toontownman Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Think we would quickly shift the next level of squad players out. Don't believe for a second we would be done at just isak. Could be a case of waiting until deadline day though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only reason we'd even have a chance with him, which is why we're probably trying to jump on this now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 4 minutes ago, The Prophet said: If he was accurate we'd currently have a playing squad including, Rob Holding, Nat Phillips, Romain Perraud, Mohamed Elneny and Eddie Nketiah. He got the Chris Wood scoop and was second to Matt Targett, but his hit rate is piss poor. Not a chance he would be getting anything from the owners after the Cuntish way he has went about reporting on them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I genuinely don't know what I'd do if we got Isak like. Would be an absolutely incredible signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I would think it'd be a decent window if we got Isak in and that was our lot, that'd be 4 new first team players coming in, which is a fair chunk. I still feel we could make do with Fraser and Almiron for half a season, they're not ideal, they're midtable at best, but Trips is on that side which can account for that as he's quality and he had a decent partnership with Fraser before he got injured. This ownership want to do this step by step, improve slowly getting 3 to 5 quality signings per season, its not going to be instant, so in the interim there'll be positions that will need to be improved, but it'll be gradual. Can honestly see us getting Isak and then a winger on loan, which would be a great window tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) If we could get Diaby and Isak for 40 million each do people not think we'd sign them both? I'm convinced we would tbh. Edited July 12, 2022 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Isak seems to stay fit and is quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 If we can pay in , instalments…I still think we can do another big deal We can also look at loans / loans to buys FFP - won’t stop us , as we can sign less players in future windows They are very clever and if the right player comes along why wouldn’t they try to do a deal or bring a deal forward ? Losses are over a 3 year period and it makes sense to do a deal if it’s there to be done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 If we do spend big money on Isak I can see them essentially flipping the strategy. We all thought they'd spend big on a winger and loan (with potential to buy next summer) a striker. Just go the other route. Only issue being that likely rules out Diaby.

One of those players who plays like he has absolutely everything I'm terms of ability - just not quite prolific in front of goal. Only 22 though.

We're never getting either for £40 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see him really getting on as a wide forward in the PL too with his skill, pace, dribbling ability and such. Further, he'd an absolute monster on back and near post crosses too.
