Absolutely yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! But wouldn't they have to kill Ben as he would know his voice/identity?

Perhaps, although I had thought Ben did some of them remotely - Roy, can you confirm?

The larger question then becomes... is Ben worth the sacrifice?

Heard from a very decent source, Prince is expected to win the case.

I know we abuse him and seemingly prefer McCabe, but he’s not really done a great deal wrong. He was out his depth initially with little knowledge of footb

Update. As stated previously the interest in Mousset was strong, appears things have moved quickly there. On Maupay, whatever these Brentford fans may say, the fee is agreed with Brentford and he is free to talk to the club and others, it’s a waiting game and his agent is doing what agents do, playing one club off against another for the best deal for the player and himself. The interest in McBurnie is very, very serious and it’s hoped a deal will be reached. Osborn isn’t far off at all. Henderson is sorted absolutely nothing to worry about. It also appears the Prince would like Wilder to sign a big foreign name. So with all the above, it appears we might be splashing more cash than anyone anticipated.

Maupay seems extremely money motivated, that’s a battle we won’t win. If he wasn’t money motivated he’d be here by now. We move on.

Why does he ? Maybe he wants to see what other offers he gets i think maupay wants to come to us but i am sure hed also like to go to west ham and villa if they were in for him

RC, this is incorrect...

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

We're obviously just buying Mousset so Maupay has another Frenchie to knock around with. All about the team spirit.

Not the daftest thing I’ve ever heard that even if it was tongue in cheek. Maybe Mousset and NM are mates do we know?

 

[BushBlade]

Can we not have another thread ruined by Bees fans and the same circular arguments? Who thought we’d find a debate even more boring than Brexit.

Yes. We just need to resist the urge to reply to them. They’re only posting so much because posters keep disagreeing with them. There’s about 20 pages of ‘we’ve agreed a fee’ “no you haven’t” and ‘Brentford are shit’ “No we’re not”.

100% tongue in cheek but if it turns out we get both then I think that should qualify me for ITK status

 

[s4-blade]

Right so, I know there’s probably about a 1% chance of all this coming off but let’s dream for a minute

Henderson £2m loan fee
Osborn £3.5m
Jagielke Free
Morrison Free
Robinson £7m
Freeman £5.5m
Mousett £8m (Guess)
Maupay £16m
McBurnie £16m

We’ll be spending £58m on fees right there. Add in the money for a big name foreign signing at we’re probably topping £70m.

Obviously it will almost certainly not all happen but fuck me what’s happened to our club

Unless that decent source is Justice Fancourt no-one other than him currently knows what the outcome will be. Expected to win means an assumption based on an individual assessment of the evidence presented in Court. There are many possible variables of win and lose that may arise as the Court threads covered.

What tosh, we have been told there is no money to spend, not even the £20 million figure that was touted.

Let down by the board again United

 

[Houso]

Yeah, can someone check Dave's source please?

I've never seen Ben in person so Cadette could do a podcast via Skype with a voice distorter and we wouldn't have to kill Ben. Win win

 

[blade67]

For all the bitching and backbiting over the last few days, couldn’t care less about the glory of being ITK. I’m a fan like everyone else that gets to know a little bit of info that maybe I shouldn’t pass on, but know how keen people are to hear good news. Might not get them all right as things change and move quickly but what I pass on is genuine information. I’ll leave it at that.

Anyone with a brain understands this. Personally I'm glad to hear some sensible rumours, if they happen great, if they don't my world doesn't collapse and I never feel the need to call out anyone who wants to post some info they have heard

And we'd still need some defenders!

The way you've taken to pods of late I would have thought you were firmly in the kill Ben (and wear his face as a mask) camp...

Hang on a minute before we all go striker crazy.
Cant see how we're going to try and sign Robinson, Mousett, Maupay and McBurnie to add to Sharp and McGoldrick?! (and that's on the assumption that Clarke and Evans are definitely leaving too).
That'll basically give us 6 strikers which appears a little top heavy to me (don't get me wrong what with injuries, suspensions etc. it's good to have plenty of options but imagine trying to keep 6 of them happy!)
Now I know Warnock liked his strikers but I just cant see Sir Chris going for 6 and if anything he'll be looking at 5 max surely??

Robinson can play in attacking midfield or wide, Mcgoldrick can play attacking midfield, Mousett can play wide. There are certainly options. I doubt we’ll have all 6 though, most likely to not come I’d say would be maupay.

Gone are the days my erections were violent .

Last violent one was Spring 2004 I seem to recall .

 

[bertieblade]

I assume it’s Maupay or McBurnie and I would prefer McBurnie.

You're probably right mate. I see it being two more of Maupay, McBrunie or Mousset. I look at it as adding players who can do it for the next ten years (hopefully) whilst the budget allows. Don't get me wrong, Sharp is in the shape of his life and McGoldrick is pure filth, but they're both in the twilight of their careers so it can't last forever.

Robinson, Maupay and Mousset can all play in more than one position too - I think versatility and adaptability formation wise is arguably the only thing we missed last season.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Why does he ? Maybe he wants to see what other offers he gets i think maupay wants to come to us but i am sure hed also like to go to west ham and villa if they were in for him

“He wants to see what other offers he gets” “I think he wants to come to us”
“He’d also like to go to West Ham and Villa”.

Quite a confusing response. If he wanted to come to us he would have by now providing the information is correct regarding the fee being agreed.

Where's JL94x4 when you need him to confirm these rumours?

Richard Cadette? or Ben?
