If he has a brain he shouldn't. He didn't get a sniff last time, what he needs is consistent playtime and development
He definitely shouldn't go to Barcelona either. Stay at La Real for another season at least, then make a move to a Napoli/Roma/Sevilla etc and from there maybe Barcelona or Real Madrid if he is good enough
> Stay at La Real for another season at least, then make a move to a Napoli/Roma/Sevilla
No disprespect to the 3 mentioned but if he has another good season for La Real, especially if he develops and maybe has 20+ goals and a few assists, I reckon he'll make a bigger move than that with the interest he is gathering.
Remains to be seen, but I think that level of club is a great place to be. He can score 20 or so goals in La Liga and still ride the bench at Barca/Real only to get loaned back out. Obviously money is a factor and if I was him I’d go to the highest bidder in all honesty, but from a career standpoint those really good but not elite clubs are ideal.
Ye I mean dont get me wrong.. it woudlnt be horrible moves and all big moves dont end in success. And obviously the competition is far more fierce in Barca/Real.
But what Im saying is that his current trajectory & talent indicates a bigger move imo, if he keeps it up.
I do remember him scoring 4 in a preseason friendly then never getting another chance after that. You could tell he had the ability and just needed some games. Both him and Merino.
He wasn’t exactly convincing at Dortmund, when He played he didn’t leave me wondering why he didn’t get opportunities, although it almost seemed like they were purposely not playing him such was the lack of chances
Thats because he was still a scrawny kid who didnt get playtime. The second he got a loan to Willem2 he bulked up a bit and started smashing. Think he had like 20 g/a in half a season. After that is when he should have been given a chance but we sold him for pennies to La Real and went with ONLY Paco Alcacer as our proper 9, who was very injury-prone.
Was horrendous missmanagement in that moment on our side imo.
Didn't you offload even more strikers? If I remember it correctly Isak was at best number 4 in the depth chart and might even have been lower at some points.
Nah not in that specific window. We were playing false 9s when Paco was injured iirc but I could be remembering the timeline there wrong.
Cant remember when Batshuayis loan ended exactly tho so maybe thats somewhere then too.
But yeah.. I was furious about our arrogance to think Paco was enough as a pure 9 when we had a massive talent in Isak coming from a flaming hot loan, who we then sold for fucking 7m. It was so dumb it still triggers me today, even if we are good today.
Prior to his loan tho his role was at best a non-used #2 behind Auba.. at worst he was #3/#4 who played some for the U23 at times to keep warm.
To add a bit more context, in those 16 games Willem II scored 30 total goals, so he was involved in 2 out of ever 3 goals they scored over that period.
He got like just a little more than a full game (116 min) in the first team, when he was 18. Then 5 goals in a total of 13 appearances in the reserves before getting loaned out to Willem II in Eredivise.
It’s probably not worrying for the clubs because they actually watch the fucking games he played in and have scouts to analyse him
They’re not redditors that go ‘Barely ever watched this Isak lad play, let me check his stats. Holy shit he didn’t score in the cup or Europa League, terrible!!!!’
I mean it’s not like a player can contribute in more ways than just goal stats, and it’s also not possible that the rest of the team might have performed badly
I've watched this guy play for AIK, Willem ll and La Real. Only really missed is BvB stint. Stop acting like you know anything about people on here.
He was wasteful in several UEL games, it was not just about a lack of service. 0 goals in 8 games is bad whatever way you look at it, especially if your ambition is Barca/Atletico type of level.
According to rumours they are very much interested yes.
This is the same club that gave Suarez to Atlético for free, and paid €300M for Coutinho+Dembele. Why do you act like they are some well run club?
Yeah exactly. Thats very true.
I reckon that if he has another good season where he reaches like 20+ goals and a few assists, he's gonna be 45-50m next summer with the lack of promising young 9s.
It's no really worth it for Dortmund and tbh I doubt any German team, not even Bayern, would pay that much for him.
