Those verbal agreements aren't worth the paper they're written on

Every man and his dog knows you get it in writing. It's called a contract.

We didn't promise Isak a move away so I don't see how it's the same scenario personally.

 

Exactly. Isak has only decided he wants out after Liverpool interest too. If it was really about the contract he'd have made that known early in the window not 3 weeks before the season starts 

[duo]

In fairness to Brentford him going along with Mbuembo leaves them canny short up front.  So can understand their stance.  We don't know what was agreed but like Geordie Ahmed I don't like players refusing to train/play.

"Was, is and remains" and phrases like it are another one that's weirdly overused this window.

What’s that Lassie? Trouble at the old paper mill?

Fair play Lassie I usually skip that bit.

[James]

Just tell him to strike on the grounds that if Liverpool can tell Isak to strike then we can. See how that goes down

[Holmesy]

We're so good at this! Very impressive

I'm ok with us selling parking lots to ourselves for 500m but I don't want us to be the kind of team that derails another teams summer like this. A deal can be worked out, or it can't. It apparently can't. So we should just move on.

[Boey_Jarton]

Given their summer, Brentford are well within their rights to play hardball on this one like.

I'm sure we've "moved on" but the offer is still on the table.

Aye, they’ll be in massive trouble this season regardless.

But he'll be our snake.

More like Yoane Hissa amirite?

[kingxlnc]

That also works loosely with Hissak

[kingxlnc]

It works best with Boa Morte though

[oldtype]

This goes for both Isak and Wissa, but these “I won’t report and won’t play” threats are so incredibly hollow. Preseason tours are whatever, but nobody is skipping real matches and throwing away a year of their prime, and potentially tanking their appeal to the very elite clubs they’re trying to get a move to.

 

I’m sure it’s happened at some point, but it’s incredibly rare and usually a sign of terrible judgment.

You must think Liverpool will get Isak for cheaper on that basis?

I think it’ll be around the £120m+ addons mark (maybe around £135-£140 total).

[Kid Icarus]

Just had a deek at the Brentford forum and their Wissa thread is very similar to our Isak one.

"The protracted transfer is still possible, according to sources close to the matter."

Also, Andy Howe doing the negotiations. 

 

 

 

This BBC link says Andy Howe is now the acting sporting director. Eddie got Mitchel to leave, and his nephew’s stepped straight in to take over .

Sounds like we have a new guy lined up though. 

[Guest]

I've been talking about this and how this has been seen in the background of the club on here for 2 years. Not surprised in the slightest and we have sleepwalked into this. 

[toon25]

Absolutely no point in buying from PL teams these days unless you're paying silly money 

[Crimson Cardigan]

Hang on a second, if Brentford promised to sell him for 26m and he only agreed to stick around for the season to help them through the Toney shaped hole in the first team, that’s unbelievably shoddy from Brentford to renege, verbal or not, and a long way from the mooted contract for Isak 

.

[Jonas]

He was probably sold on Brentford as a stepping stone if he performs so probably has more right to feel aggreived than Isak who was sold a project that would have happened but for the conspiring against us.
