Isak scored more in one season then alvarez has in any of his. Isak is a better footballer too no debate on it

Alvarez works hard but no way ahead of Isak. He’s deadly
I'm not sure we should be expecting Devine to stay this season. He's looked good in the friendlies, but he struggled in the Championship last season.
Someone wake me up when this inevitable shit show of a window closes.
Agree he might be loaned but there’s a chance he comes back into the mix year imo - we need a striker more than Eze. Pay up for Gyokeres or Isak then wheel and deal for other positions or promote yoof
Wake me up, when September... begins?
I wouldn't be so pessimistic though chap. We do still have a full month to work on these deals. Obviously, it's happened before, but we have so much fucking money now. Don't think people realize how big our financial advantages are over European clubs at this point. We can definitely afford at least two big attacking signings.
Reckon we’ve taken about £50M / 20% off our wage bill in the last year - Ndom, Kane, Lloris, PEH, Dier, Sanchez. I know we’ve bought players in but almost certainly they are on about half
Fair. I just think he is a serious talent and would elevate our squad but honestly can't see anyone paying 60 up front for him
IF they're REALLY smart... They develop physically like bale and Ronaldo did... But yeah pace can v quickly go..This is true, but pacey forwards who rely on speed and acceleration also tend to peak early and fall off young. I wouldn't expect a 30 year old Johnno to be anywhere near as effective as he was at age 21. What's he going to fall back on his footballing IQ and deft touch?
Be interested to know what makes you think Isak is for sale and, then, for anything less than 150-200m.
Yep.. he's a great player but from what I've seen he needs the options/space to go either way.. and he's certainly got the footwork to be able ... Aka his Cage Football youth. When he's playing wide it sort of looks like restricted. Like he's almost boxed in, and isn't as effective
You actually believe this about Bentancur mate?

IF richarlson leaves, which I don't think is gonna happen, think Gyokeres has a release clause.. that won't be a million miles away from what we get for richi the Saudi's..? and tbh think he'll be a bloody good fit.
Mancity and Bayern reject would be a statement signing?!
Would be a blatant example of Levy buying based on the bargain value rather than the value the player brings to the team
Will you be patient and show the fifth rebuild in just over a decade some respect
Clubs don't usually put their best players up for sale, per se. Ambitious clubs use their gravitas and financial clout to prise the player away against the selling clubs will.
This is how and why the top clubs finish up with the best players.
I think that's bound to happen.
Given the bid for Edwards the 35% is still probably worth 10m +, and nobody's getting anywhere close to 50 or 60 (even though its said the release clause sporting want is 80m) a bid of say 45m or 50m + the 35%| should be very tempting (they only paid 20m for him) plus they also make 100% of the fee on Edwards so they make a lot of money between the 2 transactions.
In the real world Gyokeres is probably only worth 45m and still a risk he won't be able to perform in PL.
