thomas Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 (edited) imo he has to stay now just to spite the terminally unfucked greasy twats of other clubs enjoying the chaos on social media. Edited July 25, 2025 by thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 (edited) When i think about this situation, I keep coming back to the same thought, which im sure im not alone in thinking... It's all well and good people saying "its ok, let's just reinvest in the squad", but as it stands weve got money to spend and dont have a fucking clue how to do it. The club aren't going to change strategy when selling Isak, it will be more of the same. The only difference is that we will need 5 players in four weeks, instead of 4. If you cant get Wissa and Trafford over the line, what chance have you got replacing Isak? None. Edited July 25, 2025 by STM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 Feel like I've been a bit spoiled by getting more into NFL the past few years and the general loyalty star players have to their teams there (unless their team are absolute arse year after year).

Kooiman Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 A nice hot take. I think George Caulkin's piece does us a disservice as a fan base. It reaffirms this notion that we're emotionally over-invested and can't think rationally. We haven't expected Isak to stay here forever, nor do we think he's wrong for wanting more money. We're disappointed he's downed tools, weakening the club's position while being annoyed at the club for not handling this more efficiently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can send it in the right way as well. Ok we'll sell you but in our time, and at our price. No one is indispensable, but we can't be seen to be weak when we have the richest owners in the world.

Maybe invert the league payout table idk edit : 2 minutes ago, Mike said: Salary cap plays a big role in that. plays a much bigger role than the draft too.

mighty__mag Posted July 25, 2025 Share Posted July 25, 2025 Diaz to Bayern, then those scumbags will bid, I can literally hear Isak now, I'm so pleased to be here this is my dream club, fucking arsehole.

I'm at peace with him going now. It will be a blow to lose one of our truly world class players, but if we can get the deal done quickly and replace with a couple of exciting striker options like Wissa and Sesko, I will come to terms with it. But has to be on our terms otherwise he stays until next season whether he likes it or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His own words in May: “The attack on my home has left me with a sense of unease and I fear it could reoccur.” Moving to the North West is the worst place for footballers being burgled.
