And I imagine Flo would be on somewhat lower wages too. Having seen a lot of him, and having seen some of Weimann's games, I'd say that you're coming out of this one in a better position. It took him a while to settle in for us - joined in January, made a promising start but then faded away for...

Why would you slate our transfer model? As a percentage difference between transfer fees paid and transfer fees received, we've probably got the best record in the division in recent years - and we can't afford to stop selling players, as our non-transfer income is nowhere near enough to compete...

I thought so too, but was reliably informed otherwise :) But keep that to yourself :happy:

Konsa was more than £2.5m up front.

He didn't cost us nothing. We paid £400k for him through the tribunal, and I understand that we've paid an extra £75k in appearance fees.

Didn't think you lot had much in the bank? or would it be conditional on the sale of Vydra? Good buy for you either way. Thought you lacked a bit of pace out wide last season, and Flo has that in bundles. Very sad to see him go, but a good move for all involved.

He was shite in front of goal, but then he kept on popping up with great finishes in important games. Some brilliant free kicks too, and was always a big player in key games. That £3.8m is a good deal for both parties, if Leeds turns out to be his destination. Became our most reliable...

I'd hope not, as I think he was one of our better players last season, but can understand why it might be best for both parties if he moves on. This is our last chance to get any money for him and a good chance for him to earn a better wage. That said, I have it on good authority that there...

Said Benrahma joins on a 4 year deal. Kiss of death... but we don't get many of these signings wrong (ones where we stump up cash). https://www.brentfordfc.com/news/2018/july/said-benrahma-joins-brentford-from-ogc-nice/

It's not us.

The interesting thing, which markwwfc1992 will find most displeasing, is that the £10m bid is a long way off what we'd accept by all accounts :ohm:

I think the opposite - if we reject an £8.5m bid for a player with 12 games in January, then that same team return a few months later with a £10m bid, I think that it's quite clear to all that we don't overvalue him one bit. The fact that Bournemouth have returned with a higher bid shows that we...

Please do point out where this has happened in the past to back your point up. I think most see it as we understand that there is a market premium on English talent within the top two divisions. We buy players with significant potential and then put an awful lot of effort into developing them...

We're struggling to score goals at the moment, so despite our run-in being the most attractive on paper, I wouldn't have thought that we stood much of a chance. I think the winner of the Boro v Millwall game will ultimately take that 6th spot.

It's a tackle that will divide opinion, so there's no point getting into that argument again. The reason why Brentford fans are still hung up over it is largely down to Saturday being Judge's first league start at home since the injury happened... two years ago. Shows you quite how significant...

It's the un-level playing field of the Championship sadly. FFP and parachute payments totally screw well-run clubs like ours; Benham could arguably afford to fully go for it one season - ala Bournemouth - but the FFP risk is significant.

We were seriously in for him a while back - was frustrated at not starting at PSV and we stood a real chance apparently. Hogan coming good after his injury apparently put an end to our interest, but he looks a cracking signing.

I think you're catastrophising things somewhat and are going a bit OTT. Jota and Dean were always off. It'll most likely be £6m rising to £8m, and if Colin goes it'll be for his release clause (£3.5m), so that would be £11.7m rising to £14m for three players who were always likely to leave this...

Yep - sad to see him go, but our policy is to move players on who are in the last year of their contracts and are refusing to sign new ones. We moved Bidwell and Button on last summer and improved the side with younger and cheaper players, but Dean will be tricky to replace given he was our...

Well that was fucking annoying.
