Watching Match of the day hit home. There was City after spending fortunes in January then buying £250m more of talent and so far not selling a yone for big money, just breezing through Wolves at will who of course were forced to sell their best player in the summer. There are gonna be so many dull games because of this where the top 4 clubs just smash most of the bottom half teams with ease. Never understood why sky seem to drool at the prospect of this and try to get the best players to the top clubs. It's so much better for the "product" if the best players are spread amongst all the teams not just 4. I suppose the majority of Sky Sports viewers are for the breakaway 6, and the majority of global interest is again through the very same clubs. So the breakaway 6 dominating is arguably good for Sky, whilst the Premier League will be happy because it pleases global fans.

alexf Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 As much as I appreciate the club not giving in and selling cheap like some of us feared. We also never expected Isak to go this nuclear with his actions. We are still in an awful position if he stays and refuses to play. They need to forget about him for now and find someone, even if just a stop gap til January before the deadline. Villa was a wake up call for anyone that wasn't already convinced that Gordon can't be our 9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 It would be good if off the back of this they sat down tomorrow and actually just worked it out and he rejoined the squad. If we're not selling then he has to play again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPar Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 It says to me that they have spoken to him but didn't make any promises (if we get a proper valuation offer and a replacement player then you can go. The team he wants to play for blatantly bought our main target right out from under our feet so maybe blame them, and the other cartel clubs for hoovering up all the other top echelon strikers. It hasn't happened Alex so you're staying here unfortunately. Hopefully you grow the fuck up and start playing again and we'll see what happens next year. End of story. We still don't know if we need 1 or 2 strikers (if he sticks to his guns by not playing). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 Maybe this is all a massive ploy to create a siege mentality for the season and when Isak comes back we'll be like a caged animal, unleashed for the first time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoMagpie Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 Yep, Play him monday. Also would be nice if a Saudi Club came in and made an acceptable bid for him, we accept, then he's got nothing come back on, ... want to leave, more money, there you go.

Geordie Ahmed Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 One thing that I've not seen mentioned but the club and Eddie Howe had belief in his ability when we took a punt on him when no other clubs wanted him at the price If Isak and his agent had even half as much belief in his ability then they should have inserted a release clause into his contract when he signed At that time if they asked for even a £110m release clause I think we probably agree to it They didn't so they now have to deal with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 Literally everything this thick cunt has done this summer has proved exactly that - he’s a thick cunt. 1) agitating for a move after Liverpool have spent £80m on Ekitike 2) refusing to fulfil his contracted duties to train and play, thus turning his teammates, fans and even the biggest wankers in football (I’m looking at you Agbonlahor, Collymore & Simon Jordan) acknowledging that he’s a fucking creep 3) releasing a statement with 2 weeks of the window left, when we’re just about to play the team he wants to join, saying change is good for everyone. No doubt about it, if there was even the tiniest chance of him going to Liverpool, he’s fucked that tonight. You absolute fucking idiot. The club have quite rightly taken the stance of ‘you aren’t bigger than us’ with that statement. I’ve little doubt Howe (and players, probably) want shot, but this is much bigger than that. You can’t want to be ‘#1’ (Yasir, 2022) then let a team you eventually wish to topple walk all over you and take your best player. Fuck that. He’ll play against Wolves from the bench is my guess, though Howe may prefer his first game to be away from home. You can fuck off - abroad - next year, but on OUR terms, not yours. Shove a new contract up your agents arse whilst you’re at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaurentRobert Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 14 minutes ago, Heron said: If we don't sign a striker we will need Isak. Even if we do we will likely need Isak (unless we sign 2 decent strikers). So for me it makes sense to channel our aggression and anger against Liverpool and the fact that they expect us to bawl over and just succumb to their "champion" status. Siege mentality, get at them, get amongst them, get into them and as you say Eddie will sort Isak from there. Of all the people we should back it's Eddie he's been superb from start to finish in his role and the way he's handled this situation has been exemplary thus far. 100% channel our aggression towards Liverpool on Monday, not at Isak. Their entitlement this summer has been something else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 Him and his agent have handled it all so poorly, mind Tried to paint himself as the victim but pretty much everyone in football other than Liverpool fans thinks he's been a massive cunt. It's extremely rare to get such a unanimously shared opinion in football on any subject really. Even pundits and fans who hate us and have sided with us over this.
