    I mean if you're a manager and you've got a player worth 60 million he should be standing out head and shoulders above the rest of our fwds in training?

    So ?

    He has scored goals.

    How, in your words, has he ‘been a COMPLETE waste of money’?

    Actually the words were a complete waste of money so far.

    You've not picked it on that and got everything completely wrong because of that.

    I know you've jumped into bed with him like many others and that's fine, but it's making you react to anything you don't like hearing about your new lover.

    Other way round. He’s supporting Lineker.

    ;)

    Except those were your words. Also he has scored goals ‘so far’ so the point still applies.

    The final paragraph, do try to grow up. It kills your wumming attempts.

    Exactly my words included so far.

    Again it's not my fault you don't like what I'm saying and instantly dismiss it as insincere.

    You're arguing from an emotional standpoint I'm actually being serious ... I think Isak has so far been a complete waste of money.

    I've also on several occasions said I hope he comes good.

    You may but I don’t. I have confidence that he will come good based on what I’ve seen.

    No emotional standpoint at all. Just facts.

    Like I say you didn't afford Joelinton that based on what you'd seen . You along with others took the piss out of him.

    I'm not mocking isak or writing him off.

    That's a fact.

    Now why not just accept my actual position?

    I’m not saying you can’t have your position. It’s all opinion and that’s yours.

    Likewise you should be able to accept my position.

    please take note that I never labelled yours as insincere it was actually you dismissing mine.

    So now we've got over this little hump perhaps you could explain what isak has done so far to justify his 60 million pound fee?

    That's the question not what might or could in the future....what has he done?

    That's just nonsense, he's been ****e for 3 months in between his rests, if Pope was having howlers every week he'd be dropped pretty quickly, same thing just different ends of the pitch, if a player is not on form he needs dropping and hopefully work his way back into the team, nobody is getting the pitchforks out, he's just not very good.

    He has scored a goal every 155 minutes. Its 3 goals in 8 appearances.
    This despite coming back from a serious injury which has blighted his season and unable to get into the starting 11 due to favouritism.
    That favouritism to be fair has been historically earned between Howe and Wilson when he has been fit, until now.

    He averages 2 shots a game, meaning he scores 1 in 5 shots give or take.

    He has a passing % rate of 74% with an average of creating 1 key chance per game.

    Just need to get him fit and on the pitch to be fair to the lad.

    Wilson will demonstrate things nicely with goals and then we'll hear a different tune as usual.

    Gordon and Wilson are going to link up nicely I feel.

    Isak will get a run out but until he's fit he doesn't deserve to start.

    I hope your correct, because quite frankly Wilson has been about as good at football against every opposition, as Apollo Creed was at boxing Ivan Drago.

    Callum Wilson has been about as good at finishing recently as Daniel San was at Karate before he got tutoring off Hung.
