I hope they don’t make another one tbh.
He’s a great player but this is just childish.

Not sure Slot will like this attitude.

I think it’s going just how Liverpool hoped it would.

Slot will take all emotions out of it and just look at him as a world class striker

We haven’t walked away from any deal because the manager wants him

Maybe but I wonder what that sort of attitude has on the dressing room?

But money talks and they have a £120 million asset not wanting to play.
Plus I don’t think Newcastle supporters will want him playing now.

It depends on how the player sells it to any new teammates

And money will always talk in the sport

The owners can afford to let the player rot but the club can’t when it comes to PSR etc

Out of interest as a Liverpool supporter how does Isak behaviour sit with your fans. If it was me I wouldn’t want a player like that signing for my club, if they’re willing to act like that to the club that’s already afforded them an break into the EPL, paid them well for it and had fans adore them it wouldn’t sit right with me knowing that’s their attitude and could happen again when a bigger big say RM or Barca come in down the line.

Didn't Van Dyke do the same at Southampton in order to push his move through? That didn't bother Liverpool or their fans so no reason that this will.

Interesting link. Good on Sunderland for having a good go!

Seem to remember Liverpool having to apologise for illegally tapping him up.
It probably goes on all the time.
They’ve probably done the same with Isak.

Didn’t Southampton make him wait until the January to prove a point and still got his value.

But you’re right it probably won’t bother them and that’s the sad state of affairs as if it was one of their players he’d be scum of the earth. But that’s just tarnishing all fans which isn’t necessarily fair.

was laters in the window after the mess of the move to Liverpool - he trained alone but then went back to playing .

No one is happy when players down tools

Was thinking Liverpool but both really depending what happens.

Don’t think he refused to play though did he?

More likley the agent than the club.

Think when it comes to “tapping” up plays there aren’t many clubs who can sit above on a parapet

Chelsea for one have been involved in some very high profile cases - Cole , Kakuta - found guilty twice for illegal approaches

Even when it comes to getting managers there have been “illegal approaches”

And most sorted by agents in the back ground

Yes we all know they do it but dosnt stop some fans who think it’s not their team doing it !

If rumours are to be believed Garnacho has turned down Bayern in order to get his move to Chelsea. He really needs to look carefully at who is advising him, turning down a club where he's likely to be a starter to join a club that he's going to see far less minutes given their other wingers.

I don't believe that Chelsea really want him to play him, they're viewing it as a business decision and want him for £25/30m purely to try and flip for a profit in a couple of years.

Given that he's on low wages (50k per week) and has 3 years left on his contract I hope United play hardball on this, don't let him go to Chelsea cheap and watch them make a potentially massive profit on him.

Will he be a starter at Bayern ?

They have Diaz and Olise as their main wide players with Gnabry as well

No chance he starts ahead of Diaz or Olise unless Olise switches to more of 10 role.
But does seem a better Move to Bayern as there would be plenty of game time in Europe and against lower German teams.

Think they’re starting to move on from Gnabry though so potentially replaces him in a few months.
