I doubt anyone actually wants us to see the team be anything other than successful.

I think Wirtz is gonna be a false nine and glue all the other forwards together, but it won't happen overnight. He looks perfect for that.

This is how I class both Isak and Wirtz.

And we paid £130 mill for a max £90 mill player

That’s what my initial thought was when we signed him. The problem is we don’t have the wide forwards who get beyond a back line. Neither Gakpo nor Salah will leave next summer either.

We do have the full backs to add the width needed to support it though. We need to use those more with their overlaps.

I wouldn't be surprised if Salah left in the summer

He has to. If we could ditch Diaz, we sure as hell need to ditch Salah.

This would be interesting. I think we’d need to transition one of Isak or Tekkers to a wide forward. But i do think he could do that role. What it would mean though is we get the ball to the byline and pulled back along the ground. Feels like we are too often crossing for headers and that is much easier to defend (unless you’re Ibu)

I would be. He should be off in January.

Maybe. But why buy Isak then?
