Well its only Real Madrid who could buy him outside the PL and they will probably get that french fella

Was thinking about PL clubs like City and Chelsea tbh, but City have got Haaland. Man U would be another team who might like him, but if we can match the wages in the next couple of years then obviously no player would want to be anywhere else.

Manu just bought their on striker project for 70m. City got Haaland as you say. Pool spent 70/80m on their own striker project. He not going anywhere for some time.

We’re going to lose a great player to a bigger club eventually imo. Obviously this is a great situation and we can match wages, but we can’t realistically offer a league or CL win, and perhaps more importantly, we’re not a club like Real Madrid which a lot of these players will have grown up dreaming of playing for. 
 

The upside to that is if it does happen, it will be for silly money, and I trust those in charge to reinvest the funds wisely.

If this lad is still here in three years’ time it’s because we’ve joined that bracket of club, and we’re elite-level.

In three years we might be the way we are going. I seriously think we'll get into the qualifying stages of the CL this season.

Froggy was just looking at how many he scored that one season.

 

Doubt he ever properly watched him play before.

I know my stuff KaKa. I watch a lot of football. Stats will always be used to argue points. And stats are important. 

 

You say "that one season" though. What about last season when Isak was the best thing since sliced bread but had a worse goal contribution rate per 90 than Anthony Martial? ;)

He's already lost tbh.

I never lose.

Stats are always relative. Especially as he had scored around 20 the season before prior to the change in setup at Sociedad.

 

Anyway ... Just watching him, especially for Sweden, and his combination of physical gifts and skillset, the uncertainty around him was perplexing.

 

Ultimately though, we are going to benefit big time, and so I'm definitely not complaining.
