Some of these young kids will see stuff online and just go with it or their parents are on places like this and they hear them talking about it. They all sound young so the fact they're effing and jeffing out in the street suggests theyre not having the best parental guidance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't all those bad players we've fired year after year because they weren't good enough for our club, or whom we've told to find a future, think the same? I know what you're trying to say but as people have been saying, this is not the problem. Isak wanting to leave is not the problem, it's how he's doing as everyone keeps explaining. In your example that would be like Howe refusing to pay a player whom he doesn't fancy anymore and leaking to the media that he's shite and not wanted. As you know the club at least under the current management does exactly the opposite, people like Lascelles who clearly aren't anywhere near the first team continue to be treated with top respect and professionalism. You could say maybe Man Utd are doing this to Hojlund, but even they're not refusing to honor his contract. Again, I get your point that there's aspects of what Isak might have been told that we dont know, but there's still no excuses for how he's treating the club, his coworkers and the fans. He's an absolute areshole. He's acted like an entitled priveleged prick, most people have issues at work but we don't have the option of throwing our toys out of the pram and most wouldn't give up on their coworkers in times of need. So, I repeat, Isak is a priveleged tit. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I repeat, Isak is a priveleged tit. Agreed. I don't get the point about clubs not honouring player's contracts. Its up to the manager whether they get selected or not, play in the reserves etc. That's not a breach of contract, they still get paid (unlike a regular job btw, where you just get fired or made redundant). Isak is clearly breaching the terms of his contract, actively damaging the club, and colluding with an opponent club. Its pretty unprecedented. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 12573 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 8 hours ago, ewerk said: This is because we weren't previously shopping in the same markets as those clubs. We're desperately unlucky that Isak has decided to down tools at the same point as when Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea were all looking for forwards. Think the last time so many top clubs were shopping for the same position was 2017. It's uncommon and yet was pretty predictable, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 11894 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 My new favourite scenario is for Isak to stay, making himself available for the sake of it but scoring 30+ goals and only to even increase his value. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikko 105 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 If he stays he’ll be back and doing the business for us by October. As I see it there’s a few scenarios: 1. Liverpool stump up the cash and he fucks off. We get our pants pulled down for Wissa or Larsen or whoever and struggle for 6-12 months. Hopefully we get the scouts finding the right prospects for a quality replacement in January or Summer 26. 2. They don’t and he stays. He can then sulk for as long as he likes. The longer he does the less likely a top club signs him. He loses. NUFC loses. So that won’t last too long. He needs to be playing and scoring to be attractive for a move. The route back needs some honest attrition on both sides. There’s fault both ends. Set a £150m+ release clause on him playing well or scoring 20+ goals this season. He gets the certainty and a motivation to do well. Just glad it’s not me who has to resolve this nonsense. Get enough of this bollocks at work but at least thats with no press involved or social media dickheads stirring the pot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Dingleberry, it was predictable that at least Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool would be shopping for a new striker in the summer window. Possibly Spurs, and Chelsea too. So, with that being the case, it would have made way way more sense to do our business early as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can usually tell the measure of a man by the loyalty he has to those in his life - and especially at the age of 25, as a younger man, Isak should have a mentor/mentee relationship with Howe. I wouldn't have dreamed of conducting myself in the way that has gone on here with my mentor from back then, even if I'd wanted to move on for more money or whatever. Pathetic really. Should be ashamed of himself. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
