Get in. Get replacements in and let him rot. Get his agent in and say £150m to no PL club, go and make that happen.
We should have just gone back to Liverpool and told them £140m and they likely would have paid it. Being stubborn and trying to be “clever” with him in the reserves etc is just devaluing him anyways. He won’t want to play for us and even if he did it would be half arsed.
We're making an example. You don't disrespect the Saudis and get away with it. That will have come from YAR. Btw - Read "Engulfed" if you get a chance. MBS liaises with YAR on all business matters relating to PIF.
Yes I agree with this. The 3 years have been excellent and this last 2 month have just been a reality check. The fact we are even in the discussions for the players shows how far we have come. But we do need to get a bit better at doing things. But we learn from these mistakes.
I think we are just delaying the inevitable if I’m honest. I think it’s a waste of time and possibly might cost us more with a devalued unmotivated asset. But time will tell.
We cant sell to Liverpool or another PL club out of principle. Isak wont play for NUFC again, that is clear. So he and his agent need to find a solution aboard. That is the way out for them.
Exactly this. He does not dictate to us where he goes. We get the best fee possible for him and we insist on a clause prohibiting him from being sold to another English club.
If we sold him people would say we were weak. You can't let players and other clubs bully you. If true I'm delighted....be strong, draw a line in the ****ing sand with Isak and all the drooling fanbases or let them walk all over you forever. I tell you what I wouldn't want to face adversity with some of you ****ers.. You'll roll over every single time and we'll all get bullied.
Me too and now the media will all cry how it's unfair and its bad ownership... Yeah like **** off you ****s.. Not your concern
Put it this way I learned early on in life that you have to draw a line in the sand with people or you'll get more ****. I'm not pretending I'm a hard ****, but anyone who's stuck up for themselves publicly will tell you the same thing. You cannot be seen being pushed around.
We’ve already made ourselves look weak as piss with the transfer window debacle. Newcastle aren’t going to change the way the world works over one player and all we are going to end up with is yet more egg on our faces. However I do agree that we should make a stand over going to a PL club.
What good does that serve though other than trying to Billy big balls. Don’t get me wrong he deserves it. But it means he doesn’t play. We don’t get the money and can’t reinvest at a time when we need it. I get that you think it’s the right thing to do. But Liverpool just shrug their shoulders and walk away with their 25 goal striker already purchased.
It doesn't surprise me that you don't understand GG because you're the type of guy that would let someone eat your bread roll in prison.
