  1. He's gone away out on loan and done everything he possibly could - he even won League Two Player of the Month as a CB! He's played nearly 100 professional games, which is a damn sight more than the bloke we're looking to sign from the Polish league (who's the same age btw). He should absolutely be in the mix with the First XI next year. The last thing we want is another O'Connell. I'm biased, but our top Academy players should be given repeated chances to fail for us before we determine that they're not good enough.

  2. Don't get the beef with Mani, so what if he claims to know people, any little bits of information on here are very welcome in my opinion. We don't get anywhere near the level of national coverage some fans of other clubs do, so if there are any people out there that know a bit, or a lot, and can post on here then do so. It happened with Bburn something or other last year too. He was accurate and clearly had an inside line - one or two rumours didn't come true and a few posters rounded on him and now he doesn't post. Disappointing. If you have beef with the way a guy posts, or the innuendos, then just skip past it. The joys of the scroll bar!

  5. I said at the time - as soon as we fluffed it against Wigan and Barnsley, the team should have been packed with Academy prospects / young players who will be here next year to see what they're made of. Instead we trundled out the usual suspects. Rank bad management.

  6. I’m sure he does, who wouldn’t? Only snag is that we don’t have the players, and his transfer dealings don’t seem to be getting us any closer. Brentford play like the do because their whole club is geared around it, from a numbers obsessed owner down, through coaching, through data, through recruitment. This club is too dysfunctional and haphazard, all at the whim of far away and disinterested owners, with a Chief Exec focused on short term cash flow, where/what is the strategy here?

  7. I get the feeling that Mowbray and his team at Ewood and Brockhall do work very hard in identifying targets. I also get the feeling a lot of these never come to fruition because of the whims of our cretinous owners.

  8. I can honestly say when he was at Ewood its the first and only time i have ever felt like encroaching onto the pitch and twatting someone. Even Coyle didn't wind me up as much as Kean. My ex brother-in-law coached him as a young player at Celtic and remembered him as being a gobshyte even then. I wonder if his dog is still alive.

  9. It is silly season. I take no interest in links, they either sign or they don’t. I think they are largely agent planted stories, if that upsets J*B and the like, then so be it, though I’m sure he has a thicker skin than that. However, a lot of folk do hang off the words of anybody with info, or even those who hint that they may have, look at a professional grifter like Nixon’s twitter for proof of that. But you don’t post anything, apart from innuendo and ? Either spill the beans, or protect confidences and say nothing. Posting ‘I know all this stuff... but I can’t tell you ‘, it’s childlike.

  11. I won't listen, that rat is not worth one moment of my time. Nobody's employing him so his agent's fixed him up with some publicity I guess. It won't work.....

  12. The manager didn't think Travis was good enough until he was forced to play him. He also seems to think Bennett is comparable to Nyambe. There's nothing daft and dangerous about having him as the 3rd / 4th option at CB (who, with the nature of the Championship, will be given plenty of time to prove himself). We still ABSOLUTELY need a quality CB partner for Lenihan.

  15. That's a shame. Mowbray seems to just completely disregard some talent. Or treat academy talent badly. E.g. constantly picking Bennett ahead of Nyambe and then laying into him in the media.

  20. Before I post the below, let me just say, any inside information is greatly received, but as per the rules, please don’t wind people up about it. Just to clarify a few points, from a moderating point of view- this is what’s okay and what isn’t. Okay- ‘we are interested in this player, I know his family and we have held talks’. I’ll let you know once I hear more. Not okay- ‘I know this guy at the club and he’s told me this, but I’m sworn to secrecy’. Dangling carrots during silly season may be entertaining to you, but winding people up is classed as trolling and contravenes the rules. Best not to say anything at all, if you aren’t allowed to. Otherwise, threads are derailed and turn into slanging matches that have gone off topic.

  21. Has he been and gone on there now? Any mention of Rovers? The fact Jim White had him on the show after the whole "Venkys, we are coming for you" is hypocritical bullshit and why I never watch the big drama made around him on deadline day. Sod Jim White and sod his show.

