Jareth Posted July 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2019 I know he's young but he's played a lot of games in a physical league - I'd want him thrown in from the start alongside Mings, regardless of the obvious dangers of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villabromsgrove Posted July 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2019 Brentford fans reaction to this sale surprised me at first until I remembered that they're conditioned to selling their good players. I have this image of their fans rushing off to check their bank balances, because they react excitedly as though it was their own money. If it was me and we'd sold a key young prospect I'd be really upset, but that highlights the difference in stature and ambition between the two clubs. Congratulations to Brentford for their successful money ball machine, but if I were a fan of the Bees I would be frustrated rather than ecstatic when a real prospect was sold, even though I knew the policy driving it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why we'd add a sell on clause if we met the clause though as would just be giving money away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mazrim Posted July 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2019 A lot of them are crowing that they've basically swapped Jansson who is better than Konsa and trousered 8m. They're the best run club etc. That's one way of looking at it. Another is that its not 8m, its 6.5m and that they've lost their best young defender while getting a notorious trouble causing bellend nobody else of note wanted. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. It wasnt a negotiation, no more than a compulsory purchase is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope our fans are patient, and don't write him off if he has a stinker on his debut. Remember Hause. Even more, remember Ugo. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 13 hours ago, villadodo said: I'm happy with the signing and hope he does well. Has played a huge amount of football for a 21 year old at a decent standard. Could be worth a fortune in 2 years time or be our centre back for the next 10 years. Think he might turn out to be a rotation option for now particularly if we can bring back Tuanzebe on loan. I have a slight concern when it comes to Brentford players. Mainly because if Mepham, Konsa, Henry, Maupay, Benrahma and Watkins are all as good as we've been told then why the hell did they finish 11th? Also why do their players rarely go on to hit the same heights when they leave Brentford? Maybe its because they seem to buy these players for about £500k from nowhere when they actually perform well they get a bit overhyped? When they played us off the park at their place...I was like...how the hell are they 18th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they realise that without a sugar daddy it's the only way to progress. There will be a time soon if they continue to be as successful as they have been in turning a profit on players where they will be able to spend big one summer and kick on for promotion. They are extremely well run and do things the right way on and off the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
