Brentford have basically adopted a BTEC Ajax model. Ajax rely heavily on good scouting and players coming through, then selling for a profit, using some of it to bring in the next exciting player they've noticed and the process starts all over again, all the while maintaining being able to challenge every season. Donny Van De Beek Frenkie De Jong Hakim Ziyech Sergino Dest Matthijs De Ligt Kasper Dolberg Justin Kluivert Davinson Sanchez Davy Klaasen Jairo Riedewald All left in the last few years and they've still got a squad that can compete - they've brought in a Brazilian lad called Antony who looks like he could be something special, even though he's still very raw at the moment.
Looks to be a busy day for an old friend of ours... Forest and Olympiacos are owned by the same person - Evangelos Marinakis...
Bit of a scam really, he's not really signing for Olympiacos, he's just signing for Forest without appearing on their balance sheet.
It is a scam to get around FPL rules, the EFL must surely clamp down on this when they get around to it, just like they did with purchasing own stadiums...
I doubt they'll bother, not unless it involves a significant amount of players, or players with a much higher value than Grosicki, it's not enough of a big deal.
Anything significant happening in the transfers window? It’s today - right?? Any rumours? Any helicopters at hymers??
If I've understood correctly it's 11pm for international deals but Oct 15 for domestic deals. No rumours.
George Long currently having medical at Specsavers prior to a move to Liverpool. He couldn't do any worse than that Adrian bloke.
