Granted not all going to work out I completely agree with this. A lot depends on different work permit rules, but they would be completely undervalued in transfer fee and likely won't command big wages. TBF I'd rather miss on players like Helenius & Tonev compared to spending shed loads on McCormack, Richards and others of that ilk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been linked with the PL but he's not proven at all. Could be another Ollie Watkins. Maja is a great shout. Out of contract in the summer, could get him cheaper than most other targets we would be looking it. Nowhere near the finished article but clearly a natural goalscorer which is what we will be needing with tammy going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your scepticism based on the ability to afford him or something else? It's the nasty streak he has that makes me want him over his other traits. For far too long we have become a soft touch, we need players with fire in their bellies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 2 hours ago, The Fun Factory said: If Abraham goes then we will have to get another goal scorer in. If Kodjia then gets injured we would be deep in the brown stuff as Hogan and Davis together have scored about 10 goals for us so far. I'd like us to bring in 2 strikers. One now and one in the summer, unless we can get 2 targets in this window by offloading a couple of players (e.g. Hogan). We should look to try and get two 15-goal strikers, like WBA do with Gayle and Rodriguez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would b thrilled with him as tammys replacement. Also looks like Hause is coming. Although I thought he had a foot injury?? I don't know where that journalist gets his info from, but Brentford won't be selling him for less than £15 million at least, could be asking for more as he's contracted till summer 2021, he could also turn out another Hogan when he's away from Brentford, they never seem to play the same when they leave !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you’re saying Brentford is a grave yard for players, they either are stuck with you for eternity or immediately turn into Sunday footballers as soon as they leave? The mysterious tales of The Brentford Triangle. You may have a point with Hogan to be fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 On a more serious note, how does Maupay compare with Hogan? They are about the same size I believe, so won’t be strong in the air, like Abraham is. Therefore I’d assume Maupay would need similar service to Hogan, which we don’t appear to have been able to provide for him much. So is Maupay just a better, more busy and aggressive version of Hogan and if so is that enough to make him effective or will we just have two similar players who are equally as ineffective. If that’s the case we either look elsewhere, or adapt our style to improve the type of service Hogan needs and save our money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary to that, I heard that the deal just needs to get over the final hurdle and then he's ours!

John Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Does anyone else think that Iheancho might rediscover his goal touch with us and that his parent club as well as us might therefore benefit from a loan with us until the end of the season if Abraham does move?

I can't see us being able to finance a move for Maupay - esp not in this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
