Surely we've reached the point where you take a fucking chance on someone from abroad.

• We elect not to squander our finances on higher-risk targets 

[Review end]

I think lower variance targets is a mistake in our position, given our need for 95th+ percentile talent ID to overcome the other disadvantages.

This offer is mental imo  

[Nepharite]

I’m just weary of this shit now, plan fucking S

[LionOfGosforth]

I've understood most of our other striker attempts this summer, They've been ambitious but ultimately unsuccessful, the cartel decides where top PL players go. This one feels borderline daft to me. Another PL striker needed by their club, far too much money, too late in the day, leaked with glee by agents and the cartel reporters immediately. Perhaps a ploy to move the Wissa deal along by applying pressure on Brentford but can't see that working either. Where are the targets from abroad? Surely there's a handful we're looking at instead of increasingly desperate bids in the PL?

You’ve forgotten “failure to move on”.

 

I think there's a valid point to be made about our process but it's absolutely a secondary cause. Everything is different if Chelsea can't sign Pedro.

[Danh1]

Not the most exciting signing, doesn’t seem to be someone that would fit into our style. Obviously huge price as well. 
 

Desperation though.

[Robbo2]

50m for him is a travesty like. Scored a few goals but an absolute carthorse imo 

[Turnbull2000]

Honestly, what is the fucking point 

 

We either somehow bring Isak back into the team, or it remains Gordon or Osula till at least January.

[David Edgar]

Depressing.

Maybe some of your definitely not imaginary sources can give us an insight into just what has gone wrong this Summer?

 

Lets hope so!

[nemtizz]

£50m   I get it’s late and we’re desperate but jesus. 
 

Good luck to our next sporting director.

[Stottie]

Crossing fingers we can get a deal, any deal, done once again.

Positive noises from who? An agent?

[The Prophet]

I'd be surprised if Wolves aren't willing sellers. Their owners are effectively asset strippers.

[Tiresias]

some positive noises translates to 2 years of hanging around before a deal gets done I assume

[Decky]

£50m

If this is our striking options next week I will be bitching about this to my nurses in 40 years I swear to fucking GOD.

[sushimonster85]

Feel like we should have put a bid in before this weekend. All the promoted sides being on three points after two games has likely spooked the usual suspects who finish 17th-14th.

[SUPERTOON]

Depending on price, going into the rest of the season with Isak and Larsen, coupled with the rest of our business gives us a strong squad imo (assuming Isak isn't a prick if and when he comes back).

Surely they want to stay in the league though.

Uche isn’t a striker.

[Jagten]

His numbers aren't terrible. His shot selection is good, he presses well, but for 60m - honestly - what the absolute fuck
