SENSATIONAL !!!
That’s the thing. If we were to blow that much on Isak, which I don’t think we will, surely that means less money spent elsewhere.
I don’t mind spending over the top on a striker when we need one and the market is inflated, but I’d rather grab one and not overspend twice, and maybe grab another when the market calms down.
Insightful stuff…
Seems like we still want Isak then from what people are saying. Weird. I know we probably need 2 strikers ideally but Ekitike seems like a strange complement to Isak.
Is my guess. Wirtz will play on the left
Salah----Ekitike----Wirtz
-----------Isak------------
or
Salah------------------Wirtz
---------Isak-----Ekitike
The Isak thing (if he goes to Saudi) makes a tiny amount of sense. Newcastle probably need the money, but don't want to sell their asset to a "rival". PIF come in, buy him for another club, some creative accounting later and Newcastle can spend big on someone else.
Maybe Isak and Etikite would rarely play together. Maybe Liverpool have recognised the crazy demands on players these days in that the football season is almost 12 months now. Maybe Slot want 2 world class players for every position so each player only plays about 30 games per season.
Alisson
Marmaduke
Bradley. Konate. Van Dijk. Kerkez
Frimpong. Gomez. Guehi. Robbo
Gravenberch. MacAllister
Szobozlai. Endo
Salah. Wirtz. Gakpo
Diaz. Jones. Rio
Isak
Ekitike
I think there’s some truth in this but in Slot’s system / vision, there’s more of a need for two WC players in certain positions…the full backs, the wingers (he’s always liked to use four wingers a game before now), the 9 and the 10.
There’s times in the season when we’re playing roughly 300 minutes a week, so even if we have both Isak and Ekitike as our rotational WC options for the 9, they’re likely to play 180 and 120 minutes each. Likewise, there’s no point in signing world class Wirtz for a bucketload of cash / wages and expecting him to stay fit / fresh on 200+ minutes a week…hence Szobo will get plenty of game time too.
Signing Isak on top and not winning the treble would almost be a failure
Depends on what he is smuggling, sorry I mean carrying in the handbag.
It is funny people’s perception, if he is carrying the bag for his GF - what a gent, how humble.
Carrying it for himself…soft c***, who does he think he is, he is going to get butchered on a wet night in Stoke.
Isak's not gone on Newcastle's pre-season tour.
Does anyone remember the absolute state of Salah’s kecks for his contract reveal? Nobody was laying into him about that abomination. Actually, there’s a chance I did.
Isak too would be insane.
WTAF, maybe FSG have heard City will get off and thought fuck it, unleash the hounds.

He could’ve smuggled a few wheel of Parmesan cheese in the legs.
