Alexander Isak (CF) Newcastle

Could you post that as a Gif for me please? :slightly_smiling_face:

I think Hope is alright. Edwards on the other hand is hilarious, if you didn’t know you’d think he’s just another twitter troll, struggling to believe he’s actually employed by a journal.

Yeah that is a bizarre comment. One the themes of this saga (is it now long enough to be a saga?) is that the words from Howe have long indicated an acceptance that he might, even likely, leave and was in contrast to the firm line connected journos were stating of the club’s official position.

Herein lies the other issue, we are one (if not two) CF’s short. Yes, we have temporary ‘fillers’ but that won’t be enough to compete for all trophies. Will LFC be shooting themselves in the foot if Isak doesn’t happen…?

This to me is rather fair, “Liverpool’s client journalists” have said fuck all.

The problem for Edwards and Cope is they paid to tell a line and then when the big move happened they weren’t fed it and a German journalist beat them to it :joy:

Edwards can continue to bang on about 2 attackers but the point was always to sign someone like this guy. Wissa wasn’t quite the fit that they were replacing so that made sense but the “he’s only replacing Callum Wilson” line is utter bull. It’s around 80m and Wilson contributed one yellow card last season. There isn’t nothing to replace, it’s not like his injuries cost them a great season. They have to sell him now regardless and that will be to Liverpool, because I have no doubt Newcastle have tried to flog him elsewhere.

Ekitike was the natural replacement for Isak.

We’ve seen their stats before and we’ve seen their style of play. Both of them are pretty similar strikers.

That didn’t happen.

I still don’t understand the vitriol towards us. What terrible crime have we committed?
Why are they so angry at us and so forgiving of their own club for letting the situation arise in the first place?

Because we are part of the cartel who are stopping Newcastle’s fairy tale story with unfair rules

Keeping the Little 14 out of the Big 6 is clearly the only thing that matters to us.

Bias and rose tinted specs - things that are visible on most forums to be honest.

There is a feeling among “the Other 14” that PSR was a trap built by “the Big 6” to stop clubs challenging them. Us taking Isak is seen as another confirmation of that.

While I don’t doubt that the top clubs do want to ringfence their dominance it seems to be forgotten that PSR rules were approved by a majority of Premier League clubs.

It’s mainly the likes of Newcastle.

It allows the likes of Villa to come on not to mention the likes of Brighton. There is literally nothing interesting in watching a Man City dominate the league. Everyone wanted to call last season a bore but that bollocks never surfaced under Man City and if it wasn’t for Klopp they would have had more seasons like that.

They are fighting the good fight on behalf of every club who could theoretically be bought by the world’s biggest sovereign wealth fund and power their way to the top of the pyramid through spending money they haven’t earned. It’s a real Robin Hood story.
