Rightdm00 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Same thing Brentford pulled with Maupay. 3 minutes ago, desensitized43 said: This is what deadlines are for... Agree. Move on and come back around close to deadline day and see if a deal a more preferable deal can be struck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Last line is interesting. Could sign Watkins if we go for plan b or c options for other positions e.g. cheaper. We did that last summer so I'd swerve that policy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, this isn't the first report which indicates that we have financial power that other clubs haven't. It's obvious, given our owners, but it does appear that if we want a player, other clubs are already looking elsewhere due to our ability to pay.

est1874 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 More media nonsense, that report. The bit about reigning in expectations for recruits in other positions - what, because we only have 30-40m to spend? I'd say that's news to everyone, including Lange and Smith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonjon Posted August 27, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) More Sky sports news just out 15:41 BRENTFORD AGREE TONEY DEAL Brentford have agreed a deal with Peterborough to sign striker Ivan Toney. The agreement is believed to be worth up to £10m. Might have to be taken with a pinch of salt, but from what I'm hearing from this end, fairly reliable, So Watkins could be on his way to you, you are the front runners I hear. Could be a load of old Rollocks from Sky of course, but this could have legs Edited August 27, 2020 by jonjon 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Sky Sports News, linked to Sky Bet, are only seeking clicks and profits. They know nothing of our transfer dealings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because it is rumored we have 100 mill to spend, on 4 - 5 players. 25 mill for a Championship player is a quarter of that. What if we had our eyes on more expensive, high level targets for other positions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 We are in no position to be picky or stingy or play games. We did this last season and should have got relegated. Put the money on the table and wrap up the deal you absolute mug Purslow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think, given the state of the transfer market, that £7m is going to hold Lange/Smith/Purslow/Edens/Sawiris back from signing the other players we need? Genuine question.

If they want 25 and we want to pay 18 I reckon we’ll settle at 21+ a shit loads of addons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We value a lot of players at low prices only to see their market value increase the next summer. At least we have bargain bucket Samagoal.

It should be "rein in", like how you control a horse, not how you act like a king. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
