    According to reports. It's also reported that he's told them he'll only sign if they pay him £60m per season. So what's that, about £1,150,000 per week?

    I agree this is total bollocks. He knows he’s good. But he’s not worth that.

    He wants 300k plus which is probably right for the world’s (dubious) best striker.

    Hes made a bed for himself though.

    Yeah. The guy is a Turkish shipping magnet. She went to court with him and lost after selling her shares here. The dispute is still ongoing and the courts are seriously considering bankruptcy unless she pays up. It's currently under appeal as she states that the interest put on it was over the top.

    She uses other peoples money. Simple as that. Was great for us but you can't be a director of a UK company when declared bankrupt.

    She’s what would be called in the sales industry as a blagger.

    And she doesn't show up at airports with home-made 1st Class AirMiles vouchers printed on lined paper.

    Said this exact thing a few weeks ago.

    A big player was always going to be sold at some point and that point has come it seems. When you look at it from a non supporting (buisness) point of view Isak makes the most sense - we’d probably have to sell two of Tonali, Bruno and Livarmento to make a similar amount of profit. Reinvest the money well on another top quality striker and you have plenty left to get a young CM gem, a CB that’s desperately needed and upgrade in goal - good business, but not great for the fans atm.

    They stopped Keegan on the steps when Cole was sold, we sang for Cabaye to stay, there will always be comings and goings, it’s what you do next that matters most.

    my mindset is “what the **** are ya gonna do?” - footballers change clubs and chase money and silverware. It’s 6-10 years at the top and - as someone very rightly said about 10 pages ago - we weren’t criticising Isak’s character when we bought him from a club whose supporter also didn’t want him to go. It’s just the game.

    All the comments I’ve read tonight…. I’ve landed on “the club goes on” - players are for a few years, NUFC is for life. I can cope some ups and downs, we’ve got Champions League and a Cup and we’re not looking at relegation - pop me in a Time Machine to 2020 and I’d take your ****ing arm off to be where we are now; different world.

    PSR is the problem, not the club.

    When you do go back on time to 2020, please can you let me know what the winning Lotto numbers will be for the following weekend. Cheers mate.

    Oh and the numbers for the week after that. Just to make sure. <cheers>

    Ironically, if we sell Isak and reinvest the funds wisely we will be better for it.

    The sale potentially gets us 3 or 4 quality players including (hopefully) Sesko who will be lethal.
