Seen that Newcastle and West Brom are ‘keeping tabs’ on Connor Coady. Think he’d be the final peice for me.

Good lord, pass me the tissues

RC: "Maupay and his agent now touting themselves around again as the higher end interest never materialised but think we’ve moved on"

What, that you don't look to be signing your "No.1 Target" for this transfer window?

Strange cause for satisfaction, I'd have thought.

Still, if we can manage to keep him until the window shuts, which is looking increasingly likely, then that will be our "No.1 Target" achieved.

Which would be satisfying indeed.

Yes, as achievements go you have a player who wants to leave, clearly doesn't want to remain with Brentford as this window has revealed.....if nothing else you know you have a player who will eventually leave, probably sooner rather than later. Very satisfying I'd have thought.

I mean, this is all just lovely, but you're looking at starting the season with a striker who has very very publicly been pushing for a move. He even needed some days off to get his head straight. You accepted a figure for him (NO BIDS!) and wanted him to go. But, he was holding out for the really big move... which sadly for Maups just hasn't come.

Just how focused will he be while he's thinking of other clubs and the homeland?

It's basically the same as being in a relationship with the love of your life. Sadly, Steve up the M1 flashed his cock at her and really got her attention. This lovely lengthy girth was nice enough for you to say "You know what, that cock is bigger than mine. I'm hold my hands up and end the relationship." Steve didn't even make a pass at her, but they flirted and that was enough to let her know that he wanted her. Alas Sharon thought she could get a real humdinger of a French veiny bangstick and decided to stick with you for the time being. She even went to Magaluf with the girls and had all manner of blokes grinding their groins against her. Oh she loved it, but it just wasn't right. Despite her coming home stinking of Isay Miyake and Bacardi Breezers, you welcomed her back into your bed and gave her 15 minutes of mediocre sex; her eyes vacant, she's clearly not really with you. She's just in same bed.

And the relationship continues. Neither of you happy. Both wanting out. Going through the motions. Dying a little inside every day. Both longing for another man to come along and end the sadness. And you wish Steve would come back too, but he's moved on. He's with Olivia. She's fucking magnificent... massive hairy muff, but magnificent.

Have a nice season mate xx

He may have been CW’s no.1 target but the majority on here preferred McBurnie. Looks like most of us are happy with the way things turned out. Now you have no reason to be on here trying to score points. Fuck off.

very good player but not for us at this time.Will he be ready for Birmingham match?
Good luck for next season btw

 

[FattyFatterson]

JOC to Leicester for £25 million
Fleck to West Ham for £10 Million

How does that sound?

Genuine question.......how many players (and who) have we let go/sold that we wanted to/should have kept? I assume most would have kept Brooks but as he funded other incoming players, it wasn't too much of a loss was it?

I don't care if he was initially 'number 1 target'.

A lot of us, now a majority, would prefer McBurnie. He's a better fit for what we need. There were always more 'Maupay alternatives' than 'McBurnie alternatives'.

We've now recruited as well as we possibly could have up front.

Maupay's greedy cunt of an agent isn't getting what he wants. That's satisfying. On Maupay himself, I'm indifferent.

And yes, it looks like a satisfactory outcome for Little Brentford too. So in the end, it looks like we're both winners.

Conor Coady would be an absolutely perfect signing for us. He has all of the attributes to be outstanding in the Basham role and can also cover DCM and potentially RWB. He's a great age, knows the place, a good leader and has plenty of Prem experience. He's one I wouldn't mind us throwing some money down for, he's as close to a guaranteed success as you could get.

No 1 target yes but let’s face it no Messi and let’s be honest a risk and a costly one at that

20 million is peanuts for most prem teams so it’s looking likely that you have a striker no one is truly convinced is good enough to play in a higher league and you may have unintentionally just buggered up ahh chance of making real money on him

You took a chance that someone could come in for him last moment and overpay and right now that’s looking very unlikely

So yeh good look with your number 1 target, the championship is still a decent level and maybe it’s his level or so most top teams think

Its more of a fuck you to big time charlies!

You are assuming that the deal never materialised because of NM and his Agent being BTC's.

Yet according to Richard Cadette, the Agent at least was eventually satisfied.

Now maybe NM on his own decided that he could get better elsewhere, and so turned you down?

But here's a more plausible explanation. The Agent started touting NM around some time back and realised SU were in the market for a striker. He spoke to you, saw you were v.interested, briefly overplayed his own hand (commission), but backed off so as not to scupper the deal. Terms were agreed between SU, player and agent.

