None of those are in the last four years because I gave up after looking through those and seeing good loan signings in each year. Wilks worked out ok as a loan? Kane when fit was good from Liverpool but his injuries let him down, Bowler had promise and we've seen him come on now at Blackpool.. Slater was a loan. Adelakun first half then Whyte second half were brilliant in League One. Then Longman and Baxter last season. It's really not that hard to find examples at all. Permanent signings do not have a much higher success rate, that's a daft sweeping generalisation. Not a daft example but you hate loans, seems there's no changing you.
Promotion isn't realistic?, might be an idea to look at the depth of the squad and there is still more quality to come , upstairs i think they believe promotion this season is what they want even though they say 2 years or so they want it this season. Docherty won't be going anywhere i think he is a workhorse and he will definitely improve with what is around him.
Forss was probably loaned to us to give Brentford an insiders view of KLP's pedigree, how he trains, how he mixes etc etc and to get inside KLP's head how good a move to London and Brentford would be for him. As a player I saw nothing in Forss that we didn't already have in abundance.
With an offer like that on the table it was impossible to keep KLP here. Seems everybody is happy ? Acun has virtually got a Championship club for nothing, previous owners pocket a nice little windfall, KLP set up for life and Brentford think they've signed a future England international. Who ever KLP's agent is will also be smug today because he was hawking KLP around clubs and seemed to have a vested interest in pushing him in Brentford's direction over a year ago, and we wouldn't have got £16m for him if Ehab had of took the bait then.
They won’t be there that long and if relegated his wage will no doubt be cut… be so funny to pass them as they come down… I told you so daft lad
Forssure, it is clear now. Such forssight by Brentford. Forss reenforssing what a forss Brentford will be for the forsseable future. KLP had it forssed into his gullible mind, forssing Acun's hand, and ultimately forssaking the mighty Tigers.
More plausible than , "we know your struggling we will give you a frontman to help we will cover most of his wages if you give us first dibs at KLP?.
regardless of Brentford’s top flight status, KLP’s will not change beyond this season. He’ll as likely have a relegation release clause as he would have a pay cut clause.
Don't agree about his work ethic, he worked as hard as anyone in the team when he played wing back. I think he did his fair share of tracking back and closing down. Good luck to him. I do agree that we got the better end of the deal tho.
Baxter McLoughlin Fig Greaves RWB Seri CDM Tufan Fleming Oscar Tetteh I don't think that would be a bad line up either, similar to how we played under Bruce. Not sure what it means for Allahyar...
Ndayishimiye linked again the other day and Peretz too. Definitely need some size in that midfield. Ndayishimiye also covers centre back so would be a welcome addition to me, Peretz looks to be a very well rounded midfielder who does the dirty side very well too. Them 2 plus a versatile forward and potentially a right sided full back/wing back would be what I’d be hoping for.
So at best it has been handled badly then because everyone knew he wanted away the minute the big clubs came knocking so why not take the higher offers? If you're right he has sat and watched the price come down before realising KLP didn't want to stay. Seems to me Tiger Boy is right to be a bit cautious, we have seen very little happen yet, just a lot of promises and a very strange and jumbled way of announcing important things such as signings and kit. It wasn't long ago that some were going mad because he had moved them from E2 and E3. For the record I think he will turn out to be a decent owner but not sure it is that ridiculous for people to be slightly concerned and it is unfair to question their loyalty. I fully appreciate some people would let Acun have a go on their wife because they are so in love with him but some want to see his promises become reality.
