TRon Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 Just now, STM said: I genuinely cant understand the mentality of anyone who says "get rid" or "let him go" etc. Do they not realise by giving him what he wants we are just allowing other players to do the same? Make him stay, his value will hold. Sell him next summer and add a Liverpool tax. The crucial thing in all of this is making sure we get Wissa. Wissas injury record is good and would probably see us through most of the season. We could even find a loan deal for someone to support him. This. We still hold the cards, the last thing we do is cave. Get another quality striker in and we can use Isak once the window closes then sell him at his full value.

If not, its 130M plus every loyalty payment etc. payable to Isak. If the payments are 10M plus, the move will cost him or Liverpool (presumably him, ultimately) most of one season's worth of his new salary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big River Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 getting a bit giddy at the thought of him rotting in the reserves all season and missing the world cup. this type of carry on should be driving his price up, not down. we better not cave and give him/Liverpool exactly what they want. if we do it sets such a bad precedent.

The Prophet Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 If you needed proof Ornstein is being briefed, that little added detail that he told Howe he wanted to leave at the start of the summer is such a desperate attempt at reputational rehabilitation, it's laughable.

Would mean the greedy fuck paying compensation. 2. Could take months to sort out by FIFA including appeals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 I don't have it in me to muster hate these days; I think that well ran dry during the latter Bruce days and got cleansed when the takeover happened. I just feel really sad and jilted about it; there was just no need at all for it to be like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 Pretty funny they rejected 3 bids for Diaz and got their asking price for him, but for us it's basically why the fuck haven't they accepted an offer £40m below asking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fucking way that his value will hold if he doesnt get gametime. Nobody is saying he will play for us again.

Chris_R Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 Fuck him and fuck Liverpool. I'd refuse to sell him purely out of spite at this stage. Even if Liverpool bid £170m. It's a matter of principle now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 Football is fucked like when a player can basically hold the club hostage, refuse to play, and the only recourse we have is to stop paying him for six weeks. So he sits in the reserves and still gets paid for the other 46 weeks of the year? Ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 We live in weird times that one tweet from a journalist is how this gets communicated. If it's even true at all. Either way, we can't sell him because he's sulking, especially not to Liverpool at a reduced price. So he's going to have to face the consequences of refusing to do his job.

STM Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 The other reason we cant sell him is because if we sell him before we sign his replacement, we are going to be fucked by any club we negotiate with. You cant negotiate a price with someone if they know you have a pocket full of diamonds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
