TheBrownBottle Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 Proper fucking weirdo behaviour that by Brentford. The PL is full of absolute hoop-lickers for the Sky Six. I kind of liked them (I’ve got a Brentford-supporting mate who is sound), but I’m increasingly of the view that the quicker the historically second- and third-tier clubs from down south are run out of the league and replaced with traditional big clubs from the north the better it’ll be. At least they might have some fucking pride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 All this so that they can probably get the next Skipp or Winks on loan? Weirdos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the better Frank does at Spurs the more money Brentford get. Probably has to do with that. Not saying it isn’t true, but surely the PL couldn’t ratify that - there is huge potential for match rigging and all sorts with that kind of deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hate the term but it seems proper cuck behaviour They don't give a shit who they sell to. They are just trying to use Spurs to get us to bid higher given that they would probably rather not sell to anyone in the first place. Staying in the PL is worth far more to them. We are daft to be pursuing a deal where a club has no benefit in selling unless it's for a ruinous fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 Just now, KaKa said: Similar add ons exist for player transfers don't they? They do, absolutely - but the potential for dodginess with a manager is far greater I’d think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will likely be tied to them making the Champions League again next year or something like that, and perhaps winning a cup too. Much more likely if they send Wissa to Spurs to work with his former manager that is familiar with him. Looks like Wissa isn't going for it at all though and really wants to join Newcastle. Remember Spurs also went for Mbeumo and Man Utd had to deal with similar as Mbeumo only wanted to go to them. Ended up dragging on for ages, so this is going to be tedious.

nufcjmc Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 The window closes in a couple of weeks this surely has to have a deadline that doesn't mean by deadline day we need a gaurenteed replacement for Wilson as the other fucker can't be arsed to play for the club.

If this really is the case, we need to move on, right now. No more negotiations, no more hesitation. Seemingly, yet another striker saga, where we come away empty-handed. Its embarrassing.

SteV Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 They can’t make Wissa sign for Spurs like. Unless Spurs bid an amount we won’t match, there’s not much they can do. Everything else is just fluff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you'd imagine so. Will probably give it till the end of the week and then sack it off if no progress. Beginning to understand just a tiny bit more why Wissa is losing it.

Amen, the past few years has seen the rise of the spreadsheet shagging southern nonces whose raison d'etre is to herd and raise players for the cartel to eventually pick up once they're ready. Boring clubs with gash fans in soulless, flat pack, copy and paste stadiums doing nothing but making up the numbers in the league and making their cartel worshipping owners even richer. If the league is going to be full of Southern teams, fine, at least give us some mad lads like Millwall, Pompey or Wimbledon Edited August 20, 2025 by Moose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't prove its not happening but right now I would hedge my bets and go in and bid/enter discussions of the top 3 say choices worse case they all say yes and we burn bridges with that club backing out of it. Feels like once again 100% focus is being given on a very difficult deal/reluctant seller/fee gap and other options are parked and monitored incase it shouldn't work out.

GideonShandy Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 Spurs should be telling Wissa about how other Belgian players like Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Mousa Dembele have historically thrived there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 A lot of these clubs I couldn’t have cared less about in the last few years but didn’t actively hate them. However, Brighton, Palace and Brentford especially are fucking rancid the way they carry on in the transfer market. Pathetic no mark clubs that need to be fucked off out the league as soon as possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs are in the Champions League and can offer as much money but neither player seemingly wanted to link back up with Frank. Even with Spurs being in the supposedly impossible to turn down London area, and it meaning they wouldn't have to move. It seems both Mbeumo and Wissa have some kind of affinity for both Man Utd and Newcastle respectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 20, 2025 Share Posted August 20, 2025 Sounds like Brentford getting a favour from Frank to feign interest from Spurs to try and bump up the prices of Mbeumo and Wissa. Which they would not do if Wissa was "not for sale". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
