Watched him for years he was great at AIK, did not get chance a Dortmund, great in Holland and great for Sociedad, Talent was there everybody to see years ago.Showed very little at Sociedad to suggest that he'd be the player he is now, which just goes to show that players can improve drastically over time.
Completely different players and position for that matter. His production is also on a different level to what Jack ever had in Aston Villa.Lots of players look great playing against teams who dont pack their defence, look at Jack at Villa

isak is elite, Grealish was just overhyped english player like ross barkley, rodwell, rice, phillips etcLots of players look great playing against teams who dont pack their defence, look at Jack at Villa
Man are we that fucking insecure that a player who has been playing well for 2.5 weeks is now suddenly a shinier new toy than Haaland? Who happened to be the last new toy shinier than Aguero. Can we not just appreciate the players we have while we have them?

He scored 14 league goals in his last 2 seasons at Villa, he has 12 in his city careerNo it isn’t.
Only played like 100mins more in City than in those two Villa seasons. His xg/xa numbers are also very similar to his Villa days.He scored 14 league goals in his last 2 seasons at Villa, he has 12 in his city career

Treble and 111 goals 126 games says otherwiseWould have been a better fit for us than Haaland.
Terrfic goal scorer but has gone missing when we needed him. Kevin, Aguero etc are big game players so is Isak. Haaland is more in the Sterling mould for big games.Treble and 111 goals 126 games says otherwise

I think we’ve generally turned more cautious since the quadruple. We certainly played faster, more free-flowing football.Terrfic goal scorer but has gone missing when we needed him. Kevin, Aguero etc are big game players so is Isak. Haaland is more in the Sterling mould for big games.
I think we’ve sort of leashed Haaland. We’re not making enough quality chances, the midfield is poor, our wingers don’t score enough and if he gets injured, our next top scorer is our LB with 4. He’s playing cautiously and we don’t break quickly like we used to. If his hamstring goes, it’s season over.
I agree and Haaland would absolutely smash for someone like Real or Red candle dippers. I just think Isak could create his own chances with us in a better way than Haaland.I think we’ve generally turned more cautious since the quadruple. We certainly played faster, more free-flowing football.

Yeah probably mate, but I think with a functioning midfield and more productive wingers, it’d be harder to mark him out the game. He’s still the best striker in the world.I agree and Haaland would absolutely smash for someone like Real or Red candle dippers.

Cost them more to replace him. Newcastle want to become a force selling him won't help.Wonder if newcastle keep him or cash in during the summer window, for sure going to be some 100m bids being thrown around.
Actually had a pretty poor game playing wise by his recent standards.. where he barely has made a mistake and put a foot wrong, a bit sloppy and looked tired, everything goes his way now though and his points production is off the charts. Delivered when it mattered.
