Shak Posted August 13, 2025 Share Posted August 13, 2025 Didn’t Liverpool want Gordon last summer after we actively explored selling him to them? Seems it upset him a bit but there was nothing even approaching the sort of carry on we’ve seen from Isak from Gordon last year, when he probably had far more cause to be upset.

The Butcher Posted August 13, 2025 Share Posted August 13, 2025 3 minutes ago, Ronaldo said: He’s just the modern footballer who wants to win things, has zero connections to the area / club beyond the superficial and has a twat of an agent who wants his comish. Yes, he’s been a twat but don’t take it personally. Have no doubt Gordon would do exactly the same if Liverpool wanted him. He did no such thing last summer.

Turnbull2000 Posted August 13, 2025 Share Posted August 13, 2025 Is Isak a sociopathic loner? He could have left on good terms (which we were largely prepared for), but to burn bridges with pretty much everyone at the club and all the fans, supposedly sell his house, going on strike and behave like an absolute twat suggests either some severe personality flaws or someone who is extremely naive. If he has indeed sold a house, he must have had a guarantee from Liverpool, surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see him leaving this summer. First obstacle getting in two strikers with the quality required, and second, Liverpool then paying our valuation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely one of the options we looked at to solve our PSR issues, that was widely reported and also suggested as one of the reasons his performances didn't match the season prior, but he always seemed to handle himself professionally. If he hadn't, Howe just wouldn't have picked him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not even a matter of expecting him to behave in a morally correct manner and respect the club and coach which put him on the map. He has a contract which he signed. If he’s not happy then negotiate - it’s clear Eddie would never want an unhappy player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoranBadlund Posted August 13, 2025 Share Posted August 13, 2025 (edited) Heard last year from a really reliable source that Isak was at a party in Las Vegas and offered cash to at least two swedish girls to have sex with him. ”How much do you need?”. They declined the offer. Of course not really relevant to all this but I guess it says something about him as a person.

Because if we’d signed Baleba he’d barely have played so would be worth about £23.5M. Same for a young CF. We’re not a club that gives game time for players to develop ‘on the job’. They have to prove it in training for approx 6-9 months before getting a sniff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted August 13, 2025 Share Posted August 13, 2025 5 hours ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: He just has quite a weird body for football and low stamina IMO. I don’t think he’ll ever to be able to play a good 90 minutes, he really drops off noticeably around 55. Not such a problem if you can bring another £90m striker on I guess. It's weird because that body type should mean his stamina is exceptional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very amateur assessment, but maybe he gets a bit battered by the physical and explosive nature of the game. I don't know, but for some reason he's usually finished about 55-60 mins. Maybe he mentally runs out of the will to chase around as well, since he doesn't always get enough of the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
