It's because of clubs like Liverpool that PSR is such a thing, which is stopping us giving Isak the wages his profile deserves now or signing the players to convince him he can achieve all of his goals here. 

True but that dosnt give Isak the right to act the twat . Is ways of going about getting a transfer and he has done it all wrong and shown zero respect to the club or fans .

The club/Howe have let him do that. He should have been told to get on the tour, and if he didn't, then he would be fined. Absolutely nonsensical this didn't happen

Aside from visibly forcing him onto a plane if he says he's injured and isn't going then how can they make him? He probably won't care about being fined when he is getting his 300k a week at Liverpool.

You then fine him as I said. It was reported that he had been cleared in his check up

would the point not be to avoid any disruption among the team & keep any new tactics away from what could prove to be a potential rival player?

We really need to make a stand on whether we are keeping Isak or not because lack of clarity affects the price. If we take the plunge and buy two strikers to cover our bases, then Liverpool know we have to sell and that lowers the price. 

 

Even buying one striker depends on whether we are keeping Isak or replacing him. You can sort of see why we are stuck between two stools at the moment. 

[Collage]

Winning the league cup is fine and well, but a player like Isak wants league titles and chance at winning the CL. He sees what we all see, that this ”project” has slowed down. Add that he was promised a new contract that Mitchell then dismissed. Unfortunately it’s not hard to see a player like Isak in his prime wanting to leave this club at this time. It’s just infuriating if it’s Liverpool.

If we get two we could sell, but we don't have to sell.

BBC article is tabloid esque showing how Liverpool would fit him

How on gods green earth can you consider it's slowed down, we've just had our best season in living memory, we're way ahead of the curve.

 

If anything is going to possibly slow us down it's Isak himself, more of a derailment than a slow down tbh.

dunno about the bbc but in fairness there were plenty articles and pieces showing how we would fit Isak and Ekitike im sure.

Thanks to Eddie Howe and the players. The wider project has slowed to the point it’s stalled

We are lucky Howe is a very good manager.

 

We have no CEO, no sporting director after loosing 2 the last years.

 

No stadium update, no training facility update.

 

So far no real «purple» signings to match Isaks ambitions.

If you do not see that we are loosing momentum off the field you either don’t want or are naive.

We haven’t been able to make the signings we want, obviously. This summer being the most obvious example. We don’t even have a sporting director in place.

In the real world that's not likely. Do you really see a scenario where we have all three on our books?

[Displayname]

Think Isak wanting to leave has more to do with Liverpool than Newcastle tbh.

Looking at it objectively its hard to deny that it's a really attractive destination atm.

Just because someone gives you a little rope doesn’t mean you should be a twat. It’s like blaming your parents for your own mistakes in life.

Let's hope they win fuck all

[christ]

I wonder if there’s something going on behind the scenes in tandem with the transfer speculation?
 

Bruno made that odd comment about him going through a hard time, the kid gloves approach Howe and the club appear to have taking to dealing with what looks like unprofessional behaviour, him (allegedly) fucking back off to Sweden. The entire thing feels very off.

Personally, all I care about is results on the field and we've exceeded anything in my lifetime (and I'm old).

 

As for "purples" we tried but got gazumped by the cartel, not a lot we can do about that.

 

Stadium/training centre are major infrastructure projects and take a lot of time to progress. The only people getting regular updates will be the board/shareholders anyone working on it will be under cast iron NDA's. I also suspect the new CEO will want some input and sign off given he's resposible for delivering strategy/vision. What Eales might have thought was a great idea, the new guy might not, and he'll be responsible for delivering it.

 

We've been doubling our commercial revenue year on year, don't know about yr end 25 numbers yet, that's progress.

 

Preposterous to say otherwise given the external constraints placed upon us.

Or lots of people are desperately searching for an alternative narrative because the reality of the position is so unpalatable.

I reckon it's about his pay, he's seriously underpaid. He's our best player, but he doesn't get the most money. We should've doubled his wage last season, and we wouldn't be in this mess.

 

All the clubs knew Newcastle wouldn't sell Isak unless it was a crazy offer. Romano, Ornstein, all of them said Newcastle would be tough to deal with for Isak.

 

Instead, they went to Isak and said he's one of the best in the world. They offered him a wage to match his status. 300k a week.

 

Of course, his head will have been turned.

 

The golden rule in business is to protect your investment, no matter what. We didn't do that last summer, huge mistake.

 

If Man United bids 150 for him and offers him 350k, he's gone, I reckon. 

 

So, if we don't sell him, and pay him what he deserves, he'll sign.

Eddie said it's up to the board now to figure out what to do with Isak. 

Let's see how if Isak really is Yasir's favourite player.

From NUFC fan sites or the odd YouTube tactics blogger, not the UK’s supposedly impartial broadcaster.

Well no, but look who we're losing out to, if it was Everton/Fulham etc. I'd see grounds for being pissed off, but it's not and I don't. Disappointed aye.
