hippo Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I just imagine anyone called Ollie Watkins to be sitting in a working man's club playing dominoes or be secretary of the local crown green bowling club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told you that Brentford would win . It will be interesting if you keep the same strategy in the PL. You will need to keep all your best players if you want to stand a chance of staying up and shouldn't rely on undervalued players from lesser leagues adapting quickly.

He lacks pace and strenght and has a lot of defensive errors. Because Ajax only attacks in the Eredivisie it wasn´t too big of an concern, but it was still very visible and isn´t very highly rated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have bought majority shit player's for over 10 years. Guy's i'd never recommend in all that 10 or so years, pure crap, crap We need adopt Brentford model.

I dont really see this hype and wide players tend to fade quicker He is actually older than Grealish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no clue as to whether he would recover, be able to raise his game to PL or whether that 25 to 30 could be better spent elsewhere. That is 3 question marks compared to the single Q's from el ghazi and Trez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keener window-cleaner Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Last season it was said that we were planning for two scenarios, one being if we would go up and the other if we would stay inte the Championship. My impression is that several of the players that were first choice and scouted for the PL scenario we didn't get, and that we had to settle for the ones that actually were intended for our Championship scenario. We made bids for Webster, Phillips and Benrahma, but were priced out of all of them and went for Engels, Nakamba and Trezeguet for example. Engels was rumoured to be a target for Brentford, so a Championship player. Nakamba we were rumoured to be after in January, also part of the Championship scenario. Trezeguet I don't know if he would go to a Championship club, but was clearly not first choice. Guilbert was bought in January and thus also included in the Championship scenario. El Ghazi was a really good Championship player and obviously we made his loan permanent, but he was still a Championship player as such. To me the clearly PL scenario players were only Heaton, Mings, Targett, Luiz and Wesley (though Abraham was first choice). The rest were more or less the Championship scenario players that we went for having not been able to bring in our primary targets. Now this is not really a critique, we probably didn't have much chioce and did our best, but may be an explanation to why we struggled to stay in the PL. Of the other players only Grealish and McGinn were PL class, so that leaves us with 7 PL standard players at the beginning of the season, of which 3 were new to the league. I think many of our players have adapted and I would now call many of them PL standard players, at least lower table PL players. But this summer we cannot do the same, we really need to add at least 4 proper PL players, and not players who will need 6 months to a year to adapt, but players who can go stright into the team and perform on a top half PL level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
