Optimistic Nut Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 (edited) So annoying that we're this dick away from a proper challenge on all fronts this season. I don't just mean good cup runs and top 5, but we could have properly challenged for PL & CL with a happy Isak and this group under Howe.

healthyaddiction Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 Thinking about this, assuming we can afford Woltemade without breaking PSR, it strengthens our hand in negotiating with Liverpool. If Isak stays, Woltemade would work well in a partnership as the link man, and if Isak continues to refuse to play, well we have a top striker now, so we're no worse off than before. Liverpool have to pay what we want or we can have our cake and eat it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 I genuinely don’t think they have a set up for integrating Salah, Ekitike and Isak into the same front line. Ekitike’s likely going to have to get some minutes on the bench. Some reward for having a good start. Think Isak going there will unbalance the side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfella Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 Why are so many convinced that he's away to Liverpool, is it just because we're looking like spending a fair bit on Woltemade? We were prepared to pay 80mill or so for Ekitike before all this Isak nonsense blew up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 Get Wissa + Woltemade and agree with Liverpool to do a deal in January. Let them and him wait. With any luck it will cost them the title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 If we sign another striker and have some PSR headroom I would like us to just take the hit and leave him in the reserves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor craic. There's many insults we can throw at that snakey bastard for many reasons. We can do so much better than mocking his physical appearance.

Dandy Man Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 Don't want to be that betting nonce and it's probably a reaction to the Woltemade news more than anything but betting been suspended on his next club across the board now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 The Woltemade deal gives us the latitude here. Whether his asking price is met or not, we'll need to bring in another striker regardless, so much will depend on extent to which clubs like Brentford or Wolves are willing sellers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarie4 Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 Get Wissa in and another CM, l get shot of Isak for a 140/50 package and we are in a strong position to attack the season on all fronts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 28 minutes ago, Flip said: We hold all the leverage now. Yep, pay what we want or no deal. It was the lack of one striker that was effing us up. If we don't sell, there is a high chance of Woltemade (and/or another striker) scoring a shitload while Isak sits on his arse watching his appeal to other clubs evaporate. He will have to beg us to let him play. Only one of Wolves and Brentford is getting a big payday, so we have more leverage there too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
