To be fair Alex is probably equally pissed off at Liverpool for not paying up

I don’t think he’s smart enough to think about that

Totally.

 

Messi, Rooney, Kane, Suarez, Ronaldo.  Careers never recovered after they went on strike and caused a stink to try and get a move. 

 

How many times did Anelka turn the situation he was into full on Chernobyl and still waltz onto the next big club?

 

 

 

 

Most of them never went on strike for starters.

[Rich]

Let him rot.

[Mattoon]

The media are just laying the ground work for the dippers again to come in with another lowball offer and pretend they're being respectful and it's us moving the goalposts. We're on the hunt for a 2nd striker because we can't be left on transfer deadline day with no fall back option if a strong bid comes in or if the snake refuses to reintegrate for longer, even though inevitably he will.

 

There's zero chance we've briefed the media that we're willing to let him go on the cheap and are inviting the dippers to please take him off our hands at a price of their choosing, everyone making out we have no power in this situation due to circumstances, but the only circumstance that means anything is he's our player and has 3 years left on his contract. So pay up or shut up.

"Hope" is doing a whole load of lifting in this like. I personally think this is just an edge case and not the norm, and can't really see it happening again. Its literally just pure conjecture and there is no proof it'll happen again. These "Sagas" have happened at other clubs before, and they've all been fine after. 

The other clubs for players have been fine mainly because they stood their ground.

 

Liverpool doubled the Coutinho and Suarez prices by forcing the players to wait at least 1 more window.  

 

Tottenham got two more seasons and another years worth of Champions League money by holding firm on Kane.  Still got 9 figures from Bayern in the end as well.

 

Even the "selling" clubs like Leipzig rinse every club that decides to poach from their production line.  Liverpool had to eat shit and gave in to every single demand (not a penny less than the release clause, and the whole thing paid up front) for Szoboszlai.

I mean we're all in conjecture territory here. My point is that especially in the circumstances I don't see how anything less than 150m is anything other than a needless capitulation that sets a dangerous precedent. 

 

Brentford want £65m for 29 year old afcon locked Yoanne Wissa but we should just get rid of arguably the best striker in the world for 130 odd million? Honestly, it's a joke, the 150m should have hone UP as the circumstances changed, not down.

Imagine Isaks reaction if JSL signs for Liverpool 

[Emotic]

Nicolas Jackson is now refusing to return to Chelsea after they blocked his loan to Bayern  A veritable epidemic of stroppiness this window. Clubs should be worried. The Isak Affair might really be a test case for how to manage these player strikes going forward.

[r0cafella]

Doubt we ever find out what went on, but id really love to know factually what happened in this early discussions about this guy going. I really do wonder what the clubs stance was, our approach in the market kinda points to us trying to facilitate him leaving to me.

I wouldn't be surprised if all the affected clubs didn't have a chat and agree this can't succeed and that we'll all hold firm for the good of the game.

The precedent with all of this is happening in real time

He’ll be gone 100% - the away end yesterday said it all and all the players and management team heard it very loud. 
 

Good riddance you rat and I can’t wait to see his ovation at Anfield!

Let’s be realistic, a massive global investment fund aren’t going to make a decision on a £100m+ asset based on what a thousand or so pissed up Geordies are singing in an away end 

 

And when it comes to “fans will make his life unbearable if he stays and plays”. We couldn’t even get a large percentage of match going fans to back protests against Ashley strangling the club to death. So I doubt Ratboy has much to fear from the stands if he ever plays for us again

If nothing else, the strops from players this window has reinforced the belief that players have too much power. You'd hope something would be done, from new rules enforcing sanctions against players who refuse to fulfil their contracts to making a point of getting any 'agreements' in writing, otherwise they become unactionable.

RAT!

Got to say I feel for Jackson. Chelsea signed 2 strikers and touted him about all summer only for them to fuck him about now that one of their shiny new signings got injured. 

[alexf]

For every game they refuse to play for their current club they should be suspended for the same amount for any games for their future club. 

 

Although all that would mean is the player would just play but put in zero effort. 

[Scotty66]

Just seen a clip of Arne slut getting interviewed by Sky and being asked where he gets his transfer updates from.

 

Proceeds to then name drop Romano and sucks off Sky Sports.

 

Corrupt as fuck.

If a bid from LFC comes in tomorrow it is important we string them along before we reject their lowball offer so they have no time for a plan B

I was just about to post something similar. For the good of the game the best outcome has to be the rat stays here, wissa stays at Brentford and Jackson gets back on the plane.

 

The clubs have got to start getting a foot hold in, on all of these player power.

 

If all of these players get what they want whilst not filling out contractual obligations. The game will become fucked every transfer window.

 

Agents will be throwing money around to knob heads like Romano to unsettle all players.

 

Its isak today will be Tino, tonali in January. It will just open the floodgates for cartel clubs to pillage all of the other teams, for below market value.

This is far from an ideal situation, there is no "good" option, we just need to make it out of the window with what suits us best. As I see it there are two different options, that could set long term precedents.

 

1) Isak stay's after rejecting £130m bid, he for all intents and purposes gets forced to join the squad again, the players don't like it they are livid with how he's acted, he doesn't like it so probably doesn't provide maximum effort, Howe doesn't like it, and it disrupts our season, and we'd likely have a poor season because of it, or he trains alone for a year, and his value depreciates. Either way all season, it'll be a story round our necks. 

 

2) We sell for slightly under his value, we have a squad that is unified and want to progress and do as well as they can, but there is a chance going forward that players try the same tactic again. 

 

Option 1 is way worse than option 2 in my opinion. Then again I just want him fucked off, and want the story to just be gone, its fucking tiring. 

[gazza ladra]

Hoping.

 

The club indicated -- I think -- three conditions: 1. Replacement for Wilson 2. Replacement for Isak  and 3. £150m

 

Makes no sense to me if we get rinsed three times. Twice by sellers and then again by a buyer.

I agree that the Jackson Affair is a lot different. The loan had already been sanctioned and he had already flown in when they pulled the plug. Nevertheless, I would reckon that his reaction would’ve been different if there hadn’t been all this chicanery with Isak and Wissa. I’d expect Jackson’s “black background text” instastory quite soon.

And those same players, if we miss out on the CL or a club with more chance of winning the major trophies with more money want them, know they can just act the same way and they'll eventually get their way.
