They are where we were when we were led to believe we had a chance of replacing Suarez with Alexis Sanchez and we ended up with Balotelli, Lambert and Origi.
The irony is Newcastle will be more fcked if Isak stays. They are in an absolute state, need a sh*t load of good signings and don't have the wherewithal to pull it off.
We're favourites for the league with or without Isak.
Fck knows what's going on. If all this is to allow Geordies to celebrate how ruddy bloody brave and strong they are before we get him in a few weeks then fair enough. Seems odd if what Jacobs is saying is true though.
Trying to think of any recent examples where we've bid for a player and ended up walking away. Gareth Barry?
Remember The Nest with Dani Alves? Warra c*nt.
If they'd done what Leverkusen did with Wirtz then I'm pretty sure they would have had a few decent signings through the door by now. They dont seem to have any credible post-Isak plan though.
I know this sounds heavily biased but genuinely think the best thing Newcastle could do is sell him to us as quick as possible and crack on sorting their sh*t squad out with the money. Trying to manage his situation whilst flailing around and missing targets is clearly not working. It's not just a couple of strikers they need.
