    The question I have is whether he's simply doing what the others would do in these circumstances.

    I'm not sure he's a bad guy, but I don't like this at all.... I think it's a rare situation when a player of such quality is at a project club and is wanted by a big club.

    Apparently he did say that though. I think Wilson had to go regardless. I think the club tried to get replacements for both (Pedro, Ekitike, Sesko were never just to replace Wilson, whereas Wissa, JSL were).
    They just couldn't get them in.

    When isak told the club he wanted to leave, the club may well have said (verbally) OK you can go IF we can get a replacement in AND we get an acceptable offer for you. Those conditions weren't met.

    Imagine if every time a journo asks Eddie about Isak he just says "WILL OSULA".

    He’d never have bought a drink in Newcastle till his dying day… now he’d be advised not to even visit the town. Desperately sad - and the motherfucker’s own fault. I just wish I thought he had the self awareness to recognise what he’s done, but people who act like he’s acted just tend to lack something essential

    Villa are the latest club to get PSR'd.

    The problem is that it's funny until it's your own club, but it's actually making the league ****e.

    He’s just been extremely badly advised by a greedy agent.

    I bet if things could be different he would do it. But he’s played his cards.

    He things he’s better than us. He thinks he’s elite. I don’t think he is.

    If Liverpool do come in for him he simply has to be the worlds best player or he’s failed.

    Less than 24 hrs to go, but Liverpool ain't far. Those ****s probably want to bid late to make sure we can't spend anything.

    Me also. What happens then. I think I want that scenario. I think PIF let him rot if it does.

    I can't get over the fact we've spent £200 million. Hopefully Leicester buy Barnes back or something.

    Someone would bid in January, but seeing him rot and not play the game he loves for the next 3 months would feel a bit like some justice/punishment (I don’t care which)

    Dunno need to see them all... I bet we never see what we would consider our best 11.

    For example we won't see Thiaw and Botman together.
