GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 1 hour ago, useless said: Ezri Konza who some have mentioned as as a possible signing for us is about to join Wolves for £12m, according to The TImes. Damn it. Really could do without that happening as it'll only serve to steal their resolve on both Benrahma and Maupay (both of whom I think would be awesome signings).

Mazrim Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 20m for a Brentford player, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Konsa is still seen as very much a 'raw' talent who still needs a lot of coaching to his game, that will be the reason that he wouldn't cost as much as Mings or Webster.

HalfTimePost Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 A couple of Sheffield fans seem convinced they're signing Maupay. Allegedly 11-12m rising to you-guessed-it £20m. Would've thought Brentford would get a bit more than that up-front fee if true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Been busy this weekend, finally caught up on this thread. 10 pages of fish puns and not a signing in sight! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.. and that's saying something cause I think Hogan is shite, Davis won't cut it and if I sooner had to choose.. Austin or Kodj.. it would be Jimmy Danger 8 days a week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a massive fan of Kodjia, but at least we don’t know for sure that he can’t cut it at PL level, whereas there’s plenty of evidence to suggest Austin can't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely same applies to other two? Mings was brilliant for us in the run in and I want him back but no guarentee he'd be as imperious at prem level as he really didn't play that much for Bournemouth. Webster might be good but again just played for championship clubs so far. I've said all summer, get Mings back full time and find guy experienced in european leagues who has 20-50 international caps. That strategy worked o.k getting in Mellberg, Laursen or even Vlaar after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 But Mings and Webster were both better in the Championship than Konsa, many would say they were the best two centre-backs in the division last season, which is why they'll cost more to buy.

jacketspuds Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 But with Brentford fans expecting £75m for Konsa, Maupay and Benrahma it doesn't sound like a good start for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be on massive wages like Austin would want.. and yes Kodja is unproven at PL level, equally so are some of the players we are apparantly about to blow £20m a piece on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utd buy Maupay, Brentford bid £200k for his replacement. We gazzump that bid with £500k and save on millions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
