Zlatan, who played 70 minutes of football in 1 year, is selected for the Swedish national team. So Isak will have a rest next week! We (Sweden) are a fucking joke.

 

Pass on our thanks to your manager anyway, means less chance of Isak picking up an injury on international duty.

Last time he went on international duty was when he picked up his injury I think

[SUPERTOON]

So Isak and Bruno aren’t going on international duty ? Fucking get in.

[frankpingel]

Headline on .com is Isak has been called up? 

[Jack27]

 

[SUPERTOON]

That’s disappointing ?

[TRon]

Gah.

[HawK]

Love me a good truppslapp.

[FLUMPO235]

Down side of having good players again, international football can fuck off and risk other teams players. 

[STM]

OK course Isak was going to get called up.  He's pretty much their best player.

 

I also think it's a good thing for us. He's hardly had any minutes and it will all build his fitness and confidence. I'd like to think Newcastle and Sweden will discuss his training schedule etc.

[frankpingel]

I'm hoping he plays one of the two games, which will be of benefit to us in increasing his overall match fitness.

Like many, I was getting exasperated at the reluctance to start with this guy, but I'm now starting to think that Eddie may have played a blinder. He's protected the guy from aggravating his injury, increased his fitness, given him time to integrate, but also fuelled the guy's motivation to prove himself and nail down his place. Given his talent, I think Isak has slightly underachieved in his career, but I wonder if Eddie has now created a bit of a monster.

It’s almost like he knows what he’s doing.

to be fair it’s how he does it with many of the new signings . Good post

Eddie knew how injury prone Wilson is and how Isak was recovering from one and still adapting to the league. Add in selling Wood and you can see why he's kept playing Wilson despite form dip, and brought on Isak gradually. Part for fitness and injury, part to ease the player in. It will pay dividends switching the two around ao Isak plays more and Wilson gets more cameo appearances to keep Isak safe and fresh.

What a talent.

[Deuce]

Beautiful baby boy.

[Ginola]

I love him

That finish was pure instinct. The only way he could score was to shape his leg like that and hit it off the shin.

[Big Geordie]

Super little finish for the goal

[Myleftboot]

There was rumours of swapping him for vlaohvic, I would cry if that happened.

[Keggy_Keagal]

Isak is special man

Bye bye Wilson
