If Isak keeps playing hardball there is. NUFC need to hold firm.

We don't know what's gone on. It could be as simple as he told Howe he wants out, who begrudgingly accepts but says we need a replacement. We believe 100% we're getting Pedro, we don't, we then go for Sesko, it fails, so with our famously limited scouting there's nobody else we're looking at so Howe now needs to try and say to Isak "look, you're here, we can't replace so you need to stay". Isak, like it or not, feels let down and angry so reacts.

For me, there's a good number of decent strikers out there who could fill the void. Kilicsoy, Boniface, Biereth, Schick, Mateta, Retegui, Woltemade, Vitor Roque to throw a few names out. I don't know why we find it so specifically difficult.

Either replace or keep... There's a win in both I guess.

The perfect position.

This is the reality.

Newcastle have been beaten up and pulverised, so the club needs to regroup and come back better.

Isak outgrew the club and is cold

We just got it all bizarrely and stupidly wrong, from the players we went for and who we tried to compete with to believing we were big enough for a player of Isak's arrogance. The leadership (or lack of) this Summer has been as bad as I've ever seen, purely because of the stupidity and/or ignorance of where we are in the lifecycle.

We don't, but there is some bigger at play with this one.

Looks like we should have let pool have him and took Ekitike.

Unfortunately here we are... The acceptance of fate stage.

Oh well.

I've been saying it for years, but it's a bit like politics.. Everyone pointing fingers and arguing over the wrong things.

Everything stems from psr down... Seeded draws and legacy club culture... It's created this vile product.

Bring back football from the late 80's up until the late 90's.
Proper ****ing football before money destroyed it.

Basically TV money came in and a few clubs won the big hands, especially when the foreign TV markets started flowing in. Not long after the clubs that won that market needed to make sure they didn't lose it, so they pretended the proposed rules were about something else and voted in FFP.

Fast forward a few years and you've got this big 6 legacy club culture that millions of fans all over the world only know and argue for.

Globalisation of football was always going to be a bad thing.
Good news is that the facade is starting to slip.

There's plenty NUFC can do and there is literally nothing that Isak can do. He is bound by Premier League rules, his contract of employment, UK and European contract law and UEFA regulations.

He cannot terminate his contract, cannot refuse to train or play and cannot force a move elsewhere.

Newcastle hold all of the cards and can do as they please.

Yeah when you're paying someone £100k+ a week, there won't be the loophole for them to say "wah wah I don't like it here I'm not gonna play".
