Aye, it's crazy he only cost just over half an Antony. Absolutely bloody mental. 

 

You're quoting a post from August.  A week before Antony had even signed for us. 

 

1) £58m is not "just over" half of £80m. 

2) Nobody (not you) has been more critical of Antony than me. 

3) Antony has contibuted more to us than Isak has for you so far. 

4) They were both mental fees however you want to dress it up.

 

If you're wanting to dig up old posts, would you like me to dig up your opinions on Eddie Howe?  Because I remember what you said. Worrying, disappointing. Yours truly was in the thread defending Howe saying he's an excellent manager.

 

Let the past be the past @Nobody Isak has just as much to prove as Antony does.

Was giving Burn a masterclass in how to avoid giving sensitive information away in his post match interview.

Stupidly excited to see this lad play. First time in 13 years we can actually say "like a new signing" and it actually be legit.

 

Still have to pinch myself that we've actually signed him. 

 

Still pinching myself.

 

Everytime I read about us being in competition with another club for another player, the pessimism that Ashley conditioned me to have kicks in and I internally accept we'll have to move on but then I remind myself that we've already signed a player of higher calibre in Isak, so why not?

Isak and Antony are being used in the same sentence? Yeh I'm out.

I know fine well what I said about Howe, and I've owned up to it as well. 

There's absolutely nothing mental about the Isak fee though, there never was. I've seen the lad play since he was 16 years old, and he's been absolutely class since he first came on the scene.

He scored 13 goals in 16 games in a shite team in the Dutch league when he was 20 years old btw. If he was sold to the PL now after that spell he would have probably cost about £100m.

Your posts about you wanting us to sign Isak as soon as the takeover was confirmed was one of the things that excited me the most about us getting him.

His link up style is beautiful. Drops deep or wide, spins his man.   
 

He’s not one to battle the CB. He’ll drop off deep or wide. When it works it’s beautiful.   
 

With the touch, turn of pace and gangly legs, he’s an elegant player. 

[Myleftboot]

Modern day striker.

And I've said Antony is shit and overpriced. So why are you pulling up posts from 5 months ago about transfer fees and referencing Antony?

 

Case closed.

Starting to sound Geordie already, can’t knock the lad 

[alexf]

I knew he looked quick but didn't realise he had that level of acceleration. Perhaps maybe the defender was so slow that he appeared quicker but I think on that evidence, he's going to get alot of goals and assists for us ☺️

[Doctor Zaius]

Made the difference last night. Absolutely did their defender for the goal. Brilliant. 

[MrRaspberryJam]

Can't wait to see him fully fit and raring to go.

 

Pope > Botman > Bruno > Isak. Some spine for a good couple of years, that.

[IzzyIsak]

That was brilliant play from Isak.

Great skill then gets his head up and picks Joelinton out instead of just crossing it anywhere

 

He's absolute quality.

Could barely make the team photo 

 

no way he is in the squad for the weekend

Ball to the face, not sure on concussion rules hopefully be ok for Saturday. 

[SteV]

If he went off with concussion he’s not allowed to play on Saturday

10 day rule i think

It was maybe just precautionary.

Will probably depend if we used a ‘concussion’ sub when Lascelles (was it him?) came on for him.

 

If we did then he’ll not be allowed. If we didn’t then he probably would be although it might look a bit shady given the current feeling around head injuries.

[TheHoob]

Are people making up rules again?  or has this completely passed me by?
