Craig 12390 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Smelling less of Blue Pop and more of a whiff of 'goes to Asda in PJs and fucking rollers in the hair!' Go have a minute's silence and fuck off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 8367 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Wouldn't surprise me if scouse. For some reason they can't stand the idea that anyone anywhere thinks poorly of them and seem to need to defend their honour at every turn. Serial victims who are better at whining than they are even at football. Either way though, it doesn't look like they're going to come back with another bid at this point so Isak is going to have to accept that they've fucked him over, especially with Sesko now not happening. Reintegration surely the only way forward now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 12390 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Yep Sesko was realistically Isak’s last opportunity to force the move this summer. Can’t see it happening now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's hard to imagine we're going to accept it then, because as it stands we'd be going into the season with no senior striker. And I continue to believe Isak won't down tools.

Aye, there's zero point in going any further down the list of possible replacements and wasting money on the wrong player. Stick with Isak and get Wissa in as Wilson's replacement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63312 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Howe's press conference tomorrow should be interesting. I'm assuming he's doing one ahead of the weekend games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 12390 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 The massive question is whether Isak's position is still recoverable. I believe it is, and I believe the hard line Eddie is taking with him right now will have a positive outcome for us. There's no guarantees, and it's gut instinct but I think he can get his head back in the game. Would love him to play a fortnight on Monday and give those Scouse cunts an absolute hiding.

Liverpool will move in again if Newcastle buy a couple of strikers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 1058 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I'd imagine the race will now be on to get him "match fit" for the Villa game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 12390 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Not exclusive, no, but the realisation that we'll have gone through the entire pre-season without Isak featuring once is massively frustrating in terms of hitting the ground running. Whether that is down to this 'thigh injury' or whether it's all a case of Liverpool fucking with his head, I guess we'll only ever know if he gets his move and is miraculously 100% fit to crack on. Infuriating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 42163 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 1 hour ago, Howey said: Lots of clubs have their players bid for/heads turned etc. Painful example would be Coutinho- Liverpool didn't want him to leave. They got the deal done and re-invested. We had a a barbecue, lose out on multiple players and blame a "Cartel" etc etc Its not a good look Who exactly do you think you’re fooling at this point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 12390 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I’m largely ambivalent when it comes to football. I’ve grown accustomed over the years to being disappointed with my lot but fuck me, I’m finding this summer exceptionally hard. It’s abysmal.

I don't think the season will play out as badly as this summer has, mind. We should still be a lot stronger by the time we kick off. I feel bad for Howe but hopefully it lights a fire to make a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 12390 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I admire the optimism Rayvin. The reality is we’ve had one in and one out in the goalkeeping ranks, we’ve moved on a central midfielder and a striker and replaced neither, we’ve strengthened our RW options which is indeed a step forward, however we find ourselves in a position where the one striker we could rely on and who we thought might be a single point of failure, doesn’t want to be here. To top that off, the bloke supposedly hired last summer to drive recruitment fucked off 2 days into the summer and we’ve no sign of a replacement, nor for the fella above who announced 10 months ago he was stepping down. Even by our standards, it’s a fucking shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get Wissa done. Aside from that I reckon our efforts are probably best placed in getting Isak’s head back in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even by our standards, it’s a fucking shambles. It is, but the strongest aspect of our club at the moment is actually the playing team and management. We still have very good players, and a very good manager. This summer has all been about the board and recruitment teams, which have indeed been shambolic - but there's no reason to assume that carries into the playing team. We'll still be a good team, just not as good as we could have been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
