Yoane Wissa

[Newcastle Fan]

He seemed to be our key target for a while but fuck me 55m for a 28 yearold who's on the last year of his contract sounds a lot.

Outstanding transfer window… much stronger all round squad now…

That’s massively debatable 

[Froggy]

Is £55m a lot given what other players are going for? He scored 19 league goals last season.

 

Players are moving from the Championship for over £40m.

[toon25]

Fuck me man

[SteV]

Brentford capitulating and setting a precedent for any of their players to do this and get what they want in the future…

[nwopnufc]

£55m is fair for player with 2 years left on his contract and scoring that many pl goals the season before

Is he fucking off to Congo for internationals?

Every time I hear the word Congo, I'm reminded of the time my son convinced his wife that Um Bongo was their biggest export  still gets brought up years later

[nemtizz]

That’s how you get a decent fee, PIF

Price is bad but if he scores 20 goals this season…..

Where’s this confidence of 20 goals coming from? He’s only scored over 15 once his whole career and never reached 20.

Damn are we fucked, we probably won't sign another player in next 2 years. 

A total misunderstanding of the situation we find ourselves in.

[Craig]

Are we the only club that don't do add-ons, or do they just not report that unless it's the red cartel.

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

Replaced Isak's goals. Added a wonderful young talent from abroad improved the squad depth. Daresay learned a lot of lessons. Champions league game against Barca in a couple of weeks and not in the bottom 3!

If we'd had Wissa sooner we'd have had more points on the board. 

[Elric]

Out here Stewart Donald-ing motherfuckers

 

If we can rinse Villa out of £30m for Osula it'll take the sting out but... fuck.

We need more goals guaranteed, we’re losing 25+ goals a season

I’m aware. Just annoyed at selling cheap and overpaying for someone underprepared because he had the same behaviour as Isak and will miss a month in middle of season. He’s the most underwhelming striker on the list. At least it’s someone 

 

 

 

His goal scoring record over the past 3 seasons is not underwhelming though.

They got what they wanted though in terms of price.

I’d rather overpay than have no striker. 

But we didn't have to !! We could have just kept Isak - it's mental this like.

[Turnbull2000]

We're gonna have a massive PSR headache next summer if we don't qualify for Champions League again, surely.

[54]

I know he's 29 etc, but £55m for a player who scored 20 goals and 4 assist last season, and has 2 years left on his contact, doesn't seem that extortionate like

He’s not in his last year, Brentford have a 1 year option, so he really has 2 years 

[GeordieDazzler]

Brentford now have to rely on a lad with 11 goals in 88 games so we were always going to have to overpay pay 

[Stifler]

£55m is too high like. Rather go and break the bank for someone like Samu with a much higher potential.

I’m also not a fan of how he’s acted, between him and Isak they have now developed a pathway for players to engineer moves away. We and football would be better off not going ahead with either deal.

[alexf]

Mad fee but what options do we have left. But if you add the premium we have paid on Wissa to the loss in valuation we made on Isak were looked at about £50m extra cost to the clubs because of Isak's behaviour.

Can someone explain to me why Brentford is demanding so much money for a 29 year old striker that is on the last year of his contract in a year where he goes to AFCON? Surely they knew long time ago they need a replacement for him. 

 

They have a years extension aswell. So two years left.

Annual cost will be 15m + for this really a crazy deal. 

Need a non PIF KSA league club to swoop in 2 years down the line to pay an obscene amount to correct the balance. Fat chance with those disorganised numpties.
