I’m conscious of fact unless we can really give him a huge wage this’ll be his last season with us I'm only joking bud. Bored and following the game on here will do funny things to a man. 😆 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any scenario involving selling Isak is a no from me. Seriously, we know that if Isak plays 30 games next season, he'll score at least 20 goals.

duo Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 We really do need to make some moves in the market - start showing Isak the ambition to compete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 The lesson we have to learn is that if we want to shop at the top table, we have to be wiling to pay what the selling club wants. Haggle and another club will be in there getting the deal done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT24 Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 Imagine how hard it’s going to be to do deals when clubs know we have 200m in the bank from Isak being sold to Al Hilal. Saudi tax + PL tax + Isak tax = one unhappy Andy Howe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem we have is PIF who seem determined to get the best possible deal - if you watch the Amazon doc with the Gordon transfer we nearly lost the deal over £5mil.

Let’s not kid ourselves this is what will make a difference to Isak. The difference is are we going to pay him £350kpw+ or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't compete with one hand tied behind our back or risking upsetting everyone else at the club in lower wages that will demand an increase.

gbandit Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 Fair comments, I don’t doubt the industry but we clearly have a very rigid set up, a very small scouting team and a very small negotiating team. Therefore I totally understand why Howe is not confident. Let’s hope the one thing we can control - our rigidity - changes before the end of the window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 Can't help but think those comments are the first of a very gentle "don't be surprised if we get fuck all else in" warning from Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelrouser Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 We just spent £55 million on Elanga and we still need a GK, RCB, and CM. It makes sense we have to be careful with the prices moving forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPar Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 I'm self imploding, I need to avoid football forums until the window closes. It's bringing out the worst in me. It's so frustrating. All this Isak stuff has burned my toast and melted my brain. I'll come back to see how its all panned out when I get out of the mental health ward.

Honestly think that unless they get their shit in a pile immediately and sign some quality then Isak will just be the first and more will inevitably follow. The 'short career' comment Howe made today applies to all of them and if they see Isak leave then that's the green light for Tonali, Botman, Bruno et al. It's a major situation and needs to be handled correctly. Got virtually zero faith in the set of people off the park to sort this out. I'm massively hopeful they prove me wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted July 19, 2025 Share Posted July 19, 2025 Aye, it's starting to look like we're going to start the season with the same squad we have now basically. Absolute disaster of a window so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
