Sell Isak, buy Sinclair Armstrong,  Who ?

Sinclair Armstrong that’s scored 3 goals in 61 games for QPR 🤣

The caller went onto congratulate Pardew on doing an amazing job as Newcastle manager, and said I think you'd love to be in charge now.

 

Jesus fucking christ 

 

They have to be prank calls

There's quite a few fans on social media up for selling Isak and using the money to buy a replacement. It's narrowing down who would be this wonderbar replacement where it starts to get a bit vague.

I think the uncomfortable truth is that we have 3 real top drawer players in Isak, Bruno and Tonali and a manager where his style does not get the best out of them.

 

So we either cash in and build a squad that plays to Howe's strengths or we build an ethos around them (presuming of course that there is a system that gets the best out of all three) and bring in a manger who plays within that style

Mourinho has said he always performs best when he has an African striker up front. 

Benni McCarthy, Drogba, Eto'o. 

Would Isak's Eritrean side count?

What sort of striker would play to Howe's strengths? We keep being linked with Calvert-Lewin, would we really be a better team with him in and Isak out?

Or Osula's Nigerian heritage.

 

Double bubble for Jose, We're going to win the league man!

I've no idea, it may well be the formation rather than the overall style. I'm sure we could still be direct and pressing as the primary focus with a number 10, and wither as the main man or the 10 maybe Isak would thrive.

 

Or maybe the answer is a fit Wilson type player

Isak just looks so isolated in our system.

With the way we play I think we need a striker who is comfortable being very isolated and holding up the ball.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I’m not sure any striker is comfortable being isolated.

The in form Isak of last season has 4 goals in his last 2 games.  Seems to have lost his ruthless, ice man streak.
