*effectively two years left

Cheers! Is this something to do with an option to extend it? Heard it mentioned but didn't know what the conditions of it were. Take it that BFC can just trigger it then.

Aye, basically Brentford have an option to extend, which they’ll obviously take if he doesn’t go this summer.

 

At this point it just means everyone’s effectively negotiating as if he has two years rather than one year left.

Terrible name aside, he's one of the most reliable accounts on Twitter. 

 

He is also a massive Brentford fan like.

I follow TransferChecker, after some links a while back from Statsbomb Kev.

He, I assume its he, absolutely nailed Eze to Arsenal. Said it would happen weeks ago and that Eze would only go to Spurs if Arsenal didn't commit.

He has also said all along that Isak is not for sale for a discounted price. That's a rare call for non NUFC pundits.

It is not a scattergun site posting different rumours every day for engagement.

 

 

We have a clear run at Wissa and should really get this done.

If it gets done, I reckon it’ll be after the Liverpool match, to avoid Romano/Ornstein stirring the pot again with “Wissa in, paving way for Isak’s transfer! He Only Wants Liverpool!” before the big game.

I think TC is actually a Brentford fan, he’s always maintained that Wissa to NUFC gets done. Also that the ‘£60m’ price tag is wide of the mark.

I guess at some point you have to start considering the cost of not having a striker rather than the value of the individual you’re getting. 

 

 

Eggheads and bean counters who know their shit when it comes to economic theories refer to it as the "Opportunity Cost"

Shame if this deal was there to be done but because we are haggling over the price we won't have him in for Liverpool. 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

It's weird that it's now about price when before it was because they didn't have a replacement.

This one seems like the most ready made to slot in type of signing. Which is what we need, the team will create chances, we just need someone reliable to convert.

 

If the hold up is squabbling over a few million, just pay it. Every game between now and the window closing are potential 3 points that we’ll be dropping, how much is that worth?

Not sure about this. I guess meet the price if indeed they have been told one and if it's then some other reason pull the plug 

[SteV]

Hope says it’s “D-Day” today with regard to this, and we want answers (not sure to what questions mind) or we are officially ready to MOVE ON.

[TRon]

Hopefully we'll move on to Jackson if they are not willing to sell at what is already an expensive deal PSR wise.

Brentford just doing a Palace with Wissa as they did with Guehi, call it a day, unfortunately for Wissa he will lose out.

[Matt1892]

Yoane Wissa has returned to training with the Brentford squad and the striker could face Crystal Palace this weekend, head coach Keith Andrews says.

The 28-year-old missed last weekend's Premier League opening-day defeat at Nottingham Forest as he had been training away from the squad after saying he wished to leave the club.

A second bid from Newcastle United worth up to £40m for the DR Congo forward was rejected this week.

I suppose this settles the “is Wissa less of a dick than Isak” debate.

Wouldn't be surprised if we've said to his reps, get the fucker back into training or we walk away, doesn't make our job playing hardball with Isak any easier if we sign someone doing similar (however different the circumstances).

I still think this gets done

Same. Think it may even go down to the end of next week/last day, but ultimately think it will happen. 

[KetteringMag]

Looking forward to the meltdown on socials when he’s in their squad tomorrow

How many "24-48 hours" have past since the deal was likely to be concluded in the next 24-48 hours?

 

Transfer journalists have warped my sense of time.

I think they meant 24, 48hrs.
