Eh? Is he not in the last year of his contract? Or have I imagined that?

 

Brentford have an option to extend for a year.

Yes Alex we miss out on targets because our growth has been strangled by the cartel clubs well done for them. 

[JP]

This window has been crackers so far and we've signed 1 player

 

[ponsaelius]

Don't vibe with Wissa signing personally and think it's likely to cost us too much to be worth going for. Could see it dragging on as well given the age and price demands.

Wissa AT the right price would be ideal, he doesn't have the stature or injury record to suggest he'll slow down too much in the next 5 years.

 

£35m and I'd be happy.

 

That would be the perfect price. It's also hugely below what he's worth.

 

If I were a Brentford fan and we sold the player who scored 31 goals in the last two seasons for £35M I'd be fucking rioting.

 

If we can get him somewhere between £50M and £40M, preferably under £45M that's fine. He's worth a four year deal at that price, no doubt about it.

It would be massive change in strategy signing Wissa mind, and a complete change of direction in profile as well. 

[SUPERTOON]

At least it seems we are trying to move qucily after the Ekitike set back. 

[Optimistic Nut]

Wonder if "getting our business done early" included getting our bids in for our first choices to force the clubs with more money's hands (Man U/Cunha, Chelsea/Pedro, Liverpool/Ekitike)?

 

Frustrating but still leaves plenty of time and we'll no doubt have great options lined up.

Not to get ahead of myself but it would align with exactly what id expect to a degree. Manager led transfers will generally lead to a more short term focus which is entirely understandable. 

[Andy84]

We have a strategy but sometimes you have to do something outside of it when the circumstances dictate

Seems "Crooky" is going it alone on that line  Had a brief look at a couple of Spurs forums and they seem unbothered by us going for Wissa, they're mostly laughing at the idea of it blocking Manure getting Mbeumo.

Aye, tend to agree with this.

 

Whatever we're doing, we could do with getting a move on. 

[Fenham Mag]

One question we need to ask, is Wissa interested in the Newcastle project?

 

[HayDen Traces]

Wissa at £40m is decent value if he repeats last seasons form

[ponsaelius]

He's just not worth that much in a PSR world IMO, regardless of his goal record. At the end of a 4 year deal his value is approaching nil ala Callum Wilson. 

 

Our entire model has been targeting 20-24 so their value goes up and holds for when it comes to renewal or sale.

Quite different situations I think, Delap was an opportunistic signing at a low fee. Wissa isn't the typical striker, he is capable both out wide and in a more playmaker style role with his ball-carrying abilities. He's a lot more versatile and dynamic than Sesko or Ramos.

 

Hmmm. Maybe.

 

Think Wissa is more of a striker/left winger though. Not really a playmaker in the Pedro and Ekitike mould.

When we think about "resale value" obviously £40m+ for a 28/29 year old isn't going to offer much of that, but perhaps we think there are enough players in the squad now with resale value (and more arrivals still to come) that we don't need to think about resale value for every signing?

 

In isolation, a striker with 31 PL goals in the last two seasons would be a more than adequate backup/support to Isak

[HayDen Traces]

Tbf to Downie, he said last week we should ignore Ekitike and go for Wissa. Turns out he could have gotten that spot on.

Even if you look back at Wilson, one of the biggest mistakes we've made is not trying to flog him when we could have. 

 

For me it's simple we have to buy players who can appreciate in value and it should be none negotiable at this stage. 

 

One of the issues we have is all of that first tranche of players Bruno aside are practically worthless.

Exactly if all this was playing out in late August, we’d be in a far worse position.

[SUPERTOON]

With the attempted signings/interest in Cunha, Pedro and Ekitike i assumed a formation change was coming. Wissa would probably mean more of the same.

Alex Crook knows absolutely nothing, and whenever I see him I can’t help but be reminded of the guy at uni who was fat, sweat 100% of the time, had greasy hair, had a drunken farts smell coming from him, yet the lasses in my class loved him because he was gay despite in his own words saying ‘I don’t even like gay people, it’s a means to an end’.

He looks exactly like him.

Not something we will be strategically hanging our hat on but Wissa is a Muslim - potentially increasing the possibility of recouping funds via Saudi Arabia in a few years?
