There's no way we pay £80m for him. Only way I can see this being pursued is if Wissa costs about £50m and Jackson maybe £60m. He's only 24 so we might see better long term value and a higher ceiling maybe. Wissa's a far better striker right now though.

I wish that wasn't true, but I'm pretty sure it would be.

Yeah I just made the same point earlier tbf.

Unless we are trying to slowly become Everton, I'm not going to believe there's any truth in that.

We could do that as well though.

No idea. I'm not sure how far we could go with the financial package anyway, otherwise in theory we should be able to do the same with Isak. It all comes under PSR scrutiny I would think.

It's not going to register with some people. They are convinced the big club pull is something fictional, and therefore it must be a failure of the board somehow. If there is a failure it's been chasing players who we were not likely to get.

Eddie specifically said he had to earn the right to train with the team again.

Maybe I need to see some highlights of Jacksons goals then. Every time I watch him he always seems to find some way of ballsing it up.

I'm hoping the links to him are just journo clickbait. A striker who can't finish is never the answer, doesn't matter what the question is.

If Brentford aren't going to budge on their valuation of Wissa we need to be making other moves now not later.

We need a replacement for Wilson not Isak.

If that's in Serbia, sign me up.

Then we'd be cursing the decision in two years time when they have no resale value and our PSR limit is in the red.

Miggy and Isak were the two who came to mind. Not that I would want to sell Isak but 100x there rather than Liverpool.

Seems like every other clubs players are happy to go to Saudi except ours.

It's infuriating.

This. At this stage we don't need just a small pool of players to choose from. Just build out the fucking squad so we can compete in a CL season.

We don't even know if he's on our list, or whether he would be open to coming here. It's a very tenuous link at the moment.

Don''t think it was tbh. The same people who are criticising Froggy were furious that any doubts were being cast on Howe at the time. What I would say is it was just doubts, very few of the fanbase actually wanted Howe out.

His touch has looked a bit heavy a couple of times but it is pre-season. Obviously I'm hoping that we've done our homework and he's yet to show what he's really capable of.

I think they have tried to get the best in class generally. They got it wrong with Eales though.

Of course it is. But then it depends on who is making the calls on which players we are going for.
