There’s an outside chance that this is a good thing. We just open twitter one day this week to see someone like Samu or Ramos is done and dusted and on the way for the medical ala the Tonali deal. But we ain’t that lucky?🙈 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Jackson could replace Isak in terms of support in build up play, rather than being anywhere near the talent or finishing ability. Ramos isn’t going to bring much to the team other than quality finishing. I guess we’re maybe at the point where we’re just looking for the best striker options available even if they don’t fit what our play has been like for the last three years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this moment I’d take that - I’m struggling to see where the goals will come from without a proper striker or 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 (edited) I still don't know why we're bothering, these players are absolutely not it in terms of getting near to replacing Wissa let alone Isak. Who's to say one of the players we missed out on isn't available next summer and sees the error in their ways.

Especially if it means fucking off Liverpool. Hard to not want to see a shiny new striker through the door though when’s there’s so much we can potentially achieve this season.

Get through this season with the 2 then resolve the Isak situation next summer and hope there are better options available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 I might be in the minority here but I would take a punt on Hojland, just feel there's a player there that hasn't been helped playing for that shit show of a club. 22, 30 million. Maybe not most preferred and still want Wissa but with the right support and Howe coaching I think he could be very decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the world record is for how many times a club has tried to sign a player and the player has turned them down I'm thinking Norris McSquirter and Roy Castle will be presenting NUFC with an award if we go in for Pedro again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 Bayern confirmed they are not signing Woltemade this year. He's as close to Isak that I have seen so far in terms of style. At 75M Euro I would think he offers a very good alternative. I don't understand the silence around him/us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
