Really, this is the best possible signing in the situation we're in - someone who can play in any of the advanced positions. And we've swooped for a real talent after he's had an iffy season, and a lot of big clubs have switched their attention elsewhere.

 

There seems to be a bit of an obsession about how many goals he's scored. In modern football, you can't judge strikers just on that stat. In the team context, some strikers are used to create chances for others, rather than hang around like an old style centre forward, waiting to convert chances.

Not unless he’s had a mentality shift

 

He's got 5 years more life/playing experience now.

Someone who scores 25 goals a season isn't going to be regarded as a problem. Of course you can judge strikers on goals, you shouldn't limit it just to that metric though, obviously.

Merson is chatting shit about us again in relation to this. I won't bother with his quotes as we all know he's not worth anyones time. We still live rent free in his head.

I wouldn’t worry, he probably had what’s left of his life savings bet on him going to Man U.

Knowing his little Englander mentality he'll be saying we should have signed Ivan Toney.

Merson basically says it's worrying because he hasn't seen Barca or Real in for him so he can't be that good. [emoji38]

 

Firstly, both have been linked with him.

 

Secondly, if they were in for him, we wouldn't have signed him

 

Thirdly, does that mean good players only play for them two sides?

 

Fourthly, fuck off ya little skip rat.

Can we watch his press conference live? If so, where?

Don't think so but only takes them an hour to put it online.

 

Wonder if Isak is getting some training in today.

When would he have to be registered by to be in contention for a squad place Sunday?

12 today apparently but I suspect its all done anyway, so it should be fine.

 

Just waiting on the announcement.

Didn't see Real or Barca in for Jesus but he is the exact profile they may sign.

Fifth- Arsenal fans were going crazy with happiness when they thought they were signing him in January…
