Lush Vlad Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 Just to echo what everyone else is saying. The click bait, take the unpopular view, engagement farm that is Talksport. Have got one of their most anti-NUFC presenters coming out in support of the club and against Isak. Wow. You know you’re being a prick if that’s the case.

SteV Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 Releasing this through the media is clearly designed to ramp up a vicious backlash from the fanbase, therefore making it ‘impossible’ for him to stay and forcing the club into selling. It’s the most obvious tactical move you’ve ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond a joke now. Even if/when he does finally slap a transfer request in. We should release an official statement saying about the price and still stand firm. We shouldn’t be selling him for below the market value just because he’s having a hissy fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 This is absolutely embarrassing for him, tbh. All this effort but only one club is interested and even they aren't willing to meet the asking price despite offering more for an inferior player 2 months ago. Terribly advised but also, seemingly, a terrible person. What an idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 1 minute ago, Displayname said: Damn. Just fucking let him go after that stunt tbh. The "optics" would all be on our side. He is going to get so much shit in the media that no player is going to try that shit with us again. Not for cheap money though... Therein lies the problem. After this ultimatum, Liverpool might lower their bid rather than up it, knowing that a) there isn't any other bidder that Isak would go to; and b) Isak has stated he would never play for us again. Someone is trying to force an exit, for cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 I know it’s not his style, but would love for Howe to come out and go scorched earth on Isak now like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also been offered a new contract with a release clause. You’ve got to be pretty warped to see Newcastle as the baddies in this scenario, they can spin it as much as they like.

They're absolute cunts of the highest order. Edited August 12, 2025 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 Will probably go down as one of the all-time worst plays by a player and their agent. The fact he’s remained silent throughout but fed bits to the press from his side is a disaster for him from a PR perspective and it’s cowardly as fuck. Couldn’t have handled the optics of it all worse if he tried Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HayDen Traces Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 This reflects so badly on Isak and only serves to harm his "brand". If he's acted like this once, he could again which should put off any potential suitors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s obv. not true because that’s how it works, and if he’s that desperate he can slap in a transfer request and then go to the club that offer NUFC what they want, be that Saudi or abroad. But not a fucking rival in EPL. LOL, how stupid can one be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tross Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 Some mackem just rang talksport pretending to be a toon fan again. Saying they feel for Isak as he's stuck in the middle and the club should've handled it better. Cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 I hope Isak learns from this experience in the future and doesn't pull a similar stunt to force a move away from Liverpool.

Holmesy Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 How about you talk to your bin-dipping scouse pals and tell them to stump up the cash, Alex, you fucking melt. Otherwise you can rot in the reserves for a season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 I hate unsalvagable situations but if that's the way he wants it the club will be around a lot longer than his career will. Off to the reserves with ye. For the first time since the option was brought up I am thinking he might just wait until the 27th and pull the article 17 shenanigans, and hope Liverpool will just wait on him.
