RUHRLYASLEEVESUP Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Alexander Isak on St James Park:. "There is not many places like St James Park. I think the atmosphere is very, very special. And I think you can judge a stadium not just on the atmosphere, also like, on how difficult it is to come as an away team to play and perform. And I think that's were it gets special. It's a special place, because I think people really have a hard time coming to this stadium. Playing in the Premier League and for a club as Newcastle with a fan base like they have is obviously extra special." There is no where like it I know that!

Even if Isak could for some reason only play a maximum of say 20-25 games a year and it was written into his contract. He would be worth more than that. £35m FFS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Seen shit like Simon Jordan on talksport laughing it up trying to say Isak's not in the same class as Henry and just basically trying to belittle him as much as possible. Why do people do that. He's creating his own path and whilst there are similarities (wears no.14, likes to drift into the left channel at times) Isak is very much his own player and doesn't have cheat code pace like Henry either so is never going to look quite as flashy. But again, Henry has a long legacy in the premier league and if we watch highlight reels etc then he's phenomenal, but I bet if you go back he would have had plenty of games where he wasn't quite firing etc. Same thing for Isak, you watch compilations of his best bits and he looks incredible but he also has had plenty of games where he's quiet or coming back from injury etc. Just find the need to try to downplay what he's doing because you don't think it's quite as impressive as what some regard as the premier leagues greatest ever player. Yeah ok whatever. Edited January 17 by alexf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I mean he might not quite be at the Henry level but the thing that makes him so valuable is he's playing in era where the number of world class strikers must be at an all time low. I'm genuinely not sure if any side could afford him right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pisses Jordan off, which is nice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Thierry Henry is pretty much the PL era's greatest player but played in a way better team. Check out his teammates, listed here by who set him up. Young Cesc is just below the cutoff and played with Henry in that CL final they lost to Barca with the Jens Lehman sending off. By comparison, here's Isak with us. All good lads, but not many of em get in Arsenal's invincibles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Comparing to Henry is crazy. But Isak is the business. The real business and the league should want to promote him. Good looking lad and a proper baller. Haaland is amazing but he's not that enjoyable to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Need to just hand the Almiron money to Isak over the next 3 years. If he continues at his current level, he's woefully underpaid. We need to move on from our mid-tier salaries if we're to hold onto these sort of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The invincibles played quite a few more games - Murphy’s joint goal participation would equal 33 if he’d played as many matches as Bergkamp or Pires; and around 50 if he’d played as many minutes as Pires That’s right - Jacob Murphy is better than Bergkamp or Pires, as proved by science Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
