Alternatively pick someone younger. Who can develop. Options exist. Ive double checked and there is only 2 players who meets your criteria from the top 5 leagues Benjamin Šeško (22) 21 Goals - Leipzeg Nick Woltemade (23) 17 Goals – Stuttgart Next best was Emanuel Emegha (22) 14 Goals – Strasbourg Mika Biereth (22) 13 Goals - Monaco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just about PL experience, otherwise we wouldn't have been chasing Ekitike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve shrewdly bought a blend of PL proven players and gems from other leagues And it’s worked, we’ve built a squad that’s much greater than the sum of its parts, won a cup, CL twice in 3 years I’d say our transfer policy is excellent, given the financial restrictions imposed on us This “Howe only wants to buy PL” is a lazy cliche And base any assumptions on what we’ve actually done, not what journos are claiming we’re trying to do, because what journos spread about transfer activity is mostly lies Edited July 24, 2025 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's alreet to different on this one personally mind. As I said to Rich, let's wait and see what the Fee is and the contract length then we can draw more conclusions. After all 25m on a 5 year deal isn't too bad (unless the wage is mad) 45m on a 3 year deal would obviously be insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side, he scored the same amount of non-penalty goals (19) as Isak last season. I think 40m is a no brainer.

I'm not really seeing it as the Isak replacement. More so, I can see the Gaffa really insisting on PL experience rather than two imports. (Manchester United is the case study).

sushimonster85 Posted July 24, 2025 Share Posted July 24, 2025 Obviously his overall game isn't as strong as Isak, but he had the same number of non-pen goals as Isak last season. If we're losing Isak we could do a lot worse than go into the season with Wissa as number 9. We'd need another as a rotation option though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
