Summer window

Just been looking at Brentford transfers, fantastic to see how careful management and sales has got them where they are. Selling their stars regularly and reinvesting. Wonder if their fans bitched on like some of ours when they sold konsa and maupay for big amounts like some of ours are going on about Clarke and Stewart?

Vauxie or Dobby as I know him is a ****ing half wit. Always complaining to the mods when people tell him some home truths.

 

Perhaps I am being harsh. I think the right team and right level he would do a job, but I think that’s probably League 1.

 

Watkins anarl, scored about 30 goals then replaced him with a league one striker.

Brighton have profited every season they’ve been in the Prem I think.

Genuinely just annoys me when people start waffling about us not needing to sell players so I don’t get involved anymore

 

It's the dozen people liking his post that's incredible tbh.

They want a 'proper owner' ffs ...

... probably still pining for Donald

 

They're brain dead man. Every club has them.

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

 

Anyone know who is thought of more highly him or Hemir? Or who is considered the better player?

 

I know what you’re saying but with all due respect they are Brentford

Historically a third tier club (at best). We are Sunderland

We can take lots of elements of their “model” but quite rightly we should expect to ditch certain parts - they can not and do not expect to do anything beyond have their moment in the sun, and enjoy it while they’re there. We should be looking to become a fixture in the top half of the PL, like other clubs of our ilk. That will involve an element of retaining top players (and paying them appropriately to do so) rather than always being the feeder fish in the pond.

 

Apparently he is more of a wide player so could be that dack and mayenda combined cover the positions Amad would fill? Or I could be talking utter nonsense

 

I feel awful being the one to burst your bubble mate.

 

Most of us are talking utter nonsense on here at the moment mate as we wait for things to pan out.....you are not alone!

 

Think I’m trying to convince myself those two will make up for the loss of Amad if anything

 

Leicester
Leeds
Derby
Blackburn
Southampton
Coventry
Sheff Wed
Everton
Wolves

 

C'mon you Bees

 

You say ‘we are sunderland’ but what does that even mean? We’ve won **** all for 50 years. The last time we finished higher than Brentford did last season was 23 years ago. I’d take their ‘moment in the sun’ over everything I’ve experienced in my lifetime following Sunderland

 

Speakman and Co seem very good at bringing in wingers.... and quite a few other positions...

However a key position does seem to present difficulties.

 

know what you are saying marra but right now they are in a far better position than we are and good luck to them, they deserve to be there.

 

I’d swap places with them in a heartbeat mind bud, it’s a model for those clubs without Saudi or other Middle Eastern money, or an established top six premier club. Whether we are a well supported club with a rich history or not these days it’s all about money and if we’re not got an owner with massively deep pockets then we need a sustainable model in order to advance. Brentford are doing just that.
