I have my doubts. It doesn’t matter if he is world class if we can’t get him on the pitch. Maybe he wasn’t a Howe choice?
No idea why Joselu's in this conversation. You said the bare minimum for a player was fitness, implying Isak's to blame for not being fit enough.
For example we could have gone and signed say a Tielemans for 30-50m and he would have gone straight in the team. I do think we have wasted 100m on Isak and Gordon at a time when we needed consistent proven players.
Joselu has a better scoring record in la liga and he wasn't good enough for nufc fans. You've fallen in love with a player that's so far been a complete waste of money. Why not wait until a player has actually demonstrated something before going after Wilson who has?
I liked the guy. Like Sibs but more quality. Hampered because he arrived with a £5m price from Stoke. If he'd been £25m from Valencia, the fans would've gone easier on him. Was the first Toon player my son saw score (2-1 defeat to Chelsea at SJP). Superb header.
As for Gordon that's brilliant signing who has demonstrated he can play in this league and isn't always injured or unavailable. Gordon was actually very efficient vs city Vs rubbish Citeh
Meanwhile re Isak. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...play-90mins-according-manager-Eddie-Howe.html
Now they'll blame the media. Now howe is wrong , I was wrong and the presss are wrong. Nufc fans will make excuses for him that they won't for players they don't like. The guys a dud so far.... I stress so far
So this is the actual quote you want out of that horseshit article: "Is he 100% ready to play 90 minutes on a consistent basis?' Howe wondered aloud. 'Probably not. But he will get there. We will build him to that level.' FFS, yeah crisis central...
