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


Yep. Betting odds of his club come the end of the window have also flip-flopped. Was 80% Liverpool a few days back, now odds-on to remain at Newcastle at about 65% probability. Great news. Serves him right.
 
Lol when does the not selling tram contact the buying team to let them know they will go lower than offered.
When the buying team think either..

1. They are something special
2. The selling team are in an extremely difficult position

Neither of which really apply.

If the reports are true then Isak looks a muppet.
 
£110m is a bad joke considering how valuable he is to Newcastle. Surprised they thought that would get it done.
 
Cue a few more weeks of Isak's camp telling the press how unsettled he is and journalists talking about how risky it is to hold onto a player who doesn't want to be there, how they're denying him his dream move etc.

Still think there's a decent chance this gets done before the deadline, especially if they can bring in good money for Nuñez et al.
 
Very surprising that the media haven't accused Liverpool of tapping up and unsettling a player. More, it is about the excellent financial management of the club that will allow them to break the BTR twice in a single window. Surprising. Not.
 
£120m or £200m it doesnt really matter. What matters is Newcastle cannot replace him regardless of how much they get.

Theres a dirth of strikers out there and all the best ones available this summer have already moved, they'll be substantially weaker without him and looking at the window they've had so far. Top 5 doesnt seem realistic without him. Missing out on that alone for 1 year covers half the fee bid.

Then add to that the message it sends when you sell your best player. Thats not a club with ambition, thats not a club wanting to be CL regulars competing for trophies. Newcastle have to hold on to him regardless of what he does. When the window closes he'll shut his mouth and get on with it in a world cup year, Newcastle just have to ride out the next month.

I'd be staggered if they allow him to leave, the only thing I can see in favour of him leaving is Newcastle dont current have a DoF, Howe himself is handling transfers from what I read, he might not be as ruthless in insisting they dont sell.
Sesko plus Wissa would more than replace him.

You’re carrying on like he’s prime Messi mate.

I read that as the buying team thinking they themselves are special.

Nearly spat my coffee out when she said it didn't apply :)
