  1. If it wasn't for PSR we could offer Isak 300k a week to stay. Do you think he would still want to move?
  2. The saudi clubs don't have PSR.
  3. Reality is, if a player can double his wages by moving, he's going to want to move. But yeah, he signed a contract so we can hold him to it if we are firm.
  4. It will be a PL club he's wanting a move to IMO. Liverpool unfortunately.
  5. True enough. But we don't have to bend over unless we get a price which makes it worthwhile.
  6. Yeah my point was that was how PSR was intended to work. Lock in those already at the top, and stop any new owners spending the money it will take to close the gap.
  7. We were doing that then got brought down to earth with a bump when we hit the PSR wall. So you can hardly call it a sustainable plan.
  8. I haven't seen any offers of £200m on the table. Liverpool were talking about £120m.
  9. Galatasaray are offering him a 3 year contract on 200k a week from what I heard. How the fuck can they afford that?
  10. Not unless they stump up some pretty massive cash. They can take their £120m and shove it up their arse.
  11. If it's Isak then he needs to be held to his contract and left out of the team until he sees sense.
  12. Except Howe was insisting last week that he would definitely be travelling to Asia.
  13. He's making a mug of Howe after he insisted he would be going to Asia.

    They are all paying top dollar for the most sought after strikers in the world though. It's not just about PL experience, otherwise we wouldn't have been chasing Ekitike.

    But when I asked you to name one you didn't come up with any. That alone tells you it's not that easy to take a punt on a relative unknown.

    If we were operating like Brighton or Bournemouth I would agree, and I think that was where Eales was trying to take us. Financially it's the prudent approach. But we are a CL club and I don't want us to lower our standards at a time where we are still going toe to toe with the cartel clubs. If I'm Eddie Howe I don't want to back down either.

    Wissa has proven himself in the PL which in itself means that increases our chances of getting another CL spot next season. Normally I would agree with buying a younger player, but I wouldn't want to hang my hat on Isak staying fit again for the majority of this season. Wissa is money we won't get back on the transfer fee, but I would feel a lot more confident of going head to head with Chelsea or Arsenal with Wissa than some unproven striker who Howe would probably be reluctant to start anyway.

    If we want CL football again next season, what are the alternatives? We need quality to go toe to toe with the cartel clubs.
  19. Is it possible that we as fans are getting ahead of ourselves? PIF's public comments have always been the aim is to be No 1. But did they give a timeline for this? I'm asking because I don't recall myself. If it's 5 years then we are not on course any time soon. If it's 10 years then maybe given a lot of things falling in place which would increase our revenue dramatically.
  20. You are right about one thing. We have Isak. You don't.
  21. PIF were made to sign a waiver that they wouldn't take the PL to court if they were allowed to buy the club iirc.
