Crazy fee, well done Newcastle, can only hope he flops which would be the icing on the cake. Always a possibility when a big fish moves out of a smaller pond and there is also his injury record.
Crazy fee for Isak. Notably he only had one more goal involvement than Mbeumo last season.
Mbeumo is a very good player but you think he's same level as Isak?
Grim. Liverpool look likely to break our record.
Odd that you took what he said to mean that.
He’s got the talent, but he does have some question marks around fitness.
Having no pre-season is not going to help him.
Odd that you're a newbie from 2013 but you came back to say that. You OK mate?
He's very close to that level I think. Isak is certainly nowhere close to being twice the player Mbeumo is, as their pricetags would suggest.
eh? I drop in and out, football not that major for me, but Liverpool my team, most family is Utd, I enjoy the general chat on here compared to most forums, not sure what your point is?
I'm also really good thanks.
What part of Wexford are you from dude?
Last season you could make the case Isak was only below Haaland in terms of best strikers in the league.
Mbeumo imo is only behind Salah and Saka in terms of right sided attackers in the league.
So yes, they are are at the same level. Mbuemo offers more overall in terms of build up and link up play than Isak but due to scarcity of position you paid a massive premium for a very good striker.
Whatever makes you justify them spending 650m this window I guess.
There is no credible source saying they received/will receive insurance money for Jota, they actually spent money giving his remaining contract value to his family (estimated 20m).
He is ok. Not winding people up.Just curios as I see you support Liverpool.How come you spent 11 years and 23.711 posts on a rivals forum? From where comes this motivation?
Deluded when Liverpool is in question (
) but aren't they all? It wasn’t a criticism about net spend though. He was just a hypocrite, happy to spend the money as soon as it was available to him.
It would be funny to see that lot not winning anything this season after spending half a billion dollars!
But.
But.
I think he can have as much of an impact to our overall game for definite, Mbeumo can go on to become a very special player I think.
Why do I need to justify it? They'll try to do it in the pitch by winning. Just don't think it's a big deal and people are being jealous. Barely spent anything last season. Net spend over 2 seasons is not worse than ours.
Every player in the PL is insured. There was a big case regarding Sala because the insurance company was arguing that everything hadn't gone through when he died. The amount was settled but Cardiff was asking for more than the transfer fee as per their insurance. You can then imagine that Jota's insurance was quite high.
People tripping over his teeth at hotel receptions across Europe.
Just strange how that was the statement to bring you back in on your high horse.
Mbeumo is one of the leagues most effective forwards playing for Brentford.
Isak was playing for a better Newcastle side.
High ho Salah, Away!
I think he's in the US given the number of fecking afverts I've seen!
I really don’t miss the awful cnut
that made me laugh more than it should.Even Paddy Power are taking the p!ss out of Luke Edwards.
So has it now been shown, he got the fee wrong as well, as widely reported as £125m.

didn't mean to come across like that, I really like Mbuemo and think he'll do very well for ye, as I do with Cunha, two very good signings, I do feel Isak may be just a level above, but that's just opinion, and as you say, Isak was playing for a better side, and goal scorers always have a premium to be fair.
I do think ye are on the right path bringing in the Mbuemo and Cunha though, bit easier in the short run to coach better defending than coaching goal scoring.
I think his point was more that some clubs can just decide to spend freely as much as they want, Chelsea and City at that time, and still to an extent. As many Utd fans will point out, you spend what comes in, commercially etc, Liverpool have been doing similar, even with Isak and maybe Guehi, still not close to PSR limits.
And as usual, Luke Edwards is the biggest clown in football journalism. Which is a MASSIVE achievement, when you think about it.
They need Geuhi more than Isak.
If Liverpool don’t win the league by 20 points we can still think of them as woeful underachievers, if not outright disappointments.
For sure. It's as you were circa 1992.
No worries, I was being a bit of a dick TBH.
I think Isak will be good for you, but I suspect because of his injury record that Ekitike will become the fan favourite and the long term striker.
Has this been confirmed, because the thread title says he is?
No, he was quite literally just passing comment on very expensive signings. He then became a hypocrite when you broke the record fees for a defender and goalkeeper respectively.
Wild take.
Not by the club but every reputable journo has said it’s a done deal and he’s passed his medical.
Done
