Just wait until he signs for Real Madrid on a free in a few years. They’ll be so angry they’ll cut the brakes on his lambo. Hopefully, they get the right lambo next time.

acrossthepond 1178 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 If he goes, he goes. We need to show we're going about this in the right way, though. How we handle it will show how fucked we are at the club level. 1. We should not sell to a domestic rival. 2. If we have to, it should be for a fee approaching 150m or higher. 3. If it isn't, it should be cash up front. Absolutely no part-exchange deals. The buying club should have to suffer the PSR implications, we shouldn't help bail them out. 4. We should have 2 replacements in for him before letting him go, so we don't get fully put over a barrel by the selling clubs. Sesko is my pick; Wissa will do nicely as a Wilson replacement. If it's to Liverpool for 100m or something pathetic like that, we'll know for certain we are not heading in the direction we were led to believe. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 43933 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 If he wants to go sell him to al hilal for £150m plus sell on fee, let him know he can fuck off from Saudi no questions asked when he gets bored after a year and we'll cash in again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 10613 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) No doubt agent initiated to force either a move or a huge pay bump. This might be unpopular, but he is capable of being amongst the absolute best strikers in the world, but he's also capable of looking ineffectual and this can last for a while. That streakiness might leave his game or it might stick around. It also might be due to his propensity for injuries. If he is sold we've seen that at the moment we're not really capable of bringing in his level of developed player. We need to bring them in earlier and hope that Howe can help them develop. It's going to be tough going into the Champion's League with wholly new forward options on the back of little or no time in preseason. This will drag on as well, far from ideal.

The Fish 12574 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 One other thing about how we’re handling it badly: Isak isn't included in Asia squad and the club say it’s because of thigh injury. Barely an hour later Isak’s team says no, he wants to look at other option. So we’re not even in control of the fucking message. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is the common thread - whether it is the case in reality or not, the appearance at the moment is that no one is running the show here. Howe can't do it all, he's limited to the team - Eales is probably completely focused on succession planning and we're likely being operated by several individuals who are out of their depth at the moment.

Isak is an odd player. He scores a lot, sometimes shows world class, but then also misses a lot. I kind of hope this points to the fact we create a lot of chances and the gap left by him can be potentially filled. Am not that bothered about him leaving IF we can reinvest the money to strengthen the whole squad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 26353 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 If I were the chairman I’d sell him to Saudi for £300m then loan him back to us with them paying his wages for the duration of his contract.

Dr Gloom 26353 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Time to hit the nuclear button. This is the first real test of the Saudi’s ambition. They’re not known for being pushed around but the voices online saying they’ve lost interest are growing. It’ll be interesting to see how they react because they’ve played very, very nice so far. In a way few of us expected tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not least because of what proceeded the takeover. But I think they would have been more more amenable to getting Isak an improved contract last summer. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that but it’s a fair point to say they were much better than Mitchell and actually cared about the club far more too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I say that her transfer efforts have been mythologised. Arsehole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
