Alexander Isak - International C*nt

[Zero]

It’s guesswork, just like some here expect what will happen next

 

none of the journalist have connection re PIF / Yasir. Pretty sure about this.

There’s no point trying to explain how journalism works at this stage mate. Like talking to a brick wall 

Given what I do, and how I’ve interacted with journalists for the past 14 years, I have a pretty good understanding how journalism works. Yea, Hope clearly has sources within the club. But he has also sometimes mixed his own speculation with the facts and failed to make the distinction.It’s a very common engagement tactic, but I personally think it’s unethical because it puts sensationalism over news.  It favors narrative over reporting. And so you end up having sagas about everything.
 

But He does work for the Daily Mail, which is one rag that has peddled in yellow journalism for decades, and has valued engagement over reporting in that time. But in sports journalism over in the UK, it’s bog standard. I have an Italian buddy who is an F1 journalist, and says that it’s even worse over there, so I guess we should count ourselves lucky up to a point. The U.S. has some absolutely  terrible journalism, but when it comes to sports, we just don’t have this on that level, as Mike and Kanj pointed out.

Eddie man....you're the boss. If you tell him to train, he trains.

 

Coming across like he's letting this little prick walk all over him.

[tarie4]

I don't really trust Hope, even though @gdm and others do. He just gives his opinions on stuff. Like, he says we can't keep Isak if we get Sesko and Wissa. I reckon most Newcastle fans already know that – you don't need insider info to figure that out its obvious. If we sign a left winger for like, 30 million, we don't need "sources" to tell us either Barnes or AG10 is gone.

 

That video was just clickbait. Ever since the Isak thing, he's been pumping out these videos, and they're mostly just opinions. Most of the forum already figured that stuff out ages ago.

 

Yeah, Hope's probably the best reporter on nufc, but the competition wasn't exactly tough. So, nah, I don't think he's super reliable.

 

Insider information would say wissa is a Wilson replacement and sesko would be a Isak replacement, meaning if we sign sesko, isak is off regardless of Wissa. As Wissa is back up. 

 

You think Liverpool will wait for us to get Sesko and Brentford to get a striker so we can get Wissa before we sell Isak?

Bearing in mind they do need a forward whether its Isak or not. Nah. That was pure opinion and waffle from Hope.

 

 

[Vinny Green Balls]

Eddie can’t help but be cagey with nearly every answer. He probably is playing it safe after saying that he was sure that Isak would travel to Asia.

He's just too far removed from it all and letting other people in Newcastle deal with it.

And if the Daily Mail offered me 150 grand a year to report on even something non controversial like local parks, I’d tell them to go fuck themselves, because of what they represent. I question anyone who is ok with working at that yellow journalism cesspit.

All journalists and media outlets thrive on situations like this Isak one. It gives them the engagement they get paid for.

 

Even if this whole saga officially ended tomorrow, they wouldn't allow it too. They'd still pump out the same old shite to get that engagement.

Absolutely no chance he's leaving it to people back home. 

He'll know exactly what's going on.

Just a bit of advice, avoid the "Best of Alexander Isak" videos that pop up on youtube.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying Hope is 100% accurate and what he says is likely. What I said was my opinion of the situation based on the info we have (hope, Jacobs etc) and just got hit back with hope knows fuck all like he’s burnsie. We can only go off the info we are told then make an informed opinion. I believe if we sign Sesko & Wissa Isak will be sold. I hope I’m wrong in this instance.

And do what? The most he can do is fine him. If Isak doesn’t want to train he won’t. Deserves the shit he gets if it happens but EH can’t force him

I just watched the 5 minute Sky Sports one and feel close to having to crack open a bottle of Luke Edwards.

Probably, but it's a good diplomatic answer in that case. Why should he share any of that if he doesn't think it's beneficial to the club?

Your not wrong on that, we aint having Isak, wissa and sesko in the same squad.
