Winston Biscuit I am sure its been pointed out a lot, but it does make me lol how outraged Newcastle and their fans were over Isak's behaviour, yet they then used the money to sign Wissa, someone who was copying Isak's behaviour to get a move to Newcastle, and they are celebrating his move there.
its another of those things in life (like much of politics) where people don't actually care much at all about it, but they are being told repeatedly by the media that actually they are outraged by it, so they feel they need to join in with the general outrage noise.
This debate bores me. I'm an accountant. If I freelance I might sign a 12 month contract with a company to produce x, y and z. I am not a footballer. Football contracts are different. Whilst substantially they might state that player x gets paid y for z years, they represent a store of value to the club. Does anyone seriously think Erling Haaland wants to be at City when he is 33? Of course not. But when Madrid come calling, he'll have years left on his contract and City will get paid. Like Isak. Years left on his deal, £130m in the bank.
'Isak should honour his contract'. Yawn. If football fans got their way, contracts would be shorter and their favourite players would walk away from clubs for free season after season.
