Because as Plods said, you’re advocating we just give in to what Isak is wanting and then supporting your point by saying Arsenal could do exactly the same with for example Tonali. Therefore, what message are we sending by giving in to Isak?

We don’t need to just move on. We need to make sure we don’t allow other clubs or agents or players to screw us over. Long term message not short term.

He’s not with the squad and if he continues to mess us around then we can look to recoup about £12M Pa from him in fines. His price won’t go down as he is a recognised goal scorer and not playing a short while isn’t going to affect his value. Reintegration is ultimately down to Isak but as soon as he plays and scores a lot of fans will forgive him. Throw in an apology and more will. I’m not saying keep him forever. I’m saying he goes when we want him to at a price we want and to a club that haven’t tried to shaft us.

Plus, and this seems to have been totally missed by a lot of people, nobody actually has a current bid in for Isak. So who exactly are we supposed to be selling him too? And before you suggest we approach the Victims that is a negotiating faux pa and guaranteed to reduce the price thereby vindicating what Isak, his Agent and the Victims have been doing. So, that’s a no-no.

Keep him for a season and sell him when we have better chance to adequately replace him.

I reckon there is a bid on the table it’s just waiting for us to buy a striker. Once that happens the deal gets done.

There is no way back for Isak imho but that’s just my opinion. Ofc your entitled to yours also.

I’m not focused on the player. I’m focused on the club. This impasse is just stopping us from
Progressing.

We get a striker in we believe or are led to believe he will be sold. But what if he isn’t. He’s not going to play for us again so we have a waste of an asset sat at home.

pointless.

It's not pointless for the reasons being explained to you.

Harsh to judge Elanga so early, plenty of promise. Barnes on the other hand. Just don’t get it. Fine from the bench at a push but the sooner someone starts up front and gets Gordon back where he should be the better. Really want Hall back as well.

Hall will be frozen out again for ages I suspect.

Well, yeah, because he was crap at Leicester. He's not done a lot to change opinion. He doesn't really work in this formation either, there's just not enough ability in him.

The Americans and the goal stat generations love Barnes. No matter how many times things break down at his feet they just keep pointing at his shooting.

Leicester fans said he was frustrating and they were right.

In this match it was just more of the exact same. Can every so often cut in and shoot, but most decent defenders worked this out years ago. His passing is dreadful - wrong choices, wrong weight - decision making poor, his runs don't really work, he's just an excruciatingly average player.

50 million btw... That's a very bad buy then.

Our signings are OK but worrying so far this summer... It could go either way..

Strange that's not what you were saying the other day.
Gangster gets gip for flopping but this season you're above him by miles in the flip flop League.

About Barnes?


The second part says it could go either way... Strikers not signed so talking as we stand.