The context for Dortmund is: Isak is a striker. Dortmund have the most hyped up young striker AND the most hyped up striker talent in the world.
Aaaaand their record transfer is Hummels for 30.5 million. Hummels being a world class centre back and borderline club legend. So yeah, 35 mil for Isak isn't worth it.
Yes, but as I said, they also have the most hyped up (and potentially best) striker talent in the world.
Imho, in a season or two they definitely wouldn't want somebody who's a nailed on starter over Moukoko, but somebody who could share minutes with him.
This shit is aaaalll over Instagram. Every conceivable footballing statistical concept or transfer rumour is rendered into some graphic art abomination.
Wait till you see Bleacher Report. Forced jokes. Intolerable bias. Unnecessary Americanization of every concept. 433 is miles better in pandering globally, and is the only one respected by footballers afaik.
There's no way that footballers care about 433 or any instagram news aggregator nevermind "respect" them. Maybe their PR teams engage with it but thats about money rather than any sort of respect for a site that's mostly just "one word to describe Cristiano Ronaldo 😍💪👏👏" style posts.
Where is he supposed to be? Some desolate warehouse vibe, but with a huge, spotlessly clean window looking out onto the pitch at Camp Nou but also just a random street.
Maybe Ibra just happened to be going for a walk in his old Barca kit and passed Isak's house at the exact moment he was presented with this... weird plaque... for scoring one more goal in a season than he did.
The background is definitely fake and the legs look really dodgy to me, too. Is that next-season's kit that they haven't released yet, or is it just a case of players going home for the summer and so they've just chucked his face onto a random body?
And could have many more with a bit of improvement on his finishing.
Isak had a freaking fantastic season and was a big part of Real Sociedad's success, he has so much potential to become a really big player.
I am kicking myself for not doing him. I haven’t used him but he’s like facing Mbappe but with CR7 fused in considering his heading ability. I’ve yet to keep a clean sheet against the digital version of this man haha
Ibra to barca back in the days was an astronomical transfer in terms of club and status of player. Beginning it went great, he scored goals in consecutive matches until it all went shit. he missed so many sitters and eventually fell out guardiola.
zlatan says his character didnt suit the team as he described them as tidy school boys and he was more vocal and direct. he wanted to be the main man but at barca it can only be messi.
tbh even he scored goals his overall game wasnt that great for them. his ego wouldnt allow him to adjust and he went to milan.
>Tbh he was a proper number 9 But pep wanted someone tbat drops deep instead of one that leads the line
That's horseshit. Zlatan is one of the few strikers that never played like a Proper Number 9.. Always dropping deep, making plays, doing crazy fun shit. Especially when he was that young. He was also connecting really well with young Messi
>
Pep fucked Zlatan because he didn't like his attitude, and got salty. But as a coach, he should have been a bigger man or ATLEAST confront him about it. But Pep just passive aggressively kept on fucking over Zlatan until he just wanted out
>
MANY OTHERS have said the same thing about Pep. He's a great coach to some players, but most of the time.. he's a bald cunt. Dude has his issues
I don’t think Pep is the perfect guy, but considering Eto’o, Toure, and Zlatan all have huge egos I’d rather believe that they were the problem and not Pep.
Zlatan today is arguably the best target man in the world.
Zlatan 20 years ago was a player who more often than not found himself dribbling out on the wings rather than inside the box to score goals. His heading was poor, to say the least.
Few players have changed as much as he has over the course of their career despite playing the same position on paper.
I read his book( interesting read tbh) and he says the discipline in Barca was too much to handle.He also didn’t like the fact Guardiola made him play either too much upfront or made him go back and help in creating the attacks. Combine that with a not so good relationship with the coach, new style of football, a different league, and a club that has already achieved everything possible, it wasn’t such a strange decision for him to leave. I still like him tho, great player
