I didn't watch Newcastle particularly religiously, but he gave the impression of a streaky player who was prone to an injury or two, and that's what we're seeing so far. In a way he reminds me of Sturridge - great talent, but not going to get his hands dirty and really pull through hard (to be clear I thought Sturridge was quality, but he cost a tenth of what Isak did, and largely overperformed). That's not the sort of player who you should be making your record signing.

Even old man Wilson gave isak a run for his money until he just got too old.

will osula being so terrible made isak look better than he is, as well as isak being the target man.

I see LFC fans moaning that with salah and isak on the pitch they are basically defending with 9 men.


Gutted Ekitike didnt come to NUFC, glad isaks gone and I expect most NUFC fans are glad of the money, no doubt we have some spending power next window.

Ekitike looks like the real deal and he doesn't have to hold back to protect his groin.

Woltemade seems good, but not ekitikes level, and maybe not a natural goal scorer from woltemades positioning, but then again isak never really seemed like a natural goal scorer either from his heat map.

I can;even remember what other striker NUFC bought, seems like a massive waste of money... an old man who wanted to play for us and in champions league so bad hes goes afcon and gets injured good one mate...

has he even been spotted int he stadium watching a match yet? seems like a total merc that disappeared as soon as he got the wages lol, dood should be in the club store a few hours every day giving autographs and trying to make it up to the fans.


we were probably going to get one season out of him at best, he was bought in desperation and probably wont even play a game this season as this rate.

he'll go back to afcon and get injured again

Was he not being lauded as the best striker in the world and worth 200 mil before he threw his toys out? Quite the turnaround from the fans although not unexpected considering the fans on here.

Ironic given how many Gunners were creaming over him moving to Arsenal a season ago (or whenever it was).

I know quite a few fans me included that didn’t actually want us to get Isak it didn’t make sense at the time and even more so doesn’t now

Yeah, I mean we were 3 attackers down compared to last season. I can imagine the ******** being spouted if the options off the bench were Chiesa and Rio, its bad enough now with the online ***** and sack Slot calls :cry:

Felt we need more of Salah replacement, Hugo covered up front position, it was more replace Diaz, Salah back up yet we didnt do that.

I'm surprised that Liverpool are still chasing isak. There's echos from the past of a transfer between Newcastle and Liverpool with a high value striker who was also 6ft 4 that didn't quite pan out. Had his share of niggling injuries as well.

As much comedy gold as that would be, the crowd that own Liverpool have learned their lessons of the past - their recruitment policy/data analytics etc have to be among the best around currently. That being said, I hope he turns out it be absolutely pony for them :p

Do i win since i questioned it back in August! :p
 
Was going to say Europe aren't ready for Dyche but Porto are one of the few used to that sort of tactic. Won a penalty and will settle in now!
 
Isak took months to settle at Newcastle. He had persistent niggling injuries and never seemed to get a run in the team until pretty deep into the season. I thought he was too lightweight for the prem. Wasn;t until the season after when he really bedded in and Newcastle started to set up their attacks around him. He hasn't looked properly fit and sharp since before the league cup final and he didn’t have much of a pre season. Players like him don't go bad overnight.

But this doesn't suit the narrative of people that only post troll/banter posts and or spent all summer saying with certainty that Isak wasn't leaving, he'd join Real in 12 months time, it would take well over £150m to sign him etc etc.

Nah most of us is finding it hilarious. Getting trolled since he went on strike to force a move.

Isak for the streets. We have upgraded to wife material.

Oh it was all part of a master plan to have yourself sitting 14th in the League. Fair play then.
 
Also I’m pretty sure Isak hit the ground running in his first season. Wasn’t it Liverpool at Anfield where he scored on his debut and another disallowed? We also had Wilson scoring for fun. Well into double digits. His dodgy groin did have issues tho. I’m pretty sure both had double digits come to think of it.
