Buying Wissa for £55m is not intelligent. For not much more you can probably get 24 year old Jackson.

A 24 year old Jackson who is no where near the goalscorer Wissa is.

 

We could have gotten loads of better deals on forwards, but Wissa is about as a sure thing as you'll get to score goals in this league.

[La Parka]

If he joins that's the big man small man sorted.

 

I bet we see 5-3-2 more this season 

[Nucasol]

Fee agreed £55m to Graves on SSN. Citing Lee Clark as this being the greatest ever NUFC window.

He can play from wide as well.

We need to see the final fee and the contract length so we can guage the actual cost. I highly doubt we give him a 5 year deal and thus the payment will be spread over a shorter term. 

 

So if it's a 3 year deal the cost is higher than BFG.

Wissa has been a great goalscorer for 1 season.

People kicking off about paying £55 million for Wissa but would happily pay £65 million for Watkins. Wissa has 2 years on his contract really and scored 19 open play goals last season and 4 assists. Watkins scored 16 not sure if any of them are penalties 

Watkins is a fine player, but led "big chances missed" last year, despite not scoring that many.

Relative to goals scored, DCL kills this stat, so I think its a meaningful one that matches the eye test.

From open play, Wissa was clinical than Isak in 24/25. His behaviour marks him out as only slightly less of a prick than Isak, which is a big shame, but I'll trust Eddie on that one.

 

I don't like the prices, but Wissa and Woltemade is an upgrade on Wilson and Isak. We should have got more for PSR out of it, maybe 20M, and the club would be wise to sort the backroom people out. And the commercial revenue people. And the get-the-stadium-built people. They are locking out 10,000 plus every game.

 

Two very good strikers in though means this is disaster averted and probably a very good window. Shame about the seven points that were there for the taking. And the Gordon suspension, and the Big Joe injury.

[Teasy]

Excellent signing if it goes through.  Very happy with Wissa, even though we're overpaying a bit given his ages and contract status.

[Geordie Magpie]

££5m agreed Pete says, shows how Sky are these days behind on things.

£55M !

Losing our best player, Mandy and Mehrdad - and our standards have already fallen back to Ashley era levels, signing an old french winger.

It’s a great window TBH, if you factor in the chaos caused by Isak it’s incredible work to come out with a stronger squad and a lot of dead wood shifted. 
 

That said, the first team could well end up being slightly worse for a while, which is difficult to get your head around. 

[Dr.Spaceman]

We need to get 2 or 3 years out of him and then receive a decent enough fee (15 million or so). At that point how much would this transfer have cost us? I don't think it's too "bad" if we turn around at that point and say this transfer has cost us 20 million, assuming he scores double digits each season I think this deal is completely fine.

 

I'm not crying, honestly 

[JT24]

Fuck it, I’m back in. Let’s go!

[Rosenrot]

If we sell him to Saudi in a couple of years for £60m we are fine

[andycap]

Put it this way he wants to come to us, he is a proven goalscorer in this league and if he bangs them in this year and we get champions league again it's money we'll spent.

in that time hopefully woltemade is adjusted and progressing well in his first season in English football.

For a player worth £150m

150m for someone who's scored 1 goal in the Champ League?

 

This place would be going mental about overpaying if was flipped 

 

Seen people talk about Wissa's lack of European football which is pretty ironic

[NufcJ]

Yikes 55 million but needs must and im sure he will do good for us.

Don’t be fucking stupid man. Jesus. 
 

Honestly we don’t deserve decent owners.

It's weird how the brain works like. Why does £50m feel good and £55m feel extortionate?
