relámpago blanco Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 He's possibly the best striker in the world and in his prime. If we want to keep him we need to pay him accordingly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His comments have come about because a) he was sent home and b) after a conversation with howe on his future. mad ostrich behaviour to not acknowledge something is wrong Agreed - I’m trying best not to be a bed wetter.. but… why send him home? If he sits alongside Joelinton and Howe clarifies it’s game time afterwards, then scrutiny almost disappears. I’m just going to blindly trust Howe and keep confidence that Isak stays with us, despite logic not applying today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagPar Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 (edited) It's actually pretty childish and shallow when you think about. He's a young man that's already set for life, but he can't sit with his teammates because hes worried about getting more money from another club. He should think about people that are struggling to keep a roof over their heads, people that can't afford new school shoes for their kids. He's on a good contract and could pretty much pick the team he wants to play for. If his head is turned and he wants to leave, bugger off and leave then. Don't expect me to have any sympathy or empathy towards his 'troubling situation'. It's such a hard fucking life Alex is it not. If I'm wrong about this I'll hold my hands up and apologise.

Doesn’t explicitly say his heads been turned but says they mutually agreed he should go home, also Howe said it’s been difficult for him having to field questions on it and the last thing Isak wanted to was sit out watching the game.

His comments have come about because a) he was sent home and b) after a conversation with howe on his future. mad ostrich behaviour to not acknowledge something is wrong The context doesn’t really make much difference to my opinion because to me the context isn’t particularly clear. He was sent home because he wasn’t going to be playing anyway, and Eddie didn’t want the speculation around him to be a distraction? He was sent home because this week has been fucked up and has probably had a mental affect on him… doesn’t mean his “head has been turned” but maybe he would just benefit from being at home. I’m not seeing any definitive explanation to suggests his head has been turned. It’s a possibility sure, but so are numerous others. I’m not seeing any definitive explanation that suggests he wants away. I’m in the camp of appreciating the honesty from Eddie and still feeling optimistic that he stays (I know first hand how much he loves it here). My only qualm isn’t with Alex, but I have heard a few rumblings over the last few days about his agent kicking up all of this fuss for a bigger pay day (for them). I think and hope it will lead to a new contract offer from us. (That’s how I read the “careers are short quote”) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton7 Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 I really dislike his use of language sometimes. It’s not helpful at all. It’s not the first time he’s used the word “desperate” when speaking of keeping players at the club. The media have a field day with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not right in any context Was he “sent home” from Glasgow? Or did he just not travel to Glasgow from the training camp. Waugh doesn’t seem to think he travelled at all. None of it is ideal, but it’s not overly worrying to me. What can I tell you… I try to look for the positive rather than jumping to the worst possible scenario.

Zero Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 (edited) To be honest if I am Isak I would demand the club to give me a new contract or let me go. Just like what Howe said, footballer career is short and now since I am widely regarded as the best striker in the world, it’s the best time to get what I want. We probably have no choice but to give him a new contract, the only way to resolve the matter now Edited July 19, 2025 by Zero Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
