00:00Johan Visser of Brentford

00:02Newcastle in talk sound like a deal is advanced

00:06I've had a bid rejected

00:07£25 million the reported figure

00:09Suggestions that a deal could be done at £30 million

00:14I would still have some caution about that

00:1730 plus bits and bobs

00:19Because he was a player that scored 20 goals last year

00:23So I think if you can get Johan Visser for that price

00:25I think it's a great deal

00:26Chris Wood cost £25

00:28It's a great deal

00:29It's fantastic

00:30I think do it

00:31I'm a touch sceptical of the price tag

00:34That's my only thing

00:35And I would be wary of Tottenham interest

00:37Will be the two caveats I put with

00:39It's an interesting move

00:40Because everything I've heard

00:42We've been quite over transfers this summer

00:44And everything I've heard with regards to the type of player

00:47The parameters that they had in the search

00:49It doesn't fit that many of them

00:52Is it fair to say?

00:55They're like height

00:56They're like speed

00:57They're like age

00:59Profile

01:00He doesn't fit any of those

01:02What he does really fit the category of is

01:05He's not a striker

01:07I know he played striker

01:09And it was brilliant how he adapted to playing a striker

01:11Last season

01:11It was brilliant

01:12With Ivan Toney going out with the team

01:14Etc

01:14But he's not really a striker

01:17He plays across the front

01:18And he can probably do a bit deeper

01:20So he fits the Joe Pedro mould almost

01:24Just a fair bit older

01:25And probably nowhere near as high a ceiling

01:27Or as high a price tag

01:29I think if you could get him

01:31As a couple of years signing

01:34I think it's an absolutely genius deal

01:36Yeah

01:37You're essentially signing a Premier League proven player

01:39For what I would say a reasonable price

01:41Yeah

01:41Because it wasn't just last season

01:43I think the season before he scored quite a lot of goals as well

01:45He's a top Premier League player

01:48I would always expect Brentford to sort of stick the heels in a little bit

01:51Because they've had a brutal summer

01:52Absolutely brutal

01:54Losing Thomas Frank

01:55Christian Nogard the captain goes to Arsenal

01:57Brian Nguyen would sign for Manchester

02:00United

02:00I thought there'd be one there

02:02Where Brentford are going

02:02No you're not going

02:03But by the sounds of the player

02:04Wants to

02:06And I think when you're put in that position

02:08As much as you're in control

02:10I think it's really hard for a football club

02:11Because you're hoping you end up with a player that

02:13Isn't happy

02:14Which I was going to say

02:16Hopefully that's not the situation I end up

02:18Yeah

02:18But yeah that was another thing

02:19From the BBC

02:20Broke the story as well

02:21That he was in Portugal

02:23With Brentford

02:24Being sent home

02:26Is now due to all talks with Phil Giles

02:28The director of football

02:29Obviously

02:29Newcastle's interest in there

02:31So that's probably one way

02:32To expect development

02:33In the next

02:34Couple of hours

02:35If not days

02:36I remember saying to you guys

02:38A while back

02:38And it was deemed quite controversial

02:40By the scenes

02:41I said

02:41Having talked on this channel

02:43About Mbwemo being the man

02:45About 18 months ago

02:46I rolled back on that

02:49Earlier this summer

02:50And said

02:50I think Vista's the option

02:52Didn't I?

02:52Yeah you did yeah

02:52Look I've always quite rated him

02:55I think he's quite small

02:55He's small but he's versatile

02:57He knows where the net is

02:58Can't argue with his goals

02:59He's clever

02:59I think he ticks a lot of boxes

03:01He wouldn't have been my first choice

03:03I'm not going to sit here

03:04And say

03:04He definitely was in your castles

03:05And he definitely was in your castles

03:07But if they get him

03:10Which we hope they do

03:11Yeah

03:11It would add a real

03:12Vital option

03:14And look who knows

03:15Maybe things have accelerated

03:16Somewhat this week

03:17Because

03:18Of

03:19Doubts about what's going on

03:20With Alexander

03:20Isak's

03:21Fitness

03:21Rather than

03:22Fitness and availability

03:24Rather than

03:24Transfers

03:26Etc

03:27I just think regardless

03:28If he's actually just desperate

03:29For a

03:29I'd say backup

03:31But just someone to come in

03:32And support him

03:32And might even charge him

03:33And play alongside him

03:34And as I say

03:35The targets that they've went for

03:37Is out there

03:38They missed out

03:39So they probably went down the list

03:40And Johan Visser

03:41For me

03:42Okay he's 28

03:43I think he turns 29 September

03:44He's on sort of the

03:45Older side if you like

03:47But as you mentioned before

03:48For

03:48Two or three

03:50Signing to come in

03:51And

03:51Essentially score goals

03:52What he's done

03:53He's proven a Premier League level

03:54I think for that

03:55Fee

03:5530

03:5635 million pound

03:57I think Nick's

03:58Total sense

03:59And then get that done

03:59I think that's really

04:00Really good business

04:01It is yeah
