What a cockhead thing to say “Isak wasn’t playing for SandCastle, Sandcastle were playing for him”. Glad Zlatan never played for us.

Zlatan doesn’t play for anyone, they all play for Zlatan

In the Premier League.
Yeah I think he’s someone you can enjoy watching him play, laugh at his theatre but don’t want him playing on your team (unless you are shite)

Did the 21 goals in 30 PL games in 23-24 not count as a good season?

Can well understand that the price is exorbitant. But he really is the best striker in the premier league.
The most complete CF. Maybe Ekitike if he kicks in from his start can get somewhere close.
But Isak as a complete forward is much ahead of where Haaland is. Even if Haaland does knock in the easy goals

I like this.
I suspect that we’re not paying more than £120m. If Newcastle want that they’ll need to get it done in that time frame, otherwise we close the door on this at least until the next transfer window.
We won’t be paying £120m then, that’s for sure.

I don’t think we’ll see any formal progress until after we play them.
Has nothing to do with it.
It’s not a Guehi situation. Isak has downed tools. Guehi is happy to stay in palace and fulfill his contract.

it does.
They wont let him join before they play us. I think thats always been the case.
I personally dont see this happening now. Brentford just added another 10m to Wissa and Toon cant afford it. Wissa was told last year he could leave in summer for 26m but now they want 60m AND get his replacement in first.
Too many stars have to allign for this to happen now.
Maybe Xmas but not before 01.09

But does it really matter if they can’t get a replacement in hes not training or playing. Its not like hes still in the team and will leave them short they already are.

Well they could afford it if someone was sold for 125m?

And they also do with replacing Wilson too. Even if they spent £60m on Wissa that’d leave them some room to bring in another forward.

I think it gets done. I’m at about 90% on. It’s turned absolutely toxic. Did you see the chanting? Howe can talk about rehabilitating him all he wants. It’s not going to happen.
We’ve got Newcastle on Monday night and I think it happens just after the game.

Yeah, it does. Optics matter in these situations, and Newcastle does not have interest in the possibility of Isak even appearing in red for their next match.

I am dead worried we will lose a few players due to some dodgy tackling. The atmosphere will affect the younger players but not Ekitike.

Yeah Gordon is being a bitter hypocrite over this.

Mate, he is 47. He does not look particularly old for 47 at all. People age at various times and Howe looked younger than he was for a decade. Now he looks his 47. It is, I assure you, entirely natural
