Absolutely fucking outrageous this carry-on We can only fine him 2 weeks wages presumably for each time he fails to turn up but he probably has millions in the bank so fines won't bother him too much!!

Benwell Lad Posted August 15, 2025 Share Posted August 15, 2025 The hatred is to be expected, probably understandable, but let's be realistic about this, of all the potential outcomes the one which is by far the best for us is Isak back in the team and firing. Compromises and possibly embarrassing u-turns would be needed to get there but it wouldn't be the first time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankles Bennett Posted August 15, 2025 Share Posted August 15, 2025 If Isak refuses to train and goes AWOL that's fine. Sack him but retain his registration so his career is ruined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the beginning of conciliatory at least. Howe is just the ultimate man manager. Every step of the way he's kept his options open, he doesn't give anything away. He could be fuming with Isak behind closed doors, but he would never let on in public. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publicly saying Isak recognises the club's support for him also begins to smooth the way for fans to accept him, or revile him less, at least.

Crimson Cardigan Posted August 15, 2025 Share Posted August 15, 2025 Brilliantly played by Howe, as always. I’m so happy we don’t have a reactionary, emotional guy at the helm, I love Keegan but I dread to think how much fodder he’d give the press vultures of today.

Yep. The fans who think there's no way back, you can understand it, they are fans. As a club with a valuable asset which is very hard to replace, you need to see the bigger picture, and Howe is a step above your usual brain fart manager like Steve Bruce. He is well aware of everything and the impact of what he says. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 15, 2025 Share Posted August 15, 2025 (edited) If we were to get 10 mil for this season from someone like PSG for a loan would we take a slightly reduced fee next summer? Assuming he has another similar season and does nowt in the WC because Sweden. Edited August 15, 2025 by Dr.Spaceman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said there should be one price for foreign based clubs and another much higher, more unaffordable price for Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted August 15, 2025 Share Posted August 15, 2025 (edited) I would happily take 110 million mind if it meant he went to PSG and not Liverpool . He's likely going to Liverpool anyway for 130 million at most either this summer or next summer so it would be worth the hit .

Imagine Jack Walker and Blackburn's reaction if us and Man Utd rocked up to them after Euro 96 and bid £9m because it would have been. British record transfer. That's not how pricing works. Liverpool fans being thick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a loan with obligation to Barca or PSG, we don't need the PSR headroom this year but could get a nice loan fee (lets say £20m loan fee, £110m sale next year if its abroad).
