Alexander Isak (CF) Newcastle

Who cares? Our players won’t. Isak won’t. Future players won’t.

Ultimately we’ve done nothing wrong. We made an offer, it got rejected, we said fine and have done or said nothing since.

If anything it’s made Newcastle look like a club run by idiots who care more about losing face than anything else.

The club doesn’t want to be seen as not operating correctly. Lets not forget we made a public apology to Southampton on the initial Virg fiasco.

Is there a striker out there that has the chance to get close to the level of Mo/Kane/Haaland in the next 2-3 years?

What impact did that have on anything that followed.

Zero, because everyone is at this stuff but doesn’t want to admit it.

Why did we apologise then.

Craig Hope?

So you’re asking why we apologised when we hadn’t done anything wrong? Clearly you have never been married :joy:

Because it helped us get the outcome we wanted. Simple as.

But you said it makes no difference how things are perceived.

No I didn’t, I said how we’re perceived has no impact. Which it doesn’t.

There’s only two clubs who won’t do business with us and in neither case is that because of anything we’ve actually done other than simply exist.

Nope and that kind of price should be reserved for what I call top players, maybe Isak could get there with Liverpool but he isn’t that level yet and maybe injuries have stopped him achieving the same numbers?

If Eze goes to Arsenal and we don’t bring in anyone this is a 5 out of 10 window signed Wirtz good signing was he really needed when they have ignored made a right arse up of attacking options.

I would say he has the best chance to get there - hence the gamble.

$110m or $120 but not $150m, my opinion, which is worth sweet FA, is we won’t go there.

They really have slept on the attack this summer, what with the £80m spent on Ekitike, the £110m offer for Isak and that new contract for Mo.

Wtf are you on about?

Arsenal seem to have signed a striker who doesn’t appear to be any better than the one that left Coventry a few years back. There seemed to be very little change in how they performed last week. Zubimendi looked rather poor, I would say at this moment they’ve moved no closer to us. If we do buy Guehi we’ve probably had a better window. If we sell Elliott we will certainly bring someone in up front and you’ve added the dimension of Wirtz who will hopefully create more options for our forwards

Gyokeres didn’t look good agreed but Ekitike has played in 2 games Nunez looked good at first. If we don’t add a replacement for Diaz and Jota topped with looking like Harvey is off too thats a good window. All the talk at the summer was strengthen from a position of strength so far thats not happened.

Harvey would hardly be replacing in fact one player could cover all three players. Wirtz has to be considered in that. Yes we need another attacker I’m just not sold on how great Arsenal’s window was.

You could claim Zubimendi was a luxury.
