Imagine you're a Toon fan facing the prospect of exchanging Isak for Jackson.... [shudders]
You’re sorry it’s Jackson
Oooo this transfer is real
Never meant to make the toon cry
They’ve been let down so many times

Why can’t they have both?
Fair question actually, esp.considering Callum Wilson's left.
Gazza is gonna keep him there with a fishing rod and some chicken
They're used to having just 1 striker in the squad for an entire season though, considering Wilson went goalless in 18 league games (2 starts, 16 subs) while the youngster Osula had 1 in 14 (all subs).
And now they ban their only usable striker from the all-important club BBQ. Damn, I need to change my post in the predictions thread and stick Newcastle in there as a relegation candidate.
PIF are clearly going to sign everyone Newcastle might ... thereby ensuring Isak stays at Newcastle.
The firm are NEVER wrong. Sometimes reality takes a small detour away from their truth.

OMG theyre impressive. 2 easy headers, 4 tap ins and 25 bangers!
A lot when there's space in behind to be fair. Which we'll have much less of, but his finishing is so crisp he'll be a great fox in the box too..
Yeah but then if you look at the recent Nunez compilation video of misses, tons of them are of him getting behind the defence and missing, so I imagine Isak would get plenty of those chances too!
Here's his goals from the last season. Bunch of more scrappy goals and sweet penalties.

One thing that stood out to me, is that he's reads the defensive line and times his runs really well. He looked offside in some of those goals at first glance, but replays would show that his timing of his runs was impeccable.
So I went searching for his offside stats. I'm not sure how reliable this data is, but I found this:
How Much Has Isak Been Called Offsides In The Premier League | StatMuse
Alexander Isak has been offside 42 times in the Premier League in his career.
Isak:: 42/86 games (6,567 min), i.e. 1 offside every 156 min
For comparison, Nunez's offside rate was twice that (once every 78 min).
Yeah, I look forward to seeing him join us in January -- still think Newcastle will eventually reach an agreement this window so that he plays, gets paid, puts in a shift, and gets his move at our last bid price in the January window.
That’s a good buy for them….put him alongside an established prem striker (Wissa etc) and they’ve got an exciting enough striking option.
The guy I have been going on about. He will be a great goals scorer.
They’re close to signing Wissa now
I reckon they'll probably sanction the Isak deal once Wissa is done. I know he's more of their backup option unlike Sesko et al, but tbh I think they just want him out now. Hope so anyway.
Maybe we could just come to a gentleman's agreement not to play him in that game.
I think he would probably have a minor ankle complaint in the build-up to the game.
Or a thigh injury
