The Fun Factory Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 They are a well run club. To see a comparatively small club running rings around lumbering former giants such as Wednesday, Derby and Forest is quite impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXD Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I would imagine them doing a Norwich should they come up. Not spending any money, their current squad showing talent but relegated at the end of the season. then selling their most valuable assets and combined with the TV money and parachute payments, building on a better squad and bigger club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have their last game at the stadium with no fans is a real shame. Most Bees I know have long since come to terms with it. A new stadium has been in the offing for two decades now and I think everyone is just pleased to be moving up the road. If you’ve ever been to GP, you’ll know what a special place it is to watch football but you’ll also know how ramshackle, falling down building it is. So many happy memories of the place, I’ve spent the last couple of years making sure I had plenty of photos and while it’s a shame to have not been allowed in there for a while, even if they don’t win the playoff final, the club is on the up.

JoshVilla Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I have a Brentford supporting friend who has a borderline bloser-like obsession with us, so for that reason I hope they get battered in the final (plus the ever loveable Pontus Jansson plays for them, so....) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made quite a few enemies in the championship who despise us and we give no **** about. Think all they liked their days out at the big ground and want to stay in touch. Brentford really enjoyed themselves v us actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 One of their coaches is joining Arsenal to replace Fredrik Ljungberg. Andreas Georgsson formerly at Malmö FF, apparently he specializes in set pieces. Arsenal raided them for their GK coach Inaki Cana earlier in the year. Wonder is they have any throw in specialist coach we can nick, we badly need one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 10 for Toney already this season, shrewd pickup. Dont think we should have went for him at this time if honest as maybe 2 divisions is too big of a step for a striker but good business for Brentford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Toney they did exactly the same as we did for Watkins, paid a large fee for the top scorer from the league below in the belief they'd step up.

HanoiVillan Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 They absolutely deserve a huge amount of credit for finding good players with their system, but let's be real, Toney was hardly flying below the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Brentford in to top 2, although granted only 2 points ahead of Swansea but played 1 more. I tend to think automatic promotion is well within their own hands this season, will be interesting to see if they can do the business this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ie: Benrahma, Maupay), as well as other foreign lower league diamonds? Similar to Buendia at Norwich....they wouldnt have been able to sign him wither i dont think under these new rules? I really hope we find a way in England not to ruin development opportunities for rough diamonds...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This only applies to players from Europe I believe and it’s not that straight forward but the club are addressing this and we do scout players all round the world.
