AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 13, 2025 Share Posted August 13, 2025 (edited) 1 hour ago, KingArthur said: Just crossed my mind, that the fact Isak is always exhausted after 60-70 mins and is not really much about endless running and pressing like Murphy, Elanga, Isak or Barnes (and Almiron and Longstaff prior). I mean that, if he just doesn't want to play Howe's football? If he is just a bit of a lazy footballer? Playing in a team like Liverpool means you are doing a lot less pressing and having the ball a lot more. More likely the reason is money and trophies though. He just has quite a weird body for football and low stamina IMO. I don’t think he’ll ever to be able to play a good 90 minutes, he really drops off noticeably around 55. Not such a problem if you can bring another £90m striker on I guess. Edited August 13, 2025 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon No9 Posted August 13, 2025 Share Posted August 13, 2025 https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/alexander-isak-agent-liverpool-transfer-35716584 Interesting read in the Mirror about Isaks agent. Was a big mediastorm in Sweden about this Universal agency about a year ago. Lemic who acts as a "advisor" is a really shady person who does what it takes to move his players and the clubs doesn't get much money from the playersales. Most goes to the agent. He had a real grip of AIK(Isaks former club) and put them under a lot of pressure. They have now cut all ties with Universal. And now most clubs in Sweden refuses to buy or sell players as long as Universal is a part of any deal. Gives a lot of answers to why Isak is acting the way he does.

Must be remembered that back in 22/23 Wilson was in direct competition with Isak and was regularly starting ahead of him and having a great goalscoring season himself. We don't have a 22/23 (18 goals) equivalent to Wilson right now to fall back on if Isak goes. We have Osula and Gordon. If we get a Wissa or equivalent then agreed the drop off shouldn't be as severe. But we will see against Villa and Liverpool if we have no one new to play up top how much of a difference it makes. Just look at how much we improved when we got Wood in 21/22. Yes he didn't score the goals but it improved the function of the rest of the team having a recognised striker.

Being a Nottingham Forest Plus is no bad thing and same as Wissa, Forest may consider selling an OAP asset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it is the case, but could be something more than that. I believe I remember reading they are quite a dangerous lot, luring young prospects in early with gifts and stuff to make them sign for them. Probably not as fun once their name is on that contract.
