Sweden are also winning 6-0, Isak has no assists or goals and has missed a penalty :lol: 

He seems to be a strangely poor penalty taker when there is no pressure on but superb when it counts.  From memory he has missed two for us, one was in a friendly and the other we were something like 3-0 up at the time.

They can Isak if they fancy paying £150m in cash. Otherwise, move along.

 

This is similar to us saying we should sign Mbeumo. I’m sure Brentford fans feel similar. 

The difference being we don't have Shearer banging on about Mbeumo to us like they do with Merson with Isak.

Well let's see what happens then. When I was talking about this recently, I really meant that in a PSR constrained world, giant fees like Isak would command are not really the model anymore unless you're Real Madrid or a sovereign state owned club, cos they have the potential to buckle you.

 

If Swiss Ramble says that on paper they have the headroom though, then he'll be right.

Wouldn’t it be putting all their financial eggs in one basket though?…. unless they sell, which in a way defeats the object of slotting what many consider the final piece of their title jigsaw into place….

 

Yeah that's what I mean. Aye, he's the final bit they need to win the league, but it's also a massive risk to invest that much into one player.

 

Not to say they won't take that risk if they've got the money/headroom, but they spent £100m on Rice and he's not exactly pulling up any trees this season. They'd make a loss on him if they sold him now. 

 

It's such an amount of money that it HAS to work. There's no margin for error at all.

Meanwhile, yet another article on Sky Sports about how he would be the perfect solution to Arsenal's striker problem.

When will they put their, "How Saka would be the perfect solution to Newcastle's right-wing problem" article out?

There’s zero chance of us selling Isak to a direct rival for a top 4 spot in January. We’re not a selling club anymore. It isn’t happening.

 

Fail to qualify for champions league this season however, and that might change. This lad should be playing champions league football every season, he’s that good. He’s already given us one season without it. He’s coming into his peak years now. We probably will be forced to cash in during the summer if we miss out. It’s a big incentive to make this season count

aye.

it's far from beyond the bounds of possibility that in a months time we're above arsenal in the league and we've booked a place at wembley at their expense too.

it also can't have escaped isak's attention that arteta is an absolute whopping fucking thundercunt.
