I haven’t seen much of the PL this season, so I don’t know how he did, but last season he showed real talent. Could be a good signing.

You can't compare the 2 though. One has won 2 titles, champs league, 2 europa leagues, fa cups, league cups and captained England during his 60 odd caps. He is also 3 years younger. What has Whelan achieved that would make players look up to him in the same way. I don't think Cahill gets enough respect for the quality he is on this site. Whether you want him or not let's not lump him with the likes of Lescott and Sturridge. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's OK, got our eye on a kitman from the Championship to takeover when Dean leaves. Thomas Frank his name I think. All good fun! Genuine question, why do you think you've not managed to get up to the playoffs since first year with so many good players knocking around your club last few seasons? Too many weak points in amongst the good players? Certainly a very well run club. I'd imagine you'll have a real run when you move to the new stadium. Maybe you'll have a summer of no sales and go for it big time the year after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghazi, Ming’s, Kalinic, Hause, that kid who finished the season and plays right back, All you have to do is forget those (and perhaps more I’m forgetting) to believe that utter nonsense. Nobody said all of his recruits were former Brentford players. But we've been linked with a lot of Brentford players. Not hard to understand why people are discussing it, is it?

He won a Champions League with those players, so they were clearly already at the right level to play for Chelsea. Barcelona picked up Deco from the same squad. My point is that Brentford are a mid-table Championship side, and some fans seem to be getting excited about what DS can extract from their players in the Premier League, purely because of their deep understanding of Deanball. It's nonsense. I'm all for DS signing squad players who he knows have good characters, if the price is right. But Brentford are no mugs in the transfer market, and for that reason, I'm not convinced they offer us loads of value. Anyway, I wasn't for a moment saying that Purslow and Suso are naive enough to go down this route. Just that it's a recurring theme in this discussion that we will somehow get amazing performances out of all DS's old Brentford favourites. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a far, far, far better centre back than Gary Cahill has ever been. I disagree, Terry has played in better sides than Cahill, doesn’t mean he’s a better player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9256496/aston-villa-transfer-bid-brentford-said-benrahma/ Quote ASTON VILLA are reportedly continuing their Championship raid with a bid for Brentford star Said Benrahma. The newly-promoted team have already snapped up Birmingham City forward Jota for £4million and are returning to the second-tier for another deal. According to Le10 Sport, an offer worth £8.9million has been lodged to commence the bidding on Benrahma. Brentford are braced for a number of clubs showing an interest in the 23-year-old Algerian. In his first year at Griffin Park, Benrahma smashed 11 goals and 17 assists. And after costing Brentford just over £2.5m last summer, they may be tempted to cash in on the player. However reports in the spring suggested a whopping £30m asking price for the transfer window ahead. There were even suggestions that Chelsea and Arsenal were tracking the winger. Back in February, Benrahma did admit to wanting a shot at the Premier League sooner or later. He said: "For me personally, I would love to play in the Premier League one day. "And I don’t see any reason why that can’t be with Brentford. "Any player wants to test themselves at the highest level.” Villa have also been linked to Bees striker Neal Maupay as well as Championship pair Neil Etheridge of Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers star Bradley Dack.

Yes that is a legitimate claim in all fairness - which is why I think a pay as you play type contract would work well. I'm sure you would agree Sturbridge is a class footballer - who would not be on a free if there were no strings attached ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No player is silly enough to agree to pay as you play terms, especially one on a free transfer and will most likely get a good few offers to choose from.

There will be a team out there that’s gets done over by giving him a 3 or 4 year contract on decent money. Thankfully it won’t be us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said from the first time I saw him at Chelsea he’s attitude was wrong and he is a very selfish player. For that reason he would never go on to big things. Although the may have been unlucky with injuries I think he’s done as a top striker and has been for quite a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
