Yeah, and there's the international break coming up too so why the rush if we weren't making it in time anyway. Might have though, who knows 😅

[High Five o]

I guess everything was done in time, and we wait until tomorrow to announce and straight to the bench to have a impact.

 

If not it would probably been announced already.

[Peppe]

Yeah, sounds reasonable. Looking forward to seeing what he can do

I'd imagine the registration involves external parties too, so in all likelihood the club will have rushed it through and did their part, it's whether those external parties did theirs in time.

If he's not been registered in time Andy Howe wants shot with shit.

If he wasn’t registered in time could we try to disguise him as Joe Willock?

I'm guessing you obviously can't register him before he has signed, and not sign him until after the medical. How long does a medical take? Wonder how likely it is that they have completed it before 12 today? 🤔

 

 

 

Surely they would have had everything ready to go and paperwork all set up for filing right after the medical?

Unlike Isak's input into the team PR stuff, like the quizes, the fan interviews, the media stuff, hopefully Woltemade will buy into the club, his teammates, the community, like our Bruno has. I always thought Isak seemed a bit aloof or less invested than the others when he took part, probably explains a lot tbh.

To be fair, I would understand if the club has been well and truly spooked this summer. Imagine there were times they were confident on Pedro, Ekitike, Trafford, and Sesko only for other teams to enter the bidding.

He never really showed any sincere signs of giving a fuck about us, tbh. The interview he did with Shearer makes for seriously cringeworthy viewing now.

And haul him off with a leg missing after 2 minutes.  Otherwise they'd know

Watching that Eddie interview, and trying to read between the lines, watch the body language etc and I think he both wants Isak gone and expects him to go.

I picked up on this too. Weeks ago when asked similar stuff you could sense a hope in resolving things and tried to look more “upbeat” about it all. Today it looked more a “I don’t give a fuck about him anymore” vibe.

Personally believe he's asked PIF to fuck him off as he's a toxic lanky cunt.

Wouldn't be shocked if we ever see Shearer do another interview like that again. Just sets things up for something like this to happen further down the line.

Probably getting him in the country before Bayern or one of the cartel try hijack it 

[Stottie]

Doesn't look like anyone has linked it, so here is Opta on Woltemade. Sounds like we've got ourselves a diamond here. They've also called it the all-important

"statement signing".

His 0.25 expected goals (xG) assisted per 90 was the same as the widely lauded Florian Wirtz

 

.... (the next bit showing Opta are a league above other media)

 

From a neutral’s perspective, the hope is we get to see Woltemade linking up with Alexander Isak, because what a prospect that could be.

 

But even if the Germany international ultimately proves to be Isak’s replacement, Woltemade’s arrival should be considered an exciting coup.

9pm is our last hope

[Willow]

They usually announce these things at like 11pm right?

Perhaps a late Bayern intervention? 

[andycap]

He's probably bumped into oz at the strawberry and browed him. 😂 New head injury one bystander reckons it was all very civil until Oz said and donkey shite to you to pal.