  25. He's a class above Travis in all aspects of his game at the moment. Travis is a good solid Championship midfielder. As for Reed there aren't many better midfielders in this division than him maybe only Phillips at Leeds. I think Reed will almost certainly be playing Premiership football next season and he won't look out of place. Mowbray's use of Reed was criminal.

  27. Yess!! Exactly my thoughts...I was watching and really enjoying it when it suddenly dawned on me that it’s the exact formation / system we’re trying to play. Tbh, if we started playing 50% of that type of football I’d be bloody delighted. It’s like a mash up of the possession based City way and the fast pressing of Liverpool. Would love to see how it works in the prem. Sheff Utd were the best team I’d seen live at Ewood for a decade last season. The way the cbs overlap is out of this world and I’m so glad they’ve done well this season. Wonder if Brentford could do something similar?

  31. What financial problems? We were around breakeven when he was appointed with a £12m overdraft. I bet Venky's dream of those numbers now. They only had to keep us in the premiership for one more season and we would have been a £10m + profit per season club similar to Burnley. We were relegated at the worst possible time.

  32. We could try selling some tickets to boost the budget. Here we will see the nonsense of Waggott and Venkys. For years it has been 'poor Rovers' unable to compete because we don't have a huge fanbase buying tickets. Now here we are not even putting them on sale. It shows that they were never really that bothered about the fans money. Just a useful excuse to blame the fans for not buying instead of our wonderful kind owners.

  34. His posts are a hell of a lot more interesting than watching you pick apart every single one of Chaddy's posts on practically every single thread. Whether it rubs you up the wrong way or not is irrelevant. That's not 'eating out of his hand' at all.

  35. ‘Absolutely trash me’, bloody hell you don’t half take yourself seriously, it’s a message board, not a libel case. Why would I want you to ‘blow up friendships of 20 years’? I’m merely saying that hinting you know all this stuff, but ‘I can’t tell you’ is a bit cringe, you’d actually be protecting your mate by saying nothing at all (though some mate that would chuck away two decades of friendship over tittle tattle like this) but you can’t do that because you love the attention. All this because I said random foreign names thrown on to a forum don’t seem particularly credible (though I also said feel free to quote me if one does trap, we need some cosmopolitan-ness in the squad), it’s just the way it is in July on football message boards, good luck to anyone that gets excited by it.

  36. What you don’t realise pal is how unlikely anyone is to come on here with any ‘info’ if they’ve made it up. This place (BRFCs) rarely takes kindly to any actual info (weirdly) Eg your trashing of the links to players over the last few days as ‘Silly season’ in spite of the fact that you don’t actually know anything yourself. How do you think that makes the posters of that info feel in terms of wanting to stick their neck out again? My guess is that there are several people in this network who know a lot about what is going on but cannot be bothered to take the stick that comes with it. I appreciate that I put myself up there to be shot at with my opinions and I gladly take my punishment. ??

  37. I want us to play like that, but you can’t look at a team on the pitch and a manager’s wishes in isolation. This club is not in Brentford’s stratosphere when it comes to strategic thinking and the running of a joined up football club.

  38. Wtih the names of Patrick Erras, Linus Wahlqvist and Florian Hartherz popping up, it seems like we are focusing on the german market. Last summer we were also looking at Robin Bormuth from Fortuna Dusseldorf, seems a bit strange that we haven't approached him yet as he is a free agent now.

  43. Well, this transfer thread is already 91 pages long. It's going to be a long old summer and sadly, I think we'll be feeding off crumbs falling from someone's table. It's galling, frustrating and sad, however, at least the sun's breaking through and it's a glorious day tomorrow so I'm off for a pint or two, followed by a wine or two and a bite to eat.

  45. It feels like Wharton should be ahead of any of the other young centre backs we have (Magloire, Grayson & Carter) He should be getting some time during pre-season to see if he is up to it at least.

  46. Looking at his history - a Spurs Academy graduate. Loaned out to Yeovil, but they only played him in the EFL Cup. Then went off to Poland. I don't think he's a hidden gem - and he absolutely shouldn't be getting a look in ahead of Wharton.
