Just to point this out. This is the age of feeding frenzy social media. Van dijk acted up and barely played for Southampton Here we are who many years later with zero issues and he's signed a new deal when he could have left for mega money and he's even captain Every situation is different..every player is different. Another example is modric. Everyone forgets the trouble between him.and spurs to get his move to real. Something has gone on between newcastle and isak. Maybe promises were made, maybe they were not. Maybe things were said last year, maybe they were not. It's pretty clear the relationship is absolutely in the toilet. It's also pretty clear howe in particular has been furiously plunging the turd and flushing repeatedly
Looks like Leoni deal as good as done. Cant say ever heard of him before now but we don’t normally spend big money on teenagers so clear they see him as a long term replacement for current CB’s. Ideal to hopefully spend a couple years learning from vvd.
Was also lallana leaving saints for us. Was some bad feeling with way he went about leaving but he’s seen as a model citizen with every manager he’s ever dealt with.
Because then its not just oh Romano tweeted it becomes isal has said this and all the attention is then down on him. in a way he has howe exactly where he wants him. Howe is the one in press conferences answering for his actions. He has isolated the player and said he has behaved poorly. Nobody is asking isak. They are all asking howe. The second he gives and interview he looks a total cock. There's loads of examples of players giving interviews. Remember Keane on mutv. Absolutely explosion. Or Danny rose mouthing off. Or lukaku saying he wanted to go to inter.
He was pretty much hung out to dry politically as they had a huge issue with lallana and lovern and people were going nuts. 3 months after they had a new team and were better off. It's just really aboit fan attitude. Palace fans seem to be OK with guehi wanting his move but southampton lost their heads about players leaving. Newcastle are only damaging themselves
he just needs to post i didn't say that . why would abyone in this day and age to an interview in this position
Don't forget Harry Kane 'going on strike' and not reporting for preseason in 2021 reportedly pushing for a move. Saying after failing to move that his conscience was clear and it was a situation between him and the club.
Regardless of what happens it will probably cost us 3 points as Newcastle will be amazingly fired up after all this
You are probably right. If we dont mark dan burn aka punch him in the nuts at every set piece then we will lose. Their preseason looks tougher than ours so they may be more ready anyway. They have problems up top for some reason An away draw would be a bad result at any time but on this occasion it'd be really good
Remember Sterling going on itv to say it’s not about the money…? That one went well. The racist right wing press ****ing rinsed him Let them speculate and keep your mouth shut, maybe explain your point of view once you’ve signed
Former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi on Leoni: “I’m convinced he’ll be the linchpin of the Azzurri defence for a long time. Some, regarding a possible transfer to Liverpool, object that this young man has only made 17 Serie A appearances so far. Aren’t those few? No, I reply. Not few, because on those occasions Leoni has demonstrated the qualities needed to go far. “If someone is good, if someone has their head in the right place, it’s immediately obvious. A person can have 200 Serie A games under their belts and still not possess the qualities Leoni displayed in his first season as an adult. Talent knows no age.”
Yup sounds like all done in terms of agreement with club. Just personal bits now. Moved quickly for that one. at least gives us another first team player, would say don’t expect to see him much but for the odd cup game this year unless needs must. Gives us 4 now though with Endo back up
