duo Posted Wednesday at 19:38 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:38 (edited) Isak will write his own history at the club and make the 14 ionic - he's truly world class. Edited Wednesday at 19:38 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he could really mount a resistance if Isak asked for it Isak is every bit a 14 imo.

Stifler Posted Wednesday at 19:47 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:47 Nah, keep him at 14, our best forward doesn’t need to be wearing the 9 shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted Wednesday at 19:48 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:48 I wouldn’t change the number, he’s more than a striker and a number 9. 14 feels right more than 9 for me now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were about to play Arsenal and Isak was maybe aware of what games the media were and still are playing. Of course he threw in one of our own number fourteen legends because he’s mint and dreamy and I love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted Wednesday at 21:31 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:31 I'd like to see him wearing the number 9, like, definitely. I'd like for that to still be an important piece of club culture and he would wear it very well. Sadly I don't think he gives a fuck about that particular tradition.

cannybagoftudor Posted Wednesday at 21:51 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:51 Controversial possibly - but do we still need the iconic No. 9 jersey. In my 60 years it has been a bit of a crutch to a not too successful team perhaps it is no longer required as a talisman to past success? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted Wednesday at 22:03 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:03 Nothing associated with us needs to carry any baggage or negative expectations now, we're a new club. I would kind of like to see Isak wear 9 but also can't help a bit of superstation about changing his shirt when he's done so well.

Nobody Posted Wednesday at 22:28 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:28 Don't want to upset Longstaff, but if we do sell him in the summer, it would be nice if Isak got his original number 36 back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarie4 Posted Wednesday at 22:38 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:38 3 hours ago, Gawalls said: I hate to be the voice of doom but I honestly don’t think he’ll sign a new contract, I think he’ll stay another year then depending on if we get CL he’ll with his options next summer. These are two mutually exclusive scenarios; it must be one or the other. Financially, for Isak (with three years remaining on his contract this summer), the decision is between signing a new contract or seeking a transfer. If he only had two years left, that would be more easily understood. His agent and advisors would be negligent if they did not recognize this significant financial consideration. He would risk forfeiting at least one to two million pounds in wages. His rumored current weekly wage is £120,000. If offered £180,000 to £200,000 per week, he might consider signing with a release clause or an agreement allowing him to leave the following year if the team fails to meet certain targets or if a suitable club makes an offer. Not signing, and not moving means he is losing at least £60,000 in wages weekly. This makes little financial sense, as he could still pursue a transfer the following year.

It means the people in the city and the surrounding areas can attend. The whole route is going to be absolute chocka block, with everyone giving their utter adulation throughout. Everyone on the bus, players, coaching staff, directors and the wife's are going to be blown away by what they experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or shifting him out wide or to 10 to accommodate Wilson. When we finished 4th. The way both were playing and scoring. It wouldn’t be as ridiculous to suggest we play both, TBF.

ExiledGeordie Posted Thursday at 07:39 Share Posted Thursday at 07:39 (edited) It’s only going to get worse. People are naive if they think there’s no chance he goes this summer though. I think we’ll get CL though and he’ll sign a new contract. Edited Thursday at 07:44 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
