Can we not rape and pillage Brentford? There are some skilful lads on the corner of Chiswick High Road just as good.

The Chiswick lads are notorious showponies. It'd be like signing old Actonians.

I have played Old Acts and can confirm the are not show ponies and a pretty tough bunch.

I didn't mean them. I meant old people who live in Acton. They're notoriously flash.

Looks like he ain’t going to be cheap http://www.brentford-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/brentford_place_pound30m_price_tag_on_said_benrahma_as_premier_league_interest_h_927991/index.shtml

Firstly, that was posted in March and secondly, if you actually read it, it's a load of bollocks.

Brentford’s model is built on developing players to sell them on for a tidy profit so could happen. At a market price though.

They're pretty good at it as well. We were talking about it at work the other day:

Mepham, Woods, Egan, Yennaris, Josefzoon, Jota, Colin, Hogan, Gray, Odubajo, Tarkowski in the last five years or so is the thick end of £75m, on top of what they are likely to get for Maupay and Benrahma (presumably from us)

Any business with Brentford should include a return of Hogan at the price we paid. That would be a very satisfactory outcome.

Indeed, it looks like this approach has paid for a shiny new stadium all by itself.

Satisfactory, deal of the century, I think we might have to pay someone to take him off our hands.

Perhaps I'm being a bit impatient but I'll feel better once new signings, especially Mings arrive. The squad looks awfully thin at the moment. I thought I could relax after all the drama and stress of the play-offs!
I'd like our owners to put a marker down with a marquee signing like Gomez. No point pissing around!

I think you are being impatient. As for making a marquee signing, I do think we need to bring in some quality at some point but doing it just to put down a marker is pointless. I'm sure they know who they want.

I wonder if the likes of O'Hare, Doyle-Hayes and Hepburn-Murphy will be in Smith's plans.  Possibly one more loan season for them but in the Championship? (Not with Wednesday or Forest though, someone with a coach).
