Mattoon Posted August 14, 2025 Share Posted August 14, 2025 Just now, gdm said: I’d love Isak to stay but I don’t think we can trust him. Don’t think his team mates can trust him. The annoying thing is Ekitike would have been ideal as a replacement There will be a point, whether Liverpool publicly pull out or September 2nd rolls around, that he will have to reneg on his threats, he's not going to spend a season on strike, especially during a WC year and further damage his fitness and match sharpness. It doesn't benefit him to half arse it either, his stock will plummet and he'll be unselable. We just have to stand firm and ignore the noise.

Either he is really shit at critical thinking or he is milking drama. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let his side give everyone information for free as they panic more and more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, thats correct as he's training but not with the group however, if he misses any matches he can (and will) be fined Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted August 14, 2025 Share Posted August 14, 2025 We would have to select him and he would have to refuse to play for a fine to occur. Eddie may choose to get around the situation for a while by just not selecting him. At the end of the day we won’t know what will actually happen until the window shuts. There’s a reason no player (as far as I know) has actually refused to play a significant amount of games that matter. Can’t throw away an entire season of your prime like that.

Vinny Green Balls Posted August 14, 2025 Share Posted August 14, 2025 Pretty clear to me that Isak and his side are bluffing, because they are coming from such a weak position. They will blink once the window shuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think we just have to show he refused to be selected for the fine to be levied. If you had to select someone knowing they won't play no-one would ever get fined.

Shearer9 Posted August 14, 2025 Share Posted August 14, 2025 He was already on strike, surprised nobody has "reported" it yet. Hopefully this will cement the narrative around what is actually happening, which is that he is refusing to travel, train, or play with the rest of the team.

Vinny Green Balls Posted August 14, 2025 Share Posted August 14, 2025 This is when the book 'Never Split the Difference' comes in handy. Not the be all end all, but some occasional great insight from a former FBI negotiator. Isak's position here is actually pretty weak. The club should seriously just alienate him and his camp for a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
