Alexander Isak

[BJJ]

I was very sceptical when Isak was at Sociedad, but he's improved a lot. The technique was always there, but his finishing, decision making, and physique have improved dramatically.
If he had come here when he was younger, he'd have a few opportunities, and he'd be shipped off on loan if he didn't click.
Knowing which players to keep and which to ship off is a skill this club has never excelled in.

He wasn't Barca ready at Society to be fair. Showed some extraordinary spurts mind you.

This club would have eaten him had we signed him at the point Newcastle did.

This may very well be another one of his purple patches. Its 12 in 12, but 1 in 8 previously (including toegate) just for perspective.

But seems he finally is consistently putting it together.

Let's see end of season where he could go cold or get one of his longish injuries.

For the price they wanted it would have been a tough sell to the fans.