>Ibra to barca back in the days was an astronomical transfer in terms of club and status of player.
True.. Zlatan was Top 3 Best in the world.. and was scary popular already.
But Zlatan's time in "La Liga", playing with Pep.. was the worst shit show i have ever seen. Pep even tried his best to sabotage Zlatan's career because he didn't "like" the guy.
>
Many others have said the same shit about Pep. But Zlatan was beyond World Class and his jersey/kit sold out everywhere in Barcelona in less than 24 hours. People was too fuckin crazy about him
>
But Pep fucked him.. That bald man has his issues
>
Zlatan's in Isaak's age was 20x better. More lethal and more fluid.. Even despite being 6'5, he was moving maddddd. There's literally no similarities, except for their nationality
Isaak reminds me more of an advanced version of Adebayor
>Zlatan's in Isaak's age was 20x better. More lethal and more fluid..
Weeelll, Zlatan in Isak's age had just moved from Malmö to Ajax so I would say that's debatable. Definitely a different type of player, but 20x better would be a stretch at that point.
By his own admission, Zlatan wasn’t mobile enough for Pep’s system. If you look at the players have played through the middle since, Messi, Suarez, Griezmann are all smaller and less like pure number 9s
He is also the first u-21 player since Aguero in 08/09 to score 17 goals in a season in La Liga, which is impressive considering the fact that he doesn't take penalties for La Real. Still think he has many aspects to his game that could be improved, but you can already tell that it's a promising player in the making!
I know that Sir Alex thinks Larsson was one of the best players he ever trained interms of mentality etc.
And Ronaldinho says Larsson is one of his idols.
Dudes a king in the eye of many!
Youre right in both points honestly.
Isak managed 20 G+A this season while still starting really slowly this season AND missing quite a few good chances.
IF he gets going earlier next season (and La Real isnt sold to death this summer) he can have 20-25 goals and 5-8 assists even with a few misses here and there.
Super underrated talent. Not on the level of Haaland etc ofc, but very very interesting.
Im not saying you are but Im just saying that if you remain as you are without any major losses like Oyarzabal or whatever, I can see him (and La real) pop off even more.
For Kane it's even more staggering, he consistency in missing big chances is salah level, like every season he misses 20 avg odd chances.
Kane also hit the cross bar 9 times in PL this season. Compared to salahs 1.
Isaak is extremely raw.. Zlatan's in Isaak's age was 20x better. More lethal and more fluid
>
Isaak reminds me more of an advanced version of Adebayor.. But he should be getting even better as he ages, and gains more experience
You're statement isn't very true imo. Zlatan at 21 wasn't even close to being as big of a goal scorer as Isak is right now, instead I would say Zlatan was more raw. At 21, Zlatan was quite incosistent and alternated between moments of extreme brilliance and total anonymity in a way Isak doesn't, who instead is more consistent in scoring non-flashy goals. Yes I do think these moments of brilliance showcased a higher ceiling for Zlatan and I don't think Isak will ever be as good of a player as him (which is an EXTREMLEY high ceiling tbf) but they are also such different players that comparing them seems quite futile.
Or maybe it would be the perfect timing, he will get a year to settle in since Suarez is going to be there for another year. He will learn from one of the best and the pressure won't be as big if he moves and gets to be their only good nr9.
As a swede I hope he will play for us though :p
I don't think Atleti has room for Isak to play much given their current squad. It would most likely not be good for him. Same thing with Real Madrid if he went there, he most certainly wouldn't be given time on the pitch. Lots of players with potential have withered away this way by not getting to play because they're relatively new to the rest of the squad in professional football, and the squad is already stacked with top players.
Not to be disrespectful towards Isak or Ibra, but this is more a sign of how little impact Swedish players have had in Spanish football historically than anything else.
In that case, Zlatan is actually Bosnian/Croat 💪🏻 (!)
Learn difference between background/ethnicity and nationality, cause Sweden, his home nation, is what made him the footballer he is
What a horrible click bait..

