Rice a technically limited DM went for 100m+

Caceido went for 100m+

A known to be garbage Havertz went for 65m+

Anthony 70m+ 

Hoiberg 70m+

 

None but one of the aforementioned are strikers.

Selling for anything less than 110m (bar being last year of his contract or similar) would be negligence by the club.

The striker market is dire, I personally wouldn't respond at anything under 120m 

 

 

 

 

 

So what you're saying is that if we were to sell Isak, we'd be best off finanically selling him to Man Utd?

🗣️ Alexander Isak responding to speculation over his future: 


“Throughout my career, I have never talked about or really commented on the move rumours during the season. There have been many such years where it has been talked about. It doesn’t affect me.

 

I am commenting on my situation in Newcastle, and I have never had any problem there. I am fully focused on my task there and that we will have a fantastic season. There are still great opportunities for that. I have no thoughts about anything else.”

 

Isak on a potential breakdown in contract talks: 

 

“The only thing I can say is that a lot of information and rumours often come out. Much of what I read is not true. So that’s about all I can say about the whole thing.”

Top players are always going to get linked to other clubs. Top players during contract negotiations doubly so.

 

He's got plenty of time left on his contract so I'd imagine this'll get done, but maybe with something like a release clause if we're not in Europe/Champions league by x year. That sort of thing.

Havertz is so underrated now based on these posts. He's not amazing but he's nowhere near flop or garbage status. His size, strength and technical ability are rare in the same package and he's so versatile too.

Yeh his fee is just about correct. 
 

But Isak is a level better and the fee should reflect that.  
 

Kolo Muani went for £80m last year too. Off the back of a single 15 goal season in the Bundesliga and a good World Cup.  
 

These are al good players in my book.  But if Isak puts another 20-goal season up, any selling fee next summer needs to reflect he’s a level above and a surer-bet.

Flop was not really the correct term to use for Havertz or Jackson, never really put that much thought into it. They are decent players, but would Chelsea or Arsenal like to replace them with Isak if they had the chance? I would say yes. Both clubs have been linked with Isak, so I imagine they would consider him an upgrade. The type of elite striker that turns title challenges into title wins.

80 million would be daylight robbery for Isak mind and thankfully the club will know this . His contract length and how unique he is along with how rare a world class centre forward that can score 20+ premier league goals a season means anything less than 100 million and we shouldn't even be picking up the phone . That Højlund for example cost 64 million and if that's the going rate for an average young striker then Isak is worth at least 120 million.

Lethal is right. So fucking sharp and God knows how he generates the power he does. 

He’s probably a better all round player than Haaland, but some on here think he’s worth only £80m. The lad is a superstar.

Not seen one person in here who thinks that. But if you search up the trolls on different fan bases, they will say anything between 40-60m.

Someone a few pages back suggested £80m would be a decent fee.  
 

It was only one person mind. 

 

Nobody said this. I said £80m "wasn't an insult," because it isn't; no one is insulting anyone by putting 80 million quid on the table. It matches the most anyone in this league has ever paid for a striker excluding the Blue lunatics. And I said £17m was a decent profit, which it is, thanks to the backwards world of PSR. How many clubs have turned a profit on an investment that big?

 

However, it's possible to think all of the above whilst also being absolutely certain that we shouldn't (and wouldn't) blink at such an offer.

Conjo said this a few pages back, so you may want to double check. And  you said ‘£17m was a decent profit’, absolute bollocks on one of the world’s  best strikers.

I can't find it; can you quote it? 

 

Re the profit; if we'd bought him for £20million I'd agree with you. :pow:

 

The underlying point to my whole argument since Bailey printed his garbage is that £100m+ just isn't gonna be a thing we see a lot of because I believe the market is 'deflating.' Isak is potentially an exception, and my first post on the matter was that we should be looking for £90-100m. (In the unlikely scenario of him departing)

Nobody is saying £80m is a good fee. We're just speculating that we might not be able to get as much for him as many think we should under certain circumstances in a hypothetical scenario :lol:
