He’s a better player than he’s been stereotyped as. Got into a lot of excellent positions. Think he’s less good than what they hoped for but still very good. I’d actually be more concerned about his disciplinary record if I were them.

Yep,me too. He's got plenty of skill,but I'd worry about his attitude and....... being down the Quayside. He could be fair game down there and a likely nuisance!<laugh>
 
Only flight today is leaving Newcastle to Karlsruhe / baden-baden airport then flying to Amsterdam pretty much straight after

Curious why the mags stopped Isak from attending the family event yesterday, I can understand training away from the group, but to tell him and his family they aren't welcome at a social event isnt going to help the situation imo.




What's next fines for players who speak to him or contact him?

Immature from Howe that. His family should not be treated that way.

Isak is obviously a k**b, but if it was me, and you did that to my family, it's done. You can't put that right now. Whatever happens, and he might still stay, among a shower of warm words, Isak will not forget that slight.

Do the skunks not also have the same situation over Liverpool?

You make a good point, but I don't think so

Stating observational facts for Isak > Liverpool:
- Isak very clearly wants away; if he doesn't go this window, it's likely (or at least uncertain) that he won't sign a new contract and his value starts to decline
- Liverpool don't NEED a striker
- Newcastle NEED to sell him to buy another replacement
- Newcastle don't have a second strong option that can stand in, meaning they can't hardball and chuck Isak with the kids meaning they really need to sell him in order to buy a replacement

Jackson > Newcastle facts:
- Chelsea are absolutely packed in front positions, Jackson doesn't need to be sold
- Chelsea don't need to replace him, if he is sold
- Chelsea know Newcastle have been declined by their main striker targets, and know that want away Isak MUST be replaced
- Chelsea know that Newcastle will likely get 120m+ for Isak, and don't own a first choice striker

If Newcastle had bought Sesko or Wissa and already sold Isak, they'd have WAY more leverage in a negotation for Jackson than they currently do; as they have time and a main choice already in place - neither of which they actually have.

Every time I watch him he is good at positional awareness but he is awful at finishing.

Complete downgrade

I agree with all of that but the bit in bold is not necessarily true. Romano has listed a load of players they are trying to shift out including Jackson so they can bring in Xavi Simons. Not a direct replacement at all but they do need the financial wiggle room to get that deal done I think.

Potentially, I'm under the impression (and I may be wrong here) that will the sales they've done so far that they should have enough PSR headroom to purchase him.
