Would you rather have every song in the world covered by Smash Mouth or one song (All Star by Smash Mouth) that anyone can cover?

The alternative time line has him signing a 200k week deal with us for one more season and then he gets his big move probably on >400k per week to Barca/Bayern who would likely play to his strengths in leagues which are physically more forgiving and he'd be remembered here as the best since Shearer and go on to be a global football superstar. Instead, he scorched earthed his way to a team that didn't need him to play with team mates who didn't want him, the notoriously savage press in this country are already mocking him and labelling him as a flop and his body language doesn't indicate that he has to stomach for the fight to turn the narrative. Yes, he got his move and the riches that come with it, but make no mistake, this will be hurting him

One of the most average players I've ever seen for us. He wasn't appalling, he never did anything special, he was just always kinda there. The most notable thing about his Newcastle career is that his name is synonymous with one of the worst transfer windows in recent times.

Do we have a better squad than than every Serie A Team? On paper: possibly On grass: almost certainly not

A 1 in 4 striker isn't terrible on the face of it. But after you factor in his price tag, the fact he offers nothing else on the pitch and that when he plays he's keeping a far better player out the side then it's an appalling return.

But remember, this is the victim club which is persecuted by the national media!

Let me be clear, I wouldn't want Liverpool to win a game of Tiddlywinks against ISIS buuuuuuut if Liverpool are going to win, I want Ekitike to win them games single handedly to the point where he makes himself undroppable and the rat is only trusted for a run out against tin pot teams in the early rounds of the cup

'He needs a pre season under his belt' 'He needs a run of games' 'Just wait until X comes back into the side' 'He's played a lot recently' 'He needs time to settle' These are all examples of comfort blankets fans wrap themselves in when they're in denial about a new signing, I'm guilty of it myself too of course. Deep down, you know your team has just bought a dud but you've seen other players turn around their fortunes in the past when one of these factors has occured so you're clinging onto the hope that all will end well. However, they spent 125/130m on a player who has been one of the standout players of the PL the past 3 seasons, for that money he not only has to hit the ground running, he has to be transformative and elevate the rest of the team with him. They weren't breaking the British transfer record to supplement Ekitike or replace Darwin Nuñez, this has been an unmitigated disaster for them and there's very little Isak can do to change that if he's even motivated enough to try. If and when he starts notching up a few goals here and there the dipper fluffers in the media will no doubt be wanking themselves into a stupor about it.

WTF are Celtic playing at by getting this guy in? I know O'Neill was never the long term fix for them but he done well to get the team over the line and close the gap to Hearts, it seems such a wild risk bringing in some guy from the MLS with little credentials to his name. He may turn out good like Ange did but with the state of their squad I wouldn't have thought that now would be the best time for such a gamble, the guy looks totally out of his depth and from what I read, McInnes figured out Celtics' game after 30 mins

He seems like the kinda guy who'd leave a stag do early cause he didn't want to miss an episode of Big Brother. Edit: He'd never be invited to a stag do

Pffff, the ship has sailed on JSL so.........Rob Edwards as Graeme Jones' coffee porter? Hugo Bueno as a possible PSR flip?

From my personal experience, despite how fucking wild their rivalry is, I've found fans of the Glasgow clubs to be the soundest, both sides speak very highly of the Geordies and Newcastle (at least to my face). West Ham fans get an honourable mention too, top fakin' geezers! Anyway, back on topic. Isak has the personality of a 100mm Celcon H+H High Strength Grade Plain Face 7.3N Breeze Block and his gangly presence has poisoned the Liverpool dressing room. Discuss.

Fucking hell, footage from 2003 is what footage from the 70's looked like to me in 2003!

Wasn't that the game when one of their pre-match fireworks (utter woke nonsense) malfunctioned and fired into the crowd?

Great post. I always found Scousers (both red and blue) to be great people, very similar to Geordies in many aspects. I try to make the distinction between them and eScouser gimps who crawled out the woodwork during the Isak saga

If there was ever a rational thought rattling around the void where this deplorable maggot's brain should be, he could've carved out a respectable career for himself on the lower league managerial merry-go-round. Instead he chose to jump in, two footed on the 'red pilled, alpha male, anti woke, free speech is under attack' bandwagon but without any of the subtlety or treading the fine line between expressing a strong opinion and hate speech/libel. I despair at the thought of anyone finding this oxygen thief inspiring. Forget Ashley, Bruce or Isak, this scumbag is the first face that gets carved on the NUFC Mt.Rushmore of cunts.

To give them credit, they're more of a "proper" club than some of the others in the PL, but by Christ they're so fucking bland that if it wasn't for the fact that they're stinking out the joint this year, you'd forget that they're even there. If you done a poll which asked all British football fans to name the 20 PL clubs, Wolves would the one that was mentioned last the most. Source: Trust me bro.

Big chance for Wirtz and Isak to pad their stats

Fucking Bournemouth man More like Boringmouth amarite?!

I wonder how Celtic fans feels knowing that they're the blue magnets on his board? Funnily enough, Wilfried Nancy is French for Russell Martine

Tino pocketed him in the LCF, he hasn't emerged since.

Me on this thread the past 24 hours:

Stop! Stop! Stop! This is all coming in too fast, I'm still enjoying Slot's comments about Jacob Murphy, I haven't even got round to the Salah interview yet! How much schadenfreude can one man possibly handle?
