Sounds like it's going to be a very busy few days for us.
We’re being linked with Albian Ajeti, scored 27 goals in 59 games for Basel (lots of those being sub appearances, so it’s a great record).
Can’t imagine how we’d be affording the wages, but love the ambition.
Edit: sounds like we were...
Bids accepted from Brighton and Palace for Maupay. £20m up front rising to £25m. Massive shame and blow but that’s too much to turn down.
We’re bringing in Max Lowe, Yearwood from Southend and Bryan Mbeumo using the cash (with plenty left over).
Dru Yearwood and Bryan Mbeumo were both at Griffin Park today.
Yearwood apparently joining from Southend tomorrow. Mbeumo we’re still trying to convince to join (not sure today would have helped!)
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Yearwood before. No idea on fee.
Mbeumo fee is lower than...
No idea how we didn’t win today. Only one shot against us, couple of great saves by their keeper, and we hit the woodwork three times. Keep playing that though and we’ll be fine.
Hit the crossbar twice, few shots narrowly wide, concede to the first shot (a great header tbf) of the game. Standard Brentford.
We do look pretty great though, could easily be 2 up.
An odd looking squad for us today. Strong defence but through injuries / transfer rumours we’re missing most of our midfield and attack.
Hoping Marcondes can step up in the striker role, and at least it’s good to see Watkins in the starting XI.
Maupay not in the squad today, though sounds like we haven’t yet accepted a bid.
But, must be on his way as we’re replacing him with Mbeumo, French striker costing £5.5m.
Some rumours we’re also in for Max Lowe from Derby.
Really surprised Bristol didn’t get one of them considering the Webster riches.
Suddenly a little worried Derby could do well this year. Few teams looked like they’d strengthened or maintained their level.
No clubs have any active bids for Benrahma, Watkins or Maupay, all bids received to date have been turned down, and the expectation at the club is that they'll now stay with us until January at least.
Benrahma is currently injured but both Watkins and Maupay will likely be in the squad on...
We’ve been pretty reliant on our owner, though it’s to the tune of a few million each year, not 10s of millions like others, so we don’t get anywhere near the FFP boundaries (or at least, not since our first year or two here). Arguably given the ‘value’ of our squad and stadium, we’ve probably...
He’s struggled to get back into the team because Watkins and Benrahma have been so good. He’s an excellent player though so I hope we keep him.
Joel Valencia confirmed.
