So transformative he overrides every other option?

Or simply too expensive and too big a risk?

Can we get a whole article about how Saka is the missing piece in the NUFC squad? Seemingly makes no difference if the club and player say he’s staying where he is 🤷‍♂️

geordielad93.bsky.social•57 days ago

Literally every day these tossers in the media selling our best players off. How about you lads go fuck yourselfs and go wank off the big six some more

bl000.bsky.social•57 days ago

Big risk 😂😂😂 fuck off hes revolutionise your club shame hes not going there. He'll go to Barcelona when lewa retires

codeblackdirective.bsky.social•57 days ago

Barca will have to sort out of their own finances in order for that to happen. If they can, I can totally see that, yes

bl000.bsky.social•57 days ago

Yeah I think theyll sort themselves out eventually. Can't see him going anywhere else tbh.

howmanheyman.bsky.social•57 days ago

This is the most imagination I've seen going on since John Lennon. I think I'll debate the merits of taking Saliba or Saka and whether the outlay would pay off for NUFC?

razorsgc.bsky.social•57 days ago

Newsflash for Arsenal: it's not a choice you're going to have any chance to make.

sabreferret.bsky.social•57 days ago

Give over; they can't afford him so stop day dreaming about it and move on to inventing stories about someone more realistic.

martysphotos91.bsky.social•57 days ago

Arsenal are not getting Isak. Just let it go and look elsewhere.

lynnotago.bsky.social•57 days ago

So bored of this Isak shit, can we just just like, move on ...

northlondonforever.bsky.social•57 days ago

camp All IN ftw

smithmichaelw.bsky.social•57 days ago

More chance of Newcastle signing Saka - put your letters to Santa away

toonpack.bsky.social•57 days ago

xraystan.bsky.social•57 days ago

Arsenal had their chance and passed on him.
NUFC didn’t.

aspy1964.bsky.social•57 days ago

If Newcastle finish in the top five he won’t be going anywhere.

nufcsoprano.bsky.social•57 days ago

The entitlement knows has no limits.

andrew-does-stuff.bsky.social•57 days ago

They're only talking about nice to haves mate, not nailed on deals.

martinlrix.bsky.social•57 days ago

The sooner PL football starts again the better. Can get away from these articles.

emptymindz.bsky.social•57 days ago

I’m a Liverpool supporter, & even I find it disrespectful to Newcastle that these type of articles are constantly written about Isak. Fwiw, I think Isak stays at Newcastle.

koplee74.bsky.social•57 days ago

I agree re: The disrespect mate. But I wouldn’t be shocked if Guimares or him are sold to fill the squad out a bit.

emptymindz.bsky.social•57 days ago

They’ve actually got wriggle room for PSR this summer. From what I gather, the 3 year cycle is clear, & they can go again.

koplee74.bsky.social•57 days ago

True but also I think CL qualification could be a factor with spending power and also player ambitions.

emptymindz.bsky.social•57 days ago

I hate the London media on things like this, though. They’ve got staggering arrogance. I remember them on Gerrard & Torres, & how they wanted us to keep Hodgson.

koplee74.bsky.social•57 days ago

Ironically they never do the same shite with London clubs. It’s on their doorstep of course.

emptymindz.bsky.social•57 days ago

Possibly something on the CL qualification thing, but I think too much is made of that in the context of who owns Newcastle. If PIF don’t want to sell, they won’t sell. Isak is their crown jewel, & Bruno is their heart. I think the players would take Europa League & pay rises to stay.

koplee74.bsky.social•57 days ago

Strange situation with their owners imo.
They promised a shiny new training ground etc and haven’t delivered on it.
But yeah they have the wealth if they can use it tbf

geordieprancer.bsky.social•57 days ago

Boring!
He isn't going to Arsenal man, every club in the world wants him, Arsenal don't dine at the top table and he is fucking caviar!
3 years on current contract, unless Madrid or PSG cone in with an offer too good to turn down, he's staying here and I think we'll overtake Arsenal next season 😉

deeceebee72.bsky.social•57 days ago

every day, the Athletic try to flog players from a club none of them support to clubs they do. your 'low rent Fabrizio Romano'- David Ornstein making up transfer rumours or the poshest man in sports journalist - art de tarquin or amy lawrence its just "you northern poors don't deserve good players"

thekidscallmehoju.bsky.social•57 days ago

The media enters its third month of daily articles speculating which football team should Isak play for, and my wife loudly complains only twenty minutes into my speech, 'why I should be allowed to date Taylor Swift'.
#nufc

jonboymather.bsky.social•57 days ago

Boring isn’t it? Can’t wait for him to sign a new contract with new club record for wages for NUFC don’t know what journalists will make up about then. Hope gets a hat trick against Arsenal next season too.

knowthisofme.bsky.social•57 days ago

Wherever he plays next season, it won’t be at Newcastle

smca1974.bsky.social•57 days ago

Arsenal fan writing what he hopes as though it’s fact. Love social media for this. Try writing ‘I think’, or ‘in my opinion’ and you will look less like a tool

jonboymather.bsky.social•57 days ago

Bookmarking this! Bet it is pal.

codeblackdirective.bsky.social•57 days ago

My opinion, as an LFC, is that he stays at NUFC.

stebfield.bsky.social•57 days ago

As a newcastle fan I think if he leaves he goes to psg who need a cf and a star and they would blow any prem league team away financially
