I'd actually see Wissa as more of an Isak replacement than Jackson tbh. Just feel his finishing is more refined, Jackson is still very much in the works.

Depends on the quality of the striker as well though. If we'd got Sesko or Jao Pedro, then maybe we would have considered letting Isak go. Even then Liverpool would have to offer a figure WE considered acceptable. Given the way things have played out, I'm not surprised we are telling Liverpool and Isak to go do one.

Well we'd be aware of it, so I imagine that's why Ramsey's decision is being pushed to a head now.

Go on lad. Pay buck the crafty Parish and Liverpool in the currency they understand best.

I'm hoping we've given Ramsey a deadline on making a decision so we can move quickly on El Khannouss before his release clause lapses.

At this point I'd just like to see him signed sometime in the next couple of days, if he has a few minutes at Villa I would count that as a bonus.

Tbh, they might have had second thoughts anyway if they have clicked on that his agent is an absolute psycho.

If Wissa is the only incoming striker then Isak definitely will be coming back into the fold. We aren't going to be relying on Wissa and Osula.

The squad is getting there, you can see it taking shape. Only the striker situation needs addressing and hopefully it will be done in the next couple of weeks.

Fuck me, talk about splitting hairs.

Howe did mention we might be able to take advantage of other clubs with PSR issues this summer. I reckon Ramsey must have been the player he had in mind since he's a long term admirer.

They concern me a bit regardless of how good a player he is.

It's why I've had an intense hatred of them as a club for years, long before they respectfully tossed the Isak hand grenade in our laps.

He's actually one of the more reasonable ones, you should see some of the fan content.

They must think our fans are as hysterical as them, the rabid raging twats that they are.

Howe has already said it's not just up to him, which suggests the owners might not let Isak go for a cut price deal to Liverpool regardless of what Howe would prefer.

Palace lost any leverage when we decided to stop wasting time on cartel targets and sign Thiaw instead. Now they have only one buyer and will have to respectfully come to an agreement with them cunts.

It also suggests that they can't afford to pay £150m for Isak. Or just don't think he's worth that. What they've offered so far is a piss take, and from that starting point it seems unlikely they'll get anywhere close to a deal so they are just hoping we capitulate somehow.

They'd both be equally useless on the rehab program.

It shows the hideous tactics are paying off for the mobster agent and his scouse handlers tbh.

Which is why it's even more important we don't bend to player power, especially when it's a proxy for cunt cartel moves.

He's the one I'd go for. Looks a player and good value.

Just watched a highlights video and while I know that's never a full picture I saw enough to make me think Brentford will come out of that very well if they swap him out for Wissa. Kalimuendo looks two footed, can pick a pass and can finish. I would be happy to see us go in for him tbh.

I don't know enough about him, but generally I like to buy players with a higher ceiling rather than a 29 year old, but Wissa is proven so I can understand why we don't want to take any chances.
