Maybe James should be more careful what he tells total strangers he meets in a pub. In his position he should know better possibly. All I did was repeat what he told us.
It can't be discounted that the Mooney is feeding you a pile of horseshit. I have a feeling he has done it before
Brentford board seem to be losing hope that they can keep him. 500k is not going to be a deal breaker. He left the field on Saturday right away...head down...not acknowledging the crowd. In his mind he's gone. Should be done and dusted tomorrow as Mooney indicated. QPR have dropped Austin's price to 13 mill. from 15 mill. apparently.
We need to hurry up and get him through the door with Boro and Derby firing blanks on the opening day and both wanting a new striker.
Alan Nixon is linking Derby to him. Saying they'll wait until we agree a fee and then jump in to avoid a bidding war. Would be a bad move for him though imo with Bent and Martin his game time would be limited. Boro though are desperate for a striker, could see them jumping in. Rhodes deal now looks to be off and they were today linked with Crouch
That's mental. There's nothing wrong with Bent, he's a good striker at this level and his age is nothing to do with his ability. They also have Mason Bennett. And, if they play him there, Tom Ince.
It does when he's a player who's game revolves around running behind the defence and beating the enemy to the ball. I know you like to think players are good til their mid eighties, but they do start to lose their speed and nimbleness on their 30th birthday.
Still think we could offer a better deal than both boro and Derby throw in the fact that we have odubajo and I think he would defiantly come here .
