What was the whole thing with Watkins being dropped for Rashford at times last season in some pretty key games? Seen some reports that it was because they had clashed. I presume that was not valid then?

Yeah, you'd imagine so. Will probably give it till the end of the week and then sack it off if no progress. Beginning to understand just a tiny bit more why Wissa is losing it.

It will likely be tied to them making the Champions League again next year or something like that, and perhaps winning a cup too. Much more likely if they send Wissa to Spurs to work with his former manager that is familiar with him. Looks like Wissa isn't going for it at all though and really wants to join Newcastle. Remember Spurs also went for Mbeumo and Man Utd had to deal with similar as Mbeumo only wanted to go to them. Ended up dragging on for ages, so this is going to be tedious.

Similar add ons exist for player transfers don't they?

There was some talk that there were performance related add ons as part of Spurs agreement with Brentford to get Thomas Frank. So the better Frank does at Spurs the more money Brentford get. Probably has to do with that.

If he doesn't get it by now I don't think he ever will. This is absolutely ridiculous man

I think it's pretty clear who is lacking the understanding here

No his point was completely irrelevant actually. Any body with any kind of intelligence would recognise that

You are so impossibly stupid man. Fuck off

The article refers to French African players that featured for Newcastle because Wissa is African and was born and raised in France. This is impossibly simple and straightforward, and has nothing to do with his heritage being Congolese. My God.

No it isn't. Just because his heritage is Congolese doesn't mean he isn't French African.

Very talented but a bit of a maverick. Alonso didn't trust him tactically. He's also had injury issues, and just looks like he's never fit and is carrying extra weight.

Wissa was born and raised in France. What on Earth are you on about?!

Good vibes!

I like the look of this guy. So much more robust and athletic than other midfield options we've had off the bench the last couple of years.

Be a bit of a waste of Wissa after signing him like.

Alright! Good sign the clubs are talking directly. Brentford don't seem to be holding any animosity over this at least. But then again we haven't had Romano firing off only wants Newcastle tweets every hour of everyday throughout the summer.

Calm before the storm. Big bomba incoming.

The mad thing is all these other fans of other clubs had so much banter and jokes when we signed Isak, because he wasn't a goal scorer apparently, due to only scoring 6 goals in La Liga the year before and under performing his xg. If we sign Jackson it will be because the coaching staff appreciate all the other stuff he does and will feel once again that they will be able to get better finishing and more goals out of him.

Forest are going to be in and around the European spots again this season. That crazy owner of theirs has something about him that's for sure.

I think we may have well walked away from this deal. I reckon the performance and result against Forest rattled them and this one is hanging by a thread if not completely dead already.

Kanj we know by now that's not how things work on here and never will be. It's the hallmark of NO man

I think it will likely be something like £55 million plus add ons in a best case scenario. Just seen the Jackson talk that Chelsea will do an initial loan with the obligation next year. There's a chance we may see Larsen and Jackson come in the way things are headed.

Everything that has come out since the link states that they will but that it will be expensive. The initial quoted price being £65 million. So at the very least even if we negotiate very well we are paying at least £55 million minimum you'd imagine. Wolves have very good links with that Jorge Mendes agent. They have always managed to get decent players in without too much of a fuss. I think they'd take the massive one year profit and go and get players in.
