Alexander Isak - now a Newcastle player

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Probably bought him as they know Callum Wilson will pick up the inevitable injury. That would have left them short. If he can learn to convert more chances he will be a great signing.
They're probably realising that they're going to have to overpay to some extent until they reach the point where they're a more desirable destination for the type of talent they want to target, similar to how City did. If they have a good season I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them break 100 mill next summer on someone.
It’s the same thing City had, signing Robinho on the last day and he wasn’t entirely sure who City were, Madrid just wanted him out
We're about to pay £90m for Anthony. We're in no place to laugh at the fee tbh.
Huge money... Has potential and can be a handful already, but needs to score more goals before a top club goes for him
feck sake, he is good. Not £70M but still good.
What's that got to do with Isak?? Let's keep politics out of threads unless it's directly related. On a side note the sentence is ridiculous but I'd like to see more twitters c##ts get the jail.
I prefer Wilson tbh. Will they play 2 up top ?
Wow, the great Magpie has finally awakened.
Why is nobody, including us, going for Ivan Toney?
Didnt he get injured again?
This mean Wood is just discarded now, shitty oil clubs.
Isak looks a good talent and had a good Euros, but I can't see him being much of a finisher.
Sociedad seem to be a bit of a Brighton case: good on the ball, make plenty of chances, don't score close to the number of goals they probably should. They finished 6th last year and managed fewer goals than 2/3 of the teams that went down. Not sure I'd be spending 70m on that team's striker.

I don't think it's that serious. It's still a good signing for Newcastle if true
Yeah it is, he will improve their attack options still a lot of money though. Fair play to Sociedad
If he's clever he'll demand a 4 year contract max. He's probably thinking it'll be easy to move to a "bigger" club in a couple of seasons but Newcastle will not need to sell.
Always felt like he was an "incase we get relegated" signing
And this is why Todd should happily scribble the Cheque for 80m now for Fofana and be happy. The numbers are just going to go higher.
Nah, he holds all the cards. Make Brenda squirm.
Thought he looked a good player. Was wondering why we were no longer linked considering we need a striker. Probably another we'll regret.
Will be interesting to see how he performs in the PL, disappointing though I wanted him here!
That + weakening relegation rival + injury to wilson. Wood is obviously never a 25m player under normal circumstances but there was an element of panic about it which is why we went straight for the 25m buyout for him.
Must be some off the field type stuff because I don’t get it either, he’s awesome
Expensive but a good buy. They are making some shrewd moves.
Seems like a lot for him.
But he does have a decent goals per 90 record. I expect he'll score a plenty of goals for Newcastle, judging by how they played against City the weekend, they will create chances for him to put away.

Not sure if there's anything serious, but he hasn't done himself any favours publicly disrespecting Brentford a few times. Seems a bit of a big time charlie.
Looks like a very decent player from the little I have seen.
feck me Greenwood really was worth 150m, the fecking wally.
Must be because its a puzzler otherwise.
It begins.
feck... here we go
Well, ETH wanted some physical presence up top, maybe...
These guys offered 4 billion dollars for a 50% stake in the club. Of course the glazers said no. It’s definitely going to be only Newcastle/City for the prem in the coming years.
How about Gordon then ?
Feck them, in a way I’m kinda glad even for City’s Dominance nobody thinks they’re a real club.
Damn. I'd they had said yes that would be two in one. Us richer, and no to another prem club competing us financially. Bloody idiots
Bit fecking annoying, can’t pretend it’s not. Hope he flops but I think he’ll do brilliantly.
