Match Day Thread Eintracht Frankfurt v Liverpool

Chaos has been his many times before it's just he changes his user name almost as often Donga

 

Just had a look on the Newcastle board as I've never looked at it before. They are obsessed with Isak. Absolutely obsessed. It's a bit sad really. I suppose when you're a smaller club and not used to losing your best players, it's a bit of an unwelcome novelty when it does happen and you simply can't get past it.

 

Didn’t come on initially at all for a bite as suggested. Genuinely wanted to know how Liverpool fans viewed the comments as in Newcastle there’s no doubts whatsoever as to what Slot was hinting at. Seems you don’t seem too concerned about the image Slot gives of your Club.

As far as Isak is concerned most of our fans now hate him. Not that he left, nor that he went to Liverpool but solely for me and most fans as to how he behaved and acted to ‘force’ the sale.

As far as Liverpool fans are concerned a lot seemed to get all agitated because TAA left on a free never mind forced a sale. Given that scenario some responses to me are more than a bit ironic.

 

you think it's better for a club that a player leaves on a free than leave for a fee of £125m ?

 

I think we're just delighted with his honesty.

 

Isak forced a sale breaching his contract of employment in the process.
TAA saw out his contract of employment and to my knowledge didn't breach the terms thereof.
All players leave. I don't have any problem with that. It's how was the issue with Isak.
TAA did nothing wrong.He signed a contract for a set period and honoured it. Isak signed a contract and then forced a sale after breaching it's terms, specifically the length.
In my eyes that's the big difference between the two cases.

 

To be honest I don’t think anyone would have even knows it was said until you mentioned it to be honest.

We’ve got used to Slot just saying things straight. Have to remember also not his first language, he’s often asked reporters if what he’s saying is right etc so I’d take it with a pinch of salt.

 

The biggest difference is we got over it really quickly, you haven't.

 

welcome to modern football but at least you got £125m for your commodity

 

Isak wanted to leave so why try and force him to stay?
Trent ran his contract down deliberately because there's no way RM were going to pay proper dosh for him and they'd obviously let him know that that was the only way they'd take him - so the club he purports to love got almost nothing for him. Newkie got a King's ransom for Isak, so I really have no idea why you've seen your collective arse over this.
Anyway, none of this is really relevant to your original point about Slot's comments. The answer is football managers are just people, and they say things - sometimes they say things you don't agree with, sometimes they say things that are downright stupid - why let it get to you?
