Hi Ed1 mate,

Any links to the Barcola? I seen you said there wouldn’t really be a way we could get him, to me it doesn’t really make to much sense. Do you think this has legs as I know you previously said it doesn’t.

If so can you see it impacting us getting Isak? Personally would rather us just get Isak this summer and a fofanna type player.


Cheers for your opinions as always.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know of any move for him, it seems unlikely. It would have no impact on Isak.}

Now Nunez seems to be gone, please focus on a CB. I know we probably need a versatile winger too, especially if we let Chiesa go, but one niggle to Konate and it’s endo centre back. I like Endo, he’s not bad, but not how we should start the season.

Ed1, you are 100 % sure we are getting Isak?

{Ed001's Note - you can never be 100% sure, but close to it yes.}

This is not not the clinical finisher Slot is looking for.

He would block Rio's path, according to Pearce.

Eddie Howe must be tearing his hair out.

Cheers as always for the response Ed.

Just my take on the situation i thought i would add if anyone cares haha! Whilst i would happily take Barcola and think you may agree Ed an others, i couldn’t see the club spending close to near 600 million, including another CB which you would expect and maybe Isak if both happened? However point being i still can't see that happening, first time in the clubs history we would have bought 3 + 100 million players.

As i have said before i think Isak makes us good to go then attacking wise this season. Gives young Rio some gametime in cup games etc and Gakpo will start the majority off games on the left, an we all know Salah won't miss a game other than injury/ rest or afcon. Only having Palindrome as our so called “9” atm i think makes us paper thin in that department as no one else we have really can operate there. At least with the wider positions there is flexibility with Rio, Wirtz, Frimpong and even palindrome. So i think Isak personally and we are more than good to go, along with hopefully one CB potentially 2.

I'm not 100% sure I'm completely awesome.

I mean I'm 99% sure Im completely and unequivocally awesome.

But there's always that 1% doubt I'm an absolute idiot.

{Ed001's Note - I have no doubts about you Davey.}
