Yoane Wissa

[Stifler]

Not on that, and it is showing that Isak’s actions is resulting in other players taking the stance.

Desperate for the pay cheque - It is no different to Isak - who was happy to sign a new contracts 12 months ago but now eyes a bumper pay cheque.  It's all about the money.

 

Well you could argue it's probably his last chance to play for a big club and in the CL, and footballers do tend to want that.

It's in no worse a place than it's been for the last 20 years other than we now have PSR shackles to prevent any challenge to the cartel. 

 

It's at its lowest ebb for me.

Last chance, I want someone with a future.

Two situations are completely different:

 

Case A:

 

Players ducks friendlies with injury (in pain but scans clear)

 

Player ducks tour with aforesaid injury

 

Player fucks off to train in Spain without permission.

 

Media circus ensues (probably a directed circus)

 

Player states want's to explore options.

 

Media circus intensifies.

 

Player states via 3rd parties wants to leave for Liverpool.

 

Liverpool lowball offer.

 

Player goes on strike.

 

Player issues me, me, me, statement.

 

Case B:

 

Player comes to understanding with club (evidenced in writing allegedly) to explore options.

 

Player identifies new club and club makes "fair" offer.

 

Brentford reject offer/raise price.

 

Player throws toys from pram and quits training camp.

 

Further offer received/rebuffed and Brentford state nothing possible until replacement sourced.

 

Player resumes training with team.

 

Replacement acquired.

 

Further offer made - rebuffed because "oh we didn't mean THAT replacement".

 

Player still training.

 

Brentford quote thoroughly ridiculous asking price.

 

Player still training.

 

Player issues respectful (to club and fans) and detailed statement.

 

Just utterly incomparable, player shits on a club v club shits on player.

 

 

You forgot the Facebook mum strop of deleting every mention and photo relating to Brentford from his social media 

[oldtype]

I don’t feel great about what Wissa is doing either but I have to say, that is somehow still a much better statement than Isak’s  

[TheHoob]

Transfer by U Ok Hun Instagram posts shouldn't be a thing like, hope this isn't a new trend FFS.

It’s barely even fun now. I’ve seen more footage and comment on two VAR decisions than I’ve seen goals this weekend. 
 

Everything in football is PSR related. Selling players is about profit and book value, buying players is about resale value. 29 year olds are as good as on the scrap heap for clubs worrying about PSR

 

Clubs buying and swapping clubs with sister clubs 

this window has been exhausting. It used to be fun buying & selling players 

 

prices for tickets, kits etc are thru the roof 

 

and even the CL draw was contrived game show shite 

 

[toon25]

Don't want him. His club wants to keep him and they're entitled to do so as per the conditions of his contract.

 

What he's done here is no different to Isak, behaviour that we should have nothing to do with.

[Kid Icarus]

What a bellend. 

 

Hope we do the same to Isak. A reasonable offer is what the selling club decides, it's that simple.

£65 Million for a 29 year old (nearly) even if he had 3 years left on his contract is an unreasonable ask IMO but with 10 months left it's outrageous..

 

 

He doesn’t have ten months. He has a year and ten months.

The shit Chelsea are pulling is also properly grim. They're not even a club anymore, just a stable of assets. How anyone can support that I don't know.

[duo]

I would be so disappointed in Newcastle if they still pursued Wissa after that stunt.  Just sends out the wrong message.

[Miggys First Goal]

I can’t remember exactly, but did Gordon do the same at Everton (downing tools) before joining us?

 

I vaguely recall him doing something that made our fans question his actions. 

[frankpingel]

Aye slightly less of a silly that but these agents need to earn there coin better. In writing that he can leave is great but no agreement on the price is unbelievably lax.

[ED209]

Another complete tube. Don’t want him, as bad as isak and Judas. 

[gbandit]

I haven’t wanted Wissa at any stage of the window but the money being talked about for him is absolutely absurd now. Parallel universe shit 

[Miggys First Goal]

But aye, summer of statements is fucking rank. Some of the most privileged people on the planet and they’re acting like utter cunts. They need to remember how fucking good they’ve got it.

I've been banging on about it for ages, so I won't bore everyone with my ramblings again.

 

But the capitalisation of the game has completely fucked it. Fans have less accessibility than ever, then when they do watch, have to endure a competition ran by a cartel of investment managers and have their match day experience ruined by referees.  Burn it down and start again please.

[OverThere]

Copy and paste from Isak. Must I have gone to the same school of dickish ness

Yes, but went under the radar a bit because he joined us a few days later

Well, not really. Market value, taking into account contract length, has to influence what a ‘reasonable’ offer is. Fair market value is probably a better phrase, but it still has a deal of subjectivity in it also.

This is just a new evolution of football agent tactics as far as I am concerned. Football clubs have complained about their antics for decades now, it's just evolved to a more sophisticated and obnoxious stage with this sort of behaviour. 

[Rosenrot]

I’m a solicitor and for what it’s worth I would never advise a client that “reasonable offer” meant anything other than fuck all

It is what the selling club, not Wissa, deem ‘reasonable’ and that number surely only goes up the later into the window it goes?
