I'll be honest and admit I knew little about him before we signed him... but if youd told me at the start of the summer that wed sell Isak for a British record fee but wed replace him with someone of this level, id have probably accepted it.

 

Hes not going to score Isak numbers (maybe he will) but hes gonna take us on a lovely footballing journey that Isak couldn't and we might become a better all around side.

His teammates seemed to be enjoying his performance as much as the rest of us.

 

They've all really started firing the ball into his feet now, almost as if to see what clever manipulation and distribution he could come up with next.

 

So much fun to watch and it's still only early days. Much more to come still!

I can't blame them, they know if they give him the ball there's a huge likelihood they're going to get it back.

 

That sort of player must be a dream to play with.

What happens when Wissa comes back?

 

He begins his time fit for us as an option off the bench that can hopefully make his make late in games.

(re: Wolf) Yes, but does people really know? I've never been on the Wissa train and saw him as a player costing far too much given his advancing age and career average output. Tons more sensible and "less likely to cause a stir if not auto-starting" players to have chosen from for us out there.

 It's a headache.

 

Is it, though? Really?  Wissa is 29 going on 30 and has only had one  decent season in a top league. Wolfemande is 23 and already firing on all cylinders even getting used to a new league and new club. You answer your own question yourself at the end of it, in all honesty:

Yes, absolutely.

 

It's really going to get special the more the understanding and connections develop.

I really think he was enjoying the space our setup afforded him to drop into and operate in.

 

Stark contrast to those showings of his we saw for Germany in the last international break.

 

Nagelsman should be taking notes.

Seeing enough already to suggest he’ll offer more to the team than Isak while providing goals. He’s going to be amazing , this could turn out to be an incredible deal.

Really enjoy watching him play. Obviously sometimes, by the sheer number of defenders on his back, he'll lose it - but it's wonderful to watch a player and know that, when he gets it, he's gonna control it and do something positive.

His best display for us yet. Not an easy game to hold the ball as we could see with many other players struggling, but he could have done a lot more damage if everyone else had been on that wavelength in the first half.
