I reckon people are overthinking it. They're picking apart every word like there's some hidden meaning, you know? I watched the whole thing, and honestly, I don't see anything to get worked up about. Think he made some comments that was unnecessary. Understand that footballers careers are short. "At this moment" he is sure that he will travel to Asia. Left Isak home because of transfer speculation. It all just adds fuel to the speculation imo. Nothing wrong with the comments, just unnecessary..

The 4 minute clip? That's not the whole thing. Some of the reported comments aren't there at least. Eddie very rarely says something he doesn't mean to say. Think the quotes on Isak are strange. Farewell sweet prince kind of strange.. Or maybe he's just tired of dealing with scummy agents and disinterested players but I was kinda hoping he'd embrace being in charge of transfers this summer. Ah well, full support from me.. I'm sure he's doing his best. Unlike the directors at the club. Edited July 19, 2025 by junkhead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I read the other comments from Ben Jacobs and all those guys, and I still think people are overthinking it and dissecting every little thing. You can totally twist things if you look at it like that, but anyway, like I said, I don't see anything wrong with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 All very strange , Isak defo off if we don’t sort a new huge bumper contract and a few decent signings to help show our ambition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 Isak is currently being paid 2.5 less than he could be with a move to another club. Of course he is unsettled. If you were elite at your job, you would want to be paid what your worth. I think Eddie saying it’s a short career also eludes to the fact that he is underpaid at the moment.

aussiemag Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 I don’t see how Liverpool can afford him after signing Ekitike. I think this all. Has to do with accelerating his new contract with a release clause inserted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 Football is the longest career going in the UK. Happy to die on that hill. Get paid before a teenager. 20-30yrs as a footballer.

They've got three senior center-backs right now, and they'll have to replace Diaz if they sell him. Plus, they wouldn't sign Ekitike if they could get Isak. It's one or the other for them. That wage bill is gonna be insane. If they get both and sign a CB plus a replacement for Diaz. I dont see that happening myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want him to stay, we need to give him a new contract that is more in line with his worth. He’ll never get £300k a week here, but he’s worth more than he’s on , and that’ll annoy him.

Tonali's gonna be around that too very soon. We gotta bump up our wage structure a bit, or we will constantly be picked off by other clubs who pay bigger wages.

Like us they hadn’t bought anyone for 3 windows and they’ll got well over £150m back for this 4 players.

Liverpool's moved on from Isak for this summer atleast I think. It's just us, the fans and social media, keeping that rumor going. All for clicks and likes, I guess. We'll see what happens this week, maybe they'll actually finish up the Ekitike deal, which everyone's saying is basically done. Or pivot back to Isak. I highly doubt they go for both.

Kanj Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 Honestly it fucking kills me how people don’t understand the concept that he’s earned a bumper. It’s done in every fucking sport across the world and it’s done by many many clubs across football and particularly when you have one of the best players in his position in the world. It’s 2025 not 1992 football. Love it or hate it that is football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
