Shak Posted July 23, 2025 Share Posted July 23, 2025 Wissa would be a bit underwhelming after the Pedro and Ekitike links but had you told us at the start of the summer we would sign Wissa and a big money RW then people would have been very pleased, surely? Having a good CF who can come off the bench for the last 20 minutes of games when Isak runs out of gas will be huge for us. Last season, when Wilson came on the best case scenario was that he would be completely shite. Even when Isak was having a horrible game it was probably better to just leave him on, with Wissa there’s a chance he can positively impact the game replacing Alex. There’s also the option of them playing together for the last half hour of games. Still remember how devastating it was two seasons ago when we would have one of Wilson/Isak start and then the other would come on for the last half hour and Isak would go left and Wilson CF. Was lethal. He’s also comfortable playing wide by all accounts so it’s more versatile depth. Hope we can get it done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Cisse? you can’t expect Wissa to keep his form after 30. 3 years service for 30m. That’s it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallowgatePigeon Posted July 23, 2025 Share Posted July 23, 2025 The Japanese have a high life expectancy, their careers last longer cause they only eat rice and they are well disciplined cause they all have to learn karate, so why are we wasting our time with Europeans and Africans? Let's just get Maeda and Hatate from Celtic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BennyBlanco Posted July 23, 2025 Share Posted July 23, 2025 Just hope we don’t sign Scalvini. Can’t be having him overload on pasta, slurping red wine and fags of an evening and asking to be subbed off at halftime at early kickoffs for his siesta.

Mole Posted July 23, 2025 Share Posted July 23, 2025 The African comment is wild When he initially said it I assumed it was the usual concern around AFCON (which is stupid anyway) But actually arguing a continent of people are more likely to peak earlier rather than just individuals are all different regardless of where they're born.
