Samu looks absolutely perfect for us, criminal if we're not in for him.

 

His highlight reels and "last 50 shots" reels are OK, but I'd much rather have Watkins and Wissa. for the next 2 years and then scout the shit out of finding "another Isak".

Isak as good as gone you think?

I'd be VERY surprised if he's still here at the end of the window, yeah. 
 

The chatter I was hearing last night was how pissed off some of his teammates and staff are at him. Not really sure how he feasibly comes back from this to be honest.

[andycap]

It's getting silly nowadays like nearly every striker we look at is been met with 60 million plus.

most of them are shite aswell.

He's literally just signed for Wolves

I know what you mean, but he effectively was signed last summer.

 

He seemed a reasonable player, but we’re still operating at premium values for players we should be signing before they move to Prem. Like he’d cost £50m+, when he was a £30m signing. 
 

The dream signings I’d want in attack if we have to sell Isak and make some statements, is Ferran Torres (we can afford his wages without smashing our wage structure) and Watkins. It’s two significant attackers that replaces the goals and overall elevates our attack leaving us stronger.

 

Would need to nail the CM signing though, as we need a household name there (and CB is self explanatory).

Signing those two would be awful psr wise. Literally buying two players who will likely be released at the end of contract is pretty silly.

Someone at the club to realise he exists?

Would be nice to see some activity from us like. Sure, the Isak situation must be unsettling our plans but what the fuck are we doing

True, lad is outside of our scouting range

[The Prophet]

This Isak stuff is going to slow our incoming business from slow to glacial, right?

Fuck PSR.

Isak was a perfect signing PSR wise and this feels massively shit.

 

replace the goals now (which they’d do) and go from there.

I think so, we are kind of stuck because we don't know if he's going to be here or not. If he's not replacing him because priority number 1. 

 

It's why we need to put a hard deadline on this and tell them to kick rocks.

We can't fuck psr, we tried and it meant we donated Anderson 15m. 

 

We have to be pragmatic, we've fallen behind this window and the chances of us mounting a challenge for Cl qualification are looking rough.

It shouldn't do as we have money to spend, but it probablies will. With the chuckle brothers in charge of negotiations.

I still don't understand that argument. Surely signing two almost guaranteed premier league goalscorers is exactly what will help build our revenue long term. And I don't buy that, if Watkins and Wissa performed well for two years for us, we couldn't recoup a decent chunk of change from someone... Saudi or wherever. 

 

We need to attack this season with the aim of another Top 5 or 6 finish. In my opinion, we aren't going to remotely give ourselves the best chance with unproven players like the Porto lad or Sesko. We're much more likely to have a couple of good years, with players who WANT to be here, with players like Watkins or Wissa. Both, also, crucially have good fitness records.

Watkins and wissa will give us just as much of a chance of champs league next season as any.

 

get them in, who knows what happens with the apt case or with a new sporting director in the meantime.

 

id much rather Watkins than a Sesko type who’ll put us back here in 12/24 months.

Looking at Wilson and Isak that’s priceless.
