In any case it would be one striker anyway. Isak coming back is a bonus. I mean, genuinely speaking, we all know, the club won’t sign 2 strikers, and I think even if we let Isak go, we would still only got one of Larsson or Wissa. The club obviously doesn’t want to pay higher than the market price for two strikers. If they are willing to, we won’t be having this crisis. The scenario that we signed two strikers simply doesn’t exist anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be comfortable going into the season with one decent striker and Osula as backup - i think Osula offers far more than Wilson did towards the end.

Zero Posted August 27, 2025 Share Posted August 27, 2025 Yep, even if we would bring in another ST it would be Jan. We won’t rush for two ST before 31 Aug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 27, 2025 Share Posted August 27, 2025 Im gonna say it. We are trying to sign Wissa and JSL so we can sell Isak. As soon as we sign one, Liverpool will put a serious bid in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hired the data nonce from Atalanta for that express purpose, one would think. The only thing is that the club really wanted to consolidate its position after a really good season, so we're going for the "safe bets" while we had some money to spend. Just didn't work out because every club richer than us were after the exact same players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction is we only get one of them and close the business, receive Liverpools bid around 140m, and reject it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kocunar Posted August 27, 2025 Share Posted August 27, 2025 (edited) I understand this is a big season for us and we want to sign EPL proven strikers, but it really feels like at this point, the amount of money we are willing to offer, we could sign basically any striker we want from top 5 leagues outside of the big ones.

Kimbo Posted August 27, 2025 Share Posted August 27, 2025 I feel like Chelsea would only sell us Andrey Santos with a load of buyback and sell-on clauses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
