Leaves enough leeway to allow players and fans to give him another chance. If he wants one. Think it’s pretty smart if we’re absolutely annihilating him behind the scenes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiesteve710 Posted August 1, 2025 Share Posted August 1, 2025 (edited) 5 minutes ago, gdm said: You are remembering it wrong. Shearer almost went ti Liverpool (allegedly) when Robson was manager (2003) not Gullit This was my recollection too, although there's nothing to say he wasn't tempted during the Gullit era as well. I might be mistemembering it as well, but wasn't it Robson that was trying to sell Shearer to Liverpool after we signed Kluivert then Shearer went to Fat Fred kicking off/cryarseing (delete as applicable) about it and FS then went and over-ruled/undermined (ditto) Robson and refused to sanction the sale. I've drunk a lot of pints since then so I might have got that completely wrong mind. Edited August 1, 2025 by geordiesteve710 . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted August 1, 2025 Share Posted August 1, 2025 Isak needs to apologize to his teammates and coaches who believed in him. He can pay us back by getting above 25 goals in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GideonShandy Posted August 1, 2025 Share Posted August 1, 2025 21 minutes ago, Ben said: Agree, plus Isak deserves a pay rise £300k is what a player like him deserves He doesn't deserve shit at this point. He'll be gone after this coming season anyway. Hold him to his current contract until then. He won't sign any new deal that goes beyond the three years left on his present one. We shouldn't reward him for disrespecting the club by upping his wages, just because we're afraid he won't give 100% otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted August 1, 2025 Share Posted August 1, 2025 5 minutes ago, Conjo said: What rumblings? 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.

Stifler Posted August 1, 2025 Share Posted August 1, 2025 9 minutes ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: But it’s not really ironic, we didn’t sell him to Liverpool. He didn’t say no player should ever want to leave their club. And also, instead of throwing his toys out the pram, he used Liverpools interest in him to get the club to sack Gullit, then he sacked Liverpool off.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 1, 2025 Share Posted August 1, 2025 Wasn't it more than Robson thought it was good business to sell Shearer and wanted to go with Kluivert and Bellamy as his front 2? Shepherd blocked it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted August 1, 2025 Share Posted August 1, 2025 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Ben said: That Twitter post mentioned Owen. My Point still stands. Shearer didn’t mention anything about his own loyalty. He was talking strictly as a fan, and what the club should do. There was neither anything wrong, nor hypocritical about his comments. What is wrong is that a barbarian colonial like me has to point out how certain words in the English language should be used correctly (if that commenter is English of course). *unless I didn’t see the full quotes of course Edited August 1, 2025 by Vinny Green Balls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted August 1, 2025 Share Posted August 1, 2025 2 minutes ago, KaKa said: 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? The bid just feels like a 'we tried' bid to appease Isak's camp more than anything. Reckon they don't want to burn bridges in case they go back in for him in the future. It's always came across that they don't want him as desperately as he wants them. They were never going to pay the £150m after Ekitike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell was the point of the £110 million bid that has now made them look completely stupid? They either don't want him as much as everyone thought they did, or they're trying to get him to kick up even more of a fuss at a bid actually being rejected, so a follow up bid of £120m looks more lucrative than it would have before.
