No problem you Silver Tongued Devil !!! You appeared to be struggling with the concept !!!

If you are targeting top players then you have to expect top clubs will be looking at them as well. If you are not able to go head to head with the big boys then shop in a different market.

Yes .. Brentford typically don't pay big wages so maybe ...

I don't see Wissa being interested in Saudi.

I agree. .... Isak will play when Howe gives him a chance. Liverpool will move in again if Newcastle buy a couple of strikers.

I suspect that Liverpool will back..... With Isak being in the Howe dog house I think the Scousers will look to stir the pot a little more.

A certain amount of blame can be allotted to Liverpool for stirring the shit but they sensed weakness & exploited it.

I think he will sell for around 50m. He is the type of player Howe could really do something with.

Why does keeping him improve his value ? I would have his value would drop.

I guess it all depends on what Sesko & RB Leipzig decide to do next ... So much BS from the media that it's hard to know what is actually going on.

Apparently Howe had the day off as well.

I apologize if I appeared to be rude.. I didn't intend it that way.

I agree !! He has to make that statement to show the footballing world that Newcastle cannot be pushed around by a player but we all know that Isak will work hard in training & regain the trust of his teammates & be accepted back .

Not a Liverpool fan but not a Newcastle fan either !! I understand why you believe in Howe but that statement reeks of posturing !! Is he really saying that Isak will be lucky to make it back on the team ?? Howe isn't putting one of the top 5 CF's in the world into the reserve team.

Come on !! It's pure rhetoric from Howe.. Making out like Isak couldn't earn his spot on the team !!! After Isak is returning Howe decides to show the world what a fabulous set of testicles he has . Embarrassing !!!

Man U paid close to 70 million quid a couple of years ago for him but 30 to 35 is all he's worth right now now. They sure know how to lose money !!

Wow .. Top level repartee ... Well Done !!!

Pool aren't finished with this one just yet. SOP is a low opening bid rejected by the sellers followed by a couple more bids. Pool knew that bid wasn't going to be accepted.

I would imagine that the he club recognize this & are trying to make deals but other clubs will know what is going on & adjust their pricing accordingly. Players going public on wanting away usually hurt the sellers position.

It's a tricky call to make !!! I guess a lot would depend on what kind of attitude Isak displays. It is a World Cup year so you would expect him to be professional .

Really !!! Talk of 180 plus 50 in add ons is ludicrous.

Nobody other than the Saudis are paying that kind of money. Everyone knows he wants out & Newcastle don't want or need an unhappy player pissing of the rest of the squad so logic says that a price both clubs can live with will be found. Playing hardball with a player just scares away prospective signings.

I may be the biggest guru but I'm on a diet & trying to lose weight !!!

Fans view the game as a sport .... For clubs & agents, it's a business.

Well said !!!
