Alexander Isak - International C*nt

[Kid Icarus]

I mean look at this man. This is what we're going in for?

 

Spending 50% of the fee on 50% the player, 29, afcon locked, with the same toxic traits

 

Or a player who's literally not for sale

For all the criticism he gets. Levy wouldn’t have folded like this. Spurs is his baby. We don’t have anyone like that. 

Mostly agree with this, disagree in that Levy didn't have to worry about PSR when in a similar situation with Kane or Bale.

Spurs previous financial issues have been due to lack of cash for a while after building the stadium.

The rules now say our owners can't put money in. Our owners' companies can't do it due to generous sponsorships either.

If anything the "letting Milan sell us a dude about to be sent up the river for gambling" part demonstrates incompetence, not the opposite. We just got very lucky that he turned out to be a world beater after that.

 

Is that "very lucky" or good scouting though?

That would be the third highest fee in the history of the game - it’s not a bargain price at all.  How many players if they were sold would fetch that?  Haaland is the only other PL player I can think of who’d likely see a club pay it. 

Not many but not many players are world class. The thing with historical deals is they are historical and today's price isn't yesterdays price. 

 

Who are his peers? Haaland? Who is better than him? How much would they cost? 3 years left and no clauses?

Levy worries about actual profit mind. Not paper profit. But actual profit. He’s frugal as fuck. Spurs often actually make money. Spurs is Levy’s cash cow. He’s in this for actual profit.

Hope Krath gives him a lovely reducer in training next week.

We don't have psr issues as of now.

It is just mental the club have buckled - just struggling to comprehend it.  It has made PIF / Club look very weak / amateurs 

[alexf]

Plus Spurs, Villa and West Ham all got the added homegrown bonus of their big sales aswell. We won't. It's not a game changing sale every thought it would be when it finally happened. We will still need to sell in up coming windows to keep spending.

No matter how impressive we thought he was, not a chance in hell we would have bought him if we knew what was about to happen. We got lucky in the sense that he turned out to be so much better than anyone expected that it was totally worth it to wait a year.

[OverThere]

Wissa at 65m would put the cherry on the cake of this farce

It's not mental, we are poorly ran and are filled to the brim with people who are incompetent.

That I agree with, we have until the end of June to sort any shortfall out if there is one.

[Dr Feelgood]

Get Wissa signed ffs.

 

Don't forget that Wissa scored the same number of goals from open play that the rat did last season, whilst playing in an inferior team. 

 

Wissa + Woltemade are an impressive duo, who would give us much better options in many ways.

Again, it’s not really comparable to Wissa. This was a bigger, badder situation all round. We didn’t deliver on a bigger contract and he wanted out and fucked us.

 

Wissa is also not one of the best strikers in the world, wouldn’t have cost a hundred million plus and Brentford didn’t have Liverpool breathing down their necks. The situations are not comparable.

 

Nothing good would have come from him staying. 

 

 

 

You're missing my point. Their worth as players and their circumstances don't matter, how they acted is nigh on identical, how their clubs - both of who had power - responded, is night and day

exactly. But we have a massive issue of goals right now. And we are now relying on a 23 year old who is starting to really blossom into something special, but still needs work. We'd be mad to leave it up to Woltemade to replace the bulk of Isak's goals and assists from the off. If we do indeed have a new striker coming in, this is still bullshit, but at least we won't be setting Isak's replacement up to fail.

[Ronaldo]

Even money now for Wissa to stay at Brentford.

I think he's been training.

 my arse fell out reading the title just now.

 This was always my thinking too. How many number 9's out there are better than him when he's in form? Haaland? Mbappe?

 

Now ask their clubs if they would let them go at peak age and with 3 years left on their deal for £125m to a league rival who you basically have guaranteed will now go on to win even more titles because of it.

 

Would be laughed out the building even if the player was threatening to not play. 

I just don't get how that player power has been allowed to engineer us to have to sell one of the best players in the world for way less than his value to us is. 

 

It's so depressing.

We've had a power outage offshore. I'm just catching up. Fook me. I have no words

Stay safe mate. 

[Stottie]

If we don't have a deal ready to go on a competent striker, who like Isak until an hour ago may be officially "not for sale", it's a disaster.

Going into the season with Big Nick and Osula only would be throwing away the CL qualification.

 

[Gottlob]

I know that others have broached this, but why have we buckled? It feels like there has been an air of inevitably about this ever since he announced his desire to explore a move. Is it because we did promise him something, or because we do have PSR concerns at least now having spent money on Thiaw, Ramsey and Woltemade? Did we think we might eke another season out of him only for the relationship to irrevocably sour?
