Hope for your sake you get what you're asking for them, but I hope it's not us that pays it. I am sure Spurs fans were thinking the same when a similar mid-table Championship team wanted 30 million for Grealish or Leicester when paid 24 million for Maddison Face it thats the price of players in this league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Smith doesn’t have restrictions on coming back for former players I do know that. We don’t let players go for less than our valuations that must be realistic other wise they would still be with us.You might disagree because of Hogans period with you but I’m sure smith will get him back scoring goals again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't always get what you want. Those sort of fees would price them out of the market in my opinion. I think that you would do well to get 50% for the above players still if you don't need to sell...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 1 hour ago, sne said: Right price for them or us? £15m for Maupay? £6m for Sawyers? £?m for Henry who's been injured for almost 2.5 years, £20m for Mephams? at least that's the prices the papers are speculating. Championship prices are wildly inflated. No idea if Smith's history with them will help or inflate the prices from them, but I doubt he'll get a discount. I suspect those prices are the papers ideas on how much Brentford would like for those players. I would like £9m for Scott and £6m for Ross as well but that is not going to happen either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Realistically... and I'm going to take some flack for saying this... We could get by without a left back until the summer, but a midfielder is a priority to get the team playing the way we were playing before Grealish's injury. Obviously Grealish coming back will massively help. If we don't have any other options than Rico Henry I would prefer to wait until the summer and find some rather than splash out 10-12 million on him. There must be left backs around the world we can pick up for 3-4 million that would improve our team. Using the Derby and Middlesbrough games as markers, Taylor played in both and we kept clean sheets. The only significant changes are Tuanzebe and Grealish. Hause and Elphick are now available at centre back, and Grealish will soon be back (but a midfielder would help ensure that this situation doesn't happen again with an injury in the midfield) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never been in a million years unless they somehow become relevent again in football. I dont think the brentford lot of worth that much. It says alot when none of our lads apart from Mcginn or Grealish can fetch 10 mill in.. Edited January 16, 2019 by Dave-R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Personally, I would rather spend £2m on Brentford's Data Analytics and associated Scouting department. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the actual ****? - £55m for that lot! May I add that it's players we are looking to buy and not your whole club! You might be lucky to get £20m tops for those bunch of said players combined imo.

I think before the end of the week you will see we will achieve 15 mill of that for Mepham who has agreed to join Bournmouth.The rest of the players we don’t need or have to sell as we have already sold 19 million pounds worth of players this season not including Mepham.Based on what you paid for Hogan don’t think Maupay would be unreasonable at 20 mill.Woods went to Stoke for 7 mill and sawyers is better imho.Hope none of them go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 We should just buy Brentford and then loan the players we want! The club is probably only worth about £10m 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
