Wissa and Jackson for £95m (based on Hopes figures) is a better outcome than signing Sesko I reckon. 

 

 

 

If it means selling Isak, then it is a disasterclass.

Not when the AFCON hits.

At this stage Wissa is a must imo

Yep. He’s the only one who comes close to replacing Isak’s goals.

Its the only downside compared to Jackson. I was talking about the football side of it.

 

60m for Jackson may cost us less money in the long run than 35m for Wissa because of the PSR boost we could get if we moved Jackson 3-4 years down the line for someone better.

 

There's really no distinction between the money side and the football side given that PSR rules are now the primary factor dictating which footballers we are permitted to employ.

That is a fucking depressing list, like, no two ways about it.

Don't think even the Baghdad Bobs on here could argue otherwise.

Sad that even being in the CL isn't guaranteeing to buy players or retain our top ones.

 

Suppose that's the risk of having a nepo baby out of his depth dealing with transfers.

Read the posts, you fool, the reference is to Maupay.

if it's just Wissa coming in, and Isak accepts his fate, then it's fantastic. Lot of if's there though.

Agree, but we dont have a striker with CL coming up. Feels really weird writing that sentence . Wissa is the better striker at the moment so him over Jackson any day.

Having Gordon on there as a CF option 

 

He's never been effective anywhere other than the LW for us. Hoying him up front has always been a pointless exercise

It sounds like we want rid of him just as much as he wants to leave at this point. If he's going to put in performances like he did post cup final then we aren't really missing out much either.

£60m for Jackson is a better deal than Wissa for £40m IMO. 

It’s not like.

Wissa has shown that he can out chances away.

except he is still an asset worth boatloads, and Liverpool have likely acted like complete shady cunts. A statement needs to be made that we won't be bullied by the cartel even if Isak chooses to fuck himself over and phone it in.

Did Hope allude to the fact that BOTH Wissa and Jackson will miss up to 6 games over Christmas if they are both signed??

I think as a two up top it may work but on his own he looks lost. Maybe it will come with experience.

Isak staying, something like Wissa & McGinn replacing Wilson & Longstaff plus Elanga & Ramsdale in for Miggy & Dubravka and despite the noise, that's some good strengthening. Still want a centre-back but we can still salvage the situation and improve things.

[J7]

I don’t think that’s a bad list personally. We need two strikers at this point for the season ahead and there aren’t a huge amount around. They don’t need to be our forever strikers. Three of them hit double figure PL goal tallies and we need to replace about 28 goals.

We’re in this mess partly because of our ridiculously over optimistic initial targets. Honestly, if we don’t do something soon we’ll have far more to worry about this time next year than now. 

[SUPERTOON]

Who’s on the list ?

much prefer Gallagher. McGinn is fine, but his age and what Villa would likely want make him not worth it. Gallagher has a lot of room to grow, and is already a great midfielder. Howe may well turn him into a colossus.

 

Ramsdale is far from ideal, but I think that he's an absolutely massive improvement over our other backups.

Strand Larsen, muniz and Jackson for Isak.  Wissa and god knows who for Wilson but DCL was in Hopes article

- Watkins

- Wissa

Openda and Ramos are mentioned but only because we won't be going for them.

He's ripe for a Saudi sale to recoup some of that though.

Which we’ve done only once, for arguably under market value.

Jackson is the horror signing for me and it looks like it has legs. I'd reluctantly accept him as the Wilson replacement but please don"t give him the 9 jersey
