I don't really understand why we should give a fuck if it's a British record fee or not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 42072 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) British record thing is being mentioned so it appears we’re being unreasonable if we tell Liverpool to fuck right off. Or even if we don’t offer signs of encouragement so Liverpool can go about making the initial preparations ahead of readying their record breaking bid Edited August 26 by Alex 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 26309 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 We simply can’t let him go without getting two strikers of sufficient quality. Can all of this really happen with less than a week of the window to go? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaser 1914 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 If he's not willing to sign a contract and Liverpool come forward with a £130m offer, if be saying to him that if hands in a transfer request he can go for £130m otherwise the valuation is the valuation and any less than £150m he will stay and be fined until he returns to training and playing. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has all been about Liverpool forcing a sale on their terms and getting a discount, and fucking us over in the process. It'd be mission accomplished, I really hope we're not that stupid.

It won't be about being stupid in the end though, it'll be weighing up the cost of the two outcomes in the balance and picking the lesser evil. I hope the idea of keeping him is the lesser evil, but it might not be in the club's eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the idea of keeping him is the lesser evil, but it might not be in the club's eyes. I take your point of course, all very sensible, but it's stupid to me. We'll have allowed ourselves to be victimised by Liverpool, and Isak and his agent. It provides a road map for every player that wants to force a move to a bigger club on their terms. I'm not the club's CFO so I don't care about the money, for me it's about pride 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 12325 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) Letting him go before the deadline makes zero sense. We’d have been better off engaging with Liverpool 4 weeks again and negotiating a deal. Can’t even argue the delay is to sign someone cos we haven’t! Selling him results in the actions of the player, his agent and his potential future employers looking vindicated. We’d look like fucking idiots. He stays beyond September 1st for me - if for nothing else to see how he handles having to choose whether to strike for half a World Cup year, or back down.

Comparing it to striking workers standing up for themselves too btw. https://www.football365.com/news/mediawatch-isak-strike-excused-newcastle-liverpool-fraud popped up on my feed last week. At least he's consistent. Only about other clubs players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 26309 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Bruno has said in an interview with ESPN that we miss Isak and need him back. Door being held wide open for reintegration by both manager and captain now 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Door being held wide open for reintegration by both manager and captain now Bruno holding out the olive branch is massive for me. Was thinking about it earlier, in particular his follow up Instagram post to Isak's one. If Isak does want to fall back in, he needs the captain on side. I wasn't sure he'd fully have it so this is pleasing to read. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure he'd fully have it so this is pleasing to read. i thought the same about bruno's instagram post after isak's statement. i suspect some of the players might be less sympathetic towards isak's position than others but this could mean they have been told to fall in line and that he is indeed going to be reintegrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 62983 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Bruno chatting and making nice with Isak while Osula quietly gets down on all fours directly behind him. One push, Isak hits the deck, and the boots coming flying in, all of them shouting "alreet wor kid" every time they land a blow. Good old fashioned Geordie Justice. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
