I love Isak. The only thing that concerns me is his fitness issues. And for that reason I would avoid signing him. But if that wasn't an issue, I could care less about him matching Kai's pressing and defensive stats. He would add so much more that we will forget about the pressing issues. I agree about the price too. I think £50 to £60m striker will be more our speed. Get Gyokeres for 60m if possible with reports that sporting would take around that number.
We have to move Jesus on. He is done here. I was a massive fan but the start of this season has been indefensible. I would keep Trossard because he is cheaper and he produces from the bench.
We need another winger along with the striker. At the moment, I might for a top LW and move Martinelli around (on the right too) as we see fit. After that we need 2 players in midfield and we need to move on Partey and Jorginho. Keep Jorginho if we have to, because he is mostly fit and has no pending legal issues. Plus he is a backup.
If not then a natural 8 and another that can be Rice's understudy at 6. A 30m a piece midfielders. Not Zubimendi level of investment when we badly need forwards.
In defense we need to move on a few players. Zinchenko, Tomiyasu and Kiwior will need to leave. But I would keep Kiwior out of all 3 if I have to because he is available. Zinchenko's need is also minimized by MLS's emergence. I would replace Tomiyasu.
And we need a cheap backup keeper.
Basically 2 forwards less than 120m. 2 CMs less than 60m. And sell and replace defenders with at least one top defender (which should cost less than what we can sell Zini and Tomi for). Sell Jesus, Zinchenko, Tomiyasu (replace), Kiwior (replace). Move on Partey and Jorginho.
So Coote said Liverpool were shit ( on the day) and Klopp was a German cunt for calling him a liar while having a private conversation outside of his official duties.
His Liverpool record is such that he never gave a pen against them, or sent one of their players off.
( I’d take that sort of bias against Arsenal thank you )
His worst infraction, if you listened to Pool fans, was failure as the VAR official to suggest to the match referee Pickford tackle on VVD that resulted in the Dutchman’s ACL was a red and not a yellow.
But they conveniently skip over another red he failed to produce for Fabinho’s horror tackle on Evan Ferguson.
Sure, he’s done as the EPL ref, mainly for this other tape of him doing drugs( allegedly), but where’s the smoking gun of bias and or corruption ?
PGMO has major issues with transparency and accountability but this Coote gate is nothing but a storm in a tea cup for the league as a whole.
Not so hot about Sesko, to be honest. Watched him in couple of EURO and Champions League games.
Same pre-packaged Havertz to be honest: not clinical, not a mentality monster, not an aerial dominator. A workhorse as Pedro stated, with some great goals and some misses.
I am pretty sure to progress further we need someone different from Kai to be able to change tactics mid-game.
1) pool might be right here right now, so Zub has options
2) pgmol is not getting solved until the FA really solve $h*tTy's 115
2A) This- "Lyon handed provisional Ligue 2 relegation and transfer ban", and juve's "yes, juventus was relegated to Serie B for the 2006–07 season, the first time in the club's history".
Only problem in conclusion Pedro is when does "the finish" start? Citeh started it at about this this time last season! We can probably only afford one more defeat between now and season end.
Good post. Can’t accept this Henry slander though. The king had sauce for days, isak is meek, no way near titi’s level. He gives me pure rashford vibes. Not robust, defensively poor and plays in bursts. Wouldn’t go anywhere near him and definitely not for that price

But what happens if we don’t we the PL or Cl this season?
It’s the elephant in the room.
The likes of Saliba and maybe Gabriel , Havertz May agitate for a move to get some silverware.
Win either of those two competitions and
We are a really attractive proposition , otherwise …
Would like to hear Pedro’s opinion on this

Sesko staying at RB Leipzig another season was the right move, sometimes young players take a big move too early.
Have to see how he develops, he’s still only 21.
Hopefully we get a player right in the cusp, and then keep him for his best years.
My concern is that he rarely last much more than 70 minutes, and looks like he still needs to fill out a bit.
But he’s absolutely rapid, and could develop into a real handful.
A few problems here:
1) pool might be right here right now, so Zub has options
2) pgmol is not getting solved until the FA really solve $h*tTy's 115
2A) This- "Lyon handed provisional Ligue 2 relegation and transfer ban", and juve's "yes, juventus was relegated to Serie B for the 2006–07 season, the first time in the club's history".
AFC will not be in for Isaak....
Only problem in conclusion Pedro is when does "the finish" start? Citeh started it at about this this time last season! We can probably only afford one more defeat between now and season end.
So the priority is a #6 again and not a striker? 🙄
Quite embarrassing when Welbeck and Wood have been making more noise than Watkins and Calvert - Lewis the dearth of English centre forwards is dire.
