Kimbo Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 I’m one of the few people that actually rates Jackson, but their valuation is pure Saudi bait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 (edited) Quote Talk of their valuation being £50m for Wissa is understood to be inaccurate. It is not price that is holding up any particular deal but rather the issue of not being prepared to weaken their squad so significantly by allowing Wissa to go without an adequate replacement in the building. This was as clear as day the moment Man United met the asking price for Mbeumo. I'm honestly astonished at how seemingly born yesterday our recruitment members are acting.

Alberto2005 Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 £65m on Jackson! He's not worth anywhere near that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its 65 sesko and 80 Jackson 🫢🤣 who would have thought this was where we would be after the end of the season we just had.

His finishing is far too erratic and he seems to look half arsed with his finishes, at times. But at the same time, I don't think he is anywhere near as bad as people make out. Not worth that much, mind. Even though his numbers are pretty decent. I also thought similar about Nunez at first. But he hasn't improved and if anything, has got worse.

It is not price that is holding up any particular deal but rather the issue of not being prepared to weaken their squad so significantly by allowing Wissa to go without an adequate replacement in the building. Wissa, who is desperate to move to Newcastle and play Champions League, is not currently training with the Brentford first team and is understood to be unhappy at the deal having stalled. But negotiations have been cordial and it’s understood that Newcastle’s valuation is considered fair which leaves the door open to a deal if Brentford believe they have replacement options that will shore up their forward line ahead of the Premier League campaign. It's going to be one we revist end of August surely? Like sign a different striker anyway, and if worse happens and Isak goes, you then go back in for Wissa? Surely we don;t now sit back and wait it to end of August just for Wissa. Could theoretically only have Osula starting first 2 league games, or even worse, Gordon shoved up front again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only presume we're led entirely by targets we specifically want on our list and agents inviting interest - without ever considering the market specifics and timing that will make it very unlikely for a club willing to sell for a reasonable price. Other times you're pushing at open doors with deals - and we seem to have completely lost the ability to spot when this is the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 Jackson is also fine if it was signing him when Chelsea did in the first place. There's now no value in it for us to sign him now. Our scouts / data must indicate there's similar profile in Europe we can sign? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently on a pittance wage-wise too. I suppose before long we'll run out of Premier League strikers to throw bids at so he'll be along eventually Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you actually pull up their data, which all of these clubs use, the two are not too dissimilar, with Ekitike playing in the Bundesliga and Jackson in the Premier League. Jackson is seen as a poor finisher but Ekitike underperformed his expected goals to a greater degree in a "lesser" league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the general need to have every transfer be a hit due to PSR is it not also that we do a nuts amount of groundwork on very specific targets and so pivoting isn’t that easy to do? It’s hard to imagine Howe approving signings that haven’t been thoroughly vetted. The lengths we go to might be even deeper after the Tonali stuff.

That's why it's imperative to hold onto Isak unless we get enough money to pay over the top prices for lesser players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 The difference in this matter, is the player wants to come here; this has not been the issue on previous lost targets. Money will sort this one way or the other - ifwe lose this guy, all else will be reactionary and not any forward planning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 28, 2025 Share Posted July 28, 2025 Feel quite encouraged by that update if it's true. I'm pretty sure Brentford can data mine a lad from the continent who's probably good enough to score a few goals and keep them locked in mid-table. That's the gift of having no ambition beyond financial stability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
