Nevermind signing your players. I want to sign your entire scouting department! Got to be one of the best in English football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The greatest DCM before him that revolutionised the role was 5'9" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentford can't sell half the team though. thats assuming Deano rates him like you and i do? Personally he would be my no 1 target for the RW.

Adam2003 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Jay Rodriguez apparently available for 5m... OK scores with his hands, yadda yadda, but has scored 15 goals in a PL season before now. I'd take him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him for about 10 minutes and straight away you could tell he was a player. There must be lots of similar talent out there. Look at Mahrez and kante as other examples.

Thats2 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 17 minutes ago, thunderball said: I am sure its part of the "sustainability" ethos and plan. It won't happen over night and part of why Brentford do so well bringing these guys on, aside from great scouting, is they play them week in week out. But this is because they are mid table Championship and can afford the breathing space of middling expectation. Cant see us giving many youngsters the chance to prove themselves in the first team week after week any longer. The Premier League status just can't risk it and errors are exploited so readily by very good opponents and managers. Fair enough. Hopefully we can get to a point where we buy the Maupays and Benrahmas and loan them out, then. But Kante was thrust directly into the PL, Sancho made his name in the Bundesliga. Gueye was decent for us and clearly PL quality, Richarlison, Mane, Vertonghen, Eriksen - all originally signed for less than 12M, all blooded in the PL. Sigurdsson, Mahrez and Alli played in the lower leagues but hit the ground running in the PL too. I hope our scouts find us that type of player, for those types of deals. And we all seem to be think Guilbert’s going straight into the team at RB though he was signed to help us in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Apparently there was a clause added last year for Rodriguez. £5m buy-out, with an additional £5m in 12 months. Is he worth £10m? Possibly, but when you factor in that the money goes to baggies and that he’s a handballing gobshite, I’d rather we give him a miss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I’d love to sign Benrahma and Bowen for 30m. Doubt it would be possible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it would be possible though. to be fair Bowen only has 1 year on his contract (with a 1 year possible extension), so why not? 20-30m for Bowen & Benhrama would sort our wings out big time, then add Jota for 4m for versatility and that side of stuff is done? El Ghazi, Bowen, Benhrama, Grealish, Jota, McGinn competing for 4 forward thinking midfield roles (AML, MC/AMC, AMR). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted June 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Was on loan at Hull this year... but I must’ve missed him as I don’t remember the name. Edit: not sure how reliable the original source, Pete O’Rourke, is? He’s freelance so could just be cooking up a story to get some clicks.
