LionOfGosforth Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Fairly sure Arsenal were heavily linked with him for a couple of years. Glad we moved for him when we did. Never thought i'd say a 60m striker could turn out to be a bargain but he might be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing style? i have no doubts in my mind next season bare injury he'll fighting the top 3 top goal scorers in the league he has everything imo He beat Zlatans goal record for a Swedish player in a La Liga season playing for Sociedad without taking penalties when he was 21 years old. Never really got a chance at Dortmund, but scored a ridiculous amount of goals when he went on loan to Holland when he was 19 or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the question that should be asked about any rule/rule change. I think our new dark arts tactic should be for all our players to keep their heads at hip height as soon as they enter the opposing penalty area. Especially for set pieces.

Same amount of goals in this season, despite being injured for half of it, as Martial has in 3 years Second highest goals per minutes in the PL this season as well. Settle down, idiot.

Sima Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Didn’t Martial cost £60m about 8 years ago Would be well over £100m in today’s money. Edited April 9, 2023 by Sima Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settle down, idiot. What has Martial got to do with anything? But if you're going there Martial, who many on here think is shit, has 1 goal or assist every 90 minutes in the PL this season. Isak has 0.88... Discuss. EDIT: idiot. Edited April 9, 2023 by Froggy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing to a striker that cost roughly the same, who you rate. Seems like a fair comparison like. But I guess Martial should be almost twice as expensive thanks to that extra .12 assists per 90 that he's got Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the difference. No need to mock the per 90 stats. You brought them up. And in goal contributions per game your boy is worse than Martial. Worth noting that I said Isak was a good signing, and I think he's a good player. Doesn't change that £60m was expensive.

Isak has been considered one of the most talented young strikers in the game for a while now. How much did you think we should have paid for him? Considering the likes of yourselves are blowing £90 million for Antony and Chelsea are blowing the same on Mudryk, I think we did very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 There were some Newcastle fans saying the fee was expensive so it's not a shock if fans of other clubs had that thought As it happens they were wrong cos it's looking like a bargain so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Manure have got Wout Weghorst regularly playing upfront for them. Wout fucking Weghorst Isak is playing a different game. Edited April 9, 2023 by Dokko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I said he was a good signing. It doesn't mean that £60m wasn't expensive. I wasn't the only one thinking that as well. I couldn't care less if Antony starts banging in 20 a season. What we paid for him was ludicrous and I think what you paid for Isak was a huge fee as well. The whole thing started because we were criticised for spending £60m on Casemiro and I found it hypocritical when you were defending spending £60m on a 1 in 3 La Liga striker, but at the end of the day if it's what the team needs then who cares.

KaKa Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Casemiro's fee was only deemed excessive because of his age. Isak is almost a decade younger! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
