STM Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 33 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: Strand Larsen now then if its doable. 35+5 is more than fair for Wissa and it's more than fair for a club in Brentford's position to turn it down, so I think it's impasse time and we should look at someone else. If Wolves quote us 70m for Strand-Larsen, Wissa for 45 will look more appealing. Thats the problem, we are in a place where overpaying for a player is now inevitable.

gbandit Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 And yet we’re expected to receive an under-valuation offer for our player when we have no replacements Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 We are going to have to overpay for someone, not sure who I’d prefer at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm all in on Wissa. Anything below 50m and id get it done. Yes its a massive overpay but going into the season without a recognised striker will cost us more than the 10/15m we over pay by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 The offer feels performative tbh. It was always going to be rejected. "Oh well, guess we'll have to put up with each other for a bit longer eh, Isak." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its a massive overpay but going into the season without a recognised striker will cost us more than the 10/15m we over pay by. Agree completely. Not ideal but Wissa for 2-3 years I think would be super motivated and would fit our style of play. We'd get around 15 goals a season from him provided he stays injury free, and could then recoup maybe £20 million from Saudi when we sell him. £30m net plus wages for a player who will help keep our forward momentum and give us room to breathe while we replace Isak longer-term is OK by me, especially if we also keep Isak. We've then got a striker for the coming months and with the pressure off we can deal with Isak more calmly. If Wissa comes in and takes his mantle, scoring goals regularly, it should motivate him enough to get off the bench. If the worst happens and we fold to an improved Liverpool offer at least we've got goals in the team, AFCON-aside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 Realistically, the Jackson loan deal is the only one that seems plausible after this. We aren't signing from abroad at this late stage and the others are going to be overpriced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magpie Mover Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 Brentford are playing us like a fiddle, most people have this summer. Putting in such a low offer can only mean that we are hoping that Wissa continues to spit out the dummy and drives the price down. Exactly the same as Isak is doing. Pay the 45m plus that it would take or walk away. The club remains a shambles off the pitch and soon on it if we don't buy at least one striker.

Novocastrian Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 That’s more than a reasonable offer for a player who will be 30 next season and a free agent in 12 months. Walk away and let Brentford sort out that shit show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 I think this offer was reasonable given his age, Brentford just don’t want to and don’t need to sell. If they were looking to sell him this close to the deadline they would give us a number to try and reach, instead of risking us walking away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 I was hoping that we already had a deal in place with Brentford and we were patiently waiting for them to bring someone in, not us parking it for weeks when we were nowhere near a deal.
