Brentfordnylons

Thought he was fantastic last night,yes Burton but his attitude and his demand for the ball he could have been playing in a cup final.Think he will link up well with Oli as he did with a superb bit of skill only for him to miss.Not going to happen now but image Benrahma linking up with them 2.

Or we just act professionally and avoid doing dogdy deals! I very happy for Exeter to get their money.

Thanks for saying that I know both clubs are above that.

Glad to see this. Edouard, Benrahma, Rico Henry and Martinez next please.

I’ve been quite calm up to now but I’m about to get out of my pram.

Christ almighty I see Arsenal will only let him leave if they can get an replacement and top of the list is our keeper Raya if this hapens and you sign Benrahma you will be responsible for decimating our team

Reading the Brentfords forums alot actually think Watkins has the higher ceiling. (I was surprised about this too)

@jonjon @Brentfordnylons We all would value your opinions on their potential/ceilings. 

 

I think less than Watkins about 20 mill,great player but a much bigger gamble than Oli.Just my opinion no ITK on this

Even money if it happens it will be quoted as undisclosed fee thought to be in the region of xxxxx

Hope it does then everyone’s happy 

Sorry but have to say it,I’ll drive him there for that money by the way no word from Banana

I would take what Banana has posted as where we are at the moment and that is nobody wants to pay what we are asking.Thats whether they are a big or small club (whatever that has to do with it).We are known for being very straightforward when dealing with transfers as you have experienced with Hogan Konsa and even Dean Smith.Obviously we are in difficult times financially and I expect we will have to drop our valuation.The fact that Benrahma and Watkins who were stand out players last season remain unsold tells its own story.Would love them both to stay as we don’t have to sell but what would be the point in keeping 2 unhappy players at the height of their value.

Think we should pull out of negotiations myself and if we already haven’t and move on. If he really wanted to join us he would force Brentford’s hand. 
I get Smith wants him but there will come a time when we cannot wait for a Championship player untested in a higher league to make his decision. 

“A tested Premier League striker”How much will that cost in fee and wages and name me 2 who are available.Buying from abroad also comes with an untested in PL tag as you and almost every club has witnessed.Championship is regarded as one of the toughest in the world and it takes a top player to be highest goal scorer.

Nixon needs to write something in the paper every Sunday and gets far far more wrong than he gets right. Which is impressive when you think he must have some kind of contacts in the game. 

At this point I’d believe the banana in my fruit bowl over the angry Scot. 

I expect he lifted this from an article yesterday that headlined “Who should Spurs sign” and Watkins was suggested.

I heard Bananas real name is Eric. If that’s true then I believe him!

He once claimed to be live Tweeting from a board a meeting at Villa Park but got the wrong day.

A total odd ball, Watkins was training with Brentford today apparently.

Yes he was training with the team today in london

Fingers crossed we can sort this one. Then bring in Wilson as a bit of PL experience.

Would actually be 2 very smart bits of business.

Bit odd that Sky are reporting Bournemouth have turned down 20 mill from Villa for Wilson are you after both ?

That a guy called Banana says Watkins is talking to Villa reps - is just so odd that it's probably entirely true. 

Strange as it might sound he is very much ITK

Word going around on our forum that a fee has now been agreed (24m + 3m in add ons) - Anyone ITK that is able to confirm?

Would be ideal for us - Although it was commonly believed we had a 20% share of any profits Brentford make from Ollie, minus the £1.8m, the rumour of a 15% sell on fee circled around the same time as the false £18m buyout clause. But it still means a nice windfall coming our way so hope you do manage to snatch him up.. Might just help us through these difficult times  

FWIW, Ollie is a proper chap and won't let you down. He'll be worth double that in a few years.

15% £3,330,000
20% £4,440,000

That’s great news for you and deserve every penny although I expect it will be spread over a couple of seasons.

All this talk about Watkins but what is happening around Benrahma?

Back in training this week but like Watkins not involved in the friendly yesterday.This transfer window is going to cause problems for many clubs as there is still 5 weeks to go till it shuts and most clubs would have played 5 games.Having quality players sitting these games out while their future is uncertain and results are poor will upset fans.You could suffer this if the speculation around Jacks future isn’t sorted.
