BoSelecta Posted July 23, 2025 Share Posted July 23, 2025 Looks like a fantastic buy to me, hope we get him. AFCON aside he ticks a lot of boxes for us and contrary to some of the drivel being spouted it shows a sensible transfer strategy: miss out on the high ceiling, low age players on our list and pivot to a cheaper sure thing for the position. Fingers crossed they can get it wrapped up and let’s see who they fancy for the high ceiling RCB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted July 23, 2025 Share Posted July 23, 2025 Wissa seems like a very sound option if we can get it done. 2 or 3 good seasons from him and he'd still have some value after that. Strikers are always the most expensive players and at £30-£40m that would be a bargain, especially as it's the one area we have little to no cover. Chuck in Osula for the odd 30 mins here and there or in cup games and we're definitely stronger than last season. A new CB and midfielder and we're ready to go. It's not an ideal squad as you'd want a keeper too, but we're not able to have ideal. We haven't lost much with the players who have gone, but we've definitely gained with Elanga so far.

Potentially £100m+ burning a hole in their pocket. McAtee/Dibling for RW. Could hijack Roma’s move for Ferguson. Wilson on a free. I know he’s been linked with us but Rudoni from Cov to replace Norgaard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 23, 2025 Share Posted July 23, 2025 (edited) I don't know if it's because we've been stung so many times this window, but "preparing a bid" briefings make me nervous.

Zero Posted July 23, 2025 Share Posted July 23, 2025 I would be honest, he is only fine, and why we should go for him now is because we have been fucking shit last 60 days. We have close to no options left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So more or less exactly the level of player we should be targeting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a rotation option and for me Wissa is excellent for that bracket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking a player who knows he will be backup to Isak but accepts that and is more than good enough to stake his own claim for the starting spot when he plays in cup games etc as Isak will absolutely need rotating in the league at times also.

KDT Posted July 23, 2025 Share Posted July 23, 2025 (edited) Ideally we would have Wissa as 2nd choice & sign another Osula type & have him as 3rd choice. This would then allow Osula to go out on loan for a season to play regularly and learn his trade a bit, it would possible knock some of the rawness out of him.

They both managed this at clubs that weren't as good as Newcastle, and so they will be surrounded by better players and playing for a better manager this time around. It's quite an exciting prospect for me personally. For others not so much I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
