Bid incoming for Isak shortly

 

[Modo]

He looks a decent player. Not world class. Somewhere between German Crouch and German Berbatov. Not world class but will be a nuisance for some teams in England if he cleans up his first touch.

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).

I thought that guy had signed for Bayern twice this summer. Well good news for us I guess

 

[Al_Gatto]

Once Woltemade actually signs, our second Isak bid should be nearer the £90m mark imo.

Then they might end up accepting the £110m we put on the table.

The newest, greatest striker in world football. Made so overnight.

What speed?

WhereTF did they unearth this guy? Perhaps I should watch German football more often. 23 years old. It's like he's playing with children on those highlights.

Imagine being Bayern DOF. It is one thing being outworked by Slot, Hughes and Edward’s. Completely different ball game when Eddie’s nephew closes a deal over you for a player desperate to play for Bayern.

 

[Hansern]

Someone said Woltemade looks like Anthony Gordon’s evil twin, and now I can’t unsee it.

 

[ctlovesred]

He has decent feet and seems to have mastered to art of making the most of when he loses control of the ball. But fast?

He is sure not fast. But he appears like he has pace or good momentum. Or is somehow unpredictable/different with his turns and decision-making. He will sure be an interesting addition to the PL.
