They can and they will. It's all on Isak there, they got away with it last season, but an injury to him and they are nowhere near the top six. They have the Saudi Royals, and they'll spend them
Bang on. Their midfield is everything to them. And their defence is pretty ordinary actually, but that three really takes the pressure of them.
Saudis hold the cards. He has three years left, though if he gets wind of a top club wanting him, he might get a cob on.
He's a cracking player. But it might be a bit like a lot of Ipswich's signings this time last year. Some of the best in the Championship, handy to get you back up...
If we'd went up in that first summer, Donald and his mate would have been gone by the start of the next season, as per the plan. All flipped and gone.
I don't see how this makes sense, one of these scenarios holds true: They keep and play both or rotate; they use the vast majority of their budget on an area that didn't necessarily need strengthening. Could see them struggle with all the games and lack of depths in CM/CB etc They sell Isak and he's the replacement; Isak goes for 120m and they buy a CB but they've sold the best striker in the league
Aye, people talk about the 6-0 to Bolton being a blessing. But that 90+4 Bauer goal from Charlton was also a blessing
They definitely needed strengthening up front, they want to go deep in the champions league this year and to do that they will need an alternative to isak in case of injury - they view that alternative as important and are willing to spend top dollar. Also lets them rest Isak in league and cup games too and gives the opportunity to play a 2 striker formation. They will sign more than just ekitike.
