If the club are to get full value from the Ektike transfer, then we need to get him to the point where he can start for the first team both at nine and at LW on merit. He'll be starting the next few games in her preferred role - after that, the best thing he can do is put on some effective performances on the left, meaning he can compete with Gakpo and Ngumoha for a starting role when Isak is fit and undroppable. I get the feeling that Isak will be a bit like Alison, world-class, but also prone to missing sections of the season, which is why we need quality in reserve. Also, once the CL starts and we're playing every three days, both players should realistically be playing a game a week. There's no point in overloading Isak. Newcastle had no option, but we can afford to be more careful.
