    Oh come on Roly, be a sport - just pretend. Just for us.

    Look, you can even have a practice go now and we can give you feedback on how to appear even more enthusiastic, ready for the actual announcement.

    <cheers>

    Just vague enough to say nothing.

    ‘Promises made’ and ‘promises broken’. Now everyone is guessing what those ‘promises’ were. And his statement hasn’t clarified the position but has instead clouded it further.

    Either say it or don’t but don’t insinuate something.

    That seems like almost the final nail there, he does not want to be at Newcastle and is pissed off it seems.

    So it looks like it is as Hope said, Isak said he wanted out, club have supported it, then reneged.

    I think this is basically it but I think it included the CL. We don't qualify and he can go.

    It makes more sense why we actively went after Pedro, Ekitike & Sesko given our finances.

    NOT in addition to Isak.

    I think where it all fell apart was Liverpool taking Ekitike, having (apparently) promised Isak he was their man.

    Yeah a likely clause. Our success has scuppered his dream.

    Got to be this - Ekitike was going to replace him. So Liverpool have inexplicably ****ed both Isak and Newcastle over so badly, I'd never deal with them again.

    No it doesn’t.

    He’s said literally nothing.

    Could there be a scenario where Newcastle swap Isak for Ekitike?!

    Hope has his sources, and they are the closest thing to this statement of any I've seen.

    So, guesswork based on a vague (deliberately?) statement.
