The benefit is that they are already settled in England. We saw with Veretout and others, it takes time (and not a thick manager tbf) so by buying from Brentford we are buying settled players and thus are worth the price - imho. We might get cheaper elsewhere and abroad, but we'd have to give them time to learn the English fame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Championship players have to adjust to the PL too. There's no guarantees. I wouldn't pay a premium because they are settled in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 No different really in price to PL squad players. Lets see what we pay for Mings.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the positive now is that we have a good team in charge who should do the research, plus a manager who will do his best to get the player up to speed. It's a nice conversation to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all of that but think we need Maupay more than Benrahma next season if we want a top six finish.Maupay would be a big gamble in PL,yes I would say thatbut you are talking similar money for Mitrovic at Fulham who is a far better and still only 24.I expect you are right about the deal that will get done.Remember Dean has seen him in training and is more aware than most of his talent.

VILLAMARV Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Said it in the other thread but we currently have 9 first team players (over 21) who are 'Homegrown' we need a minimum of 8 in the 25 man squad. Assuming Mings and Hause join it would be up to 11. Quote Steer, Chester, Mings, Hause, Taylor, Bree, Lansbury, Tshibola, Grealish, Hourihane and Hogan can see a few of those leaving in an ideal world.

villabromsgrove Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Mings and Tomori coached by Terry could become a top Premier partnership. Schindler and Hause as back up with Chester's dodgy knee being an issue, and CB's are sorted for the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken The Villan Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I am happy that our perceived targets are mainly championship based for many reasons already discussed here, mainly that they shouldn't take as long to settle as already adjusted to living here (along with their families) which is huge considering how many players we simply have to buy to have a viable squad. Getting as many of the loan players back will help as well where possible. Adding that their wages should be on the side of manageable that we can keep them should we go down and suddenly start having to comply to profit and sustainability rules. If we have a good season it creates a platform to go buy those luxury players we all crave next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that's the premium you players for English talent.

HalfTimePost Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Think 40-50m would be Grealish' inflated worth with a good season. 80m+ happens more regularly than before but is still for the best players in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
