Isak to turn up in a half-and-half scarf.

Strong disagree. Vlahovic is pony.

Sounds like his agent is over for this one too.

King Ryder has spoken.

The striker situation does feel cursed like. We got the other four positions wrapped up without much fuss.

Let's take a look at the market. £55 million is the benchmark for a winger with any form of productivity. The striker market is an even smaller pool with the top end of the market at £70 million to £80 million for young, unproven names. Larsen is a Premier League striker for 14 goals and 4 assists, with his best years in front of him. There's absolutely no way a striker of that pedigree, in this market, with us being in the position of desperation we're in is going on the cheap.

£50 million really isn't that bad. The issue is that it'll cost more to prize him away.

I'd be surprised if Wolves aren't willing sellers. Their owners are effectively asset strippers.

Is that a back three tonight then?

Already taken down.

Larsen is similar quality bracket to Wissa. I think Jackson is a bit better than both of them. Not watched enough of Sorloth to comment.

Hope.

They also have Igor Thiago back.

The point still stands. It'll be the same reaction next year.

We may need to lower our expectations on the "Isak replacement" though.

Heard it on the radio this morning and it's been stuck in my head all day.

Bid on Monday. Talking terms on Tuesday. We'll be making content by Wednesday. And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday. Announced on Sunday.

Seems there's something up with his medical.

Don't get me wrong, it should have been sorted by now, but I do think it'll get done. It's a necessity.

I'm surprisingly calm about it. We absolutely have to sign striker, our season hinges on it, but the club are fully aware of that too.

He's a baby for a keeper, buy he needs to toughen up a bit. Looks way too easy to bully. We'd have always been buying him for the potential though.
