ponsaelius Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 Our transfer policy of targeting more high profile 'sure things' to enhance the starting XI was probably in part dictated by our desire to keep him and prove a certain level of ambition. What a mess given the way that has backfired and we have been unable to sign almost anybody. Chances are he was as probably gonna try and leave anyway given it's largely down to the level of salary he could receive elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have had Ekitike as a replacement, probably should have checked at the time if Isak wanted to go. How? Liverpool were always getting him.

Erikse Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 (edited) Wouldn't be surprised if he would be less injured elsewhere. We demand a lot from our striker. Obviously the top clubs would be able to sub him out when necessary aswell. Doesn't change the fact that his injuries were a problem for us at times, mind.

bobbydazzla Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 (edited) People split up all the time, it happens. Such is life But refusing to go anywhere with your current girlfriend whilst sitting on the sofa at home sending dick pics to one of her pals that you fancy would be considered very unacceptable behaviour And the strong suspicion is that Isak’s got his pants round his ankles and phone in hand right now Edited July 24, 2025 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not long ago Torres, Suarez, Alonso, Coutinho etc were moving on to other things from Liverpool. We'll replace him and sign others. what are you on about?

It's just games and negotiation tactics and we fall foul to it. The selling club like to save face. For months, the reports said Ekitike will only be sold for €100m. The actual figure is way less. Bayer and Liverpool reported different figures for Wirtz. What I'm saying is all of that is just noise. Both sides want to look smart. Liverpool will have more than £200m once they sell Diaz, Nunez, Chiesa, Elliott, Doak and Morton. They will bid more than £130m with add-ons.

ponsaelius Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 (edited) Personally I'd get Wissa in ASAP and continue focusing on other targets and positions. It's not ideal but given Isak and Wilson's fitness problems last season in the interim we at least have a PL ready CF to start the season and we're not substantially worse off. Dig heals in on Isak, play everything with straight bat, and say he's not being sold this summer under any circumstances. Keep contract offer (up to 200-220k) on the table with an achievable release clause next summer. The optics of selling him to Liverpool this summer are abysmal and go far beyond the short term.

Yep I reckon his head must have been turned even then , clearly wasn't injured as he's had no surgery or anything this summer . He was probably hoping we didn't get champions league to make it easier for him to leave . Edited July 24, 2025 by Geogaddi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 I'm getting Andy Cole vibes of misery when he went AWOL before the Wimbledon game. Thought keegan had sorted it, only for him to be sold the following season. Probably best to let him go then have any negativity spread across the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
