    You’d back Brentford to recruit well but an overhaul isn’t always straightforward. I remember a team in 2011, looked like they had a decent chance of europe in the January time then over the course of the January window and the summer lost Darren bent, Gyan, welbeck and Henderson. Never recovered from it after replacing them with weaker players.

    Brentford are far better ran than we were so you’d think they’ll be sound, but it’s not always easy nailing replacing say 4 starters.

    I mean when my cousin said there’s no chance Brentford get relegated I replied “bet you would’ve said the same thing about Leicester 3 years ago”

    Great signing for them, would have been a solid squad addition for us.

    Not one to lose sleep over in any way shape or form.

    I get the feeling Doyle was on our championship list, cracking signing for them

    only annoyance is the narrative that Birmingham have “beaten” us to him

    You never know, just takes one poor manager appointment or some bad injuries and you’re in a rut. I don’t think Brentford will go down either but I’d rather they’d be losing players than just adding and getting better. Got to take every % we can to stay up.

    Brentford could definitely fall.

    Yes they are well run, but attracting players to play in a half empty stadium with no real passion ain’t easy.

    These players they are losing they got at a time when they were fresh in league and it was a bit vibrant.

    It’s gone a bit flat there I don’t see people falling over themselves to go there over Su deep and, Leeds or Wolves.

    They are defo purely one we need to be aiming to outrun.

    I agree with most of this. I'm inclined to trust the ownership completely, but either I'm a bad judge of where upgrades are needed (very likely), the club are targeting the wrong positions (less likely) or we're planning on spending £150-200m on 8-10 players (both exciting and scary).

    I still don’t see how some people don’t think LW isn’t a position we need to upgrade. We only have Mundle, who’s suffered from two hamstring injuries in the same season. The wings are going to be the most important positions we need to counter attack well and create goals

    Good player that lad. Really good bit of glue in midfield for Brentford. They'll miss him

    Mundle isn't that good either. Plenty of potential but you need a lot more than just him for a full PL season

    He's only just turned 22. He's getting in most Premier League teams. And he's going to cost a bit more after today. He was outstanding
