Alexander Isak (CF) Newcastle

Getting Virg + Southampton deja vu. I think we’ll get this over the line in January :crystal_ball:

To be fair it’s my theory on it to be honest. No one else has gone in for him and no noise is being made about it.

It could also be that Newcastle is leaking that stuff about Liverpool being out in order to persuade Isak to come back.

I think its the other way its Liverpool saying to the Izak camp you need to kick up more fuss and force the issue more.

It’s all part of the game. Isak will be one unhappy boy now. I believe this will still happen.

@moderators why are some posts being deleted?

And concidering how well they have done with their targets so far this widow, I think we can all see how likely that is to happen :rofl:

Because they’re off-topic.

Back to Isak please.

Each to their own I guess but I thought last summer failed to do some key business but I understand why they held off.

Not sure the Isak pursuit is nonsense. Huge deal like that was never going to be simple but that shouldn’t stop us trying to get the best striker possible.

To be honest what more could he do…

Flatly refuse to come back.

The FSG out brigade will have to find something else to wet their pants about now we’ve spent a kings ransom.

It’s pretty much what he is saying…

I’m not sure I want him though with this attitude if I’m honest.

“Craig Cope”

I’m not concerned about Isak’s attitude yet. For me it comes down to his personal ambition, he could be a Newcastle legend if he stayed and didn’t push for leaving but Newcastle are a project that as they are showing this summer, isn’t going to progress fast.

So if he wanted to play for a team that’ll challenge for titles regularly, a move was needed and moves to bigger clubs then Newcastle don’t actually come around that often, as we can see by only us being in for him this summer. So with Newcastles owners it was always going to need him to push for the move to have any chance of it happening.

Clipped Andy Hunter in the Guardian:

“Given how swiftly Newcastle rejected their offer, Liverpool consider it futile to return with a second bid before the transfer window closes on 1 September. Their offer of £110m for the want-away player remains on the table.”

It’s there when they’ve had enough or they get someone to replace him.

Liverpool have unsettled Isak?

Bullshit. Reports that he informed Newcastle that this would be his final season with them after the renaged on a contract promise, suggest that the only club who unsettled the lad were Newcastle themselves.

He wanted out irrespective of Liverpool sniffing about. We just happen to be the only game in town.
