Out of the options mentioned, this guy has the most potential to me. Mainly because he's 6ft4". Looks like an injury waiting to happen though

I think that the majority of fans understand that no transfer comes with a guarantee. Granted that one of the adjectives you wouldn't hang on Isak as things stand is prolific. However, there's plenty of examples of players changing environments and their career trajectories along with it.

Does anyone else recollect how smug Mourinho was when implying he'd pulled Everton's pants down in getting £16/18M for Lukaku, who he then had to shell out some £60M for 3/4 years later and subsequently Chelsea laying out almost £100M to eventually bring him back to the Bridge that nobody was crying over at the time. Similarly, although he duly resurrected his career at Roma, find one Scouser who honestly (yes, it is grammatically correct to use honestly and Scouser in the same sentence, it shouldn't be, but it is) foresaw the Chelsea reject becoming one of the absolute deadliest goalscorers in the world. The exact same sentiment could be echoed for KDB, and so as to not appear to just be digging a couple up into the ribs of Chelsea, Mane falls into that category also.

If it is indeed that Isak is now the one that our recruitment team are going all in on then so be it, as the environment we seem to be building at The Emirates looks to be one designed for young talent like his to thrive, flourish and come into full bloom.

Isn't he a runny, through ball scorer type though? We don't play that football under Arteta

Sounds promising and one of Europe's next big talents but I don't think we'll get him. Thierry Henry is one of his favourite player's well.

One of Europe's 'big talents' that doesn't score many goals.
Not really that encouraging when we need a striker who can score goals.
He may have a good Fifa rating, but unless he scores goals he's not what we need.
Only reason to get this guy is as a replacement to Pepe.

^irony at it's finest - from the guy who proclaims over and over again he is ignoring me but can't handle the challenge to his points and resorts to nonsense posts in response. :sneaky2:

Perhaps you can tell us why , when we need a goal scorer, Isak would be the answer - given he doesn't score many goals.
What have you seen in his play that tells you he will be a top scoring threat in the PL?

Again...what are you doing? It's just going to end up in more useless metric talk and point scoring, moving goal posts....don't you get bored of it? I do, hence why you often get ignored.

It would be more refreshing to have conversations with different posters sometimes. You saw thebigbangtheo post and some the comparisons. Jase89 mentioned Salah as well. Along with the below statement which I thought was a good summary.

If it is indeed that Isak is now the one that our recruitment team are going all in on then so be it, as the environment we seem to be building at The Emirates looks to be one designed for young talent like his to thrive, flourish and come into full bloom.


But here you go with the usual nonsense and decide to challenge what I've said. It's getting boring.

I read all the posts and I saw the videos and and all the comparisons that show not much in relation to Isak.

I am asking you to articulate why Isak is the goal scorer we need when he doesn't score goals as far as I can see.
For some reason you seem to take it personally when you are challenged and launch into personal attacks.
That doesn't cut it.

He's better than Eddie and we need 2 strikers.

If he gets us closer to CL then £30m or whatever is well worth it.
