Popular Post PieFacE Posted July 11, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) It amazes me how many English footballers are religious and are constantly thanking "God" for their success. Annoys the hell out of me. Guess this is a subject for a different thread tho. Edited July 11, 2019 by PieFacE 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jonjon Posted July 11, 2019 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) 7 hours ago, KMitch said: Brentford are a club which is run like a business trying to turn a profit vs a football club trying to get promoted. They're punching well above their weight right now, but when you're gambling on a bunch of unknown tryers and every offseason end up selling the ones who were the best performers, then not reinvesting the funds into more quality, it gets hard to progress up the table. Because they aren't reinvesting most of their profits into more players, they're essentially gambling on progression every season. Moneyball only gets you so far, when you have a small budget. It's going to take some luck for them to get promoted without spending more in the transfer market. Bournemouth sold players during their meteoric rise, but reinvested the funds into the next level up of targets and held on to their key players when there weren't great replacements available. Brentford, on the other hand, seem content to be a Championship mid-table feeder club for bottom-half Premier League teams. Congrats on getting Ezri by the way, you will not be disappointed with him, he will go along way, good business for you and another few millions in the kitty for us, keeps both clubs happy. Our owner had a plan worked on the “moneyball” system, (a word he hates by the way) he prefers analytics and statistics that run along side his own business (SmartOdds), With our new stadium nearly ready for next year we are now investing our players sales profit at long last to get to the promised land, we have made £28 million profit on 4 players this year so far, we have just reinvested in 5 new players for £19 million in the last couple of weeks, a sum by far the greatest we have ever spent, in fact we have only spent £36.6 million in transfers in 129 years!!! We have two more players in the pipeline that can be purchased with the sale of Maupay, (probably to you), so things are now slowly changing here and hopefully if promotion comes we will be able to stop selling. Good luck with this season, you will be fine with Dean at the helm, who knows, we might be up there with you sooner than later.

HalfTimePost Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Anyone think he got him cheaper than £12m with the 'undisclosed' fee? Understand they are normally always undisclosed nowadays but would have thought less likely when it's a well-known clause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Villan4Life Posted July 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2019 i'm very happy with this signing, First saw him last August live scouting at Stoke City vs Brentford (Stoke's first home game of season 18/19) and was excellent! Impressed me every time watched him since.. Love these type of signings bags of potential 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never known a minimum fee release clause to include any kind of sell on fee clause. Do you know of any examples where it has? As I understand it once an offer reaches the minimum fee in the clause the selling club no longer has any say in clauses etc. of the deal, so it would of had to of been agreed with Konsa and his agent when he signed for you, and then we'd of had to of agreed to it when our bid was accepted. You may be right I just can't recall it ever happening before so it may be a unique deal if it is the case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Personally I think this is a great signing, konsa for 12m or Webster for 30m, no competition I'm afraid with how prudent we need to be. Especially due to the fact we can't be too stupid with the cost of purchases. Edited July 11, 2019 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) I just read that he was born and raised in North-East London and is a Spurs fan. Well he might make his debut against them! I imagine it feels a bit weird for a player when they play against the team they support as a fan. Edited July 11, 2019 by robby b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
