He can't afford to spend the whole season on strike or feigning injury. You really think clubs are still going to offer him £300k per week after spending a whole season on strike? He'll soon put his head down out of fear of missing out on future earnings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already knew the cunt on there hates NUFC but I couldn't believe what I was listening to. He was saying its disgusting the way Isak has been treated and toon fans are thick for believing the clubs lies. Was going on about how he's been subject to all kinds of threats and even said he had to turn off comments on his statement because he was "PROBABLY" receiving racial abuse Had to turn it off before I smashed my monitor screen in Its for clicks and likes. He has to pay the bills you know. So he kinda has to say that to get plastic Liverpool fans to like and watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 Still vital that we get in a replacement for him. Can't rely on him getting his attitude back on track. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not giving isak a new contract was probably the right idea with four years left to go, But just say we did offer him a new contract, after last season he'd be wanting another one. 😂 We couldn't keep doing it. It wasn’t - a new contract would’ve been PSR-neutral. It was an idiotic decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 We don't even know what terms Isak demanded in this new contract. If it was double salary and an release clause below £150m I could understand if the club just said no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an incredibly, preposterously dumb decision. But who knows, bro might be dumb enough to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 Tbf, we’ve probably got a price and conditions. It’ll always be 150m+ and a replacement. The fact we’d need two in a very small market means it’s not happening. Especially not to a rival club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 (edited) Everything points to Isak and his team being the liars in this situation. If the club had known for as long as he states that he wanted out we'd have never let Wilson go on a free, you don't leave yourself in the position we're in with zero options knowingly, plus there's the promo material for the new season including Isak and his very own statements in the press at the end of the season. None of it makes sense except for under the conditions that Liverpool tapped him up and shook the tree, it was only when the media sycophants started printing the bin dippers desire to court Isak that the toys came out the pram so I'm not buying what he's selling. I do however believe that the mess at the top of the food chain means that a new contract that was promised maybe fell through the gaps and I can absolutely understand that being a catalyst to his unhappiness, but talk to the club and do it properly, this is amateur hour. As for the season ahead, we have no choice but to keep him now and he will have to accept that at some point, he'll have no choice but to play for us again or his career will go up in flames. At the very least he cannot go to a world cup without competitive football under his belt and looking at the wider picture, no one is going to want damaged goods next summer. He says its in everyone's best interest that he moves on, I'd argue Alex that it's in everyone's best interest that you play football, stop sulking and put yourself back out there.

Emotic Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 I mean the statement doesn't say "Isak will not be allowed to leave this summer under any circumstances". It's just that conditions must be met. As far as we know, those conditions are likely to be "meet our valuation and allow us to replace him before we let him go.". Neither of which are likely at this point (in fact the latter more unlikely than the former - Newcastle gets to decide who is appropriate as Isak's replacement, and all the appropriate ones have been snapped up, one by Liverpool). Therefore, unless two very unlikely events happen in the next two weeks, Isak stays. Adam Crafton's tweet is, again, just engagement farming for idiotic Liverpool fans.

Sibierski Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 I did not think a statement would come, but that is as clean cut as you can get and that last line leaves the door firmly open for him to come crawling back.

Quote please? I really can't be bothered through his article. Said last night I'd have preferred no comment from the club, because I didn't think they'd get it a right or that they needed to. Nice to wake up and see they've nailed it, and they were definitely expecting something like that from him Dig your heels in lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 I’m pretty sure that they had a few variations of the club statement already written such that they could just choose the one that best matched the social media post, make some minor edits and issue it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
