Brentford

[Phat Baz 68]

Apologies if fixtures but........


Brentford sign Moses Odubajo from Orient on a three year deal WTF ? :

 

[Albion Robster]

Did we even put in a bid for him??

 

[Colossal Squid]

Can only assume they wanted him more. There was never any confirmation we'd actually put a bid in

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Did we even put in a bid for him??

No idea if we did, what's that got to do with it ? but why would one of the hottest young strikers around at the moment sign for Brentford for a pissy £1 million
Just utterly amazed.

 

[Colossal Squid]

They've paid a MILLION for him

Woah.

That's a lot of money for a player who has only played League One level.

Where have Brentford got that sort of cash from?

 

[The Modfather]

WFT is football coming too when Brentford are buying players for £1 million

See this is why I'm amazed for four reasons

1. ONLY £1million for one of the most thought of young strikers in the League, don't forget CMS was £3.25million from Peterborough !
2. Where did Brentford get that sort of cash from to buy him all of a sudden on top of their new stadium being built.
3. Not being elitist or funny, but.... Why the hell would you want to go to Brentford

We are SMALL time now, both Brentford and Bournemouth signing NEW players whilst Barber SITS in a DARKENED room clutching his CHECK book TIGHTLY

Point 2, so you could ask where did WE find £3.25m on top of our stadium being built. It's Brentford's big summer signing I suspect.

 

[albionalex]

He's not a striker. He's a winger who's been converted from a full-back. I imagine if we really wanted him, we'd have signed him. £1 million is a very large fee but he certainly has some ability. Wouldn't be surprised if he has a mediocre season this year but has a stormer next season.

 

[Zebedee]

Never mind. We'll just have to console ourselves with the fact that we've got the two Sammis. Who needs new players? Whoopy do. I can't wait for August.

I may be going mental but .... Where is the fourth reason?

Your not going mental I just can't count, never was great at counting

Bournemouth could have another 6 million to spend, if the Lallana transfer goes through.

Ref. Point # 2, I believe their chairman is in a similar line of money accumulation as ours so I'd imagine they're fairly well wedged up.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

He was a FB when I saw him but maybe he now does play more forward

CMS was 2.5 million over a couple of years

We spent that much again on Ulloa, bought Buckley for 1M etc. so sure brentford can manage a single 1 million signing. What wages do they usually pay? We've had lots of cheap fees on decent wages and the odd big fee. Maybe he wanted to stay living where he does in London so while we might be an option there's not too many clubs who are closer to Leyton (though expect he lives elsewhere in greater London)

 

[LU7 RED]

Would be nice for us, but a fair bit of that will go into FFP calculations. Typical isn't it. Skint for ages and then when you get someone with money behind you - you can't spend it!!

Would love Wilson to fit in the Grabban role, but I have a feeling Wolves will get him if they want him.

 

[Grizz]

Brentford's chairman is very similar to Bloom, got a fair wedge to play with and as far as I'm aware is funding the new stadium himself. My Bees supporting mate is still flabbergasted though, just as we were when we did it.

 

[TomandJerry]

Maybe they are splashing the cash from when they got promoted?
