Abacus Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 He'll maybe be thinking that if he doesn't attend the awards gala that it's just an extension of his strike. A public come and get me message. Or perhaps he just doesn't want cheap canapés to a pointless ceremony nobody cares about or the focus on him the whole time or be asked questions, else he'll shrivel under the camera lights like a vampire.

TRon Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 It's not that hard to figure tbh. He'll stay out of the picture until the window closes, then if he hasn't got his move we'll start the work to bring him back into the fold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly his team mates have had enough of him now judging by the subtle digs they've been getting in about him in the last week, and I'm yet to speak to a Newcastle fan who ever wants to see him in the 1st team again. I had a walk along to Whitley Park yesterday to watch the U21s. That's the environment he should be playing his trade in this season. If it costs him a World Cup place then that's tough shit. Putting Isak in the u21s will just plummet his value, so thats a pointless suggestion tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was him I'd be furious with Liverpool, they've made him look really daft by not putting in a proper bid at all. At least with Wissa we offered more than a fair price.

Danh1 Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 I cannot believe things are turning out like this mind. I remember when he signed and thinking that he was quite intelligent, the way he spoke about the game and how he came here partially because of the way we play. He’s turned out to be an absolute cunt. Typical thick as fuck football, some may say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 This is genuinely fucking nuts like. What on earth is he doing? All this to move to fucking Liverpool for god sake. Like, they ain't Barca or Real, why this massive carry on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 (edited) This is all fine, club remaining and will remain stoic over the whole thing as it should. I'm finding it is getting quite exciting and fascinating now. The circus will roll out around us, and we will just crack on. Isak has managed to de-humanise himself with all this, so one it's helped to the point I don't give a crap what happens to him personally and secondly it also helps the club's position to deal with him with less emotion and as an asset without seeming callous.

DoricGinola Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 Re. the Sweden manager bumping his gums about the whole story. Whilst it's true, it's pretty unlikely to be anything other than a gentleman's agreement given his agent and Liverpool would have already leaked it; anything to paint us in a bad light.

Abacus Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 Or he's told the Sweden manager one side of the story because Isak's reputation is in the dirt right now. Past caring really, the Sweden manager just wants his goals and what else could he say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what's ruined the sport. Personally I'd rather play him in the U21s for a season and sell him to Barcelona as Lewandowskis replacement next year for £70m than sell him to Liverpool now for £120m. At some point clubs need to make a stand against these mercenaries and their agents. Rolling over and letting him get his move despite only being 3 years into a 6 year contract wouldn't do us any favours whatsoever as a football club amd makes us look a soft touch. We need to take the power away from the players and their agents and give it back to the clubs, not the other way around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezekiel 2517 Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 There have been hints that something else has affected him, haven’t there? Didn’t Bruno say something about him going through a tough time? Wasn’t he burgled a couple of times and could it be something to do with that…? Whenever Eddie or anyone else for that matter has spoken about him, they’ve always referred to how intelligent and thoughtful he is, so I can’t get my head around this simply being a “toys out of the pram” reaction to not being effectively handed over to Liverpool. It feels like the degree to which he doesn’t want to be at the club is actual desperation… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
