    So, apparently we've told Mr. Isak that he won't be sold. From the comments made by Mr. Howe it works appear that he won't be integrated back for the significant future.

    So what do we do?

    Do we sign his replacement but to the detriment of what other position?
    Do we risk just signing Wissa?
    Do we sign Wissa and a promising striker? If so where does that leave Osula/Neave and what's the difference between signing a new young striker?

    Think we should bring in Hojlund as a replacement for Wilson, and my stance is that Isak should be sent to PSG somehow, with Kolo Muani coming the other way. Experience yet youth, only one year difference between KM and Isak, and I think Hojlund is worth a punt at £30m.

    Hojlund would be a great signing.
    Think Kolo Muni wants to go back to Juventus though

    Still get Isak to PSG regardless, I don’t subscribe to the notion we’d be weak, I think he’s dead to the club now and it’d be utterly foolish to hang on. If KM isn’t an option, then I’d just get Woltemade in as well as Hojlund. He might go Bayern so I’d look at Openda next. RB might not sell, so next up id be thinking Kevin Schade maybe.

    Ridiculous notion but I’d have a quiet word with Atletico today about Alvarez. Excellent footballer, wouldn’t be a lot cheaper than Isak and likely not interested.

    I don’t know why we wouldn’t get Hojlund to replace Wilson. He just needs time and patience, he’ll get that here and there’s a player there. Lot of experience and available cheap. It’s like Antony, never £70m but as soon as he’s out of OT he thrives. Expect Rashford will be a Balon D’or candidate by 2026.

    Hojlund can (maybe) be a star player but needs to sharpen up.
    Antony would be great in a slower league but in the PL has too many defenders that can negate his speed.
    Rashford is too far up his own arse and is still basking in the revues he got as a youngster, needs to get his head down and work at the job.

    Is Hojland on inflated wages though?

    This is another way the cartel ruin football; they shove players on wages so high that it scuppers everyone else.

    He’s on £85k a week. Not a massive amount. Vlahovic is on €420k a week.

    Malik Thiaw is only on 20 euros a week. No wonder he wants to sign for us.

    I couldn't give a **** about how much the player get paid. I honestly only care about the players abilities.

    It's a disease that's crept into minds and arguments within fanbases because of psr..

    Neither do I but it’s important when working out if a player could come here.
