In other news it’s been reported by Ornstein that Isak has no intention of ever playing for Newcastle again.
Barcodes will surely have to just swallow this and let him go.

If we lose Eze to the Spuds and don't get Rodrygo (which we won't as we don't seem to learn our lessons when it comes to players emanating from La Liga), then as usual that will be another indictment on the ability of those handle who transfer business, but that hardly surprises me.

BTW I'm pretty worried about the news that the Chavs are in for Donarumma.
I mean I was just learning to live with it when it looked like he was going to United, but if he ends up at Chelsea, who people seem to have not noticed have recently become really good at keeping clean sheets ....then I am pretty worried about their ability this coming season, especially as they are also in the CL.
Well no it wouldn’t because if you start with a belief and then latch onto anything that you think might confirm that belief, you will be many things but not surprised.Originally Posted by 21_GOONER_SALUTE
Me? I don’t actually know how good those who conduct our transfer business are. Though I find it interesting that we have a new director of football and things are not remarkably different to how they were under Edu, and maybe I’m being guilty of confirmation bias but maybe it’s difficult to do everything that we need to do when we don’t have infinite resources and maybe this comes down to where we don’t rotate enough but we find it difficult to get money for the players we do sell.
But then even City can only get rid of Grealish on loan.
Plus Eze was linked with Spurs before he was linked with us
By all accounts they will make him play in the reserves if they have to.In other news it’s been reported by Ornstein that Isak has no intention of ever playing for Newcastle again.

They are already bitter that they lost out on Sesko for example, they won't be steam rolled when it comes to Isak.
It will be an interesting battle of wits, that's for sure
I personally think what Liverpool offered Newcastle for Isak was more than reasonableBy all accounts they will make him play in the reserves if they have to.

I also think Isak’s behaviour is reprehensible, yes I get that players only have a short career and you’ve got to grab opportunities but maybe he ought to have thought about that before a) signing a six year contract with Newcastle and b) waiting until so late in the day to throw Teddy out of the pram.
Newcastle are playing for time and they are winning that battle
Yeah I'm not a massive fan of how this is playing out tbh.
Nope and nor would I be if I supported Liverpool
If this saga continues I’d consider moving on to someone else like Guirassy.
I get that but what they offered is not what Newcastle want.
I wouldn't pay more than £80m for him personally, but I know I'm probably in the minority.
Isak still has 3 years left so it's not like Barcodes have to accept either.
I do agree, I’m simply saying that Liverpool offered a reasonable amount for him (in that they haven’t been disrespectful), Newcastle’s rejection of that offer is of course in keeping with their stated aim of not wanting to sell the player and despite Isak’s tantrum throwing they are not obliged to accept a lower offer than 150million
80 million is probably about right, but was always going to be sold (if at all) well above market value
