    They need to operate on Isak and just write him off this year. Stops the attention of bigger clubs, gives him a long time to sort it out. With Barnes coming back, Gordon looks a player up top anyway.

    I've sussed out the real reason why we have so many 'injuries'.

    While we are restricted by FFP in terms of transfers, the owners are secretly using their billions on super advanced medical technology to make the current squad bionic.

    We will have a team of super-charged, faster, stronger, more durable, more intelligent players. And the costs are not directly related to FFP.

    You saw it here first folks!

    Isak is the player to sell if you're selling one of botman Bruno or him. He's unreliable.

    It doesn't matter how good a player is if they're unreliable. Get rid! solves this FFP problem because some idiot will pay 100 million.

    Great when fit but made of glass.

    Injury prone players are a waste of time.... no wonder the big clubs avoided him.

    Yeah, a goal every other game is just pathetic. Why didn’t we get Haaland instead or Osminhen….oh, that’s right they wouldn’t sign for us at the time.

    He doesn't play enough that's the part you're struggling with. No doubt in his ability as previously said.

    He’s Wilson mk2.

    Why are these guys made of glass.

    They’ve been upgraded from air to glass. Is this part of the Saudi biometrics program?

    The part you’re struggling with is that a striker that stays fit that would have joined us would have been the next level down.

    Similar to Ben Arfa at the time. He was absolute class but if he didn’t have attitude issues we wouldn’t have got him. If we had looked for someone else but they would have been next level down skill wise.

    Do you go for 8 out of 10’s for 50% of games with then out for the other 50% of games but hoping you can keep him fit for 80% instead of 50% of games. Or do you go for 7 out of 10 for 85% of the games.

    For me, I would always go for quality and Isak is that rather than go for the next level down.

    Which is why we need another striker. Having said that there isn’t that many teams who can boast 3 top strikers.

    We have Wilson and Isak who are 75% available players at best.

    So 1.5. We need another.

    Cant believe we don’t have any youth players coming through.

    That's all well and good, but even when Chippy starts the night looking for a perfect 10/10, he then has a couple of pints and wakes up with a 2/10 minger about 90% of the time.
