maqroll Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I bet there's some truth to the dreadlocks kid loan move. We seem to have a good relationship with Chelsea these days and they won't view us as a threat this season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 24 minutes ago, jonjon said: We are happy with it, but It would be difficult because several of them formally worked for our owner who owns Smart Odds who provide statistical research and sports modeling for pro gamblers, he also own FC Midtjyland the Danish cup holders and one of our DOF'S is also a director of that club, so you see it's a closely knit and very much in house unit that would be difficult to break up. Yeah almost impossible to get your hands on any of the staff from Brentford. Within a few hours of being away from there they just melt into the ground. If only there was a way and we could take your manager and some of his coaching staff we could really be going places. But it’s a system and it just can’t be done anywhere else. I’ve had similar thoughts about how to run the club and looked on with wide eyed envy as Leeds fans have waxed lyrical about getting rich, new, switched on owners. Imagine where we’d be now if we were that lucky? Gosh they’re just so very, very clever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the goal is likely to solidify our Prem status and to build on that for next season. Mid table is likely the goal this season. I'd love to be wrong on this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats2 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Now that Malaga have been knocked out of the promotion playoffs in Spain, I’d love to go after Javi Ontiveros. He’s a class winger, only 21, and far and away their best player over both legs of the tie with Deportivo. He had his ups and downs throughout the season but that’s to be expected from such a young player and he really came on in the back half. Hopefully Suso’s all over him. Transfermarkt rates him at 2.5M and I think he’d be a steal at that price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently that's on the cool down now because of the crazy asking price brentford want. Would rather see Lolley join us than Benrahma, Maupay is who id want to see from brentford.

So long as we stay in the Premier this season ill be happy as anything, of course though if the Owners, Smith, Jesus, Purslow and the squad think we can have a go, then so be it, fantastic..

Purslow and Smith did say loans were done in the way we had been having them so I can only assume from now on they will be option to buys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 2 hours ago, jonjon said: No, I think he's worth every penny and more, He has 3 years left on his contract, I personally think he's the better of the two, its his first season here and he has done so well, I think next season he will be even better, moving up tho the Premiership will not bother him at all, in fact I think it could be the making of him, we all know Villa got tucked up with Hogan but he is a different kettle of fish, he is a work horse with very quick feet and an eye for goal, as well as a good provider. He looks like he could develop into a special player, not unlike Mahrez. Players like that make the step up without breaking a sweat. 15m with a 20% sell on would be fair. He is going to be worth about 50m in a couple of years if he moves to the PL this summer. That's 10m for Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teale's 'tache Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Still think this talk of paying £20m+ for Championship players is crazy, I've mentioned before it's only happened 5 times before, and 4 of those were proven Premier League players and full internationals that were relegated to the Championship. Premier League teams don't spend £20m+ on unproven Championship players. Maddison is the exception, not the rule. Brentford may want £20m-£25m for some of their players, but no one is going to pay that and nor should we. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 8pints Posted June 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2019 Not sure we are gonna get Benrahma, someone illuminated a big version of our badge in front of him but he wouldn't look at it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Didn’t realise Jimenez for Wolves was on loan. He has now been signed for 34m. Southampton have signed Danny Ings for 20 million. Was he that good for them last season? The money really is crazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
