I hope this is the case, not that I don’t want Isak, but it puts us in a strong bargaining position as a club as he is IMO not a necessity signing, he is a luxury signing.
It seems as with Newcastle’s way in their rebuttal of our offer, we have stood firm and Newcastle’s response will possibly make Isak even more pissed off wit them.
Sometimes setting our stall out and being ruthless says to other clubs that we aren’t pushovers
Was always going to be a deal that happened late in the window, especially given their complete lack of expertise in the transfer department. Best to ignore all the noise until they get a couple of players in.
