Wissa is currently the Wilson replacement, given we still have Isak.

 

If Isak leaves and we sign Wissa and another, they become the replacements for Isak and Wilson. Why are people making so much of this?

 

I think a lot are (rightly) concerned about Isak leaving without being replaced in squad terms that they're finding it difficult to accept that Wissa replaces his goals, now.

We needed a Wilson replacement two years ago. Isak needs to come off at the 60 minute mark anyway so whoever the "2nd striker" is will get loads of minutes.

 

That would basically mean that Wissa would be going from 2,929 mins last season to about 1000 mins. Which is about 11 full games.

 

Who do you think Newcastle can sign to replace Isak if he leaves?

How do you arrive at 1000 mins?

He's playing 90 mins a game at Brentford.

 

If he's joining Newcastle to play on average 30 mins if Isak is gassed by 60 mins most games, then he's going from 2,929 mins to about 1000 mins.

Have you been paying attention in the last few weeks? [emoji38]

Isak isnt going to play for us again i doubt, I cant see a scenario where he isn't fucking despised by crowd and teammates alike

I haven't actually seen any viable replacements for Isak given our top targets have all gone elsewhere.

We definitely need at least one striker in. 

 

Worried a bit by reports that he's done an 'Isak' though, in forcing a move from Brentford? ??? 

He is nearly 29 years old and it might be his last chance of getting CL. Can have a little more understanding of why he reacted that way when they also promised him that he could leave this summer. 

But probably just me looking at it through through our perspective:)

1000? We could play 55 games. That's 1650 if he "only" plays 30 minutes. Anyway, the likelihood is whoever comes in will play more.

Referring to The PL only,

 

Yeah but if he stays at Brentford he doesn't play in the CL. He'll know the Isak situation, he'll know that if we can work things out he'll be competing with him for a place. I don't think he'll be too worried about playing less minutes for us than he does for Brentford.

Some of you seem hopeful that Wissa is going to be Isak's backup. :pardsbeard:

You still didn't answer my question. Who is the other ST?

Any other theory is nonsense. 

he's the Isak replacement in the short to medium term (even beyond of a sale happening, I don't expect Isak to appear in the first 5 games or so)

We need to stop with this one in one out thinking though, we need enough players of proven quality to compete for first team then a bunch of young talents who may become the next isak (quality wise not attitude) in the background too. If we sell isak next season it'll cost the same for a like for like and we're no better

Brentfords replacement for Wissa is a bit shit. However thats their problem 

 

Not really, they set the asking price themselves. If they can't get a good replacement then the price might be higher.

We’ve got a minimum of 48 games this season, hopefully end up being mid 50’s.

 

Injuries permitting, I’d suggest he’ll be a lot closer to 2000, even as a clear ‘No.2’