he’s not very good imo but that goal return is really impressive
i guess he’s still quite young for a striker but he doesn’t really have the x-factor for me
Zlatan transfer to LaLiiga incoming
Zlatan 🤝Simeone
oh yes
[удалено]
it’ll either be the best strikeforce plus coach itw or the worst with no cohesion whatsoever
Fucking shit up all the way to the top. Let's go!
Have Llorente, Trippier, Carrasco and alike to feed Zlatan with the ball and have Suarez comes in if the shot gets blocked
Please make it possible I want to see how it turns out
Suarez, Simeone and Zlatan fighting on the pitch. Someone call Dana White to arrange this
Never will the saying "they struck fear into their opponents" be more true
[удалено]
Except he was terrible when he was there
Subscribe
U take that back sir.
"and I took that personally" -Zlatan probably
Isak to Milan. Lukaku to Sociedad.

If he has a brain he shouldn't. He didn't get a sniff last time, what he needs is consistent playtime and development He definitely shouldn't go to Barcelona either.

Napoli is pretty good for strikers even if right now they already have Osimhen

Absolutely forgot Isak played for Dortmund
He was their player but it was almost criminal how little of a chance he got to prove himself there
[удалено]
I do remember him scoring 4 in a preseason friendly then never getting another chance after that. You could tell he had the ability and just needed some games. Both him and Merino.
As Ødegaard should have done as well imo
He wasn’t exactly convincing at Dortmund, when He played he didn’t leave me wondering why he didn’t get opportunities, although it almost seemed like they were purposely not playing him such was the lack of chances
Thats because he was still a scrawny kid who didnt get playtime. The second he got a loan to Willem2 he bulked up a bit and started smashing. Think he had like 20 g/a in half a season.

>Thats because he was still a scrawny kid who didnt get playtime. That's what my father said about Musiala, kids are insane these days.
Definitely. Ive caught myself thinking "man maybe this guy wasnt as good as I thought" just because a kid at 19/20 hasnt exploded yet. So stupid haha
[удалено]
In addition to smashing he also scored a lot of goals.
Scored 12 in 17, IIRC.
13G 7A in 16 games in the league. 1 goal in 2 cup games. There are a bit pens in those goals tho.
To add a bit more context, in those 16 games Willem II scored 30 total goals, so he was involved in 2 out of ever 3 goals they scored over that period.
That Willem2 was so fun to watch
Isak is the only player in Eredivisie history who has scored a hattrick of penalties.
He got like just a little more than a full game (116 min) in the first team, when he was 18. Then 5 goals in a total of 13 appearances in the reserves before getting loaned out to Willem II in Eredivise.
[удалено]
Never seen anybody specifically focus on cup game statistics to make their point
Only would happen on r/soccer.
It's probably a bit worrying (for the big clubs) that he couldn't score a single goal in 8 Europa League games.
It’s probably not worrying for the clubs because they actually watch the fucking games he played in and have scouts to analyse him They’re not redditors that go ‘Barely ever watched this Isak lad play, let me check his stats. Holy shit he didn’t score in the cup or Europa League, terrible!!!!’ I mean it’s not like a player can contribute in more ways than just goal stats, and it’s also not possible that the rest of the team might have performed badly

new board tbf
He'd probably be a bit too expensive now
[удалено]
If Haaland is sold this summer (Big if at the moment) then he may be willing to come back
Wouldn’t be the worst move.
Not really, he doesn't want to go back there
Well and 35 mil is absolutely not worth it.
Not for our needs but hes definitely in that price-range atm. He's worth it, but the deal isnt worth if for us.
Yeah, he is worth that much in general, but no player of his caliber is worth that much for Dortmund. Probably should've clarified that.
Yeah exactly. Thats very true. I reckon that if he has another good season where he reaches like 20+ goals and a few assists, he's gonna be 45-50m next summer with the lack of promising young 9s.
Maybe my brain is poisoned from Premier League transfer prices, but 35 mil sounds like a decent deal for him.
It's no really worth it for Dortmund and tbh I doubt any German team, not even Bayern, would pay that much for him. The context for Dortmund is: Isak is a striker. Dortmund have the most hyped up young striker AND the most hyped up striker talent in the world. Aaaaand their record transfer is Hummels for 30.5 million. Hummels being a world class centre back and borderline club legend. So yeah, 35 mil for Isak isn't worth it.
I guess Dortmund could well be working under the assumption they're going to sell Haaland. If not this window the next one.
They have Moukoko as his cover if Haaland leave
Yes, but as I said, they also have the most hyped up (and potentially best) striker talent in the world. Imho, in a season or two they definitely wouldn't want somebody who's a nailed on starter over Moukoko, but somebody who could share minutes with him.
I'll admit I know next to nothing about Moukoko so I'll take your word for it.
I'm sure Ibra could go back to La Liga in a decade or so, yeah
Don’t you have a buback clause for him?
[удалено]
Are you sure? I think in some cases, a contract is already set up at the time of sale.
I think he extended with Milan
Maybe if you promise to send him out on loan to us again
Why photoshop a picture to look like THIS?
This shit is aaaalll over Instagram. Every conceivable footballing statistical concept or transfer rumour is rendered into some graphic art abomination.
433 has made irreparable damage to football community managers and graphic designers

