Alexander Isak - International C*nt

[David Edgar]

We've been back in our place without as much as a wimper.

Fuck sake. Don't massively blame him if we're not offering a decent contract. 

If he wants £300k - he's basically forcing the clubs hand to sell him.  Honestly - how anyone can side with Isak on this is beyond me.

Isak is his own man - the right way is to say to Eddie I will stay one more season to give you time to re-built.  This is pathetic. 

 

I agree - just saying that I have no reason to expect loyalty from him or fairness from his agent

I still think he’ll stay largely because I’m not sure who is paying up. But this suddenly feels in play:

 

Sell

Isak for £140m

 

Buy

Guehi £55m

Gallagher £40m

Trafford £35m

TBD striker £50-60m

 

I wouldn't be against that, but as soon as we get £140m for Isak you can add £10m to all of those other fees. Plus it would take 4 windows to get those in.

Arsenal fans must be gutted that they've just spent 90m on Gyokeres

 

This is most baffling thing in the entire transfer window

Completely agree with this & with the risk of causing outrage. I think Eddie Howe just might want to see him sold as well. 

 

Think there's some truth to this. Provided someone meets that £150 million valuation.

 

We've been looking at a lot of strikers since the start of the year, many of who are the best young ones out there. I think preparations were being made for this scenario.

 

If this has all been going on in the background, it somewhat explains the slow progress in the transfer window to some degree. Probably been waiting to resolve this and see if a big fee comes in that would influence how we move in the market.

We need 2 strikers if we sell Isak

Just expect a bit of integrity from a player for a club who had revived his career to make him one of the most sought after strikers in the world.

We won't be getting 150 million, if he is pushing to leave.

No - he is worth 300k all day long, that is the going rate. 

So the infrastructure at the club is not quite right for the ambition it seems. 

Even Spurs could probably pay 300k for Kane when he was there even though they are low payers. 

This was an exception we should have taken. 

[Jordan]

We’ve left it far too late to sell now with the glacial speed we move off the field. The club is a shambles off the pitch, someone from PIF who can make a decision needs to be involved in the club on a day to day basis to speed up the decision making process.

Wissa will join soon. We're preparing our next offer of £25.25m

In an ideal world. That’s not the world we’re in anymore.

[gbandit]

Fuck this dogshit sport. It’s been on a fast track to ruin itself for decades. This is the final step to fuck me off out of the sport

He has three years left on his contract so we have the stronger hand to dictate the price.  Club just has to hold firm.

For Howe (right now) the fee is almost irrelevent. Anything north of 90million will create at least 200m in terms of PSR wiggle room

you think too highly of the youth of today. That mentaility is a dieing thing sadly, the worlds fucked not just sport.

I'm not siding with Isak, but if we are going to quote teams '£130m+' to sign him, essentially pricing him as the best player in the leauge, we can't turn around and get pissed off he/his agent feels that means he should get paid like one of the best players in the league.

So what's happening? Please enlighten us.

It's pretty obvious. He's been swayed. He wants out. He wants Newcastle to consider Liverpool's offer.

I think in the last week or so the Isak situation is likely why we’ve come to a standstill. We can’t really do anything until that’s resolved.

I don’t blame him. 
 

Would you stay at your company when you know a rival would offer 2-3x? Your company knows the your the man too. What have they been doing/thinking for the last 2 years?
