Alexander Isak - International C*nt

[Unlucky Luque]

He helped us win a cup.

He didn't want to be here anymore.

Howe and the squad weren't gagging to keep him around. 

We doubled our money.

 

That's all folks.

 

Let's get another striker in, then we don't have to spend any more energy hating the guy.

TCD is one of the most popular, exuberant, positive posters (prob in my top 3) posters on NO

He will brighten anyone's day

Them paying 125m is absolutely enraging like. I don't know how anyone can see it any other way

Nick W cost is lower right, spread over 5 years. Around 12-13m pr year

Wages too, TCD is right at £20m

[Yorkie]

I wonder if this situation might spark some routine change to player contracts. Going on strike has to = a transfer request at the very least. 

[KennyUtd]

A British record transfer fee for a dickhead who refused to play for his club. Come on lads, it's canny business however you look at it. Let's not let our hatred of those scouse cunts to cloud that. It might be a season where we hover around 7th or 8th but who knows with Howe at the helm. If we get another striker in today we'll be sound. If we don't then we wait until January. There's plenty money still in the pot now too.

No but we won’t.  We’ll make £100m/105m in PSR headroom available to us over 3 years. That will be taken up entirely by Nick W and the second striker. Nick W will cost £20m per season.  The second guy about £15m per season if they cost £50-60m. Thats all the PSR headroom gone over 3 years. 
 

We don’t have an easy £125m to sell next season so we can’t spend it all in one PSR season.  We won’t have the funds to pay for years 2 and 3.  

We’ll still have UCL money coming in, PL and sponsorship flowing in on top of the Isak cash.

‘Selling Alexander Isak is a medium-term “silver bullet” for Newcastle United’s financial outlook, freeing them up to potentially spend up to £250m on new players in future transfer windows.

 

That is the view of finance experts who believe the club’s first big sale since their 2021 takeover opens up “huge possibilities” for the next three to four trading periods.’

 

…

 

‘Due to the way the rules work – incoming signings are amortised over the length of their contracts – this gives Newcastle the capacity to make five £50m signings if they are penning five-year contracts.

 

“It would certainly be a game-changer,” Wilson says. “It gives them flexibility and headroom because any players they bring in are amortised over the length of their contracts. 

 

“This isn’t a case of bringing in, say, £120m or £130m for Isak and then you can only spend the same amount. Your capacity to spend is increased over a number of years. We know because of their revenue levels it’s difficult to spend heavily at the moment but this does unlock that, to an extent.

 

“Newcastle fans won’t want to hear it but they need to accept that to progress they have to be a trading club for a few years – buy them cheap, sell them high. 

 

“It might mean your prized assets go but the reality is you can buy three or four very good players for the value Isak brings in and it has a material impact on the future.”’

Zero sum game as we sold Isak and released Wilson.

[andycap]

They'll soon find out about his deficiencies and will be on his back pretty soon. The fact he doesn't even attempt to challenge for headers weak as piss can go missing in games if they have two big buggers at the back, no stamina after 60 minutes dodgy groin, can be very selfish instead of just burying it.

Wilson generated no fee and scored no goals last season.  The strikers we sign are replacing Isak’s goals from last season. Nick W has less top flight career goals than Isak scored last season. 
 

He might come good and I like him. But he’s not a Isak Replacement alone. Not this season anyway. 
 

The Issk money will be spent on 2 strikers. One a fantastic prospect. The other a 29 yo with 1 great season or someone purchased for £30m earlier this summer for twice the price. 
 

It’s not great business. 

As has been proven time and time again, only time will tell if it turns into good business.
 

I, personally, truly don’t care that he’s going or that the fee is “only £130m”. It’s still a massive fee.

 

Wissa or Strand Larsen + Nick W is absolutely a risk, but has every chance of being a master stoke 12 months down the line.

 

As always, this place breeds negativity, which is not really part of my personality, so I find some of the reactions in here really really over dramatic.

 

Just see what happens.

Good riddance to the despicable cunt

5 50m signings is about a 100m in year costs

what?

He kept getting robbed for things like watches and other small personal items that had just bought. They knew exactly where these items were hidden in the house, and that they would be there when he was out, I mean who the fuck buys a brand new watch costing thousands and doesn’t wear it outside and leaves it in the house?

His agent has massive ties to organised crime both in Sweden and across Europe.

Are you seriously suggesting that it wasn’t an inside job?

Isak was amortised for 6 years at 60m. He played 3 season so has a book value of £30m or so.  Wages at about £5m per year.  
 

So the PSR headroom for a £130m sale is about £95/100m.  
 

Nick W signed for £70m and can be amortised over 5 years. £14m per year. Then let’s say £6m in wages for such a fee. That’s £20m per year and £60m over the next 3 years.  JSL/Wissa for £55m over 5 years = £11m per year and let’s say £4m in wages. £15m per year. £45m over the next 3. 
 

 

That’s all the Isak PSR headroom spent. 
 

Everything else aye we could sign anyway. 
 

We don’t have a large sales funnel like the cartel clubs.  I don’t see an easy £130m we can sell every year like they can.

Has he not just done £100M x 3 for the rolling PSR period?

There is no chance that it would hold up in court that he’s been loyal, his social media post last week would have been the final nail in that scenario.

We should have agreed to the deal and at the last minute told him that he’s not getting his bonus, and that we’ll take him to court, with it being up to him if he wants to sign for Liverpool or not.
