The bastions of truth and quality Journalism 'Give Me Sport' are reporting that we're now after the Argentinian international Alverez.

At that price it's a no, Argi in little Brazil... absolute none starter.

They are adamant Isak is being sold this window aren't they? Doesn't matter to who.

This is more than a signing. This a power struggle. We stand firm to show we are serious. We aren't owned by Ashley anymore.

Yeah man it's nuts. I've never seen the entire media machine in such a high gear, determined to get a player to leave Newcastle united.

Cabaye had a bit when it as Arsenal and PSG but compared to that, this is insane.

...Pardew on talkshiite earlier comparing the situation to the Carroll one he faced and that 150m is impossible to refuse.

Yeah Alan, that was Ashley, this is PIF.

Not the same.

[Sclox]

One wise thing Pardew did say was that if Isak has another great season his value wont drop significantly next summer with 2 years on his contract left...and I agree.

Even if LiVARpook did offer 150 million, we shouldn't take it. Would be a massive backwards step and we wouldn't be able to replace him with anyone nearly as good And thayt's before you consider the message it would send to the players.

All that being said, I don't think we will...I'm just concerned that this is going to get into Isak's head.

I'm pretty sure it already has but he is a class act. He will hold firm.

But this window is pivotal more than any other.

I have faith though. We will get the 3-4 signings we need. No doubt. Still time and EH is all over it.

I agree. It's just not a good look and is unsettling.

Isak was upset by Mitchell. He didn't want to give Alex an improved contract despite he was being promised an improved deal by Amanda.

So, Alex's seems to be a man of his word. It strikes me as the sort.

The word was that the new contract conversation was slated for now, after the Celtic match.

Let's see what happens.

I have always defended the PIF position having worked in the region and under the culture of business somewhat.

However, they really need to get in the game and help the recruitment team get the deals over the line required.

First things first, Alex's new contract.
