Isak is gone.

I don’t know if he said anything wrong though, at least what is cited here in this article. If the player group feels he is destructive, what can he do but hope it blows over or he gets sold ?
It seems as if the Toons are just waiting for another bid and it’s a strange situation they have put themselves in. Holding on to unhappy players fighting for a move, rarely ends well. Then on top of that, it’s a hell of a lot of money too.

As a coach you don’t care about a “distraction”. What you don’t want though is a situation where you are wasting training reps on a player you all know won’t be part of the group come the start of the season. Tha5 to me tells me they accept he’s gone

£120m + £10m bonus to win the EPL + £10m bonus to win the UCL + £10m bonus to be top scorer in the EPL.
Get it done.

That’s actually doable with the team we have assembled. Just make it 130 and quit.
Its actually a joke imo, if anyone is signing for a fee of £120 million plus, like fuck should there be add ons if they win things with us…

Some posters on here think they know how to negotiate including claiming that they are doing multi-hundred million deals themselves, only to laughably do a Ewar woowar and offer more than the seller would accept.

£120m + £5m each for the PL and the UCL, £10m if he wins Eurovision, and £10m if he is the first Swede on the moon.
In all seriousness, I would not be surprised if this ends up being structured in such a way that enables Newcastle to keep their pride over the £150m asking price, but inclusive of add ons that haven’t a cat in hells chance of paying out.

I expect that email (verbatim) will be copied and sent by Hughes. I expect the first line will be the real deal clincher. I hope he sends you a cut of the deal team fee afterwards.

Misspelling his name would add a certain air of nonchalance.

Adds a bit if politeness though. Along with the camel stuff. I ask for Isak…
Better check it for embarrassing spelling mistakes first.
Newcastle have sand and camels?! No wonder the Saudis purchased them!

There’s a beach out at Whitley Bay that’s usually covered in shite, and they will generally smoke anything. I’m sure Camels count as tabs.

Good for us /but I still doubt this is not the end of the story/. The club can sign both Rodrygo and Barcola for around 150 mln. pounds which is what the barcodes want for Isak.

Right. But after that they will sell.
