midds Posted August 31, 2025 Share Posted August 31, 2025 Approaching the crossroads right now and the direction we choose to take will have an impact on every single other player we have, or will sign, for the foreseeable. Digging in now or caving in will define the next few years for the club - I know that sounds a bit dramatic but the decisions we make in the next 20 hours will essentially send a message to the fans and the sport in general. It's looking like they're about to cave in though unfortunately and that's incredibly disappointing. I ca understand the logic of just getting rid of him but we've now given ourselves a problem every time a bigger club comes calling. Hard to reconcile the "number 1" shite Yasir came out with if we completely collapse once one of the bigger teams come calling at the first time of asking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Posted August 31, 2025 Share Posted August 31, 2025 As much as we would all like the pound of flesh that comes along with making Isak stay and apologise, the truth is that the club are going to be pragmatic about it. I have always expected a deal to get done for that reason, it’s simply too much to ask them not to add 100m or so to the PSR equation. Their job is to remove all the emotion and just make a pragmatic decision and the risk of him losing value or getting injured or whatever is too great not to sell. It sucks.

duo Posted August 31, 2025 Share Posted August 31, 2025 (edited) Seriously how would the press know what PIF want - it's utter b*****ks - no one has a line to Yasir. So I am taking all the reports with a pinch of salt - they've pushed this agenda all Summer and this is their last push.

sparkzter Posted August 31, 2025 Share Posted August 31, 2025 Surely if he’s finally going the club have someone else lined up as a striker!? Absolutely mental to consider going into this season with the squad as is. Saying that, if Isak did stay how he’s reintegrated is beyond me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even slightly dramatic. It's completely accurate. That's what is so frustrating about the entire thing. Forest get it, Brentford get it, Wolves get it. What the fuck are we playing at.

Hhtoon Posted August 31, 2025 Share Posted August 31, 2025 Likely it was never 150m, its all just posturing and we see it all the time...don't know why anyone thought it is different just because it's us. If we wanted 150m we'd have said 165m from the get-go. I don't think we wanted to sell but reckon 130m was more like the figure we had in mind IF we decided it was the best option. Not having a 2nd striker lined up does make it seem fucked, but maybe there's another Nick W surprise lined up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 31, 2025 Share Posted August 31, 2025 (edited) Newcastle need a striker Wolves: stance and price that matches the situation Brentford: stance and price that matches the situation Liverpool need a striker Newcastle who also need a striker, keep getting quoted stances and prices that match the situation and currently have one of the best strikers in the world with 3 years on his contract : how about we knock £20m off the asking price to you, the club that unsettled that player and stopped us getting our number 1 target? No? £30m off? Edited August 31, 2025 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine Eddie saying get rid without a replacement. Especially after yesterday. In a CL season.

Anderson Posted August 31, 2025 Share Posted August 31, 2025 Only hope atm is that the talk of not signing another is simply posturing on our behalf to try and get a deal done with JSL or Wissa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
