Hope your well Eds but question if any of use can?
Are Newcastle potentially just stalling on Isak going? Is it all a plot for him to sign for another season then go next year? I find it mad they haven’t brought one attacking player through the door in near a month soon in terms of a striker.
Are they potentially trying to drag it out and see if Isak eventually has a change of heart? What do you think on the so called reporters coming out to saying they are remaining firm is that all just spouting nonsense for Newcastles reputation for if they sign a striker.
I know as said Ed you have stated they are awaiting to sign players but does it not seem more than that to yourself? Maybe im wrong of course but i think IMO they are trying to keep the price firm at 150m, if that is to be met via adds then so be it they would accept. However i think they are saying this as a type of bait knowing if they bring in replacements they won't ask for that much. Opinions on any of the Eds really?
{Ed001's Note - no. They are just a mess and don't want Isak to play against them when we face them.}

Ed01, prolly a perfect storm for them cos the silver lining behind them being more incompetent than the Keystone Cops re: transfer strategy, is them running down the clock on Isak not signing for us so they don't have to play against him So petty BUT I get it, should the above scenario be true.

Really Ed’s?! Do you expect it to happen still? Surely he can sit that game out!

All this speculation is ridiculous and if they really weren’t going to sell Isak this summer they could release a statement to that effect so their fans could end their torture.
So why haven’t they? Because they know they’ll have to sell him that’s why.
Even Eddie Howe knows it which is why he’s now saying he only wants players who want to play for Newcastle.
If they release a statement saying they are not selling then they take that option off the table and are left with an unhappy player who will be worth less money next summer.
They are selling Isak 100%.

I think the whole playing against them thing probably wouldn't happen anyway, itll take a good few days to get any deal done and then he'd need to come and train, get his fitness level up and get used to our tactics. that won't happen in less than 2 weeks I wouldn't of thought.

You’re extremely patient with this chap Ed.
He’s asked the same question about 20 different ways despite you being consistent with your opinion.
11 Aug 2025 21:33:52
They have said he is not for sale.
That doesn't mean they won't sell him though.

Shaq Attack, you’re 100 percent correct. He’s an energy-sapper.
11 Aug 2025 22:58:35
Cheers Ed,
Can you still see it happening? Feels its getting less and less likely, if they was signing players forwards anyway i would be more confident but they are taking forever at the min.
12 Aug 2025 00:35:22
The way it's going I wouldn't at all be surprised if it's a deadline day deal.

IsakIsaaclsaq and Shaq lighten up abit folks?
Things change in football very quickly. So when journalists are constantly reporting different stuff left right and centre, i ask any of the Eds for their opinions, as i know they aren’t doing it for any personal benefit. I will apologise to any of the Eds in doing so if i have been abit annoying with some of the questions i may have asked over the summer.
However im sure the Eds may agree as annoying as anyone including my self may be. This is a rumours site where everyone comes on for a little chin wag and pick the brains of any of the Eds, are we at the point where we are taking needless pop shots over people asking questions? I probably have been abit giddy over the Isak transfer as who else hasn’t. Im sure im not the only one who is just abit eager to see him put on a red shirt.
Have a great day remember nothing in life is so serious folks.

It’s you who needs to lighten up KK!
You used to have a different username that I can’t remember (something involving Virgil), and did exactly the same thing before.
You really need to exercise some patience and restraint mate. Ed hasn’t changed is response in the month you’ve been asking.

Shaq attack its not about me trying to hear a different stance from ED1 over the Isak saga. It’s more i know how quickly transfers can fall through or can change. So when you have top “Journalists” spouting utter drivel you do have to question is it true or not? That is why i come on here and ask the Eds as stated in the above they aren’t doing it for clicks or engagement.
I also have never had an account where i actively comment like i do this with one mate. My previous one i barely done any commenting or so on. Anyway look no hard feelings mate just felt it was abit of a pop shot, when i think everyone is just a little eager on Isak puting on the red shirt. Us reds don't usually argue between ourselves anyway that is something Ed25s lot do :)
Have a good day all.

2Shoes, which shows you how myopic and petty some of the NUFC people can be if this is indeed the reason why they are dragging this out.
{Ed025's Note - its not petty to want to keep your best players Oli..
12 Aug 2025 10:15:37
That's Oli, who isn't bothered about what other clubs do.
