I repeat, for the rest of time the scum can never bleat on that they are martyrs for some traditional footballing way of life. You buy your titles, just like every other team does. Leicester City are the only team in the PL era to have ever won the competition organically.

Keeping my fingers crossed, I think he'll be preferred over Woltemade in the first instance, just because he already knows the league.

If there's time and space for a Midfielder then the window is a very good one, albeit I still maintain we cowered for the rat and the scum, which is disheartening. Squad is stronger on the whole, which is all you can ask for. But the new lads need to get up to speed sharpish. #NUFC

Oh yeah, of course it is, and if the choice was him or Jackson, this is by far the lesser of two evils. But Β£50m is still a big fee. If he replicates his form at Brentford I'll be more than happy, but I don't know if last season was just a fluke.
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social)
Completely agree. You can be pleased we've got him and still criticise his attitude and price. Cannot wait for this to all be over. #NUFC

One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
I wanted him gone too, it's the only positive I can see in this situation. They invested way above the Coutinho money, like suspiciously more. That's why everyone takes the piss saying ' see they're still spending that Coutinho money'. We won't be able to do that, Masters will see to that.

Can't wait for you all to try and convince yourselves that this is the outcome that best suits you and the club after everything that's happened this summer. CANNOT FUCKING WAIT. #NUFC
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
It still damages the club's image, regardless. We could have stood firm and at least dictated the price, but we didn't. We folded. I've no doubt the club will still perform this season because Eddie is a miracle worker, but our owners now look weak.
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah that's true, but they also got Β£142m for him seven years ago. In what world is Isak not at least the same value as that in 2025, accounting for inflation if nothing else?
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
This is the first opportunity the new ownership have had to set their stall out with any current or future players. We look weak as a result. I'm not bothered that he's gone, good riddance, but the manner in which we've gone about it is terrible.
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
It's wild how people don't understand the impact this will have.
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
It is a cut price if we were after Β£150m. The entire squad have just seen what can happen if you have a great season and then spend the entire summer shitting on your teammates and refusing to play, all whilst making public statements against the club. You get a dream move to the PL champions.
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. Playing this whole 'oh we would never behave in such a way, we're so much better than those oil rich clubs' act. They never have been, they are a cartel club plain and simple, no different than Man Utd or Chelsea. Just keep buying success.
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
Liverpool forced him to stay one more season and it was his best one. There's nothing saying we couldn't have done the same and sold the rat for even more next summer. If Coutinho went for Β£142m SEVEN years ago, how is the rat worth Β£125m now? Β£150m was fair, Β£125m is cheap.
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
It's irrelevant as to what they paid if it's anything less than the price we set, record or not. The precedent that sets is something we'll never recover from. We've avoided mercenaries since the takeover, this just opens the door. Sign for us, throw a paddy, and we'll let you leave for a cut price.
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
We've just gone and shown to every player, club and agent in world football, that if you're playing for #NUFC you can down tools, humiliate the club and your team mates with your comments, have 3 years left on your contract, and we'll still sell you for less than your value to a rival. It's pathetic
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social)
Beyond glad the rat has finally gone, but don't kid yourselves that Β£125m is good business, on deadline day no less. I also won't hear another word about how the scum don't buy their league titles. They're no better than City or Chelsea. #NUFC

A better company with greater prospects though. It's merely an example, apologies if it doesn't sit right with you. Regardless, the action of each player is terrible and indicative of their overall attitude. They're as bad as each other.

He has previously, like early on I think he said he never would again. Just think they should keep their mouths shut and keep working to their contract.

But he's still behaving like a child, as is Isak. And both have stated they're never playing for their club ever again no matter what. Training is irrelevant at this point.
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social)
Think the things we should all agree on are: Agents need cut out of the game entirely. Honour your fucking contract. Stop tapping players up. Ban the use of Instagram to make public statements about your contractual situation. Transfer window should end before the season starts. #NUFC

One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
Agree they should have got it in writing, simple contract law. But imagine your company promising you a massive career move, promotion and salary increase, then denying a conversation ever took place and telling your colleagues you're lying. That's what Isak is suggesting. Not too different to Wissa
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
But we don't know what was promised to Isak either, even Howe has suggested those conversations did in fact take place and Isak may have been given some assurances. So in that case, Isak is equally innocent, albeit his subsequent behaviour was abhorrent.
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
Could still happen, he's burned every bridge he had here. Even the players. He's acting like they had no effect on his game at all which is incredibly arrogant. If we don't sell, I don't see him anywhere near the squad without the biggest and most public apology in the history of the game.
One for Sorrow (@thetalkingmagpie.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't get the live in with him at all, but if there's someone to even help pad out the bench right now I think we could explore it. Prefer the up front fee as an option.

Β£140m plus add ons, Β£150m flat out, Β£110m and a solid player exchange of some sort, don't care really, as long as he's gone under our terms. That's all that matters. #NUFC

Dismaying amount of copium on display from a few #NUFC fans re Wissa's moronic behaviour. Both went public with their intentions. Both refused to train. Both did a stupid insta story to tell the world they'd been lied to. Hair splitting is unbecoming, criticise one rat, criticise them both.
