7. We’re still in the Premier League and we still have Bissouma, though the squad does a look tad undercooked for my liking.

Of those players signed 8 were for the immediate first team squad, 4 went straight on loan and Zeqiri I don’t really know where to put. We have done business late in the window, but I wouldn’t say we particularly make a habit of it. This time we’re either bucking the trend or we’ve dropped a...

Ooh, big call. I think Veltman is a fine player, but we haven’t really seen too much of him at centre back, have we? He’s been our modern day Barry Venison.

Thanks, I’d just assumed that Brentford would have been finishing in the Play Offs as they seem to have been in them every year for the last decade.

Dan Burn can play LB, but he’s a CB. Ben White could play RWB, CDM but he’s a CB. Veltman can play RB, RWB but he’s a CB. Covering a position certainly doesn’t make it a natural role for a player.

I can’t be bothered to do the research, but surely there’s far more to it than simply goals scored against games played. Maupay was playing for an all out attacking Brentford flanked by two players who have since earned big money moves to the Premier League, he was probably provided with lots of...

It’s been widely acknowledged that he’s more of RWB, or RM than defender, so again, we still don’t have a specialist full back in the squad. If that’s by Potter’s design then fair enough, but for a mere mortal looking in from the outside it seems we’re very short. The fact we’ve been heavily...

In 2019 the window closed on August 8th. We signed Maupay, Webster and Trossard in that window. Trossard was wrapped up nice and early, Maupay and Webster were indeed at the end of the window.

They signed Nathan Collins from Stoke for about £10m.

Do you know what they did to make sure there was 19 teams not as good as themselves? That’s right, they signed players for positions they were short such Player Of The Season Rùben Dias. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not for a second suggesting that we’re supposed to be competing with the Man City’s...

Interesting that he’s playing as the RCB in a 3.

Simply not true. Summer signing date for current players purchased for the first team, I haven’t included players that were immediately sent on loan or the u23s as that’s not what we need right now. Adam Webster - August 3rd Pascal Groß - May Neal Maupay - August 5th Leandro Trossard - 26th...

Year 5 and we’re still going to be relying on 3 teams to be worse than us. Oh well, it is what it is.

Dan Burn has damaged knee ligaments, he’s not just going to miss 1 or 2 games, and with White gone we’re going to need Burn as additional cover at centre back seeing as Veltman has to be our right back as we don’t have one of those either. Obviously there’s no guarantee that a new striker will...

Sign a pair of full backs and a forward and top 10 is definitely on the cards.

It’s making my head spin, we’ve very clearly been trying sign full backs for both sides in Livramento and Cucurella, we’re desperate for a forward hence the pursuit of Gonzalez, Nunez and possibly Edouard. If we had signed the two defenders and one forward I’d say we’d had an exceptional window...

Solly March is not a left back, he’s a good wing back, massive difference. There’s also zero depth beyond Solly, so we’re definitely not good there. What makes you say our forwards will come good? What have you seen to suggest they can improve on last season’s horrific tally? How will the...

I know this is the trendy narrative to go along with but let’s be honest shall we, Ben White played more minutes than any other defender last season, as well as playing in a flat 4, a back 3, RB and CDM, he was a Swiss Army knife for Potter, with Lamptey being a perma-crock we’ve lost White’s...

:lol: Transfermarkt. You’re wrong.

He’s definitely not.
