useless Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Not sure Hickey will be guaranteed game time at Brentford, Rico Henry looked one of their best players whenever I saw them last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I trust Brentford 100% and £15m feels fairer. Apparently will rise to 22 with add ons etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s crafting his career on playing games, rather than joining a big team and hoping he gets the chance But to him, looking from the outside and while we are the bigger we finished around the same area in the league, neither are likely to touch European places and he gets guaranteed football there and if successful get a top six move in a couple of years time. As fans we think we are massively bigger than Brentford but to outsiders we are a big club that have finished in the bottom half of the table for three seasons… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Brentford making him their record signing and not playing him. Presumably he'll be straight in at right back as well as covering for Henry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also got a brilliant free transfer signing in Kamara who would have cost £25m+ in a transfer fee in normal circumstances. So like nearly £100m worth of players have been signed and we've sold Matt Targett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he does end up a back-up option there, no kids ever going to threaten his place at Brentford as they have no youth system. Whereas you'd hope at Villa our talented young fullbacks will be pushing for backup spots in a year or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no chance he goes to Leeds, he’d turn that down. No way is he leaving Barca for Leeds after they sold their only two good players and they’d only just avoided relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Brentford can sign Hickey, whilst having " good enough " Fullbacks for competetion, but us, who supposedley have ambitions of being top 6 - 8, have meltdowns about going after quality players in positions we have other " good " players.

Lol ( Fans I mean ) Whether or not he's better than Henry can be debated, but as he's two-footed and immediately their best option at RB he will be starting anyway. I've not seen these meltdowns you're talking about, although I don't think fans having differing opinions creates some sort of group hypocrisy when the opinions clash.

We've 2 months to do more. I think the left back needs to come in before we go to Australia ideally. Then it's based on players leaving and potentially being replaced.

Also looking around the bottom half and thinking like who's big enough or ambitious enough to try and get him and I'm not sure the PL is like that anymore, we all have money Palace as a replacement for ayew, random guess but at the same time why not? It's not unfathomable that they'd try and do it, wouldn't be their record transfer either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Chrisene goes and actually gets some mins at LB so we can have a good look at him and see how far off he is The Hause op means we probably wont have him to look at playing LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
