Off to the reserves with ye. For the first time since the option was brought up I am thinking he might just wait until the 27th and pull the article 17 shenanigans, and hope Liverpool will just wait on him. Given he won't even put in a transfer request as it will cost him his loyalty bonus, what makes you think he can and will pay 18m+ to end his contract?

Clearly cares more about not losing his loyalty bonus or burning bridges more than actually leaving. I hope if and when we do entertain a sale, the pre-requisite is for him to hand in a request. Would've reduced bridge burning had he submitted one. The proper way is like Kane the year he finally left (not the first go round) - sit down at the end of the season, tell them you want out and to let the auction commence. In the meantime you train like any professional and say all the right things. Edited August 12, 2025 by Pandamninator Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I agree that he is paid by Isak and the player has to accept some responsibility, we are clearly dealing with an absolute shark here, the agent might have mob connections for all we know. So I would still leave the door open for Isak to reintegrate once the window closes and the agent has to back off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill up our squad gaps with 3 or 4 players from a Barcelona or Real Madrid or even PSG. PSG: Donnarumma, Lee Kangin, Ramos, Barcola Barca: Christensen, Der Stegen, Lewa, etc not sure who they would Let go RM: Lunin, Guler, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz Endrick on loan etc You are obsessed with making completely unrealistic lists that would never work due to our wage structure/wages to turnover % Sorry, not having a go But every thread I seem to see some FM type list of a load of players for fees way lower than what they would go for and/or well out of our wage range.

Displayname Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 7 minutes ago, Pandamninator said: So your solution is to reward him and give him everything himself and Liverpool want entirely on their terms? Brilliant. My love for Newcastle is so much bigger than my hate for Liverpool. And I don't think we will get ripped off at all if we sell him for around £130m. Considering I don't want to see him play for us ever again, the alternative of us not selling him is going to be so fucking bad for us. We don't have the means to replace him without getting money from his sale. If we could sell him to someone else I would ofcourse prefer that.

Kid Icarus Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 The final don't back down double down move of a desperate fool. It should only strengthen our resolve to tell him he's not going.

BennyBlanco Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 That’s absolutely disgraceful. I had a glimmer of hope we’d be able to smooth things over with him but his behaviour has been awful here. Fuck the little cunt into the reserves for 3 years.

Mattoon Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 I hope that in their arrogance that Liverpool put in a deadline day bid for Isak and get brutally rebuffed and on 2nd September Ekitike rips both his hammys to shreds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 (edited) I hope there's not a single person who still thinks "just get rid" now. This should have backed all of us, including the club, into a corner where the only thing to do is come out swinging. No club in the world can allow a player to go on like this and have their behaviour vindicated and seen to be. If we sell him now we want shot with shit.

The most important thing is to get replacements in regardless of the money tbh. If we don’t, we’re in a very weak position next summer as I can’t see many players wanting to hang around without Europe. We’re not qualifying for a major competition without a striker and with the squad depth as it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