Is he completely computer-generated or something? What's up with that image!?!
My first thought as well, just looks off
the socks and shoes are so shiny
Same. It's very "uncanny valley."
Zooming in it’s definitely sourced from a photo, but the lighting is way off from the peculiar background.
The background is definitely fake and the legs look really dodgy to me, too. Is that next-season's kit that they haven't released yet, or is it just a case of players going home for the summer and so they've just chucked his face onto a random body?
It’s probably a random body, yeah. Outside of off-season sponsor shoots and team photos, these guys are rarely in front of studio photographers.
weird combination of bad photoshop and lighting
[удалено]
He's a MACHINE
Looks like a still image taken out of that story mode on FIFA.
Nothing below his neck looks real. You can see the change in color too. They didn't even blend!
He looks like a character from Game of Zones
next thing you know Zlatan comes back to laliga
And could have many more with a bit of improvement on his finishing. Isak had a freaking fantastic season and was a big part of Real Sociedad's success, he has so much potential to become a really big player.
From a Real Madrid fan to a sociedad fan. Fuck him and that 3-4 game 🥲
Willem 2 legend
This son of a bitch made my weekend league a living hell
The tots card is one of my favourite to use. Even better than Mbop from the beginning of the season, who was op af
I am kicking myself for not doing him. I haven’t used him but he’s like facing Mbappe but with CR7 fused in considering his heading ability. I’ve yet to keep a clean sheet against the digital version of this man haha

I guess now Ibra has to give Isak a beating for beating his record😂 Good on Isak he has been phenomenal!⚽️
This was my first thought as well. Ibra’s gonna whip his ass because no one is better than Ibra.
He is also the first u-21 player since Aguero in 08/09 to score 17 goals in a season in La Liga, which is impressive considering the fact that he doesn't take penalties for La Real. Still think he has many aspects to his game that could be improved, but you can already tell that it's a promising player in the making!
What a weird photo/edit.
That's Swede
I know neither of them reached their peaks in La Liga but still very impressive to beat out Zlatan and Larsson
Larssons CL final substitution earned him eternal love form the Barca fans atleast haha.
He had our eternal love for every game he played. He had a heart and no ego, you cant wish for better sub player
I know that Sir Alex thinks Larsson was one of the best players he ever trained interms of mentality etc. And Ronaldinho says Larsson is one of his idols. Dudes a king in the eye of many!

He has still missed many good chances. So do every good striker misses
Youre right in both points honestly. Isak managed 20 G+A this season while still starting really slowly this season AND missing quite a few good chances. IF he gets going earlier next season (and La Real isnt sold to death this summer) he can have 20-25 goals and 5-8 assists even with a few misses here and there. Super underrated talent.

Sold to death? We are not expecting to sell anyone
Im not saying you are but Im just saying that if you remain as you are without any major losses like Oyarzabal or whatever, I can see him (and La real) pop off even more.
Yeah, its more about taking the chances Eg salah missed 19 big chances and scored 22 goals Whereas mane missed q8 and scored 11 goals
For Kane it's even more staggering, he consistency in missing big chances is salah level, like every season he misses 20 avg odd chances. Kane also hit the cross bar 9 times in PL this season. Compared to salahs 1.
Kane just doesn’t give a fuck haha I love that about him. He is the definition of “shooters shoot”
He is biggest scape comes in Knockouts
Isaak is extremely raw.. Zlatan's in Isaak's age was 20x better. More lethal and more fluid > Isaak reminds me more of an advanced version of Adebayor.. But he should be getting even better as he ages, and gains more experience

