Just seems weird to me that you can refuse to go on tour, refuse to play, train alone at a different club in a different country without permission and make it known in the press you’ll never play for the club again and you’ll still get loyalty bonuses but put in an arbitrary transfer request means you don’t get those bonuses

If that’s true he should never play for us again. It’s a shame we are so heavily reliant on him. All to play for, for a champions league place with 2 games to go and he’s going in agitating for a move. 2 games we lost btw. He’s an absolute cunt. It’s just a real shame he’ll go to Liverpool. 

As others keep pointing out. The same Ornstein that said on the final day. That Isak was staying, as we qualified for the CL? 
 

No other journos thought to run with this info at the end of the season? Him and his agent didn’t think to alert other clubs as well as Liverpool that he wants to leave? 

What a crock of shit. Isak trying to save face via the journos on his payroll.

I just flat out don't believe the story that he said he wanted out two weeks before the end of the season.

 

It seems to have magically appeared now right as things are starting to look bad for him, seems a very desperate attempt to justify acting like a complete cunt.

 

Football365 article (make of that what you will) said there was a gentleman's agreement in January. Who knows.

Because his contract says he gets a loyalty bonus provided he doesn't put in a transfer request. 

 

Standard for all players and has been forever.

I know that. That’s my point. It’s a bizzare clause

Does it really make him look better if it were true?

Absolutely no chance, it’s a retrofit story. The reality will have been that Isak will have said something much tamer like “I want to see a stronger team next year so we can challenge for silverware. I want to win the biggest trophies otherwise I’ll want a different club.” It will have been something clouded in that sort of language if it was anything at all and now it’s not comic out that it wasn’t even an ultimatum, he flat said he wanted to leave. Aye, well why didn’t your story break earlier you fucking worm

If that is true despite Epstein saying the opposite at the end of the season then that is an absolute cunts trick to say it before CL was secured.

Love it.

It's also strange that a player can go on strike indefinitely but only seemingly have his pay stopped for 6 weeks.

As Ive said before, the pendulum has swung too far and players ha e far too much power and takes far too much money out of the game.

Football365 are full of shite.

 

Last season pre Cup win they posted articles saying Howe was getting sacked, and Howe was getting a new contract.

 

Both were put out at the same time.

 

They haven't got a clue about anything.

I really hope we refuse to sign off on any transfer until he signs it - make Liverpool pick up the shortfall.

Would guess that would be 6 weeks at a time and if he continued after that period you could stop it for another 6 weeks?

Just to emphasise the retelling of history. Ornstein in May:

 

 

Just bumping up this tweet, by none other than David Ornstein, made on the very day Isak supposedly told the club (for the SECOND time), that he had wanted to leave.

 

It’s all lies, these latest ‘revelations’. The scoop of the end of the season, and he only tells us about it yesterday?

[Shadow Puppets]

Spoken to a lot of people over the last few days, some of which are extremely close to the goings on.

 

Main takeaways:

 

- Ignore the media and daily stories. It’s all agent / Liverpool talk. Very few things, if anything, are coming from Newcastle’s end.

 

- The stories about him wanting out / telling the club he wanted out before the season finished are bullshit. It was reiterated to me (I think I’ve mentioned this on here before) that Isak played a big part and was one of the main voices encouraging Elanga to join in late June. See his “heart” comments on Elanga’s Instagram at the time.

 

- The players want him gone. His behaviour has been far too disruptive, and he has burned a lot of bridges. He has lost a lot of respect within the squad, despite them opening the door to him a number of times, pre and post Korea.

How much money are we talking about that he is getting as a loyalty bonus?

[Kid Icarus]

Personally think Liverpool going in for Ekitike was the canon event for his behaviour.

 

Until then my guess is that he was going to go amicably if we got a replacement and our asking price and until then he was happy to tow the line.

 

Liverpool get Ekitike and he and his agent basically pressed the nuke button because not only did it stop us getting a replacement but it potentially gave Liverpool their alternative.

These fucking transfer grifters are a bigger cancer on football than Infantino.

But it's a wider problem with social media as a whole.  It's well up there with some of the worst things ever invented for the damage it has done to global society.

I think its six weeks for each offence. Going on strike for the season is one offence.

 

I'd like clarification  as Im sure it was mentioned a while back when someone else threatened similar to get a move.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong mate but if it's all shite why do the players want him gone?

Falsely withdrawing from the Celtic game - 6 weeks

Not being available to play against Arsenal on Far East Trip - 6 weeks

Not being available to play against K1 League All Stars on Far East Trip - 6 weeks

Not being available to play against Spurs on Far East Trip - 6 Weeks

Not being available to play against Espanyol in Sela Cup - 6 Weeks

Not being available to play against Atletico Madrid in Sela Cup - 6 Weeks

Not putting his empty plate of IKEA meatballs in the dishwasher - 6 Weeks

Not being available against Aston Villa - 6 Weeks.

 

Job done.

I am not ITK, but if I had to guess, it's because they think he's a dickhead.

Any idea what made him take such a staunch u-turn- was it simply Liverpool showing interest that made him lose his shit?
