We will take maupay, benrahma and konsa for tree fiddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a good prospect and, selfishly, I think he could be good alongside Mings. We can give you Chester or Hogan in p/x. I don’t rate him even top championship let alone PL thought he was a liability at times defending.Looks very comfortable on the ball like all our defence but weak in the air imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 The rumoured opening bid for Benrahma is on the low side, for sure - obviously there'll be some negotiation there. I'd definitely agree with the Brentford fans that they'll get a fair bit more for him than 9mil or so, probably around 15. Hope we sign him though.

VILLAMARV Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Any of these star-player for Championship teams players (Lolley, Benrahma, Bowen, Maupay etc) are all going to be looking for between 10-20m imo. Lolley, due to his age might be a bit cheaper than the others but they're not going to bend over and ask us to take them off their hands. All players that would improve us though.

Unless they've got financial issues, there's no way they're selling for 10mil or under IMO. If Forest's extremely shady owner gets locked up, that might change Lolley's price but other than that, they'll be looking for fair reflections of their value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Tomori available for 10m apparently. If no Axel, I'd take him next to Mings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) There's so much talent in the leagues abroad it's complete lunacy to by any of those championship players for £15-20 million. I guess them being adjusted to the English game and culture is an argument for it though, I'll admit to that.

Taylor just can't be a first team regular. Agreed I don’t think he’s good enough, but I wonder if in the club’s list of priorities they will think Taylor has played a couple of hundred Prem games, never been relegated, can probably do a job for a year with all the changes elsewhere... or will see Hause as a starting option there.

Mazrim Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Brentford don't have a monopoly on good players. Instead of raiding them and getting stung, I'd rather we looked for our own bargains. We can get better players for less money and make our bugdet stretch further. This is basically what Suso is there for. I do wonder though, if we have bid 10m euros for Benrahma, it is to trigger a release clause. Smith would know if there was one. Players moving to Brentford know its basically been a showroom. I don't mean that as an insult. So if you're a good player you would definitely consider insisting on a release clause in your contract so you dont get priced out of a move to a bigger club.

We need an upgrade on Taylor but it’s not a priority like other positions are and he keeps continuity. He looked fairly robust defensively last season, but pretty limited going forward, here in lies the improvement but perhaps we can spend money more effectively at the moment?

It's also worth remembering that the championship is a strong league too and certainly more competitive and harder physically than many in Europe. If a player can hack it and impress, it's a good sign IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 There's no way they'll get £20m straight up for Benrahma, certainly not a 'starting price' as one poster here alluded to. People have started to become wary of buying players from Brentford, very few of them seem to go on to do much outside of the machine. I don't think that'll be the case with Benrahma, but it will be in the minds of owners up and down the land. It'll end up in the region of £15m with add ons and of course their owner will take it. Adding him to El Ghazi and Jota it becomes less of a gamble and more a calculated strategy, should it be us he comes to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular bids are for all those boring championship links. Cheeky bids for players who might get us to 7th a little quicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion but he's a nailed on PL player and not a risk. I'd pay 15 to 20m for him without hesitation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
