Having finally got the news that Liverpool and Newcastle have agreed a deal for the Reds to sign Alexander Isak, some supporters went online to claim the transfer can help create a dynasty.
Winning 1-0 against Arsenal, sitting top of the table and signing the best striker in the Premier League – not a bad way to finish the summer!
The longest saga of the summer is finally drawing to a close, with Liverpool having had a £125 million bid for Isak accepted.
As Liverpool broke the British transfer record for a second time this summer, supporters took to the internet to express their eagerness to watch their new No. 9 playing alongside Liverpool’s host of world-class players.
“Never in doubt. Just ridiculous Newcastle have made an absolute show of this all summer.
“British record broken twice in what is the single best transfer window any club has ever had. We aren’t just building a best in class squad this summer. We are nailing down a dynasty over the next five years.
“Welcome Alex lad. Privilege to have you in Red” – KloppiteE in the This is Anfield comments
When Arne Slot and Virgil van Dijk hinted that Liverpool had big plans for next season in May, no one could’ve believed in their wildest imagination that it’d mean Isak, Wirtz, Ekitiké, Kerkez, Frimpong, Leoni – and likely Guéhi. The oldest of the lot is 25. Present and future.

Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz in the same summer, along with two elite level emerging full-backs and one of the highest potential-laden European forwards in Ekitike… genuinely astounding work. A massive, massive statement from #LFC.
Guehi talks remain highly accelerated.

“I will never ever speak badly about FSG again. They have clearly set up Liverpool for success over the next 5 years.
“FSG have absolutely just played their best possible hand. It’s like they’ve waited for Man City to decline to swing for the fences” – Aswce10 in the This is Anfield comments
The only thing the Newcastle PR machine seem to have got spot on this summer is that Isak and Ekitike will be playing upfront together. ?

“I’m just happy that finally this saga is coming to a conclusion.
“Can see concerns about the player’s character voiced here – personally can’t comment about this, since I don’t know anything – does anyone?
“Can only trust in our excellent scouting department in being able to prise away a diamond player from the most haughty, aloof club we’ve ever had the pleasure of doing business with” – Paul Smith in the This is Anfield comments
“I don’t agree with this, look at the way he ditched Newcastle, who’s to say he won’t do the same to LFC” – Frank Eves on Facebook
Liverpool saying to Newcastle if you don’t sell us Isak we will sign Ekitike and then still sign Isak & actually doing it is the biggest power play in prem history

“I don’t think there is a single person who would have believed this transfer window would happen when they were told back in May.
“I mean, we knew Kerkez and Frimpong were targets, but Wirtz, Isak? You’d have been called a nutter if you suggested either one, much less BOTH in one window” – Cyrus114 in the This is Anfield comments
I genuinely thought signing Isak this window was a pipe dream. It was always the one I’d say I wanted if we could sign ANYONE in the world in a theoretical scenario with endless money. I never believed in May it was actually a possibility… I’m happy and hopeful tonight?

“What a stunning day, topping the table, beating one of the bookish favourites for title and signing one of Europe’s top goal-scorers.
“Next move is directed to bring in Guehi to complete the party” – Saad El on Facebook
With the imminent signing of Alexander Isak for £125m, #LFC have almost as high a net spend as Arsenal this summer ?

“Isak is a very, very good player. He can dribble, he is quick, amazing footwork, brilliant link-up play, brilliant positioning, he is good at one-touch finishes, good from outside the box, can play alone” – Chee’s Torri on Facebook
Imagine Arsenal fans. Phase 6 Arteta no real trophies. Spent £250M again this summer. They came to Anfield this weekend and lost. Now they wake up and see LFC has signed Alexander Isak. Must be deflating. pic.twitter.com/mLoy1j6Qjp

While a few fans have voiced their concern about how Isak has gone about securing a move to Liverpool, the vast majority are overjoyed to have the Swede among the Reds’ ranks.
Isak’s 27 goals in all competitions last season are just the tip of the iceberg when judging his quality; it is in his range of finishes and superb footwork that one can really see his potential.
At 25 years old, Liverpool aren’t buying potential, though. There is, of course, room to improve, but this is a striker who is ready-made to come in and take the Reds to another level in attack.
