Shola.
Alexander Isak - now a Newcastle player
- Thread starter simplyared
- Start date
Shola.
Has to be.
Duncan Ferguson.
Lee Bowyer struck Kieron Dyer a few times if that counts
Reminds me of Lewa. Such an all rounded striker. I'd go as far to say, arguably the best in Europe on current form.
We should buy him. He’s definitely worth 2 Antony’s
Will you be paying?
Papiss Cisse, for about 8 weeks anyway
Obafemi Martins. Or maybe Demba Ba. If not then definitely Faustino Asprilla.
You're probably about right. Isak isn't what Shearer was by the time he got to Newcastle (already a PL legend with a ridiculous goalscoring record behind him), but his trajectory looks like he's genuinely about to become a permanent fixture in the argument for best striker in Europe, if not the world. But yeah, up to now I'd probably say Ferdinand, who was lethal in his own right and is probably underrated in the present day compared to how good he actually was.
Any Geordies on here? Be interesting to get their take.
He's probably the most complete striker in the world at the moment.
Absolute steal at that price in the current market. Probably the second most valuable striker in the world now.
Definitely Nile Ranger
My bad i was referring to his previous swedish club. If i remember correctly he also had a short lived spell at Dortmund
Come on, there is objectively no comparison between being the number 9 for Newcastle and being the number 9 for United. Competition is very different from scrutiny. Nobody outside of newcastle fans cared about Isak until this season.
Fail to score for United and the whole of internet talks about you
Isak scored 10 goals his first season for you. Hojlund was being crucified here for the same stats in his first season

There is very little difference I’d imagine.
Just edited ahaha
10 PL goals in 1530 minutes is very good at least at the tiny and irrelevant Newcastle. I don't know what the expectations are at mighty Man United but if that's not good enough maybe something should change.
No chance he's still at Newcastle next season.
Where does he go? Can't think of that many destinations for him for what he'd cost.
Bought for £63m, contracted until 2028. Would guess he'd be £100m-£120m.
PSG, anywhere else?
Newcastle will likely qualify for the CL so there's probably only a handful of clubs who could sign him. Don't see it happening for a while yet.
Who can buy him and need a striker?
PSG and Real Madrid might be able to buy him and they dont have a superstar striker. Barcelona should not be able to buy him (although they have their ways) and have Lewandowski. Bayern have Kane, City has Haaland. Will Arsenal be able to pay for him and do they want to pay for him? What other options are there?
I think he will be there next season.
He has Barca written all over him
They need to find a big fecking lever to pull to afford that one!
They’ll stop paying wages to a few players
What does this mean exactly? They don't have anybody leaving at the end of a contract this summer outside of Szczesny, meanwhile they have a tonne of players out of contract in 2026 including the likes of Yamal, Pedri and Gavi who they'll need to extend.
They're gonna have to sell a bunch of players to finance a £100m+ transfer for someone. I wouldn't be surprised to see them try and sell the likes of FDJ, Christensen/Garcia but all 3 of those are also out of contract in 2026 so they won't get full market value for them and their squad depth wise will be paper thin.
He is not going anywhere if they qualify for the CL
They can't afford him.
Seing as City just signed players for over a hundred millions resigned Haaland on a forever contract with 130 charges above their heads I would expect the other nation state to follow suit at some point. Newacastle already have a strong spine of talented, good or very good players like Botman, Livramento, Tonali, Guimares, Gordon, Joelinton and Isak. They're likely in CL next season. If the sentence is as soft as City's actions indicate the nation states will surely dominate the league in the future.
They shouldnt be but it is Barcelona. They always find some way somehow. Maybe they try to sell the media rights of an unborn future player for some quick cash or something? Who knows what they come up with.
Bayern when Kane is too old for them. Arsenal if they splash the cash.
As a swede it is so strange to have two of the most sought after players in Europe being from our tiny country.

People missed my sarcasm unfortunately.
When did the lack of money stop Barca from signing players?
They’ll find a way to sign Isak just like they signed Olmo for 60m this summer
Best striker in the league
Complete player.
Not just a goalscorer.
Not just a goalscorer.
And if you dont give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize your entire country will be sought after. Winning.
50 league goals in like 76 games
If Real was smarter they’d get him instead of Mbappe
Maybe but i wouldnt have made this comment just after Mbappe scored a hattrick to knock City out of the CL....
