It’s not even bias as not seen enough of him. Haven’t been blown away with anything he’s shown me but maybe he’s just not that type of player. I just worry about wasting our limited PSR headroom on what feels a plan E striker. Will always trust in Howe and the scouts end of the day. Disagree with your point we are creating crosses of any note. 1 each game both half chances over the bar by Gordon.

Because we’ve switched target to JSL due to high price.

BEK from Leicester.

I’ve posted this anecdote before but in the book The Secret Footballer one of the chapters kinda dispelled the myths of the bidding process. Basically the fee is agreed in private then both clubs agree on a strategy for the sellers to make it look like they dug in and the buyers made to look like they’ve getting a bargain. Don’t think this anecdote applies in the Premier League anymore. Especially with us

Yep. Only one who hasn’t sat on the fence unlike all the others

That’s eye watering. Not having a dig. Just thinking… bonkers!

Seems to be. Obviously the ownership could be using him for their own gain.

It would fit with the information he’s constantly relayed from the club all summer.

Big call that 😬

Also he told those that couldn’t see it Sesko would go to Man Utd and how it would play out step by step almost

Spreading them if the details of Thiaw deal are to be believed hence the higher price we paid overall.

Nope. No player is going to majorly impact the Leeds fixture you’d imagine. Will go to the last day and see if Chelsea comes down in price for Jackson then you’ve a straight 3-way shoot out you’d imagine

I’m his No.1 fan 👍🏻

We don’t need a world class striker. What we do need is to make some decent chances. 2 games. 2 great performances (personal opinion… or 1 very good and 1 great) yet when you take a step back we’ve created very little either game. The best chance we’ve had over two games two centre halves collided and it presented Elanga with it.

By 3 months I’ll give … but we bought Isak today bizarrely… 3yrs ago

Took me seconds…

Was near the start of him joining. Also like I say get out of your cave and do some reading and you’ll see I’m right.

And why they should continue down that route. I’m ok with one stop gap but two just feels wrong and will cause us problems further down the line.

Find it yourself your lazy sod. Was on TV if it helps

Wolves only paid it two weeks ago. He ain’t been that big of revelation The optics if nothing else are awful. Like Boumsong to Rangers for free then £6m to us 6 months later … Wissa is a bit old to be saying it’s a breakthrough year. JSL is also IMO. We should be constantly be looking to reduce the age of the squad in every position to prepare for a PSR buy to sell future. Isak is younger than both his likely replacements

Eales for starters but it’s been the much reported figure even as recent as last week all summer from anyone briefed by the club. Where you been?

Well yes to a degree as none of the deals agreed Here’s what I’ve based them off for clarity though: Wissa’s agent informed us a gentleman’s agreement of £26m which if we are all being honest before the window everyone would’ve said a win all round for a player of his age, his service to Brentford and for us using him to rest Isak. By all accounts it’s £50m+ hence the £24m. Wolves have just signed JSL a few weeks ago for £27m and will be looking for £60+m hence the £33m. We have said all along we ain’t picking phone up for Isak deal unless it’s over £150m. I’ve heard nothing to show me that Liverpool will jump the extra £40m+ but I’ve been generous and rounded it up to £30m as it stands…

Do they though? Still think we should look at a creative goal scoring midfielder instead. We create so little. Create more chances and less need to take everyone. Particularly without a focal point striker.

So we are going to overpay for JSL by £33m and Wissa £24m and sell Isak for less than £30m we want? Doesn’t strike me as the best move if I’m being honest
