Lotus Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 If we seriously overpay for this guy every other team will have our pants down whenever we try to sign someone. At some point the risks of that, and JSL not justifying the price tag equate or overtake the risk of buying a player from abroad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack0 Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 1 minute ago, Doctor Zaius said: Is one good PL season enough to call someone a proven at PL level? Plenty of players have had a decent return in a single season that are nowhere near good enough for a club in the CL. Glen Murray, Mitrovic, Jay Rodriguez, Graziano Pelle, Ighalo, Deeney have all scored around 14 goals in a single season over the last 8 or 9 years. You'd have been mental to drop a significant sum on any of those. In the data driven transfer market we now live in the club have clearly judged that JSL is good enough for us by more metrics that just his goal output. The majority of the strikers you named were quite limited when you look at their overall game and is why no top teams ever picked them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kocunar Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 I can't believe I'm saying this, but for 60 million £, I would rather buy Nico Jackson than Strand Larsen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack0 Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 Don't really understand that tbh. Surely when we've been in negotiations with Wolves they would have given a clear indication whether they were open to a fee being agreed or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Brentford ever gave us an indication they would sell Wissa either. I think we rely on what agents are telling us and assume clubs are bluffing.

If they were that convinced, we'd have made a move before the end of August. I dont think we'll get Strand Larsen for the same reason we're not going to let Isak go, theres no chance of a replacement. It might well mean relegation for Wolves. Left it far, far too late.
