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

Lads, you are kidding yourself if you think that he wont score loads. 

 

It’s their other 100m+ signing that is the one they should worry about. 

Unless I’m mistaken Isak was a slow starter for us in new seasons? I too have no doubt he’ll hit top form eventually

Hindsight and all that.

 

 

Definitely worked out that way, and even though I was dead against it at the time, I had no idea that Isak wanted Liverpool so badly.

 

Someone at the club should have had a clue though.

Do you honestly believe that Liverpool were ever going to just step aside and let us sign Ekitike? They wanted both, and can afford to pay both three times what we can offer just one of them. Romano is a client journalist who posts shite like this for clubs and agents that pay him.

He didn't want to come and we were never going to get him. We've got plenty to regret, but not that

They proved that they can go for both and we'll accept it. Hindsight only really shows that it was wishful thinking for it to have gone any other way than it did. The club couldn't have been in a stronger position considering the circumstances, couldn't have had more motivation to not sell to Liverpool and still did it.

He is the type of player that needs to start games all the time to get the best out of him. He's gonna struggle if he's in and out of the side, can see a scenario we're he go's in a right huff and wants away by seasons end on loan. 😂 I hope we don't offer him a life line.

Nee chance, I bet Howe fucking hates him. 

[Menace]

There's some absolute copium on here like, the guy will do silly numbers at Liverpool, they'll probably move Ekitike left wing and play Isak upfront when he's fully fit.

[Norseman]

Let's enjoy it while it lasts, but I've no doubt he scores 20+ goals this season once he gets going.

But he hit form for us by playing loads, he’s clear back up to Etitike right now, so it’s a new change in his career. No longer a guaranteed starter which he has to adjust too and he may well not.

[heero]

At least its entertaining to see him sit on the bench.

[TRon]

It's lose-lose for me either way. If Ekitike keeps Isak out it will be delicious, but feels like they stole Ekitike from us as well. Need them both to fail really.

It wasn't wishful thinking that we sat Isak in the reserves. It was the only smart decision then and remains the best decision in hindsight. Whoever makes the decisions buckled at the last minute and it'll have long term consequences, but let's not pretend the club had to sell Isak. We had a choice of short-term or long-term focus and we took the former. 

[Andy84]

Neither will fail sadly, both top class and Ekitike could be even better. Can see why we wanted him

I think that's exactly what KI was saying. This whole affair has been the final straw for me like, Newcastle are just the first team whose score I look for now. Sad but

I don't think you're saying anything I disagree with like. The only difference is that for me it was all wishful thinking with hindsight because now we know that the club buckled, to use your word for it.

I doubt any ownership would make you happy tbh. 

[On the Grid]

What if it comes out officially that Eddie wanted him out due to bigger picture thinking, the fact he didn't want him around the rest of the squad...did Eddie buckle?

I've already said this is what I think happened. Howe makes the final decisions on players coming or going, we don't make any signings that don't meet his approval. His attitude changed towards Isak once he realised Isak wasn't fully invested and had no intention of buying in again. Even if we'd made him stay, we'd have had the same carry on in January. 

 

Howe wants players who give 100%, I'm convinced he'd have wanted Isak gone if it allowed him to buy a suitable replacement.
