It'll be all summer, even assuming he signs a new contract then that'll be phrased as - so Newcastle can get best value for him.
Exactly Jammy. Alex is happy and settle at NUFC. He is working with the club on a new contract. So there is no interest from the player to uproot himself when he's playing for a manager who has turned him into the best striker in the world.

The grass isn't always greener. Ask Cabaye. Biggest regret of his career leaving us... And we were garbage back then. Ask Andy Carrol. A total flop once he left for Merseyside.

However, bigger picture. Sheikh Yasir has told the club there is no price for Isak. Saudi's don't care about money. They have enough money to buy the whole FSG 10x over and do the deal in 72 hrs. Liverpool aren't the big fish here.

Listening to the muppets at TalkSh!te like that clown Cundy, you realise these people are salary men, working for a pay cheque. I would be surprised of Sheikh Yasir even has a salary. He is more likely to have unlimited funds at his disposal.

It's interesting to see how they talked about Abramovich, how they would mock and shut down conversations about Chelsea players leaving 'he doesn't need the money'. Abramovich is a peasant compared to the wealth Sheikh Yasir controls.

The sad thing is that the muppets genuinely think they still live in a world where the red filth, Ar$eholes & Liverpool are the power players.

Reality is that City are the only true power, the verdict v the Prem will prove that when it comes out in due course. We are rising to become the other super power in the Prem.

Yes, he has a contract and we could make him honour it but would we want to? If he really wanted to go, keeping him would do nobody any good.

However, as said, he's happy here and very well paid. I'm certain he'll stay although we'll have to have a cracking season of either challenging or winning something in order to keep him the season after.

Gordon, on the other hand, I wouldn't rule out going. We sounded Liverpool out about buying him and that pissed him off (naturally) so he'd be within his rights to ask to go if they wanted him.
Exactly Zip. The lad's career has gone from being a decent player with potential to being one of the most deadly in world football. That's down to Eddie Howe. Alex isn't a fool he knows that the manager is gonna be in place for many years to come, we are a stable club and his career will only continue to grow and develop in alignment.

As per Jammy's quote - "I'm already at a big club". . . Which I guess is not the answer the media man wanted

No matter how much the MSM muppets talk us down. No matter how many dross articles are written/copied and pasted about the subject, the reality is very different from the fictional picture they portray.
