Alexander Isak - International C*nt

[midds]

If the club are taking a long term look then we reject everything, make a stand and keep him regardless. Standing firm sends out a message to players, agents and all other clubs that being a dick and having a tantrum will only have a negative impact of the player's career and simply won't work. I'm strongly in this camp and this is what I'd do

 

However, I can understand the logic of just getting the snake out for as much as we can (even though he's worth more) just to resolve the situation and blow the dark clouds that have been hanging around for months now. I bet Howe's sick as fuck of even talking about him and every press conference and every game is being scrutinised with the emphasis on Isak not being there. He's hogged the spotlght even though he's not kicked a ball and getting shot of all of that must be tempting. But that's rewarding Isak, his agent and Liverpool for how they've gone about things - yes, it solves the problem immediately but it'll create more problems in the future as he'll have fucking won, it'll have worked in the end and given other players a blueprint as to how to get out. Really hope we go long term and fuck this lad off until January even if it means short term pain

It gives the club a way back in with Isak if they don't bid or don't bid enough.

 

I think they will like.

Ah ok, fair enough. I think it’s a reach unless we’re assured that they won’t go to £130m

I’m sorry but he’s flip flopping all over the place , he’s essentially rubbishing his own article already … what an airhead 

Aye, he's all over the place. Friday it was "a change in mood music", tonight's it's "on a knife edge". Don't be surprised if tomorrow it's a "precariously balanced powder keg". There'll be some condescending smug twitter activity from him tomorrow evening, regardless of what happens.

yeah - the fee's been made public.

Aye, he’s making it up. I can imagine £130m doing it tbh, but he’s making a guess. My main concern is bringing someone in.

He’s pissed again. 

[Displayname]

£130m is a fair bid imo, but not on the last day if we can't find a replacement or have to overpay to get one.

It might well be true, but Edwards has no insider knowledge re PIF - no football hack does.  

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

For this to happen on deadline day is truly ridiculous by all parties.

Id advise you all to prepare for Isak leaving. 

 

Im actually surprised at the reaction because id resigned myself to the probability ages ago.

 

Hes put the club in an awful position.

We are basically taking a wrecking ball to our season without getting a PL proven striker in though.  Woltemade needs time / support.

[oldtype]

At the end of the day if Howe thinks he should be sold at 130m and no other club out there is willing to bid higher, I think that’s a pretty good indication that it’s not a terrible deal.

[Miggys First Goal]

You know what, they’ve had all window to make this bid. To do it on the last day, if they do, is a fucking joke. Even if they bid £150m tomorrow, tell them to fuck off. 

[TheBrownBottle]

The mood music does sound like £130m now does it.  Isak has successfully acted the cunt and reduced his value accordingly.  It’s a dangerously precedent to set - and the club better have another striker onboard if he goes otherwise perfectly reasonable questions will be asked about the competence displayed this summer. 

[Toon1984]

Perhaps Yasir struck a deal with Isak: if Liverpool don’t offer 130 then you stay and reintegrate. If they do, you can go. 
The latter would only be acceptable if we have another striker in the bag to sign.

I reckon we would always have gone at this fee

 

does it not make it stupid though that we couldn’t have kept Isak sweet in the mean time ?

If they throw in Elliot and we get Jackson/Wissa!

 

At the start 130-140m always seemed to be the logical/realistic area of a deal imo. They have however rightly pissed our higher brass off so I can see the club not wanted to go down that low now. 

 

We will likely lose 10-20m off his value in January though, similar in the summer if he isnt playing on top form. Its a gamble either way.

 

[Nine]

I just get the feeling that Howe feels the bridge has been fully burnt by this point and wont want to attempt re integrate him into the squad, it just goes against all the ethics and standards he has carefully managed and set. 

 

Isak and his camp have tried to reduce his value and lower the fee which obviously Liverpools end have also had a part in, just such a mess. Going public like he did was the end of his chances of being in the squad after midnight tomorrow imo.

Anybody using the term ‘mood music’ here needs to take a long hard look at themselves.

we may wait till january to try get another striker in.

Why are people jumping to thinking Howe has something to do with this?

I don’t think any of the parties involved has come out of this looking good, including NUFC’s current top brass and two former members of it (that useless cunt Mitchell and the sainted Staveley)

Wissa has acted like a cunt but has increase his value. Our owners are weak as fu*k if we sell Isak for £130M tomorrow.

Looked at myself and decided I’m still ok with use of the term

I think Howe’s the only one who comes out of this looking better than he did before it, yet he’s the poor sod having to deal with it

the club will if they don't buckle.

[tarie4]

Basically, if the club thinks we can reintegrate him, he's staying. If not, he's gone. 

I think thats where we at imo.
