Alexander Isak | Cried his way to a £130m move

[Stoned Rose]

This Isak thing has properly broken them.

It’s pretty much always been like that, the daft ****.

 

[stan bowles]

Isak should have agreed a one year extension with NUFC with an agreement to put him on 200k a week and a 130 million release clause - basically giving him a big rise and guaranteeing him to go to Liverpool next summer.

I think Dan Burn is going to send Ekitike into orbit on Monday.

I think Dan Burn is going to send Ekitike into orbit on Monday.

If Ekitike's only crime is to play for a club the operates in a scummy manner and has scummy fans and for all we know he could be a fine young gentleman I would think that Dan Burn sending him into orbit on Monday seems appropriate.

I think Dan Burn is going to send Ekitike into orbit on Monday.

The first half hefty challenge on a Dipper will be a yellow from Hooper, which will be the opposite of how he officiated the Rags v Arsenal and let the Rags off cards inc Slashed which was a nailed on yellow.

I don't know who that person is, but that is genuinely one of the dumbest, out of touch things I've ever seen someone say on the internet. And that takes some doing.

Depends what you call a win.

For me that could be:
- Getting the £150m that they want for him.
- Ruining a year of his career not playing him and probably still getting £100m next summer. If they really don't give a fuck about the money, they could be petty and just ruin his career.
- Selling to a club other than Liverpool for £110m+, player doesn't get the club he wants but still gets out, win-win I guess, but Newcastle probably get the last laugh with that one.

At the end of the day the worst case scenario's are worse for Isak than Newcastle. Doing all this with 3 years left is mental.

The summer Harry Kane wanted to join us, he still showed up to training every week and pre-season because ultimately the cards were with the club.

Yeah I like all of that

 

[simon23]

Liverpool did it with Countinho and Suarez.

United did it with Ronaldo and Heinze or however the fuck you spell it.

Spurs did it with Kane.

Plenty of players say they’ll never play for a club again, until the transfer window closes.

yeah loads of examples but the geordies are a bit of a fanatical group - in a roundabout nice way...not like th cult that is scousers

 

[bluedanza]

Bid of £125m going in next.

Lucky for them, this amount is just the interest earnt on the Coutinho money so they’ve still got that to spend if needed.

To Isak and the Scousers.

 

[No One Understands]

Article 17 won't get him anywhere, Newcastle can keep him training whilst choosing not to play or sell him and be well within their rights.

No club would want to get involved with signing him that way either as it's a dangerous game to play for every club. Liverpool themselves had Suarez kicking off and wanting to leave.

Here's an article by Marcotti on new changes to Article 17. Does not sound all that promising for the barcodes.

I think Dan Burn is going to send Ekitike into orbit on Monday.

The real question is who’s going to take influence from Bernardo on who? My money is on Guimaraes on Wirtz.

Article 17 can't be triggered because it contradicts multiple other articles.

@slbsn has done an article on it I'm sure he wouldnt mind me sharing: https://stefanborson.substack.com/p/the-final-isact

Basically FIFA have no jurisdiction here as its between 2 premier league clubs and Isak is actually the one in breach of his contract not the club. A unilateral termination which is what Marcotti is trying to suggest via Article 17, would cost Isak a lot of money and I would assume the punishment would go beyond just financial implications.

It's also not a rabbit hole players, agents or clubs want to go down.

 

[city2]

If he goes to the scousers then let’s hope the **** does the same when RM come sniffing 2 years down the line. Absolute disgrace of a player.

 

[Damanino]

that Barcodes-dippers on Monday should be spicy game. they selected one of the worst ref for it.

That article is both a load of bollocks and disrespectful and sneering in tone towards newcastle

Marcotti is another clown who has blagged a career, probably why he is on ESPN.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Too many uses of 'and' in that first sentence. It would read better if you wrote 'to try and pick fault with people's posts'.

Also advise/advice.

MSC does irony a little differently than most, I see!

 

[Akira]

Thought Isak crossed a line with that Instagram post.

I do wonder how much Isak is reportedly doing (not training, declaring he won't play, etc.) is under the instructions of the Liverpool hierarchy. "Do this and they will be forced to sell you."
