    Not interested in yet another pointless ****ing argument about Isak. You don't rate him, no problem, I don't care.

    I rate Isak highly, and he deserves a run in the team.

    He's scored a few good goals, has shown he has more pace and skill on the ball than Wilson and can be creative.

    Scored against Liverpool
    Scored against Bournemouth
    Scored against Fulham (Winner)
    Created goal against Southampton away (winner)

    I suppose you could say the last two goals was when he came on as a sub.

    But surely you give the record signing a run in the side, especially when playing your number 9 clearly is not working.

    Made of thin air mate... you cannot be serious suggesting he's lived up to that price tag so far?

    He's not really had the chance. But he has shown good quality, and he's only 23 years old.

    I agree but that's the way it is until he lives upto upto it.

    He cost 60 million pounds and so far he has 3 goals.. a pen a header from 1 yard and 1 good goal in a game nufc lost.

    He's been injured most his time here and just hasn't done enough yet .

    Hopefully he'll come good.

    What's wrong with 3 goals in 5 league starts?

    Are we just going to pretend he hasn't played the other games he's came on?

    The fact is he's been here nearly a year and only scored 3 goals.... be cost 60 million pounds.

    Che Adams has more goals.

    Let's hope isak comes good .

    You obviously do care and I'm not saying I don't rate him either.

    It was perfectly OK for you to question Burn and wood every day.

    Im just making it plain .. isak has not YET lived up to his price tag.

    Yes because when you compare goals to games you go off starts, you can't count 25-30 mins as a game.

    Only if you're using mental gymnastics to find a stat to you like the look of mate .

    He cost 60 million pounds... he's not lived up to that sorry.

    I understand people use favouritism alot and get a bit touchy when a player they've jumped into bed with is questioned , but I'm not going to take what I said back.

    I'll repeat it though

    He simply has not lived upto a 60 million price tag yet .... what's wrong with saying that.

    That's why most people look at goals per minutes played.

    He's never really had the chance to get fully going yet tbf because of the injury.

    Goal return has been good, and he's more than that and has some great skills and speed and can make us more dangerous as soon as he comes on. Not worth £60m yet, but not one to write off yet either.

    Hope he comes good needs a run of games for sure

    He is, because that's what we paid for him.

    I wouldn't because anyone who has played the game at any level knows it's far harder to get into a game as sub than it is when you start.

    Starts only for me.

    Howe isn't even playing him, what's he supposed to do?

    He hasn't had a run in the team yet and still has 3 goals in 5 league starts, he has done as well as he can do so far.

    Has he justified his 60 million price tag yet ? Yes or no ?
