    Just seen EH answering questions about it on SktySports News, he looked absolutely devastated with the situation.
    Which was nice.

    Yep. An unholy mess or an unholy outfit!

    He is a belter of a player, but clubs watch how they spend now. Even the big clubs now do not normally spend whopping amounts on players over say 25. Isak will be 26 in September. This is the summer to sell big, but I honestly think that if they have let this out then they are going to try and keep this deeply unhappy bunny at the club.

    Sounds to me like Newcastle have asked for him to put this out for a reason.

    It puts Isak on the spot and pushes Liverpool into action ...

    ... if the player refuses Newcastle can turn round and say they had no choice.,

    At the moment is looks 100% that Newcastle are being played and they won't like that.

    Either way it's absolutely hilarious how badly everything is going for them <laugh>

    Well I read the Telegraph. And I can tell you that he has put stuff in there that has been bang on. But only about them, no one else.

    We'll see. A happy, horrible mess though!

    It must be obvious to everyone that there's no leadership and how poorly they are being run. They're a shambles and long may it continue!

    Fair play to them for not giving into player power. Doubt we’ll see much of Isak this season though if he feels he’s been cheated out of a verbal promise.

    Yep. The right thing to do is put him in the stiffs, or get him to offer a public mea culpa.

    There aren't any good outcomes here in the short term for the Saudis, but they can stick it to Isak in their long term interests.

    Litmus test for the Saudis.

    let’s be honest if Luke Edward’s is saying he’s staying that means He’s going as he gets nothing right and is hated by most of their fanbase

    Accepting a verbal promise from a bunch of Saudis is likely to end with a bonesaw ...

    ... but they're happy to chase the money and take the risks.

    Isak's behaviour is f*ckin disgraceful....

    And if he refuses to play, and chooses to avoid breaking any contract agreements, he could easily feign injuries, or even use mental health issues.

    So are you saying that he might not have a thigh injury that stopped him going to Asia with the rest of the squad...? <doh>

    Lets not forget Neil has had this contract offer long before the new signings arrived and has been stalling on it
