Popular Post Gillz Posted August 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Based on all the links, speculation and twitter guff, i now have my 'list' of what i'd like to see and think is realistic ST: Watkins RW: Buendia LW: Rashica CM: McKennie That probably about £80m give or take - so maybe there's a bonus buy in there which will come completely out of left-field. Either way, i'd be happy with the above for sure Edited August 21, 2020 by Gillz grammar 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENTLEMAN Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 13 minutes ago, rayk said: Back to the rumoured meeting with Juve sporting director Fabio Paratici, I know others have mentioned Mattia Perin, but given we’ve been linked to big money deals for Ramsdale, Henderson, Cillessen, I’m surprised no one has mentioned Szczesny? Unlikely I know but until we see the direction of travel with the first signing or two......you never know? Meanwhile back on planet Earth.... Got a feeling you're going to be mighty disappointed come the end of the transfer window, if you're expecting us to sign the no. 1 goalkeeper of super-club Serie A champions (for the previous nine seasons) and perennial CL knock-out stagers. The old lady is still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 59 minutes ago, GENTLEMAN said: Of course. Although you have to wonder if this will affect Brentford's ability to bring in the type of player they have done in the past. The clubs whole transfer MO is 'stepping stone' and to act as a gateway to a 'bigger' club, offering a clear progression route. If Brentford start putting larger and larger fees (which is their right) above their players heads, some players may think better of joining. Maybe that was part of the thinking for Toney. also clubs selling to Brentford may wise up and ask for heftier fees.....what goes around comes around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, i'd be happy with the above for sure I'd be happy with that, it would definitely improve us over last season. I'd still quite like Edouard though, but that's maybe unrealistic if we were to spend £80m on those four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post skarroki Posted August 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2020 I wish we had Bielsa at the club so we could have already attracted some amazing players like Joe Gelhardt from Wigan and Cody Dramah from the Fulham academy. Also the constant niggling worry that he'll walk out of the club at any point in September when it's not going his way would add to the excitement. Am I doing it right @villalad21?? 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds crack me up. They’ve been humbled by Brighton over this Ben White deal. I truly believe they came up thinking, ‘this will be easy, everyone wants to play for Leeds’. By all accounts they’ve got a transfer budget in the region of 50m and I read somewhere they have to pay a team a shed load of money for Augustin on the basis they got promoted. They probably need 5/6 players and the reality of how much players cost at this level is finally hitting home. They’ll need to be extremely shrewd with the players they sign if they want to stay up next season. As things stand, they have 2/3 good players and a decent team spirit. Without home fans, it will be tough for them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Leeds and the bullish arrogance about their chances in the Prem and the wonders Bielsa will achieve is exhausting. The guy is a very good coach, not a magician. Augustin didn't start a game for them and Bielsa doesn't like him but they're likely going to have to cough up £18mil for him. However the longer the dispute goes on for, the less money Leipzig have which could help us get Rashica? So I'm happy they're fighting it. They're in a much worse state than we are up front, have a weak defence without White and their goalkeeper is a living, breathing disaster zone. Going to be a tough season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-news-elabdellaoui-18806220.amp?__twitter_impression=true Quote Omar Elabdellaoui rejected the chance to join Aston Villa when he signed for Galatasaray this week, according to reports. The former Manchester City full-back has been linked with Villa for several months going back to before the January transfer window. Villa reportedly watched him in action in December when Olympiacos beat Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League. Elabdellaoui's contract in Greece expired in the summer and he penned a three-year deal with Galatasaray earlier this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 2 hours ago, TRO said: I think it leaves too much work in the middle to play 2 at one time.......one can switch flanks to gain advantage.....and Grealish can go wide on occasions. unless we have top quality ones....they get underused and become passengers. I just think that the level of player that we’ll be going for will be players who cost upwards of £20m but still aren’t completely proven at the level that we want to be at, despite being ‘better’ signings than what we got last year. Therefore I don’t think it’ll hurt to have rotation in there. As an example, Rashica or someone like Dwight McNeil (Burnley) would both cost £30m+ each (probably £35-40m for McNeil), but you still wouldn’t be getting players that guarantee you 7/10 performances every week, so having rotation options that also allow Grealish to move centrally to alter our shape seems like a good idea to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVE it if they went down though...up there with the most deluded of fanbases and this season is just going to be one great big leeds wankfest from the media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, i'd be happy with the above for sure Love them all except Watkins. I'll be in the minority but I just don't see as it as much of an upgrade. Che Adams looked more dangerous in the Champ and he has scored once and that was an open goal. Maybe that's cause I don't want to be Brentfords little money tree and it's clouding some judgement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
