We were desperate, he’d have been quality for us if we went down and signing him weakened Burnley. Edited August 24, 2022 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 For my fellow plane nonces: Couple of Netjets (private charters that we've used a few times before) have just landed at Biarritz: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/cs-che / https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/cs-dxz. It's the closest international airport to San Sebastian, where Real Sociedad are based. Maybe one for our lads? And one for Isak and his crew? Can only see 7 days of data, but neither plane has been there in the past week. Also, this one went from Cambridge to Bilbao yesterday morning: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/cs-chf. That's also only an hour or so from San Sebastian, so could feasibly have been Ashworth, Nickson, and whoever else flying out (Downie has reported that they're already in Spain).

Mazzy Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I'd argue £60m for Isak is reasonable value, it's certainly overpaying but the fact there are so few players like him actually available and we needed a ST desperately Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 The fact he's 6ft4, quick and skillfull means he's a cert IMO. In one way or another he's going to cause havoc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay, it’s not a big stretch to think some of the thinking in singing him was that a) he could help us stay up (which he did), b) that should we go down we have a player who has scored a lot at that level and proved himself and b) we are signing Burnley, a relegation threatened rival’s main centre-forward.

Has not reached those heights again but has been more central when he has played. I like him a lot! So he could potentially replace Almiron in a starting 11?

sushimonster85 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 If course we wait for the first day of my holiday for that mystical "the next player we sign we won't hear about till it's nearly done" signing. Been refreshing Twitter on spotty hotel WiFi all afternoon here. Just wanted to say this is mental. The lad is a huge talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly not. It could turn out to be a decent fee depending on how he takes to the league and develops, but right now we are over paying to get a striker.

masterofawe8 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 This signing will put Wilson as the No. 2 striker for sure and might knock out Wood from most playing time after Wilson comes back from injury Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are overpaying but it's reasonable to do so considering the position we are in with such a lack of attacking options and Wilsons injury record.

Plus, we will likely overpay for most signings because clubs know we have mountains to cash to spend if we really want a player. Got to get used to it.

Hanshithispantz Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Liverpool are paying like 100m for that unhinged Uruguayan, the going rate for one of the most promising <=22 year old forwards out there was never going to be 30-40m really.
