Honestly, I would have liked us to sign him as a backup for Ekitike, if we couldn't get Isak over the line.
I hear that.
You know I rate Ekitike, but there's no evidence that he can sustain his form across a season. I'm happy we're going for someone better. With Isak, there is some evidence he can maintain his form in the PL, and any CF that has proven he can unsettle Virgil, Konate, Saliba, Gabriel, Romero and VDV, despite their speed/strength, is simply a must-have market opportunity.
Our rivals will be scared.
Isak was a must. Ekitike is a ridiculous bonus (thanks to Newcastle messing us around).
Oh definitely. Isak is also my number one choice, I just hate what we're paying for him.
I don't care about winning the "net spend" league.
I only care about the quality of player he is. This is kind of like a VVD-level signing. At 75m, people were laughing. Until they weren't.
125m is only a poor outlay if he is on the injury bench and doesn't perform. Or if it doesn't enable us to get our other problem area fixed (namely CB).
