They might be hoping for Liverpool to come back in. He should have done this as soon as the season finished tbh. For both parties.

Given the options available to him, I suppose it shouldn't be a massive shock if he's still here for this season. Man City don't need him Liverpool just dropped a shit load on floral Sport Billy bag boy Arsenal signed Gyokeres Chelsea have already spent £80m on forwards this summer Real have Mbappe Barca are skint Can Bayern afford him? Maybe PSG? I dunno. If he wants away and his mind is made up, I think I'd sooner we got money for him now but I don't really know what his options are.

Staveley did well in the first couple of windows, but it is a fact that she a) did so relatively free of PSR constraint because of Ashley's non-spending and b) was the architect of last summer's PSR emergency which saw us sell two promising players. Which is why I say that her transfer efforts have been mythologised. Arsehole.

So you're scared of me then. Scaredy cunt.

Whatever we pay him, he could probably get more elsewhere AND have a better chance of winning things. I don't think this is about forcing us into contract talks. He wants to go.

If I was him, I'd kick fuck out of Isak for not telling me he was about to nick off.

I think I followed you first thing this morning. Will drop you some sponsorship too. I couldn't work out if it's set up yet or not.

This is bound to have an unsettling impact on the rest of the squad btw. What a fucking mess.

They still haven't completed the Gyokeres deal, have they? Not that I imagine for a second that we could hijack it. We can't even sell people the project anymore cos they can all see what's actually happening is a million miles away from the story the current players have been sold.

And there's no sign at all of it changing btw. It's not like it's happened and they've now got their act together.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Howe is thinking about his next move. He's been repeatedly let down by the club.

No he hasn't man. He'll have sources other than that or he would have done this two days ago when those quotes came out. No point shooting the messenger.

This is very true. It'll either light a fire under the ownership or cause them to lose interest. Eales needs to go immediately btw. I know he's ill, but he's presided over a fucking shitshow.

I can't really blame the lad tbf. There's more money and more trophies elsewhere and he's basically one of the best strikers in the world. Gutted though, I hate the situation and the ridiculous financial rules that are completely fucking our chances of ever competing.

Time to sell.

Well I hope you're both right.

And what do you do with the player? It's pointless trying to hold on to him if he's mentally already left.

Cos we've got a £150m asset who appears to be refusing to engage with pre season. Us telling them to fuck off is what got us here.

Congratulations on spreading the discussion across three threads btw, you dopey fucks.

At this stage I feel we should just be going to Liverpool and saying "right if you want him, it's £150m and you've got a deadline of next Friday to sort a deal or it's off" I don't think they can afford him now this summer anyway, but that needs to be brought to the surface so the player sees it and can straighten his fucking face or find another club to go to. This whole situation has been a fucking disaster. I'm not buying it that we shouldn't have bid for Ekitike though. That's not why Liverpool came in for Isak, they were going to do that anyway.

Weird that this is happening mind, cos @Dr Gloom was absolutely adamant that he was a great lad who just wasn't the sort to do this type of thing, and was content with just being an NUFC club legend for winning the Carabao Cup.

Isak has not travelled to Singapore with the rest of the squad.... Whether it's just cos of his injured thigh or not, who knows.

Whether he gets away with it or not, he's being absolutely tortured by all this at the minute. Totally off his game, fucking flailing every time he's asked about it in front of a camera. We can at least enjoy that.
