Weird how Wolves aren’t cry-arsing about Newcastle low-balling them for their striker…

It might be because they sense they can rinse Newcastle for at least 20 million more than he’s worth

I wonder if they might go for Samu, feels like he’s been hyped for a couple of seasons but no-one has taken the plunge on him as yet.

He looks a more than decent player, I think he could be a very good signing for Newcastle. That height too makes him another awkward threat from set pieces.

Isak’s situation is untenable. After what’s been posted by him. There’s no way the fans will accept him back.

There is also hope that Howe can talk him around, depending on who you listen to. As it stands though he is in limbo and going nowhere.
That could have been written any time since we bought Ekiteke.

It’s cute how the Newcastle narrative is that they would have sold Isak to us had we not gone in for Ekitike.

The Athletic’s podcast this week was oddly supportive of Newcastle in this despite addressing the myriad issues of how they created this situation for themselves.
According to them, Newcastle openly spoke about their understanding this had to be a multiphase project because of PSR. They understood and accepted it would require several buy low sell high cycles and this was explicitly discussed internally and to journos when they landed Bruno. They then conducted a window that saw them spend more than any other side in the world, way above what the club itself could fund and so accelerated when the PSR limits would bite. They talk about both Isak (injury to Wilson) and Gordon (drama at everton) being moves they made that were accelerated relative to their financial situation, which they did with a nod that the refresh cycle with big sales had to come. But they didn’t do it and landed themselves in a deep PSR hole that threatened to undermine last season. They talk about Howe claiming last season was his biggest ever achievement because of how much discontent there was within the playing staff at the start of the season about the situation at large at the club and what a few key players thought it meant for their career trajectory. They cite Isak being one and then concede that it is acknowledged that by the end of the season Isak gave them a “I gave you that extra year, now I expect to be allowed to leave, as you promised when I signed.”
Yet Newcastle are the victims here and being screwed by a unreasonably want away player who ambushed them? There is just a really weird disconnect here between what people acknowledge they know and what the narrative is.

Yes they will - a humble apology and a goal makes everything better.

Not to mention all the talk of Liverpool leaving things late in the window despite making a bid at the start of August. Newcastle themselves are now making first time bids for players with a week left of the window, claiming that the player is to replace Wilson, and yet I’ve not seen one media outlet mention the timing of their bid and sticking up for Wolves who’d then potentially be left short.
The hypocrisy on the whole thing has been quite something to observe. Even when Shearer was directly asked what the difference was between Newcastle and Wissa and Liverpool and Isak he managed to completely swerve the question and just laid into Isak some more.
