Jackson - who never showed any desire to join NUFC. Apposed to a player who was desperate to join us, and could be scoring goals for the next three, maybe four seasons.....

There were reports Jackson was interested in coming. How are players supposed to show they want to come here? What Wissa did was shit.

You can't compare deals like this 30 years apart.

 

Use a market specific index and then you can from a pure financial point of view. The Footbal Observatory report says that inflation in prem market is around 12% (recently over last decade). 6m over 20 years at 12% is 57m (i think). Les was 30 years ago so its probably a fair comparison.

Impressive how Brentford have taken both us and Man U to the cleaners in one window.

Being reported that Brentford also have a 25% sell on clause. Who the fuck negotiated this deal. 

Sell on clauses apply to net profit on sale and so it would be irrelevant for Wissa given his age. Would be amazed if this is true.

With a Wissa bit of luck, he signs by 7pm tonight

LOL Wissa is worth more than 30-35m. 2 years left on his contract and one of the top scorers in EPL last season. Yes he will be 29 on Wednesday but I don't think it is unrealistic that he could give us 4-5 good years. Plenty of players play at a top level well into their mid-30s. And at the end of the day, needs must and I think we got a very good Wilson's replacement

Let’s hope he performs like you expect him to 

[alexf]

Does also give us the option to play Woltemade off him which could be interesting and might help relieve that lack of a creative midfielder and let Bruno and Tonali sit deeper to cover. 

 

However not sure if we would want to be starting them together regularly as that defeats the point of depth really as we wouldn't have a sub option or rotation option other than Osula. 

[Abacus]

I doubt the sell on clause will matter. I suspect this is his last big career move

Won't be that impressive for them if they go down

Yawn.

Can we get Brentford's people in to do our transfer business please? Fucking hell.

With football you cannot. Prices are all over the place.

What is our strongest starting 11 / formation now?

 

Surely this opens up new possibilities.

[Toon1984]

A sulking and problematic Isak out. Woltemade and Wissa in. Happy with that.

Depends on the agreement. I doubt Brentford have negotiated a clause which is worthless to them given they had the leverage.

Sell everyone good and not not replace them properly 

[James]

I suppose this is a player we could justify selling to Saudi for £40m in a couple of years

Okay, let me rephrase. Can we get Brentford's people in to negotiate the deals we decide to do please?

They’ve sold all their goals from last season

I don't think we can expect to sign them both. After all, our club is a complete shambles, apparently!

Their DoF is a Geordie and clearly very good at his job.
