Mazrim Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Tbf, Brentford are doing a good job of following the Southampton model. Punting on the family silver every year without ever getting close to where you really want to go, so kudos. There will always be rich shmucks like Villa queuing up to buy it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I'd probably hold my powder dry in this window and save as much money for the summer when we will need a massive rebuild, even though we still have an outside chance of making a run for the playoffs this season. Like you say, maybe one more player but not a lot of activity other than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'm certain we'll get at least 2 more in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I’m not too bothered if we don’t sign anyone else until the summer. We’re not getting promoted this season either way. I’d rather we wait and get the right players in than buy for buying sake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is back soon and the other about a month away. If we sign a couple of decent players along with getting Jack back we should be aiming to recapture our form and trying for the playoffs still. Of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this happened it wouldn’t be bad business, especially if Jack and Tuenzebe come back soon. January is usually busy towards the very end of the window as deals close out and plan B and C come into focus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I think a left back and holding midfielder that can pass would be good window with Axel and Jack returning soon We really arent that far back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another supporter who uses that fact that we have been almost run into ground by poor management over the last ten years to validate how well their club is doing... Wouldn’t you much rather be unbeaten against us when we are in our usual position of top half Premier? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad thought—wouldn't we be a selling club if we had players worth buying that we owned (see next summer if we're not promoted)? And what are we really competing for?

Brentford are actually a very well run club. They don't have the benefit of being a club flush with cash and so are making the best of buying, developing and selling players for high prices. Eventually they will benefit from this and they have proved that they can spend the money wisely and compete in the Championship. 2015/16 - Arrivals - 9.37m Departures - 22.95m 2016/17 - Arrivals - 4.64m Departures - 12.96m 2017/18 - Arrivals - 5.49m Departures - 13.65m 2018/19 - Arrivals 5.90m Departures - 26.51m A lot of clubs in the Championship have to work this model until they finally acheive promotion, some doing it better than others. It's something we now need to be doing as well instead of spunking money up the wall at every oppurtunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
