Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[RussellC]

Just seen a Twitter rumour that we are interested in Aaron Tshibola, young midfielder from Reading.

Yeah there was a link about it in Getreading via the Beeb gossip page this morning. Norwich and Palace also interested apparently.

Sky are reporting that Norwich have agreed a £2m fee for him today.

wish list - although we were linked a while ago.

But, and with the greatest respect for Brentford, should we come calling neither the player, nor I suspect the club, would be able to resist.

Would he be one for the bench?

We should never be buying for the bench, IMHO that's what the academy is for. Buy quality players to go straight into the team, as long as it's not blocking the path of promising "development" players.

Not for the bench - he'd be good enough to be in the first team.

I've just been on a Brentford messageboard and the jury is very much unamimous that he can play at a higher level. Sounds great.

[peter w]

Yeah I've got a Brentford season-ticket holder mate who said the same. he's been telling me for about 2 seasons that we should sign him. Even now we're in the same division.

Can I just point out that the OP was about a player called Judge.  The subsequent comment referred to him being suitable for the bench.  Do I need to explain further?

Da Fuq!!!???!?!?! Were in the same division as Brentford?!?

Might be wrong but I think Malandro was doing a Judge/bench gag there... 

Edit: Des beat me to it...

Nice one Melandro, straight over my head:-)

It's been going on too long, Peter is either very tired or is not rising to it.

It's a delicate balance with player recruitment. We want players who will get us promoted, but will also be good enough in the top flight.

Players to get us up. Worry about players for the Prem when we get there.

I think it's important to look at both aspects. You don't want to end up buying a load of players this summer and then replacing them all next summer.

If (if) true, that's absolutely bonkers.
