Definitely room for Howe to get more out of him and back to his previous levels at Fiorentina. I've seen bits of Vlahovic, he seems to have good feet for a big man.

STM Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 Im actually chill on this. The more we dont get a striker, the more Isak has to stay, which is the outcome i want. I'm not sure how it will pan out but I just dont want him getting his way. I know that leaves us in a pickle up front but what we cant do is panic buy. If we are going to panic buy, we might as well pay the extra whack for Wissa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 Time to make a statement signing. Sell Isak for £150M and buy Mbappe for £200M. It's as easy and simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I’m now more confused than I was before haha! IIRC he is co-owned by 2 clubs 50-50. Porto and I believe Athletic Madrid. Numerous agents also possibly. So basically not ideal if you are trying to get a deal done in the final throws of the window especially when it’s widely known you are desperate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll get Wissa in the end, maybe pay a little more than hoped and Isak has to come out of hiding for a season. I think that would represent a pretty solid window.

andycap Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 Wissa-brentford want crackers money. Jackson-chelsea want crackers money. Larsen-just signed for wolves. Vlahovic-available. Vardy-available. Munoz-not for sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 I dont think we will panic buy but in the last week of the window we will be prepared to hit the big red button that has Plan B (or plan G or wherever we are at) and start looking for a more fruity option like a Vlahovic on loan or an Ivan Toney or even a last minute big money move for Watkins. What's important is doing our prep work so we know what's available, so we can move quickly late on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 (edited) I think Wissa will come in in the end like has been said, maybe we can make that work and try and do our homework on a big deal for a top man in January, I know that's a tough window to deal in, but I think it will be tough either way especially if get the Isak money. Edit: tough because clubs will know we have a fortune and will rinse us. Edited August 18, 2025 by Tiotes Witch Doctor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 These Portuguese clubs absolutely rinse us English teams on prices like. I'd stay away from them. They signed him for what? 20mill and they'd have your eye out for close to 100 mill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
