    I'm sure the 1-4 twatting by Liverpool was Gullit's first game in charge of us, I could be wrong though.

    On that note I remember a few years ago Michael Owen doing his best to wind us by saying "I have found memmories of SJP having scored a hat trick their for Liverpool". With it being Michael Owen though no Newcastle fans cared, and no Liverpool fans were interested in his attempts to suck up to them.

    He'll be class and will end up in the top 10 scorers of all time. Just need to get some quality around him now.

    Loads of promise and clearly shows he has a lot of ability. Only a lunatic would be writing him off at the moment.

    He probably needs a season. Others have been ****e/useless for far longer, but he's looked very useful at times when playing at least.

    Skill wise he's up to the level, but physically he's not. But only 23.

    At 23 his body should be bullet proof. He seems fragile as hell.

    He needs to put about a stone of muscle on.

    I am concerned he is going to be a fairy flop.

    He runs very well on the ball, he skins people. He's obviously good because he's made impact at international level and la liga.

    Don’t get me wrong there is bags of potential there. But physically is he built for the PL.

    Like I say. He needs to get stronger and get on the pitch.

    He'll be fine, turned up and played while injured as he wanted to come in and make an impact - silly in hindsight but fair play he wanted to get into the team, now it's about getting him 100% fit. I still don't think Callum Wilson is fully fit either but they are wrapping Isak in cotton wool as he is the future and still bedding in with the team and getting use to the league.

    Yep, and it's a shame given the endorsements Isak has had (including Ibrahimovic) and his performances for Sweden and Sociedad.

    It's worse, as it's now £105m spent by the recruitment side for scant return so far. However - and correct me if I'm wrong - aren't you hounding Isak in the same way that fans hounded Joelinton, or Joselu. You know, the same fans you're decrying for not having patience? Yet here you are, repeating ad infinitum, how Isak - with 8 games played - is a waste of money?

    I'm just struggling to get past the incredible amounts of hypocrisy.....

    Media are such **** bags - He isn't ready to play 90 mins - "on a consistent basis". So there is every chance he gets a start tomorrow, could play the whole 90 and drop to the bench for the next game or whatever but it's so sensationalised it's ridiculous!

    Still think him and Maxi will strike up a partnership to fire us to some form of European competition next year.

    Is it the words so far or maybe yet that you're ignoring?

    Newcastle spent 60 million pounds, so far he's done nothing ...so far a waste of 60 million..

    Nufc fans have jumped into bed with isak and are hiding behind what he 'might' or 'could' do .

    So far they're unable to do anything else because he's not done anything.

    People are now after me for telling them their new lover boy has flopped so far.

    If he comes good great until then though I won't lick his arse

    Again, are we using patience (your word) with Isak or not?

    Has he been able to deliver so far, no. So right now is it a waste? Probably, but there's plenty of "wastes of money" around the league who will come good. Is it a reason to keep banging on? Depends if you practice the patience you preach about.

    He hasn't 'flopped' he's been injured and looked good when he has played.

    You're on the wind-up because you're bored. <laugh>
