feck sake, he is good. Not £70M but still good.
Newcastle United sign Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad for €70m rising to €75m
- Thread starter Kush
- Start date
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.
‘Have to question their strategy. They started the window chasing Ektike, then it was Joao Pedro and now they have soent huge money on Izak. It’s like they are just throwing names at a wall. Who is making decisions up there?’
I believe that’s how it goes.

No, they always were going to spend big just didn’t want to make it blindly obvious of sports washing.
Player that is worth quarter of that. Wow. Sociedad did some great work there.
Saudi retirement money being set on fire basically. Nice.
Haha true but then that doesn’t sell with Newcastle.
Chump change for them now.
