Whitley mag Posted August 4, 2025 Share Posted August 4, 2025 (edited) Šeško isn’t going to get folk out of their seat like Isak. He definitely needs to get in the box more for a main striker. However, technically very good and has good feet for a big man. Think he has the tools to be top drawer but patience will be needed. Ideally we keep Isak and give him a season to adapt.

Fak Posted August 4, 2025 Share Posted August 4, 2025 In isolation it's an exciting signing. But looking at the bigger picture it means we lose one of Europe's best to one of the country's worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long shot but wouldn’t rule it out if we don’t get Wissa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone we get is a step down from Isak but we have the added caveat that we are desperate and will over pay because of it, and the player probably isn't that bothered about joining. Who's saying that he's an Isak replacement? We tried to sign a more expensive Hugo to compliment Isak, not to replace him. Surely that's still the case? It fucking better be. If he is an Isak substitute then we'd still need to buy another striker to replace Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s dead to me, so I’m not that arsed about him going. If we pull this deal off, it’s for a player Nickson has tracked similarly to Isak and is obviously totally sold on as being good enough to replace him. I’ll be buzzing my ample tits off.

Kid Icarus Posted August 4, 2025 Share Posted August 4, 2025 You don't spend £70m on a rotation striker like. He'll 100% replace Isak with Wissa being the Wilson replacement and the more likely player to start for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't, I just cannot stand the thought of him being at Liverpool and being acutely aware of him week after week. Would much rather keep him and block a domestic move, despite what he's done than have to endure that, after the way they've cucked us. It would be like Caroll x10 for me because he's actually world class and so will they be. Edited August 4, 2025 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, but that leaves little money for a CM and CB. In all likelyhood based on the latest reports, signing this guy means that Isak is gone.

Kimbo Posted August 4, 2025 Share Posted August 4, 2025 (edited) It’s possible that an Eddie coached Šeško will be better than a non-Eddie coached Isak. Our greatest strength is Howe’s ability to get the best out of players. Edited August 4, 2025 by Kimbo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted August 4, 2025 Share Posted August 4, 2025 (edited) I'm fully on the 'never to Liverpool' train like, especially since being told it doesn't matter so much if he's sold now or next year, but I never want to see him play for us again. Ideal situation would be to offer him the chance of a loan abroad for a year to allow more teams a chance to bid. Obviously string Liverpool along until deadline day.

I mean this genuinely KI as you're a great member of this forum but you seem to be getting really angry and agitated very easily on here recently in a number of threads. It's been an incredibly frustrating summer but just seems really out of character for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
