This is a better comparison in that case:

My only problem with Ekitike is that he looks shit.
We’ve scouted him for a long time, so if we move for him it’s a well thought out transfer.
He’s a great fit and already a very good player with the potential to be excellent.

Thanks man. I could have sworn before we were properly linked people where saying he was overrated for the price.
The fee is excessive though. Frankfurt don’t need to sell and the striker market is thin.
But he’s a very good player.
He’s about 20m overpriced (at the 75-80m he’ll go for ) imo…but such is the market and we’ve a title to retain…
I mean you could argue that Isak is £50-60m over priced at £130m too imo.
EF players don't usually play well. However, recruitment team have got it right more often than Klopp. If its not Isak or Ekitike than who? Sesko is about the same price did not do as well.
No, he made the wrong move and was very young (20). PSG had Mbappe, Messi and Neymar.
yea i trust them to get it right
do you know if he pushed to leave or not? i quite like players like sepp who push to go when they’re not playing
If we had supposedly scouted Ekitike for a long time, why the hell did we not get him earlier?
Isak at 120m is our own wishful thinking and it will end up being closer to 150m if it's even possible. We could have gotten Ekitike for half the price but his price seems closer to 80-100m now with the bidding war and everyone knowing we are desperate. If Newcastle get to Ekitike first and Newcastle doesn't sell who's next?

Not sure. Newcastle have appaz tried to sign him 3 times.
If we are going to spend stupid money on a striker I’d rather it was Isak.
I like Ekitike's profile but think he's overpriced (it's a seller's market) and am concerned that Frankfurt have rinsed a lot of teams with small-sample-size attackers in recent years.
I think Isak is brilliant but think he's overpriced (Newcastle don't need to sell) and am concerned he'll be a more expensive Thiago/Ox.
Either way, I don't like the idea of going into this season without buying a striker. And if we win three titles in a row before Isak breaks, I don't care what his resale value is.
The only situation suggested that I don't like is where Isak stays at Newcastle and Chelsea buy Ekitike because, well, why not.

We’re only in this mess because someone thought Nunez would be a great buy.
We all knew this coming in to this window that we were probably not gonna get isak. Ekitike was always my preferred option.
The world of football has fuck all great strikers, so we need to make one

NAME HIM @MomoWASright !!!! Who is that criminal ?
Personally, I think Ekitike is the forward that would suit our current system better. Plus, his fee would probably enable us to get another CF.
We need a hardworking CF who can score, but also drop back and assist, and help with the defensive transition whilst Salah cheats up top defensively.
Isak is more an out and out number 9 who is likely to stay up top cheating defensively with Salah. We'll be less secure defensively when pressing.
Having said that, I'll be happy with either signing. Both are quality players.
Isak world class now. Ekitike world class potential.

To be fair, we were paying to finish build a new stand in the stadium.
A bit like when Arsenal were paying off the Emirates under Wenger, they barely spent.
As soon as it was paid off, and Arteta comes in, he's spending money like a drunken sailor. If only Wenger had that chance...
Mr Intensity
I thought it was klopp
Linders was like wormtongue in the ear of King Theoden
It was Klopp, Henderson, Trent, Van Dijk and Salah if we are being specific.
