Jewel Posted August 26, 2025 Share Posted August 26, 2025 I dont know why Yasir felt the need to pop round to Isak's place for tea and biscuits. If I was Yasir I would've summoned him to the office, be that in Newcastle or Saudi. Show him who's the boss. Even after everything Isak has done i feel like everyone at the club is still trying to placate him, which is fair enough, I suppose. Just as long as they don't cave in and sell him to the scousers on the cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as it is of course an asset to have one of the world's best it can also be a distraction and negative. It's a real delicate balancing act to get it right but in this case it unfortunately seems like the £150m ego and Scouse tapping up cunts have taken him away from the club. While I partly agree. The better the player, often the harder the ego to manage but I don’t think there’s another footballer in the game who’d have carried on like this.

I also think he wants this scumbag to fuck off but it's escalated way beyond his pay grade now and he has to find a way to reintegrate him should it come to that.

I'm saying if we end up with £150m players we should not be selling them. And we should be paying them as close as we can within the bullshit constraints to the going rate. I read it as you were suggesting the way to grow was to sell the £150m players and replace with other players who might one day themselves become £150m players. I'm just saying there's a risk in this, and if you do it really well your ceiling is probably fighting it out for the Europa spots every now and then. Obviously something has gone wrong at the board/negotiation level in this case. And fuck him because of how he's gone about it but in an ideal world Isak would be on a new contract getting paid what he should be going into this season. My thoughts over this subject are based on the position we’re now in with Isak. If we’re in that position because Isak feels he can’t get paid enough, or win enough with us, that’s down to PSR. However, I honestly think replacing him with two of the other better strikers in the PL is actually a really good solution. people are suggesting we shouldn’t buy striker A or striker B because they’re not as good as Isak need to recognise the position we’re in, because of both Isak and PSR.

Stottie Posted August 26, 2025 Share Posted August 26, 2025 4 minutes ago, Matt1892 said: I can see a face saving exercise where Liverpool give us what we want for Isak and we spend a fortune on someone like Curtis Jones. Jones or Elliot would be more likely now if Tonali and Joelinton are injured. Elliot in particular is underrated. I think we should call Isak's bluff and issue a statement saying that we're prepared to negotiate with a buyer if he submits a transfer request. No request, no sale.

We should sign two more strikers and keep Isak imo we have a gruelling season ahead of us. Obviously anyone we sign won't be as good as him - he's one of the best in the world right now. I don't know our PSR position and I switch off completely when people start mentioning amortisation but for me we've not really signed anyone in the previous two years and we have the new CL format coming up. Making sure we are mainstays in that has to be the priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 26, 2025 Share Posted August 26, 2025 If we can get Wissa AND Larsen, park Isak until May and develop Osula this season then we'll more than replace the goals of Isak and Wilson from last season. You'll miss the spark and danger that Isak brings but you'd also gain a bit of competition by having 2 strikers who can be rotated without losing quality and can also drive each other on a bit too. Being petty as fuck I would like Isak to miss an entire year purely out of principle though. Fuck him off for 120ish in May/June Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palestoon Posted August 26, 2025 Share Posted August 26, 2025 Anything other than signing Wissa OR Larsen, and forcing this prick back into training is a disaster scenario. If we captiulate and sell him after all of the grandstanding, and then panic buy Wissa and Larsen for over 100 million combined... thought of it is sickening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
