Jewel Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Talksport are saying Quansah and Joe Gomez could be used as makeweights in any deal to sign Isak. Maybe throw in Darwin Nunez as well. Nightmare scenario for me. I don't want any of those three, especially at the valuations Liverpool would put on them. Worryingly, we know Eddie is a big fan of Joe Gomez.

GeordieDazzler Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Isak is just engagement bait at this point. Unless someone is getting close to putting £150m down on the table nowt is happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way it “might” happen is if we don’t get CL and he decides he wants to go elsewhere, then we might be looking at a summer transfer. Even then tho I think he might give us another year given we’re bringing in new signings. Hes one of the best strikers in the world, there was always going to be loads of stuff from pundits, fans, people trying to unsettle him. Most of it is just noise but it’s going to get a lot lot worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 but for this thread I'd be completely unaware of any speculation surrounding his future it's all tabloidy made up bollocks anyway surprised anyone bothers watching ssn better off tuning out and just savouring his performances and comments about loving life at Newcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 3 hours ago, Dr Jinx said: I'd very much like it if he stayed here until he was into his 30's but we also need to be realistic. If we can't hold onto him then we need to sell when his value is at it's highest. Is that now or one more epic season? I think we can get 175m for him that would help the club massively. We're so dependent on him because our other options are so poor. If by selling him we can bring the averages up, it will soften the blow a bit. My gut feeling is one more season or.. if we end up top 4 then all that goes out the window. If it meant I could watch him in a black and white shirt for another three years, I'd let him walk for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Cardigan Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Ornstein reckons we’ll have little to no interest in any Isak player swaps but it could be a tactic by rival clubs to try and get the price down/tempt us. Blindingly obvious, but there you are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get used to it and be happy that he's under a long contract, and we'll be looking to give him a better one. We aren't looking to sell so not much other clubs or the press can do about it except stick their nose against the window and keep looking on in envy.

midds Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 In theory the next 5 seasons of Isak's career should be his absolute peak. He's already generally regarded as one of the top strikers in the world, is proven in multiple Leagues and is still getting better and better. I'm not surprised other huge clubs want him and would love to sign him, it's inevitable and he's bound to be in demand. That doesn't mean we can't turn down every bid that potentially comes in for him though, he's essentially priceless imo The only thing that changes things is if he's making noises about actually wanting a move away, that would mean we have to cash in but I think it's unlikely this summer and sincerely hope he signs a shiny, bumper new contract soon. He's magnificent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 It sounds like Yasir understands the boy is money and will help make the club what he wants it to be, so hopefully his underlings get it too. And hopefully promises of ludicrously overpriced post-retirement appearance fees are made so Isak doesn't feel like he's missing out on anything.

Unbelievable Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I say let them talk and write whatever they want. Isak is our player, seems to love life with us at the moment and is on a three year contract when this season finishes. All they are achieving is driving up our determination to keep hold of him and driving up the price level at which we may start entertaining a deal. In the end, whatever happens will benefit Newcastle United. My guess is he’ll want to wait what happens with CL qualification (this year and next) and squad strengthening over the summer before deciding on his future this time next season, whether by renewing or by indicating a willingness to move on at that stage. Should the latter happen, we would at least be able to fund the next stage of our squad rebuild and we’d still end up much better off for having (had) him.

The Prophet Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Only thing with that is, if he stays this summer and doesn't sign a new deal, he'll miss out on a fair chunk of change. A new contract with a release clause works for all parties. We retain him for at least another year. We get to guarantee a fixed transfer fee. He gets a pay rise. If him and his agent decide they want to move on, they know we can't price him out of a move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fak Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 He’s going nowhere and he’s getting a new deal here. No release clause either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
