r0cafella Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I understand ikons post but sometimes we have to accept it’s not his game, he’s a very versatile forward who is absolutely ice cold, this in itself is more than enough. Don’t expect shearer like traits though as your going to be disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Go back to our Liverpool game at Anfield. How many goals do you think he scores if he plays for them in that match? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Genuinely believe that if he stays with us for long enough, he’ll beat Shearer's record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpawel Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Feel like him and Gordon look their best on the transition and when the game is stretched, probably why they both have good records against the top teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t expect shearer like traits though as your going to be disappointed. He doesn't need to do the Shearer or Wilson-type battling, tbf. He can work towards channels more though - when we were penned in on Satuday, we were playing long balls down the line to get some relief but Isak was staying central. It was probably just fitness related, like, but I'd expect him at 100% to be doing that running in that scenario. Helps to split defenders too so if they win the initial knockdown then he has a better chance of collecting and making something happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) 17 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: I don't think he's inconsistent. 25 goals in 50-odd games or so. Whenever he's looked match fit - he'll do the business more often than not. A 1 in 2 striker cannot be described as inconsistent. He lacks a bit of aggression and i think he could go on to be a world-beater with better stamina and strength. But I mean properly world-class and an all-timer in the PL. He is. By saying that I’m mostly talking about his in general play. At our club he has improved his consistency when it comes to finishing really. He has scored goals for us even when he has been poor by his own standards. It’s very well known that he has been inconsistent for years and still has shown that he hasn’t taken that last step properly (yet). On his day he is unplayable but there’s also quite a few times when he isn’t playing even near his level. He has even said this himself in interviews in Swedish tv.

Smal Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The area he can most improve on imo is his movement in the box. Too often we'll have the ball wide near the touchline and he'll be behind a defender rather than in front of them and ready to be on the end of a low cross. Think this is what Eddie meant in his comments in the Shearer article too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 He’s got an almost 1 in 2 record for us which is what everyone regards as a very good. In that time though he has suffered injuries, not being 100% fit, and this season played with a fatigued squad behind him. Imagine what he might be able to achieve once he’s fully up and running and we improve our squad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Quote Alexander Isak would walk into the starting XI of Manchester United, Chelsea or Arsenal. He would get a game at Real Madrid. He may be an option to replace Kylian Mbappé at Paris Saint-Germain if, as expected, he leaves Newcastle United at the end of this season. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/alexander-isak-newcastle-united-eddie-howe-5rh3txxfx Here we go.

80 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) I do find it more plausible than Bruno incidentally... I'm not sure we'd get a fee to justify it though, considering his incoming price, injuries and importance to our side. I'd be wanting £130m+ and I'm not sure anyone would pay that.
