He’s not available until Brentford get a replacement, and there’s no word of them being close to that. This will drag on until close to deadline day and there’s a decent chance it won’t happen at all IMO.

I want Joelinton to stay forever. When we’re playing a better team he’s the first name on the team sheet for me.

The most common description from those that watch him make him sound like Bramble.

The guy is an ingrate with a pea sized heart. He should feel strong loyalty to Howe for what he’s done for his career, but instead all he has to offer is petulance and disrespect.

Did he say why Strand Larsen is likely? That one seems impossible.

I’d bite their hand off for £50m, I think he would really suit our style of play with his pace, pressing, and workrate. He needs some work in other areas but that’s why we have Eddie Howe.

Oh god

Best thing to do is embrace being a small humble club then ask how we’ve been doing against theirs.

If we qualify for Europe again after this transfer window and all the extra games it would be an astonishing achievement.

If a player has 2 years left and isn’t signing a new contract then the club has a decision to make. Will Tonali sign another contract with a midtable team? Maybe, maybe not. But yeah if we’re going backwards then our best players will be vulnerable.

He’ll have 2 years left and the club will likely go backwards this season. It doesn’t look positive.

Strand Larsen won’t be an option, Wolves aren’t going to sell us the guy their attack is built around in mid August.

I think this is agent waffle.

Wissa isn’t currently available and we don’t know if he’s going to be available.

He’s finished, he can’t stay fit.

I don’t get why we’re comfortable going without a striker for the start of the season while we wait for Brentford to maybe get another striker so that we can bid for Wissa again. I would be ditching the Wissa idea at this point, we’ve waited too long.

I’m hoping that’s why we’ve still got people sniffing around Leipzig.

Unfortunately we have to wait for Brentford to do something, and if they don’t get anyone else then we will have to go without a Wilson replacement. Our approach to Wissa is absolute buffoonery.

Going without a striker for the start of the season because we’re waiting and hoping for Brentford to sign someone is a joke. It’s aggravated me. Just buy Kalimuendo ffs.

Chelsea will fuck us around, waste our time, then keep him. I reckon he’ll play for them plenty this season and score more than Delap and Pedro.

The Sesko money is the Isak money. And maybe what we’ve made from sales is covering some losses rather than increasing the budget by a lot. I don’t really know but something doesn’t seem right.

I’ve been wondering this since the Thiaw link tbh. Are we after him because budget is limited and he seemed to be available for less this summer, rather than him being a preferred option.

We shouldn’t be waiting for them IMO, we’re taking the situation out of our own hands. I would like Wissa but there are alternatives, like the player Brentford supposedly want.

In the next 9 days we would need Brentford to sign a striker, which doesn’t seem close to happening, and us to sign Wissa.

It wouldn’t shock me if Nickson was the only one in the room that had heard of any of them.
