Kid Icarus Posted July 30, 2025 Share Posted July 30, 2025 (edited) You have to remember that being a prick and burning his bridges is exactly the point like. It's a move rather than something personal. He's attempting to make himself so toxic that the idea of him coming back seems impossible. Players have done this countless times and come back, you have to brush it off otherwise you play into their hands, signal that it works, and end up an absolute pushover of a club.

And since its mainly about squad depth to last the season it doesn't hurt that bad that they come in late. Once we fully move on to lower class players that the bigger clubs aren't interested in, I'm pretty confident that we'll get deals done quickly. We are by far the biggest fish in that market. We will have bodies in by the close of the transfer window, they just won't necessarily be the bodies we wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted July 30, 2025 Share Posted July 30, 2025 (edited) Say he stays and has an awful season, plagued by a few injuries missing 2/3 weeks at a time and scores a minimum number of goals. What price do you think he would be this time next year? Edited July 30, 2025 by Scotty66 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Maxi would get hurt, Howe would let him travel back to France to recoup. Could see the club sanctioning it, telling him to get away and get his head cleared. Most interesting part is it's referencing that he's recovering from an injury... If he was in Newcastle, he'd be getting hounded by the press. Probably a sensible move.

Holloway Posted July 30, 2025 Share Posted July 30, 2025 We've seen the last of the Iceman in black and white, I'm not that fussed now ,he"s fucked it for me. But if you think we get north of 150 mill for him you're having a Steffi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe more, because clubs other than Liverpool will jump in for him. Teams will always overpay for this type of player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean there's absolute zero reason he couldn't be doing that at his current clubs training ground the wanker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted July 30, 2025 Share Posted July 30, 2025 Three reports today that he’s in Newcastle, in Sweden and in Spain. can we play a game of ‘where’s Isak?’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more he becomes a cunt about it the higher the fee goes. He's got 3 years to think about adjusting his attitude Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted July 30, 2025 Share Posted July 30, 2025 I wonder if there's any previous situations like this with YAR that will give us an indication of what he'll do here. I'm not even convinced that he'll have any involvement or cares tbh, but everything posters on here have posted about him suggests he's the exact opposite of a pushover.

robbo_11 Posted July 30, 2025 Share Posted July 30, 2025 18 minutes ago, BeloEmre said: He’s in Spain apparently. There is going to be fatigue until the beginning of September with this one. Whilst it offers new information about him being in Spain it also draws upon the news from Sky Germany where he has a verbal agreement on the same terms of Ekitike until 2031. Something isn't adding up as it suggests we value him at £170m, but the first offer from Liverpool was £115m due to a transfer request on the 24th. Real Sociedad apparently due 10% of the transfer. I think his agent is a **** like, the news is all adding up. We've been embarrassing this summer, the ownership are none existent and if they sanction him to leave without a replacement or two you'll see the squad capitulate. We still hold the cards regarding value, the media pressure is designed to get us to drop our demands. The current climate also means that any news is deemed worthy of getting reported as draws engagement. You'd love if it created some siege mentality, but I'd write off needing a 70,000 stadium if this is how we're going to operate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted July 30, 2025 Share Posted July 30, 2025 Regardless he should be training with the first team He’s not injured , scan all clear He’s checked out , not interested and wants more money Same as 99% of footballers , no loyalty and treats it as a job Try not to get too attached, Bruno and Joelinton srem to get it , they appear to love the club and area. The more players we can get/sign ….. that have that special connection the better I think that’s why we struggle with transfers as Eddie wants 100% commitment , in this day and age it’s a rarity Football is a strange thing, loyalty is virtually non existent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
