Holden McGroin 9903 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Isak "optimistic of a move". I bet he is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 8362 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I dunno, it's possible we've asked them to downplay it for now. A courtesy they'd surely give us if we're taking a lowered fee. I want him to stay, somehow in the whole thing I wish there would be a way back for him, but if this is happening it's better to go through after our game at least otherwise it's all the team are gonna hear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 8362 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 His first interview, not that I'll watch it, is going to be painful. I'm gonna go for a Michael Owen tribute in terms of his excuses - "If the fans only understood what went on..." etc etc. I sincerely hope he says nothing about us at all tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamTaylor5 1783 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 If Liverpool do not bid again. I am not sure how people will spin this into NUFC holding the player hostage. I would even like it if something came out that Liverpool got cold feet after Isak decided to react the way he did. I would be extremely concerned if I was hoping to employ an exciting new member of staff and then found out that they spat their dummy out and turned on their current employer. Part of me wonders if Isak would be in the right frame of mind to play even if he did get his 'dream move' to Liverpool. Something about the way he has handled this full situation will have surely changed his outlook on life, his self-entitlement and his work ethic. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't have done this and held my head up afterwards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only got himself to blame so it’s hard to feel any sympathy, particularly as a Newcastle supporter. But what you just posted reminded me of something a mate of mine said about 3 or 4 weeks ago. He reckoned that if Isak could’ve turned back the clock to the beginning of the summer he’d would’ve done things completely differently. I think that’s probably true. He’s acted so bizarrely and unprofessionally that his doubling down is the easiest option now because, at least until next week, reintegrating, apologising and fronting up to what he’s done is too much while there’s a chance he won’t need to. Whatever happens he’s placed a huge amount of scrutiny and pressure on himself and his performances. Then there’s the complete lack of a pre-season. If the move happens you could really see him struggling to live up to the hype and expectation. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 28542 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 If he does stay, a lot of people say as soon as he scores we will have all forgotten about it IMO I don't think it's going to be that simple. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the fans to win over either, is it? If you look at the article about Longstaff I posted it’s apparent they’re a very tightly knit group of players. I think they’ll all feel betrayed by the way he’s gone about things and how that’s probably robbed us of 5 points already. The backroom staff will feel the same you’d think and then there’s the manager most of all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 43933 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Isak trying sneak in for a medical at the Liverpool training ground but was spotted apparently, one or two onlookers witnessed it. Was meant to be kept quiet. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 15593 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 The murderers will bid lowball and late, hoping we've spent on the basis cash for the rat is coming in, which I don't believe we have btw. I hope we tell them to fuck off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to be honest there are so many factors involved with this for it to be impossible to judge. Say he apologised a few weeks back and he scored 100th minute winner against Liverpool, hard to not be over the moon and it not impact on how we feel towards him. He apologised a few weeks ago, played and scored the 3rd to make it 3-0 on 60th minute. The emotions are not the same. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 9903 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Interesting that both Wissa and now JSL aren’t in their squads today. Surely we won’t be signing both so someone is going to be a bit sore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 9903 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 It would be pretty mental for Liverpool not to be in some form of discussion. They need to know how much it would take to buy Isak - even if that’s not what they’ll offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool made one joke offer and then nothing more. It’s doesn’t appear that they’re committed to doing business anywhere near as much as Isak is.
