Thanks as always for your posts in here. I would like Benrahma. I think from what I’ve seen of Watkins at this level, I’d be surprised if Benrahma is as good but who knows? I don’t think we’ll sign him but another Brentford player couldn’t hurt! You mention it’s an agent issue. No doubt another greedy bastard trying to take 2/3m for himself for doing hardly anything. See you next year when we’ll be having this same discussion about Henry/Toney ;-). What are they like btw? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones. I absolutely give benefit of the doubt. Not once did I assume your countless posts about wanting a big, tough, energetic man sitting deep were to do with anything other than football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't played FM for many years and can't remember that being an option there. Anyway, I know a person with a 1+1 year option in an english club. And it means that the club can activate the second year if they feel the need for it, if they don't he's a free agent again. That depends pn how well he plays, of course. If he plays well then they will acticate it so that he can't leave for another club for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does just cover the obscene wages that you have to pay in the PL though, the parachute payments aren't there to reward failure, they're to ensure the relegated teams don't immediately go into administration for being unable to pay the players. I'd wager Brentford must have more cash in their bank accounts than most relegated teams do, despite the parachute payments Admittedly clubs like Norwich have manipulated the system by coming up, spending no money and going back down just to get the cash, but not too many teams do that as most want to be competitive in the top flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We purchased the land nearly 10 years ago in a backwater bordering Chiswick W4, an area that has now sky rocketed in land value so much so that we exchanged some land to developers who are building almost 900 Apartments next to the stadium, that paid for the stadium, plus I believe that we also came away with £10-£15 million pounds, we are fortunate to have an English owner who is not only a very astute business man but a life long Bee's fan who used to hitchhike up and down the country in his teens just to watch them play.
