More likely he'll be playing for a Turkish or Greek club in 2 years time.

Why? Is he still on strike?

Would walk into any midfield in the country. He's absolutely brilliant.

Fuck

Instead of wasting 40m on this guy, we should have got Frattesi or BEK instead. And it's not hindsight either because a lot of us did question this signing. Just like a lot of us questioned the signing of Anthony Elanga, who I believe is going to become the first big money flop since our Saudi takeover. Obviously, I hope I'm wrong and they both have stellar careers with us, but the early signs are not good.

Unfortunately, you are right. I'd love to see him go back to the form of his Real Sociedad days, when he was scoring a piddly 6 goals a season, before Eddie turned him into a world class striker. Sadly, that's not going to happen.

He's not the first, and he most certainly won't be the last.

I don't think anyone here is saying otherwise, are they?

We should revisit the Osula sale in future windows, if we can. 30m plus for him would be an incredible bit of business.

We should have insisted he only play 20 minutes per game like Liverpool did with Isak and Sweden.

I get the impression he believes he is bigger and better than the national team. In his own mind, he probably thinks a man of his talents should be playing for Brazil or Argentina, not lowly Sweden. If he really cared, he would have insisted he be available for the full 90 minutes in that game last night. Shouldn't matter that his club side said he can only play for 20. He's a selfish rat. And his manager Jon Dahl Tomasson is a spineless twat. Imagine agreeing to play your star striker for only 20 minutes, match fit or not, in a crucial World Cup qualifier because his club said so. It boggles the mind, it really does.

Any half decent club side should be able to beat any international team.

The money didn't flow from Saudi. It came from Liverpool when we sold them Isak. Perhaps he should be having a go at them and not Saudi.

Agent Anderson: Mission accomplished

Yes, we do. Let's call it the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium.

Isak is probably happiest when he's not playing or training, the work-shy cunt.

Utter prick.

There's talk a Saudi consortium might be interested. Whether that's a private consortium or government backed, I don't know. Not sure where that would leave us if it happened.

Disagree. I hope Stuttgart do free 28 day returns.

Just seen the highlights of the match. I hope we kept the receipt.

Not going to lie, seeing the new thread title "Alexander Isak (now playing for Liverpool)", there was a pang of hurt. It was only momentary though.

For me, Batistuta and Shearer were the joint 3rd best strikers of the 90s. R9 was 1st. Romario, number 2.

Isak should be enemy number 1, but he clearly isn't. Even alot of our own fans were wishing him well in the replies to that thank you video he put up on instagram.

Not going to happen, I'm afraid. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they've managed to arrange a sweetheart deal for Salah to go to one of their clubs next summer on the back of this Isak transfer.

If it was me, I'd have said, "fine, you want to sit out till January, then you sit out the next 3 years as well".