SU then spoke to BFC, who were asking more than you were hoping/expecting/prepared to pay. In the end, CW would not go over his limit, as is his usual modus operandi, BFC would not go below it, as is ours, and so SU declined to lodge a bid (no point).

Which was the real reason NM's head wasn't in the right place: his best (only?) chance of getting his move to the PL this window now looked like foundering, because neither BFC or SU would budge.

As it stands, I think McBurnie is a far better fit for us right now because he offers us more in his all round play than Maupay and is more of a physical presence. Hopefully Sharp will step up to the mark again, he’s the closest striker we’ve got to Maupay, although he hasn’t quite got the pace he had when he was the same age he makes up for it in experience. If not and you’ve still got him in January we might come a calling again. Good luck for the season.

As I said a few weeks ago to your fellow Brentford fan (Plantain?) this is a Movement t-shirt owning area of the site only. You’re welcome to stay if you buy a t-shirt, otherwise I suggest returning to the thread for the Brentford player.

 

[NewBee]

Yes, as achievements go you have a player who wants to leave, clearly doesn't want to remain with Brentford as this window has revealed

Thing is, we never wanted to sell him, nor do we need to. And now it doesn't look like we will be selling him, either (fingers crossed).

Of course, if he's been distracted by PL interest which will not now be fulfilled, then that is unfortunate. But it is not something we caused, since we were never touting him around in the first place (quite the opposite, in fact).

So in the absence of some last-minute knock-out bid, the only thing which remains is for the player to accept that there is no point in sulking any more.

Rather the best way for him to get his dream move to the PL will be by knuckling down and scoring as many goals for us as he can, at least until January.

And if he does, who knows, he might even get to the PL with us?

....if nothing else you know you have a player who will eventually leave, probably sooner rather than later. Very satisfying I'd have thought.

Every single player on our books is expected to leave one way or another - we're fucking Brentford after all, not fucking Barcelona.

The only question is whether they leave on terms acceptable to us and thus far, NM/his agent haven't managed to pull off a deal that is, so he stays.

But if/when we should decide the time is right for him to go, for whatever reason, then we will be open to offers, as usual.

[NewBee]

I mean, this is all just lovely, but you're looking at starting the season with a striker who has very very publicly been pushing for a move. He even needed some days off to get his head straight.

Every time we sign a player, it is in the hope that we can help him develop into a better one.
And if/when he does, we know that he's going to want to move to bigger and better things (usually the PL, though sometimes a bigger wage in the Championship will do it). So Maupay wanting to leave is absolutely no surprise at all. If anything, it is a testament to our recruitment and coaching etc.

Of course, if a player's dream move fails to materialise, he's bound to be pissed off. But here's the thing: we're not going to ease his disappointment by substituting it with our own (i.e. reducing our fee).

So that while he's still under contract to us, which he is, then he's got to realise the best way of getting a new move to the PL is by settling down and continuing to do the job we pay him to do.

You accepted a figure for him (NO BIDS!) and wanted him to go. But, he was holding out for the really big move... which sadly for Maups just hasn't come.

Just how focused will he be while he's thinking of other clubs and the homeland?

Except we didn't. For if SU were happy, we were happy, and his agent was happy (as Richard Cadette claimed), then the only person who can have prevented the move going through would have been the player himself.

And why would he do that without another better deal on the table (or incoming)?

Being as objective as possible, I'd have thought a move to SU would be close to ideal: a progressive club clearly on-the-up, who can offer him regular PL games ("No.1 target", remember), on two or three times his present wages.

 

[NewBee]

very good player but not for us at this time.Will he be ready for Birmingham match?
Good luck for next season btw

Thank you. He might be on the bench, but who knows, he might even start, since even though he's not been playing psf's, he has still been training.

In any case, I'm led to believe yesterday evening was when "our own window closed" i.e. the time to consider bids for our players had passed, we needed to concentrate on the weekend to the exclusion of all else.

Oh and good luck to SU for next season, too.

Assuming he has another good season, yes.

But if that's the case, then you'd better be still in the PL. since another 28 goals next season would see a lot of other clubs interested, too.

As well as (another) increase in our asking price.

Give it a rest now. You won, there were no bids, Maupay is happy at Brentford and is worth zillions. Your business model is the child of the greatest financial minds the world has to offer and as fans, you're constantly voted the smartest and prettiest of the pretty.

Fuck off back to your forum, be happy that you've outwitted us gormless, Northern Monkeys and enjoy the rest of your existence as Gods amongst men.
