Alexander Isak: has a chance to play against Everton (Howe)


Recommended Posts

After a very promising start, Isak's career stalled a bit. I understand that it didn't work out at Dortmund, and his last season at Sociedad wasn't great. I think the fee we paid was based on his potential, while other clubs looked at his recent history and decided not to take the risk. 

 

Time will tell whether he's a bargain, but I think we got it right. Purely based on his technical skill on the ball, I think he's the best striker in the league. What has surprised me is that other aspects of his game - his pace, strength, finishing, heading, intelligence - are much better than I had dared to hope. I think Eddie is right in saying that he doesn't have a weakness in his game.

 

I gather he's quite a shy character, and that held him back at various points in his career. There's a little bit of a swagger about him now which is good to see.

What's funny? Is 1/3 of a season and a few goals against bottom half sides the makings of a £60m player now? 

 

What's Lingard worth after that West Ham stint? 

 

Settle down fanboy. 

 

 

Hey Froggy, I believe his goal scoring rate right now is ridiculous. That's in your very own Premier League. We'll see long term of course but it doesn't look like a bad buy now.

Not that it matters at all but Isak in his career apart from International is a goal every 2.58 games and Martial is a goal every 3.7 games. 
 

If we include Martial’s brilliant strike rate of a goal every 15 caps for France it gets even worse.

I don't know why Martial was brought up in the first place. :lol:

 

Martial would have scored 400 in Holland mind.

Martial is so good they bought Weghorst to replace him.

 

Yes correct. Martial has missed 27 games through injury this year so we signed someone to cover him. We also lost Ronaldo.

 

When Martial is fit, Weghorst won't see the pitch.
