"Theres zero chance Isak stays. If he is a Newcastle player on September 1st his value drops significantly. If hes a Newcastle player on September 1st Newcastle dont stand to benefit in any way.

"Isak refused to train due to a very difficult to diagnose thigh strain. Youd see lots more of those thigh strains if you tried to keep him. We experienced exactly the same with Coutinho before his move to Barcelona. Player power usually wins in these situations and its ultimately what will drive Isak to Liverpool before the end of the window" @ThePLDad on X 2025-07-28 21:08:20 UTC XXX followers, XX engagements

"I agree it isnt doable. Every single one of those players has a better goalscoring record than Alexander Isak had at Real Sociedad when you signed him. Whoever your new CF is whether its Sesko or someone else the remaining funds from the Isak deal will perhaps be used to strengthen other areas of the pitch" @ThePLDad on X 2025-07-28 21:05:30 UTC XXX followers, XXX engagements

"All reasonable passive aggression aside I think Everton need to demand more from players like Ndiaye if they aspire to more than another relegation battle this season. Zero assists. X goals (5 of them against teams no longer in the Premier League).

"Its just waiting on them sorting out Sesko. Thats it. Once thats agreed this one will move forward. Newcastle cant accept a mega offer for their best player with no replacement queued up.

"Everton are an attractive club. A very attractive club. But only to a certain profile of player presently. As the clubs financial standing improves and Premier League safety isnt something that is in question the types of players interested in joining will improve. It may well be that the club are aiming for players beyond their reach (presently). The pursuit of Fofana suggests that may be the case. That isnt a bad thing youd rather Everton be aiming high than aiming low but it probably does mean they spend a fair bit of time on wasted pursuits" @ThePLDad on X 2025-07-28 08:06:10 UTC XXX followers, XXX engagements

"Of course and nor should you be able to spend unabated at will whatever you wish to challenge for the Premier League title overnight. In what world is that good for the Premier League or the English Football pyramid (or even Football as a whole) Thats happened twice before with Chelsea & Man City (and to a degree Blackburn) and lessons had to be learned.

"You also scored the same number of goals as 17th placed Tottenham less than Brentford & Brighton last season. Balancing the two was a real problem for Chelsea last year and a big part of that was an inability to rely on your back four and GK. None of that has changed.
