Unfortunately, United look legit good. Did so last week against Arse as well.

Their banter era looks to be over, sadly. Amorim finally getting his ideas through to them. With 1 game per week whilst others are playing loads of games later in the season will be huge for them.

Alexander Isak given drastic new plan to force Newcastle into Liverpool transfer

Alexander Isak is pushing for a move to Liverpool this summer and has accused Newcastle of breaking promises

Alexander Isak has been told to "ruin" Newcastle training sessions to try and force through a move to Liverpool. Isak is desperate to leave Newcastle this summer, with the Magpies rejecting a £110million bid from Liverpool.

The situation recently escalated after Isak released a statement claiming the club had broken promises, while Newcastle hit back by insisting that "no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave".

Newcastle also stated that "the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired" and that they "do not foresee those conditions being met". Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney has now weighed in on the situation, suggesting Isak should try and "ruin" training.

Deeney used that tactic to force his move from Walsall to Watford back and recalled in a column for the Sun : "How they should have played it is how I played it with my agent when I was pushing to move from Walsall to Watford back in the summer of 2010.

"In private, my agent said to me, 'you're going to have to kick up a fuss here. You're going back to training and you'll do all of the running but as soon as a ball is involved, you're going to have to ruin sessions, you're going to have to kick balls away. But importantly, you can't let anyone on the outside know what's going on'.

"It was really hard, you would go home feeling guilty, being a d*** for no reason, burning bridges for people you quite like. But you've just go to remember who you're doing it for: yourself. That's how Isak will be feeling.

"This is a career-changing, career-defining move. You're going from Newcastle to one of the biggest clubs in world football in Liverpool, where you are probably going to win major titles."

It remains to be seen whether Isak will get his move or not, but Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has suggested that the saga is set to "come to an end pretty quickly". Speaking ahead of Newcastle's clash with Liverpool on Monday, Howe said: "He won't be part of the squad this weekend.

That was insane. Literally felt like multiple changes of possession happened and they then went back and gave it. For something that happens on every corner. Crazy shit.

Now scored as well, if only morons like Winstanley targeted him instead of losers like Disasi and Badiashile.

he only joined Man U last summer, when he was 18yo

we had already purchased shit Disasi (2 years ago) and Badi (2 and a half years ago)

Yoro was not yet 18yo then, so we could not buy him then due to then (and still) standing EPL rules on under 18yo international transfers

Yeah but he was never on their radar even last year, they talk and brief to the journalists how we waiting for good opportunities in the market, and when we had an opportunity last year to get him with Madrid refusing to pay the money, Winstanley was to busy scratching his head searching for kids in South America smh

he was on my radar for over two years

[Pizy 18,944]

Fulham don’t have a whole lot of attacking quality but they’re extremely well coached. Expect a very tough game against them next weekend.

Acheampong and Hato are same level talent. People wanted to splash 60m for 18yo last summer and give him starting place but now we see comments about not trusting our talented CBs and that we need to buy new defender. Doesn't make any sense.
