Lush Vlad Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The Arsenal thing from Sky/everyone is so odd. What’s it all based on?! Was it not just them enquiring in the summer and being told to fuck off and them needing a striker. Has there been anything concrete since? Seems like Sky are playing the role of an Arsenal fanzine and just pushing some weird narrative of Arsenal wanting him and supposedly they will get him in the summer. Despite nothing actually being reported regarding bids, solid interest etc. It’s absolutely mental and has been brought about by PSR making the January transfer window a bit pointless.

Collage Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I absolutely love Isak, always have really. I’m Swedish and have followed him through his career, really liked him when he broke through and I’ve always thought he’s special. He really is. BUT for me it’s still too early to compare him with our record goal scorer who played for us for almost 20 years. Alex has been here for two minutes in comparison. For me it’s quite obvious and means no disrespect to the man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer had career threatening injuries and still scored 49% of the time when he returned. Expand Shearer is my hero, I watched all his games. Shearer is definitely a better finisher - if given space, and he has better strength and determination re scoring goals. If you want a classical striker, then probably Shearer would be a more prolific choice. But Isak is more than that. I don’t want to bring it up again (fuck the gunners) but Isak is exactly the type of modern striker like Henry. He can destroy opponent on his own, even if the other players couldn’t create chances for him. He can do that himself. He can beat opponents one on one and score with both foot, or he can pick up Gordon/Murphy in critical area. He has too much arsenals in his pocket, it’s close to ridiculous. Higuain at his prime has ridiculous goal scoring rate. Yet we all know Benzema is the better striker (and why CR7 scored so much). Isak still needs time and stats to proof, let’s hope he would be free from injuries and able to extend his prime years till early 30s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry was not the first one, Bergkamp was. This “tradition” in fact brought more bad than good to them. They didn’t really value Giroud due to this. They always want to find another Henry. I do agree Isak would be fucking great for them. He would be fucking great for any team in the world anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just want something to talk about. Cunts. Expand There was a lot of talk that Arsenal were in for him the previous summer before we signed him, and it was all over the media. There was even photos of some car in London with an Isak custom license plate during the rumours he was set to sign. Arsenal fans have therefore decided that he was always theirs and will inevitably end up there, especially because he now wears the number 14 and has some similarities to Henry. It is altogether one of the most extraordinarily embarrassing episodes of desperate fawning over a player in footballing history. Especially because at the time he was being linked, loads of them didn't think he was good enough because 'he wasn't a goal scorer'. Purely based off of one season of stats in a pretty dull Sociedad side that didn't utilise his strengths. He will never end up there. He's done far too well, and if he opts for a new adventure at some point it will be at Real or Barca. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to Arsenal or someone like that isn't a sideways move as such but he's so good that he'll just be looking to step up another level after a couple of seasons there anyway. He'll not just go to a Champions League club, he'll go to a club realistically aiming to win the Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
