Give Eddie and the kid a chance He's 25. And no it wasn't. Isak was played out wide in a low scoring team and was always highly rated hence him playing for Dortmund and Sociedad. Isak is player who's always been regarded as having a high ceiling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyman Posted August 27, 2025 Share Posted August 27, 2025 Can't wait for Wolves to tell us to return to the table with £65m when we present our £60m offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again reflected in the fee wolves paid. But I'll just drop it here, if people are ok with 60m for him that's cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT24 Posted August 27, 2025 Share Posted August 27, 2025 £60m is fine by me because it’s not my money. Bring him home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted August 27, 2025 Share Posted August 27, 2025 60m is what 40m was 5 years ago. If he does well with us, which I'm sure he will, no one will ever mention his price tag again. People also need to get it out their heads that he is just a back up striker. Even if he ends up being the 2nd best striker at the club, he will still get significant game time and will likely feature in every fixture he's available for. We can't afford to have a yawning chasm of quality between our two strikers like Isak and Wilson last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 27, 2025 Share Posted August 27, 2025 (edited) £60m flop written all over this one. Hope I'm wrong. At this point though, we've got no choice in the matter. The club have fucked the window so badly that they've got no choice but to panic buy. Edited August 27, 2025 by Dokko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted August 27, 2025 Share Posted August 27, 2025 There's a reason Villa challenged the PSR cap of circa £130 million in allowable loses. The market continues to inflate at a ridiculous rate. £130 million gets you no where these days. Clubs who are "PSR rich" are allowed to dominste the market, while clubs who are cash rich but PSR poor have to account for every penny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 27, 2025 Share Posted August 27, 2025 Hes a very good player, under Eddie he might reach 20 goals a season. Again, he will have sell on value. In 4 years time, when hes 29, I could easily see a scenario where we get 30m for him. Have a look at Wissa or Wood. Its not a financially great deal, but its a fantastic footballing deal, given the place we are at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
