Agreed. That would suit our new attack as well imho
Does it?
Perhaps my view is skewed by his latter years on the left at Barca but I think there is a difference between starting up front and drifting left to starting on the left and being expected to occupy that space.

I wasn't sure either - just from memory I seem to remember him playing there, jinking inside and scoring - a lot !
I know Whoscored keep these stats so a quick check shows (across all clubs and years) he scored 56 goals from 44 matches starting at LW. Obviously a lot more at CF (230 goals in 168 matches) some other positions played not included. In the PL 175 in 238 games).
..or Newcastle have given him the ok to leave a week or two ago (in order to strengthen the squad) and doing him dirty in framing the whole situation as Isak forcing a move…
He isn’t on the front of the club shop either after the kit launch.
oh i’m not doubting what’s going on but people do like to make up all kinds of shite
I think there is a difference between a striker who likes to operate in the left channels and left sided attacker. Henry operates in the left channels for the invincible team, but he had support from Pires and Ashley Cole.
Are we sure he is swedish and not French?
Or was told to stay away or train by himself. Geordie fans will interpret that as 'striking'.
What worries me is that Wirtz, Ekitike and Isak all like drifting into that left channel when they're playing centrally, like Henry did. Might be a bit congested and leave Mo isolated.
Well that's where the training and instructions come in ! We're not throwing our jumpers down on the floor for a kickabout 🤣
He won't be here mate. Fofana or Rodrygo may be though !
Nunez is still here and will remain so. We are the only thick cunts to sign him.
Nunez has started 49 league games for us, but he hasn't started a game since March when he hit that 49 figure. He's only been a sub (in the league) since then.
So I'm guessing we'd have to pay Benfica a few £m if he starts another league game because there's a contingent payment every 25 or maybe every 50 games. So one more start will cost us a few £m. That's not happening and is one more reason why he needs to go.
It also shows that clubs need to be smarter about add-ons. Instead of £2.5m every 25 games, just go with £100k per 45 mins+ or something like that, capped at £2.5m. You're more likely to get your money that way.
We also had a club (Ajax, I think) who put a clause in saying that if we sold the player within X number of years then all the contingencies would be triggered (to get around the situation where we'd just sell the player rather than trigger the add-ons). I doubt Benfica have been that savvy (or that we'd have given them the clause if they asked).
Apparently he’s learning to speak Italian and he’s been seen in papa John’s with a 12” meat feast.
Is this a euphemism for the ages?
I can see it being accepted and Fabrizio/ornstein tweeting about it, then 6 hours later the sesko fee is agreed, to try and calm down the pissed off geordies