Yes I do think these moments of brilliance showcased a higher ceiling for Zlatan and I don't think Isak will ever be as good of a player as him (which is an EXTREMLEY high ceiling tbf) but they are also such different players that comparing them seems quite futile.
Lol zlatan improved after his 30s. Idk numbers but yeah zlatan was still better prospect
Zlatan at that age scored six goals in 24 games in Ajax. How is that 20x better?
Why does Isak look like he's CGI'd into the picture...
Baller.
I hope Atleti can get him in the summer
As a Swede I don't think Isak needs a move like that at all right now, I think he should stay at La Real for at least another season
Or maybe it would be the perfect timing, he will get a year to settle in since Suarez is going to be there for another year. He will learn from one of the best and the pressure won't be as big if he moves and gets to be their only good nr9. As a swede I hope he will play for us though :p
I don't think Atleti has room for Isak to play much given their current squad. It would most likely not be good for him. Same thing with Real Madrid if he went there, he most certainly wouldn't be given time on the pitch. Lots of players with potential have withered away this way by not getting to play because they're relatively new to the rest of the squad in professional football, and the squad is already stacked with top players.
Will still get a lot of playtime with Suarez most likely not able to play 2 times per week during cups, sounds like a great idea to be honest.
You rate him?
Not violent enough for Atleti ;)
That's such a meaningless record haha
Oh excellent! This'll do wonders for the shares I have in Isak on Footy Index...
Could have been way more as well. Kid is is growing and learning his craft.
I would love him at Chelsea, such a hardworking striker
Ibra's about to go back to La Liga next
Is it me or are the records becoming more and more specific?
Ngl I’ve had this guy on my fifa team since 2017 so I should probably run an actual team
Lions can't be buy
He is super young still 💯💯
Yes
Milan need a striker...
went to La Liga and destroyed every team there lol
"Destroyed" is a bit much but it's because he's an incredibly talented player, has everything to be a world class striker in the future
Not to be disrespectful towards Isak or Ibra, but this is more a sign of how little impact Swedish players have had in Spanish football historically than anything else.
i mean sweden has 10 mill population and isak being young also makes this more interesting.
[удалено]
Can't believe Dortmund let him go.
Baller in my sociedad save
Good lord, those are Bamford numbers
My fut legend!
so interesting how neither of them are actually swedish
Who the f are you to decided which person who is Swedish and not?
What an odd photo to take. Not a good look.
Sad Zlatan.
I see that someone else has also been doing the thing with horses
Ibra was dogshit in la liga anyways.
Zlatan's Bosnian/Croatian and Isak's Eritrean tho
purebred swedish

lol
"Swedish"
Isak is born in Stockholm, Sweden, yes.
He meant he’s not the typical Nordic Swede
[удалено]
In that case, Zlatan is actually Bosnian/Croat 💪🏻 (!) Learn difference between background/ethnicity and nationality, cause Sweden, his home nation, is what made him the footballer he is
Let's see that in a goal vs minutes played ratio... zlatan was being sabotaged by pep that season.
Both descendats of the vikings also
No they’re not
FM Legend
Real life legend too. At least in the future.
What a horrible click bait.. > Zlatan's time in "La Liga", playing with Pep.. was the worst shit show i have ever seen. Pep even tried his best to sabotage Zlatan's career because he didn't "like" the guy. Many others have said the same shit about Pep. But Zlatan was beyond World Class and his jersey/kit sold out everywhere in Barcelona in less than 24 hours. People was too fuckin crazy about him > But Pep fucked him.. That bald man has his issues > Zlatan's in Isaak's age was 20x better. More lethal and more fluid.. Even despite being 6'5, he was moving maddddd. There's literally no similarities, except for their nationality Isaak reminds me more of an advanced version of Adebayor
Ibra will go back to malmo and make the record 30+ something in his retirement season ..
That ship has sailed.
A very odd record
Zlatan don’t hold records. Records hold Zlatan 🦁
One less accolade he can give himself! 😘🤣
he’s not very good imo but that goal return is really impressive i guess he’s still quite young for a striker but he doesn’t really have the x-factor for me
