Go on then, who do we have who's more reliable?

And Watkins

Isn't it just.

indeed

Why fuck off? he's the most accurate we have by a distance. 'Fuck off, Craig' while you read the article? 😂

Wissa refusing to play for Brentford again apparently.

Well thats stating the obvious on the right deal, tbh. I'm not saying sell him for £50.

Just the word 'optics' 789 times.

That's true, but when part of the motivation is financial, and we're hamstrung, I can't see how thats fixed. I could be wrong. Let's see.

Makes him even more irrelevant tbf.

The point stands, see how we come out of this. I'm ok for reading Bruno's body language as well.

Efficient, agreed. Think it's hard to say we haven't been savvy in the past, though.

We’ll only know if we’ve fucked up once it plays out. If we sell him for £150m and spend it well, we’ll come out stronger. It doesn’t look great right now, but that can change quickly, it's way too early to make a final call. And let’s be honest, he’s an absolute tool. His opinion is either totally irrelevant or premeditated just to drive engagement. How anyone listens to or watches the likes of him is beyond me.

Not for me. All of last seasons team are legends and always will be IMO. I think we should sell Isak, there's no way back, but he won't be getting any shit from me if/when he returns to SJP as an opposition player.

Got no interest in keeping him. Hold out for the fee we want, but he’s got to go.

they’ll be in by Xmas 2028

Didn’t you say it reeked of desperation yesterday?

I totally agree there, yeah. We will though, i'm confident of that. My worry lies in how long that takes and what it does to replacements in the meantime. Are we going to sign them while he's still here? Can't see it, so we need to act quickly on a sale. The ideal scenario is we replace him now and let him sit until we get the £150m we want, knowing that we'll get the money to cover the PSR hole we'll have created at some point. Let's see.

There's no benefit to that imo. Maximising the price now is all we can do. He's checked out, and by all accounts had done last summer and had to be talked round. Get what we can and spend the money on the squad (ha!).

Massive few weeks ahead, he'll fuck off if we're not careful imo.

This is a total embarrassment to be fair. They've let the manager down big time IMO. Difficult to spin it any other way.

No, just had the bollocks to say he wants away by all accounts.

he should include himself in that the fucking divvy.

Yeah, has been all week.

My take is as it always is. If Howe has identified this fella as the replacement, that’s good enough for me.
