Firstly, if we trigger the release clause then that likely means the money has to be paid up front, something that is a problem for any club including us. Secondly, the player can tell Frankfurt that he has no intention of joining us and only wants to go to Liverpool. It isn't always a case of who offers the most wins.

I don't think Liverpool will have it as easy this year because Slot is trying to bring in his own players to prove he hasn't just won the league with Klopps team. Regardless, they'll probably offer higher wages anyway. You get that once they're here though. Pick any of the lads who are now stars in our team and totally bought in to the place (Bruno, Tonali, Botman, etc), and had they been given a straight choice between us or Liverpool when they were joining, none of them would be here. And that's fine, it's totally understandable. Edited July 17 by Gemmill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 9909 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 49 minutes ago, Gemmill said: Given the straight choice, any player without a previous affiliation to either club would prefer them. In the last 10 years, they've won: PL x 2 CL FA Cup League Cup x 2 In the last 70 years, we've won one domestic trophy. We can't be in a huff if players prefer to join a club that has a much better recent record than us. Aye. We should probably leave him alone after this but I foresee another approach next summer when it doesn’t work out a Liverpool. 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 15603 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 It's a problem for the vermin, they want Isak (not happening) but their only glimmer of hope is we get Ekitike and it turns out he's a replacement. They buy Ekitike out from under us and they extinguish their (imaginary) glimmer of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a croc of bollocks! Well, technically dilemma usually means a choice between equally bad selections. I dont see the thurd option as being bad here. Honestly though, time we scrapped PSR and stopped treating players as chattel. Edited July 17 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 7483 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Sky claiming that if Isak doesn't go this summer he is /very likely/ to go next summer. None of them know anything, if you could flat out ask they'd have nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 63249 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 The Athletic have got an article about "Newcastle's Isak dilemma" as well which opens with the "conundrum" we face. They're so used to asking "what difficult decision does lesser club A need to make now that favoured club B would like one of their assets?" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if 5 weeks on Monday he's in a black & white shirt alongside Isak ripping seven shades of shit out of van Dijk & Konate and we pick up 3 points I'll forgive him for being a prick.

Alex 42155 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I think MF had it spot on when we were first in for the lad. I.e. his surname sounds like the noise you make when you’re tickling a baby or a toddler. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like that has any relevance to why we should sign him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2869 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I'm finding this transfer saga quite tedious, I don't want to be duking it out with Liverpool in a dutch auction, to sign some moody french beanpole who probably has no intention of playing for us ever. Im getting flashbacks to the Guehi debacle last summer and I really havent got the stamina for this shit. I much preferred the days when the first we knew about a new signing was the press conference. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
