Dan Gleebals Posted August 31, 2025 Share Posted August 31, 2025 It did not help that no other club even showed an interest or bid. It makes the hold out for 150m+ argument irrelevant if no one will pay it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants him gone but obviously it's conditional upon not selling ourselves short or becoming cucks. I didn’t want him gone unless we got £140m + a replacement where we aren’t getting bent over. I suspected that wouldn’t be the case. PIF haven’t done anything to show me the can handle difficult situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 31, 2025 Share Posted August 31, 2025 4 minutes ago, HawK said: Probably going to be a very unpopular post, but I think 125m is a good price for him at his age, I don't think he's going to get better and we've already seen the best of him. I think we're selling him at his peak or just past it. Trying to separate heart from head bearing in mind his behaviour, and for a player to appreciate +60m in 3 years, plus all the room to reinvest... and we're selling a twat not someone who wants to stay. It's be gutting if we had an offer 'too good to turn down' for Guimaraes or Tonali and they made it clear they're happy here but the club effectively booted them into a helicopter Carroll-style. Anyway, I never thought Isak was that good? I think our new German lad will bring more to the team and be a much better fit tactically. We should hopefully see an increase in goals from midfield and out wide with his build up play and ball retention. Cya twat, thanks for what you did while you were here, integral to our push up the league and the league cup win, but still a twat. Looking forward to what this means PSR wise, this could be the making of our squad. Posting this image in case anyone accuses the above of being copium. Wilson was clearly not a team player and was barely involved in buildup, but Isak's numbers are no better. Isak dribbled past five or however many Everton players that time, but did it once in one game. He didn't dribble past very many in other games, or set others up, except when shots were coming back off the bar to Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play a blinder of a season and take Sweden far in the world cup (perhaps even nick a golden boot), and it's hello Real Madrid. Amd they'll probably end up with a better profit by somehow getting £200m for the utter cunt in the process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of Woltemade have you seen to think he’ll improve upon 27 goals and 6 assists when we’ve failed to score in 6 out of 7 games without Isak? I want Isak’s career to die when he puts on the Liverpool shirt but let’s not rewrite history and pretend he was a some decent - good 7/10 striker benefiting from the creative genius of Jacob Murphy.

This regime of Elanga, Thiaw, Osula, Ramsey, the GK, and Nick W are unproven. All of the good decisions including telling Isak that he’d get a nice new contract so don’t worry about that six year one? Not sure was the talent spotter for previous signings, either.

He would have less of a leg to stand on if he had just signed a new contract 12 months ago. She got stuff done. Brought everyone on the journey and vision. As soon as she left - everything off the pitch started to crack. Starting with that Mitchell interview. She brought unity from the top to the bottom.

Nine Posted September 1, 2025 Share Posted September 1, 2025 25 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: I just don't buy this at all. Now or in 12 months time Isak is still one of the best strikers around. Brentford and Wolves understand the value in standing firm, we've folded despite having an incredibly strong hand. This is a major turning point with PIF. We must have been following different sagas, Isak and his camp made sure we had anything but a strong hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The common assumption was that he would make his move next summer, which for the club would've been optimal considering Lewandowski would be turning 38 and Kane would he approaching his mid 30s at a Bayern team looking to get younger.
