Say what you like Blades, but that is a balanced, informed and well made post that refutes the argument that Brentford will need to sell.
Hi accurate it is, I’m not in a position to comment but it certainly makes sense provided there are no surprises in their upcoming accounts.
One thing they do need to be wary about, is with increased fees comes increased wages! And their ability to increase turnover is limited at the moment.
So while they are likely to be making losses in football operations before transfers, the recent sales would probably balance the books.
The other thing to consider, is what exactly are Brentford trying to achieve? Promotion?? Championship contenders every season?? Whatever it is, they can’t keep selling their best players and replacing them every year/eighteen months. At some point, the new arrivals won’t be a success and they are one bad season from a bit of a mess- players not making good fees to balance the books.
In the end though, it makes a change for United to be the team forcing the issue, the one offering what players like Maupay want-Premier league . And for some players, and I’m sure Maupay is one of them, they want to be playing there if they have any ambition for their career.
And United are one of the few Premier league sides prepared to take him on, AND more or less assure him he’s going to play!
