Let’s not kid ourselves, most players are going to jump at any opportunity that doubles their wages.  We are still a bit of a stepping stone for any worldies that we happen to get our hands on.

He's got 3.5 years left on his deal so he can jump at the opportunity all he wants. If someone doesn't offer silly money then he's going nowhere

Dear Arsenal

£150 million as a starting price, plus Saka coming to us. 
 

Otherwise, don’t hembarrass yourselves. 
 

Love

 

The Saudi Boys.

PS. Can Arteta sign this for my son, big fan.

You’re talking about a very select group of clubs though. Which would probably rule out Arsenal.

Like all top players he will want Champions League football & if Newcastle can't provide it  he will look else where. Contract lengths count for very little when a player wants away.

Troy Deeney’s assessment of Isak in his team of the week for the bbc.

 

I tell you what, Troy. Why not fuck off and stop talking about him as a replacement for others? 

 

Alexander Isak (Newcastle): We may as well just keep him in for the next six weeks. Mr Isak, the best striker on the planet currently. He does everything - scores two goals, creates an assist and then goes and sits down after 70 minutes because it is job done. We can keep talking about how good he is - he's an obvious replacement for others, but while he's at a flying Newcastle team why would he leave? They may end up - don't say it too loud - creating a little title push

[wykikitoon 21748]

It is annoying, but people are still stuck in this mindset that we are a selling club ala Brighton.  Until we break into that 'Top 6' shite (which will probably be Top 8 then) expect this to continue.  He is a Champions League level player so its no surprise they're touting him.

I am 100% certain he phones these in, he seems to have the IQ of Forest Gump but without the endearing charm.

[Gemmill 47714]

He also says "why would he leave?" 

 

That's about as fair an assessment as I've seen from a pundit tbh. "He's fucking amazing, he'd walk into any other team and they'd love to have him, but why would he leave Newcastle."

 

Thank you very much Mr Deeney.

[Gemmill 47714]

Aye, that's the answer. Especially if he looks down the road and sees Haaland on 500k a week. 

 

But the point I was making is Deeney is about the only pundit straying from the "Arsenal should just sign him" line as if its a fait accompli, and instead asking "why would he leave?" 

[Holden McGroin 7047]

He might want to play CL football regularly, and the chance to win more trophies.  

 

Hopefully we do both  this season.

When we signed him RTG were pissing themselves that we’d bought a bang average player who only averaged goal every 3 or 4 games and we’d had our pants pulled down for £65M🤣

 

I’ll never forget his assist at Everton when he ripped the piss out of them for Murphy to score…..he came so close to finishing it himself which would have been up there with the greatest goal’s ever

Then he should stick around and my current run with the match threads may well deliver*

I only recently realised how mirror-breakingly ugly Troy was. He looks like Harvey Price on two cowies.

He definitely got pulled out of his mother by the face from Popeye after a tin of taste the difference spinach.

Agreed. 
 

Should be four cowies.

Ideal scenario is we get another out of him by which time PSR is changed and our overlords can shower him with quality team mates and riches.

if we finish top four this season, i think we sign him up to a lomg-term deal. 

 

these players all know that if they win a trophy they will go down as legends. it will be harder for any player to walk away then.

Not a chance (if I was him) I’d sign a new contract when there’s 500k a week wages elsewhere. Unless we get very close to the going wage rate for a world class striker, which seems unlikely as PSR stands.

i think we break the bank - and the wage structure - to secure him to a long term deal if we finish top four again. another season of champions league will give us more psr headroom and will help us secure new commercial deals - stadum/training ground naming rights the obvious ones. 

 

it won't be £500k per week but it could be half that, which still isn't to be sniffed at. we're building something special. the destination is man city-level dominance. being part of that journey is going to be seductive for a lot of players - they will go down in newcastle folklore. of course, we'll lose some players along the way if real madrid come calling but others will stay for the ride
