What’s everyone’s views on Isak and Ekitike?
Do Newcastle genuinely want Ekitike to play alongside Isak? Or is he being signed to replace him?

Or… are Newcastle playing a blinder, making it look like they’re going for Ekitike to lure Liverpool into bidding, letting them keep Isak.

Would love to hear what people think, smart move or smoke and mirrors?

Personally, I’d prefer Ekitike. I think Isak’s heading down the same path as Daniel Sturridge, a brilliant striker, but constantly sidelined. Once a player is injury-prone, they rarely shake it off for good. Spending over £100m on that kind of risk just doesn’t make sense to me.

I've made this point on the rumours page mate.

Personally, I find it difficult to believe he's being targeted to play "with" Isak. It would mean changing the way they currently play which can be pretty good (as we've found out a few times)

I would 100% have Isak over Ekitike purely for the simple reason is that he's a deadly finisher and prem proven. If we can keep him fit for even 70% of the season we'll benefit from how consistent he is in front of goal.

We'll see what happens and I personally don't see him coming until/ unless Newcastle get their own centre forward.

100% to replace Isak.

I am with you, Faith. He's the Isak replacement.

Here's hoping that it is to replace him but we'll have to wait and see.

That being said guys, do you believe we’ve already been told how much Isak is available for by Newcastle and agreed terms with the player? Whom some believe wants to join Liverpool, Isak being the best striker out there currently in my opinion…. with ekitike looking like the best alternative.
