It is whole article based on a false premise. Chelsea got nowhere near £43m from Saudi for the player.
Excellent column from @ianherbs

Isak is not a good example of how players may use the Diarra ruling.
⚖️ EXPLAINED: How the Diarra case could end Chelsea's and other team's "Bomb Squads". The Diarra v FIFA ruling could significantly impact clubs unilaterally sending players to "Bomb Squads" (isolating players from first-team training to force an exit). Whilst the case doesn't.

❌There’s little realistic risk that Isak walks out of Newcastle pursuing an Art 17/Diarra free transfer. Nor will that remote possibility give Liverpool any meaningful leverage. If nothing else, no club wants to encourage a collapse of the status quo transfer system. Red herring.
Segment on TalkSport from earlier today on the Diarra case…

Newcastle fans trying to argue with me that the club are not being made to look weak yet the manager only knows where Isak is via the media. Newcastle need to get a grip of this contracted EMPLOYEE.
🇪🇸 Eddie Howe on Alexander Isak’s whereabouts & if he has permission to be in Spain…. 🗣️ "I know where he is, really, through the media. From that perspective, it’s difficult for me to go into any kind of detail. The situation is far from ideal & is quite complex" #nufc

Big 4 hasn't changed much in 40 years though 😉.
Start of the 25/26 English football season this weekend. Forty years ago there were only three clubs in the country who averaged more than 30,000 attendances, ten more than 20,000 and 28 more than 10,000.

Man up?. 1. Inform player he will not be sold this Summer under any realistic circumstances (obviously they wouldn’t reject some silly offer like £160m).2. PIF make no purchases from LFC (eg Al Hilal Nunez). Not that difficult.
Nothing particularly unusual about Liverpool refusing to bid against themselves. They know they hold all the cards unless NUFC man up. There’s one bidder.

Yes because cash flow is famously a concern for Saudi Arabia.
🚨 EXCL: Liverpool now willing to pay Newcastle up to £80M up front with £50M next year + £10 add ons and preparing new bid. Total £140M, but more appealing structure. Second bid could be with Newcastle as early as today.

So he is no longer "not for sale"?.
Newcastle United are adamant they will not be bullied into selling Alexander Isak without finding a suitable replacement. @Matt_Law_DT reports ⬇️. #NUFC #LFC.

🤔.
Someone will need to explain why Lyon, a club with apparently serious financial issues: .i) exercised the Mangala option for a total of €35m before 30 June only to then loan him to Everton for free.ii) purchased Niakhate for €30m before 30 June. Defies logic.

That would be an option that Spurs will obviously not take for a 31 year old Palhinha.

Definitely. Chelsea don't have any young, inconsistent wingers. Just what they need.
I actually think Garnacho - at the right price - would be a very good signing for Chelsea.

🚨Osimhen will be paid €16m NET pa. plus €5m image rights. The salary element alone would have cost a UK club almost £500k plus NI (15%) a week. The image rights payment is another £4.3m pa. (£82k pw).

Interesting timing on this. Discussed these sort of reassurances as a 115 read-through on Talksport earlier.
🗣️Erling Haaland talking about the Premier League hearing: "I spoke with the (City) bosses, and in the end, I believe them. I think the club knows what they’re doing. They will sort it out.".
