It's going to have Isak wondering what the fuck Liverpool are doing! Has to put some doubt in his head about the efforts they are making to actually sign him, especially after he's put himself in a tough spot with kicking up all this fuss. Just crazy. It will also make other players wary when then tap them up in future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violence is just a way to put grudges in cement. i refer to my anecdote as to how it should be approached. Bridges should not be burned at all. Correct. Bridges should be blown up with a horde of explosives while you piss on the faces of your enemies and smite them with your wrath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is no further Liverpool bid then the players leadership group need to have a chat with him about how that club has absolutely fucked him over.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 1, 2025 Share Posted August 1, 2025 Fucking mental all this, Liverpool obviously don't want him that much and now lots of our fans don't either. Best solution ship him off to Saudi for 200 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t give a fuck if he says sorry, as long as puts in 100% while he’s our player. I am basing this on the rumblings that some of his teammates are unhappy. I don't think he should apologize to the fans and there's almost no way that would land well anyway. But he needs to mend things with teammates if there is an issue.

And I wouldn’t blame Shearer at all. Gullitt was an absolutely brilliant player and talked a lot of sense as an analysis, but he was both fucking arrogant, and also probably didn’t ever realize that only generational players had his talent. Eddie Howe is a generational manager for us, and is a far far superior coach, tactician, man manager, and just a more self reflective person than Gullitt ever could be. And I worshipped Gullitt when I was growing up. oh shit that’s right. It was under Robson. But what does that have to do with Shearer’s comments? He I never mentioned loyalty or anything. Shearer’s point stands. The dude who commented back just demonstrated that he doesn’t know what ironic actually means.

KaKa Posted August 1, 2025 Share Posted August 1, 2025 33 minutes ago, Zero said: it’s different. Liverpool does have PSR headroom but they don’t have the cash on hand. They ain’t PIF. They need to raise funds by selling players first. They simply couldn’t offer that much upfront fees after Wirtz and Ekitike deals. Newcastle on the other hand is troubled by PSR headroom that even Newcastle has unlimited funds it’s limited by PSR. So if that's the case why not just wait till after selling more players and then just bid the £150 million. What the hell was the point of the £110 million bid that has now made them look completely stupid? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been one report indicating that some players had tried to convince him to stay, and that he didn't want to. Most likely bullshit. He shouldn't mend anything unless something factual comes out that he's been trying to engineer a move away. Not to players and especially not to feral fans who has spent the last week or two making up scenarios in their own heads where the situation has beccome progressively worse and worse without really knowing fuck all. If he starts the first game for us and nobody within the club (including himself) has said anything about him leaving, he deserves the benefit of the doubt and be cheered as any other of our players.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 1, 2025 Share Posted August 1, 2025 The club are very smart but also generous running this ‘he’s been badly advised’ line through Craig Hope. Leaves enough leeway to allow players and fans to give him another chance. If he wants one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
