He's got Sinisalo and Marschall ahead of him here straight away (I'm excluding Olsen as his contract expires this summer I believe). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Marschall and Sinisalo aren't ahead of this player, that doesn't make sense, if they were we wouldn't be interested in him, because we don't need another player of that level, in addition to Marscahll and Sinisalo we also have James Wright, who is probably just as highly rated as Marscahll, and also Zych who is Poland U20 international and sometimes captain, and Sam Proctor who is one of the most highly rated academy goalkeepers in the country, hence why he's already trusted as our U21 goalkeeper despite only having just turned seventeen. This goalkeeper would have been signed to come straight into the first team squad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Must never have been that interested in him in the first place if he's gone to Brentford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Or maybe the prospect of sitting behind Emi for a few years was not particularly appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t be the number 1 for Brentford you know. And they have a younger first choice goalkeeper than us. So by my reckoning we were never seriously in for him.

osmark86 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Pretty sure Brentford are going to sell Raya and don't exactly trust Flekken to be their starting goalkeeper. Valdimarsson probably sees a chance to become their number one here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Was always surprised he was linked with us, don't think we were that interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 It's not beyond the realms of possibility that we weren't that interested or not interested at all, it's not as if the media doesn't often get transfer links wrong. But also could just be that he sees a clearer pathway to becomeing Brentford's No.1 than he does with us, also maybe Brentford's links to Scandinavia could have helped. It seemed a strange link to me anyway, as he's in that area where he's further along with his development than our academy or U21 goalkeepers, so wouldn't have been a replacement for them, but also without knowing anything about Swedish football, not sure if he's done enough to come in as our No.2 I still wouldn't be surprised to see us go for Josh Griffiths, but would cost a lot more than this player, probably a similar fee to Rogers, who he kind of has a similar profile to, in the sense of coming through Albion academy, and doing well enough at Championship level to become a well regarded young player, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I'm guessing he may see more of a pathway to first team at Brentford. If as good as suggested, that we be another healthy profit grab for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
