    We'll have been shafted if he plays.

    The key difference for me is:

    Ekitike Apps:

    Club - 52 (19 goals)

    France U17 - 0
    France U19 - 0
    France U21 - 0

    Isak Apps:

    Club - 152 (59 goals)

    Sweden U17 - 19 (6 goals)
    Sweden U19 - 6 (2 goals)
    Sweden U21 - 7
    Sweden - 37 (9 goals)

    For some reason, Chaos is saying they're the same player, but Ekitike is somehow better because he's had a better second half of last season. Nobody in the French national set up has ever thought Ekitike was worth a punt.

    I still think we will loan Broja.

    And I think Isak is too expensive.

    Andy Carrol got caps for England means nothing

    Who's scores more goals per game? Ekitike.

    What im saying is there's similarities in the way they play so I can believe the story. Whether it happens who knows.

    Where did I say he was better? Feel free to provide a screenshot.

    I think Roland is probably a little too keen to find revenge because he was completely wrong about no other clubs being interested in Ekitike

    I've moved on because I knew I'd get no acknowledgement, so instead I have to wait for the next attack.

    All I'm saying is he looks a similar player from the videos available, his age is similar, his stats are poor for 2 of his 3 seasons, great for 1 and scores less ratio wise than Ekitike... I've therefore concluded the story and link is genuine.

    That doesn't mean I'm declaring one is better than the other. I'm just stating an opinion and adding some facts to the debate.

    The French league is more similar though Bruno was scored plenty and he didn't in France, but you never know which players will cut the mustard in the premier league, but like I said about Ekitike the scouts know better than the youtube scouts.

    I'd be happy with Isak why wouldn't I be? We've got Murphy still hanging around. I was happy with the idea of Ekitike others just won't ever be happy.

    At least he's played three seasons.

    Anyway, I'm both surprised and wrong - and you appear to be right in terms of waiting on a 'better' club - if he (Ekitike) signs for PSG. Happy to admit it. I feel we dodged a bullet (time will tell) and Isak is the better player (time will tell).

    We all get things wrong mate and respect Roland I agree the future will tell us whether you're right and it's a bullet dodged.

    We shouldn't care now anyway let's hope Isak comes off or whoever.

    I get the feeling we'll get at least one more marquee signing this summer

    Similar to Guimaraes, £30m up front with various structured payments taking it to £50m.
