never competes for and wins.

Yorkie Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 My emotions towards him have never really changed; through the saga and to now. It's just sadness, jilted-ness and disappointment rather than hate. And I find his apparent emotionlessness a bit odd, despite my understanding of footballers' motivations. He disrespected the club right at the very end of his time here but prior to that he was an incredible striker and a massive part of the best team in my lifetime. It's not really what you want to hear but the players being somewhat unmoved by it all does discharge the need to hate a wee bit. Appreciate this might sound a bit contrarian; I wouldn't knock anyone for hating his guts. He's just, for me, got a lot more credit in the bank than the likes of Owen for instance.

I always found his emotionless demeanour a bit odd even when he was here, but I accepted it seemed to a part of his make up and maybe his success as a striker as well. I never really bought the line that our fans adored him, I think they much prefer hearts on their sleeves characters like Bruno and Joelinton. We did well in his time here, now he's moved on and so have we. That's it for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted October 10, 2025 Share Posted October 10, 2025 Think I'm in a minority here that really isn't bothered by him now as I wasn't that enamoured with him when he was here, I've said before often against the grain that he wasn't that good. Yes, with us he was probably only behind Haaland in the league. But still below Shearer and Ferdinand for me as outright strikers, and if his touches on the ball are Beardsley-reminiscent, well Woltemade is better in that regard too. Everything was set up at Newcastle to get the best out of Isak and made him look better than he was in my opinion, there's a limit to how well a player does who's essentially only a finisher and it's how a team is set up with how many eggs in that tactical basket. I think Isak at Newcastle is loosely like Foden at Man City, works extremely well in the respective systems but outside them it just doesn't work so well. And I think £130m is a fantastic price for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
