Alright, I'll leave it at £20m then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would "better value" signings from the continent be as likely to do so, as the likes of Maupay, Bowen and Reach? I guess we will need to rely on the checks we do on any potential signings, maximising the chances of them settling in quickly. Well u never know. Be easy to find tons of examples from abroad and domestic who have either failed or succeeded. Guess that's where our scouting and recruitment guys earn their money. easy for anyone to look at stats and find impressive figures. Job is to find those who can do a job and help them slot into the squad. We've been terrible at the last part for a very long while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogan was clearly broke when we bought him. It's been too long to get our money back but a gift voucher seems fair! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cringe when we start talking about Brentford players for this reason. Seriously, do you all go to Daniel Levy school? Good luck if thats the case. Plenty of good players elsewhere. If your players and staff were half as good as you lot reckon you'd have won the league by Christmas instead of finishing mid table. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benrahma, El Ghazi, Jota and Green would have us pretty set out wide I feel. Would like one more (Bowen although probably greedy and unlikely to spend £30-40m on wingers) but with the lack of depth in the rest of the squad you would feel we would be set for wingers until January if we get those in. I’d go a step further and say Benrahma, El Ghazi, Jota, Green, Grealish is good options across the three behind the striker (I know that’s not exactly how we play but you know what I mean - a couple of those wingers can play in the Grealish role). (Kind of the point you’re making in your first paragraph actually). Edited June 8, 2019 by Adam2003 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villaglint Posted June 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2019 Question that’s been bugging me for a while and it relates to this thread. If brentford are full of £20m players how come they are so average in terms of what they actually achieve. Watkins, Maupay, Benrahma, Swayers, Konsa all seem to get talked about as PL players. The remaining 6 players in the team must be really bad to pull them down to half way in Champo. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I am not that keen on Brentford players for the simple reason they are Brentford level players and we need better. But I wonder what would happen if we came in with a respectable offer which probably would be half of what their fans would expect. These footballers can easily throw a fit if they are denied a move they want. Especially foreign ones. Anyway, show me links to higher quality players please 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor defence and goalkeeping was our downfall this season, far to many errors made Talk, that's all it is, lazy journalism, copying and pasting, no real substance or investigation made, it's all down to click bait to give them revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dave J Posted June 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2019 I would welcome Daniel Sturbridge back to VP if the wage demands are not ridiculously high. He is last chance saloon now with everything to play for. On his A game - which are currently few and far between, he is probably the most gifted of all English strikers imo. 2 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 You don't really know if a bid has been made or not unless you're part of the Brentford backroom. And if it was click bait, why not use higher profile players? It might be. Silly season as you say. But nothing sillier than claiming those 3 are 60m worth. Also, Brentford players in the team of the season: 0 Some good players, sure. But nowhere near as good as you claim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to your point the couple of “quality” players that leave for reasonably high fees fail to cut it away from Brentford. See Hogan, Woods and even Jota. Although Egan had a successful season.
