Many players seem to do 2 posts nowadays. One for new club and one for the club they depart from to keep messages separate. Although I hope he never talks about us again.

You might see Isak playing out in the left some games with Ekitike through the middle.

I hope they do that like, without Howe turning him into a number 9 he's an above average winger.

He really is a horrible human being.

I'm actually really struggling to comprehend how he could be like that.

Sounds like Eddie wanted him to stay but PIF sold - probably because of their own agendas i.e Saudi League

 

 

Eddie wanted that piece of shit out. He tried, he failed to save it. How anyone blames anyone else but the great cunt himself is beyond me if even 25% of everything is true.

The fact he hasn't even bothered to thank the fans shows what a massive wanker he is.

 

Even Wissa, despite his terrible behaviour, signed off to the Brentford fans on social media.

He better not dare thank the fans. You don’t get to do what he did then thank the fans. 

[Yorkie]

If Edwards' account is accurate then I'm not sure what I'm missing when it comes to PIF suddenly becoming weak (or whatever adjective you want to use). It doesn't sound like weakness, it sounds like they took the decision that reintegration seemed impossible and keeping him could do more harm than good, so they sold him. We'll reluctantly take the £130million then, I guess. Where's the lube in that?

Lets see, anyway Harrison Ashby wins the unwelcome award for the first player to like the post…

Hope his credit card goes reet under his nail next time he tries to get it out his wallet.

Only hope is it galvanises pif to fight back and go after the cartel, the PL and psr in the courts. 

Spoiler Alert: They won't.

[B-more Mag]

He gets to go sell his glory-hunting soul to whomever will get him what he wants. He doesn’t get to pretend like he treated us well.

[duo]

I didn't realise  Real Sociedad get 10% of the transfer fee - makes the £125mil seem even more of a gift

I'm going to sacrifice myself and keep him as captain on FPL throughout the season. I'm unlucky as fuck on that shit so you can thank me later.

He doesn’t need to thank the fans, but if he had anything about him he would be thanking Eddie, the coaching staff, and his teammates for helping turn him from an ex-prospect that had scored 6 goals in a season into a top class striker. He likely thinks he did it all himself, he’s got that Michael Owen dead behind the eyes brain. I bet he’s only ever seen two films he’s liked and one of them is Bad Boys 2.

[James]

I actually think that he has a personality disorder 

[GEFAFWISP]

Just watched his welcome video, aye this guy's got the dead behind the eyes psychopath look down pat. Deadpans the "I'm so happy to be here" lines.

 

Happy he's gone. Wish we got more out of Liverpool.

That’s really funny. 🤣 a

At the start of the summer I thought we'd sign a right winger who could play upfront (e.g. Mbeumo), and then we'd end up with a very budget option like DCL as the effective third choice back up. I just couldn't see how we'd do surgery needed on the rest of the squad and be able to sign an expensive Wilson replacement too. 

 

Obviously the way it has happened has been disgraceful, and I do still think we've been mugged on the Wissa fee (it has hallmarks of the way Barca immediately blew the Neymar money to save face) but  now the dust has settled part of me does prefer the exciting unknown we now have of reshuffling entirely and going with two completely new forwards, each with different profiles and skill sets. Things had gone a bit stale over the last two years with our inability to refresh the squad.

Awful human being, perfect for the hideous club he’s going too, he will fit right in with his victim mentality. Taking the number 9 shirt is just the icing on the cake, get fucked.

[Gottlob]

I don't get the sense that there was any animosity between him and the club until we bid for Ekitike and the fallout seemed to put his move to Liverpool at risk. I think he probably felt that the club had reneged on an agreement to facilitate his exit. Now he probably feels like he's been cast as the bad guy under a faulty pretext and has had a couple of weeks of the fans wishing him ill.

 

I don't like how he's acted and I hope that he and Liverpool prove utter failures over the next few seasons. But to me his and Wissa's situations are broadly the same: players groping for a major chance to better their careers and their bank balances. They've both been unusually obstinate but the situations aren't unprecedented and their tactics seem to have worked.

I promised to share anything I learnt today from a few people (one of which is very close to everything going on, one of the others, an agent not connected to an NUFC player but active in the PL in general)…

 

Some of this we already know, some of it contradicts slightly what Caulkin said in his article (I’ll let you choose who to believe and won’t be offended, as I’m just passing on what I have been told). None of it is particularly groundbreaking but I’ll share none the less…

———-

 

- firstly, as I’ve said a few times now and had it confirmed by pretty much everyone I have spoken to over the last few weeks, Eddie and the players absolutely 100% wanted Isak gone (this info is from as good as source as you can get really). The longer it went on, and as his behaviour became more and more unforgivable, the bigger that desire for him to leave was. To quote specifically from someone I spoke to today…. “the trust had completely gone”... I know this isn’t particularly “news” as it’s been pretty obvious from their togetherness, but I’m 100% on that.

 

- the meeting last Monday. That was ultimately what sealed the route forward… Isak apparently telling PIF and Reuben that he was willing to sit out until January if he wasn’t granted his move, with no desire to reintegrate.

 

- PIF made the final decision, but Eddie was fully on board with that decision.

 

- the feeling within the industry is that £130m is maybe very slightly under value in the current market, but not by much.

 

- apparently, the last couple of weeks at the training ground have been particularly unpleasant when Isak has been in the building. General rudeness on his part, him not conversing with anyone other than the odd fitness coach who was assigned to him, headphones on and ignoring people… essentially just stropping. And a big effort to hide things like tactics / team sheets from view when he’s been in the building (going back to those trust issues).

 

————
I’ll let everyone draw their own conclusions, but I know how I feel about it all (with my usual positive outlook).

Eddie, and Reuben, and PIF, in my opinion have pretty much exclusively shown themselves to make decisions in the best interest of NUFC, and this is no different really (if you take the raw emotion out of it).

Barring potentially a slightly smaller fee than we’d hope, they’ve acted in a way to protect the club, make sure we have the players we need, give us plenty of PSR headroom moving forward, and get a good fee (albeit it not perfect) for a player who has shown nothing but disdain over these last few weeks. They have made decisions, not through emotion, but for the long term good of the club.

 

I personally don’t buy that our actions have shown us to have “bent over” for Liverpool, and I don’t think the industry, the general public or the majority of fans see it that way either. I mean, I played 11-a-side football tonight with 7 other NUFC fans and everyone was happy he was gone. Outside of the internet forum / Twitter rage bubble, taking a step back, I really don’t think many people see it that way.

 

Anyone… that’s all I have.

Edwards account explains why it might be seen as weak, Caulkin's too. In fact PIF's own reported account in both mentions their concern on it - that it looks weak and sets a precedent. They also capitulated on their word. The account also mentions Howe and Reuben standing firm while PIF didn't.
