A bit like if you have an offer agreed on a house, and then you have a comprehensive survey that flags serious issues that needs fixing, sometimes that gives leeway to renegotiate to compensate for the value of dealing with those issues.
To get a better deal. See the POK tweet I posted on the other page, he still thinks it will happen but for less money. I’m not suggesting there isn’t an issue, I’m simply saying that making Nusa’s issues public deflates his value and likely curtails other clubs interest. Brentford, if they decide they still want him, will be in a position to renegotiate for a lower fee as he is essentially “damaged goods”. Why would anyone pay the full price for a player when they find out there are “serious” knee concerns after a medical. Not really logical. The more “serious” it is made out to be the better fee they might be able to get.
I think it would be crazy for anyone to purchase him right now with these injury concerns even at a reduced fee. He doesn't have enough of a sample size to say, yes, he's definitely going to be a superstar. Then add into the equation his injuries and the fact he is a winger who relies on pace mobility and changing direction quickly and it's even more of a risk.
Absolutely this.
I don't think there is any chance he comes here so I wouldn't worry. We backed out when the price went up and were content for him to go to Brentford, even if that falls through at this point I think its safe to say we are out of the race. By many accounts we seem to have a list of young prospects we like so its a fairly good bet we have already moved on a few days ago and are assessing the other options. Still don't think we move for one this window but I guess you never know until its closed.
I remember years and years ago we had a kid called Terry Dixon who was insanely talented, everyone was convinced he would be a superstar - he was tearing it up in youth teams, Jol bought him in to train with the seniors, he was picked in the Ireland squad at 16.
Exactly.
