oldtype Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 He’s just good at everything. Fast, strong, smart, clinical finisher, good technique. The Swedish Haaland. I’m only half joking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke is pure class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted a lot of them also had Longstaff over Tonali in their lineups too so obviously wronguns. Nah that was people predicting Eddie would ease Tonali in as he did with Bruno and Botman.

But this lad is conservatively worth twice what we paid and is up there with Osimhen, even though they're not quite the same type of striker. I said recently that if he stays fit this season he will show that he is utransferable, because it would take impossible money. Which striker has his mix of height, speed, strength, balance, dribbling, technique, finishing and ice cool composure? Just needs a full season and the numbers that come with that. Our recruitment has been bonkers and shows no signs of slowing down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 What an incredible start to his season, he looked almost Haaland-esque in a lot of his plays today, they were terrified of him,. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe the talent and ability he has, huge asset this season and with a proper pre-season and no lingering injuries, his potential is frightening.

Guilty as charged, extremely glad Eddie knew way more than I ever could - not being on the training pitch day in day out. Genuinely thought the game against Villa in yankland showed how far he might be away from adjusting. Glad I was utterly wrong. That was his debut! How good is he going to get? Hope Bruno doesn't get his nose out of joint Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 He reminds me of that Swedish Striker Alex Isak who scored hundreds of goals for Newcastle. By the way, I should introduce myself, I'm STM from the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Assumed his second goal was deflected given the shoddy angle I had, fucking hell what a finish. Looks like he’s gained a yard of pace too. He was unplayable today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm forever grateful they all dropped the ball man. You just had to watch how slow a tempo Sociedad played to see why he wasn't more explosive there. They just didn't get the ball forward to players in space like that. Everytime you'd see him for Sweden in a more direct team, he looked an absolute terror. Just a perfect fit for a more open fast paced league and style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's scoring goals like that, every top club in the world will be after him. It's not like it was a fluke, we saw similar outrageous stuff last season as well. I can't even imagine the thought of losing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought we are one of the best teams in the world, but then I also thought what if some team offers him 300k/week? That's not to say we would sell, or that he would want to leave, but it's naive to think there won't be teams watching thinking they'd like a bit of that. He's world class.

Menace Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Ashley era still hasn't worn off on some people and it's understandable. People forget we are the richest club in the world and will only get better and better. The days of selling our best assets and signing jack colback are gone.

BonesJones Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Irreplaceable. We couldn't buy another striker with his quality, to have him at this stage is a cheat code for us. In my time supporting the cloob, I've not seen a player at this level. I'm in awe tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I'm going to go ahead and call it. If he stays fit and plays here for another three years, he'll come to be known as the best player NUFC has ever had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
