NE27 Posted July 27, 2025 Share Posted July 27, 2025 Aye what exactly are people achieving pretending to be an nufc fan whilst pushing a pro-lfc rhetoric? Go and circle-jerk isak on RAWK if you can't at least be up front man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted July 27, 2025 Share Posted July 27, 2025 I actually think £150m is a low figure tbh. Was surprised when that figure got bandied about. He's an absolute unicorn of a player who is proven at the very highest level in a position that is becoming increasingly sparse in quality. You pay double for being premier league proven, then you pay a premium on top of that for how rare a player they are. Isak is about as rare as it gets.

Skeletor Posted July 27, 2025 Share Posted July 27, 2025 Pretty crappy behaviour by him. However if Brentford made him a promise he could leave for £26m this summer then that's a problem of their own making... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably should have not gone against them as this is what happens when you mess we ith truly great legacy teams.

You pay double for being premier league proven, then you pay a premium on top of that for how rare a player they are. Isak is about as rare as it gets. I know transfer fees don’t work like this and it’s a bit reductive. But Rice for £105m or whatever it was. Enzo and Caicedo around £100m. Both a couple of seasons back, weren’t they? Prices are still going up, no?! Even if the market seems less active and clubs are restricted more because of PSR. It does then feel like Isak with 3 years left on his deal. Should be going for more than £130-140m. Even if he wants out. It’s only really his fitness record that can be questioned. But then I also think some of that is down to our managing of him and not having a back up who is fit for most of his time here. As others have said. There are intangibles with him and stuff that won’t appear on any stats sheet. He just has that swagger and unpredictability to his game that has regularly caused world class centre backs to look like Sunday league players.

Can't take people seriously when their arguments are this fallacious. If ASM was sold on the cheap we would have had higher offers from other clubs around the world. We didn't even get any close to what the Saudis offered, otherwise he would probably have stayed in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazeT44 Posted July 27, 2025 Share Posted July 27, 2025 (edited) Appreciate it's "easy to say now" but I've never been attached to Isak in the same way I am Schar, Bruno, Murphy, Big Joe, ASM or Tonali etc. He's given us some great goals and given us some moments I'm incredibly thankful for, but I've never felt the same 'connection'. Gordon is another. Perhaps a little harsh, but forums are for opinions no matter how controversial Edited July 27, 2025 by BlazeT44 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a little harsh, but forums are for opinions no matter how controversial Same, there's a sense of needing to show our ambition to keep them with some players that others don't have as much. Botman is another. I don't mind it tbh, because I have that ambition too and it comes with the territory, but it does make you keep them a bit more at arm's length for when the club fails to match it and this happens.

For those that know me a little, when I came up to the Newcastle Online league cup final watch party, I said if we won I'd get a shirt with the game winner on the back. When we won, I couldn't bring myself to get one with Isak printed, so went with BDB. Glad I made that call now... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
