Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

I hope we are setting our target higher than Maupay.

Agreed.

Disagreed.

Disagree too, he’s good enough.

He's a very good player.

John McGinn has two brothers.  They could be turned over at a profit simply on their pedigree.

Does he have any attractive sisters?

Kodjia as 3rd choice and Davis out on loan playing a full season definetely for me.

Kodjia is different and unpredictable exactly what defenders hate, and if he's fit and motivated a real handful. If there was ever a time he is going to be motivated and give it his all its surely this season coming up.

not for me

he was hardly cutting it in the championship very frustrating to watch and certainly probably the least like a team player iv'e ever seen,
he needs to go

Harsh to say he was hardly cutting it in the championship when he was our top scorer a couple of season's back and Bristol city's before then. The injuries haven't helped but I thought he started looking sharp again during the run in last season.

[Brassneck]

The thing with the striker is, are we going to play with 2 up front?  I'd say no.  So if another one comes in, either he or Wesley will be on the bench unless we are signing someone who can push out wide like Kodjia/Henry.

Certainly not the same player that he was before his injury although this may be down to him not having a decent run in the side.  My biggest concern would be his inability to bring others into play.  That said, I'd be happy to give him a go as 3rd/4th choice and see how he does when he gets his chance.  As I touched on, I think he's the type of player who needs to be playing regularly which with the best will in the world will not happen here.

Davis needs to go out on loan to prove the argument one way or another. Hogan just needs to go, as quickly as possible. Bring someone else of quality in and Kodjia is number three, at least until January. If Davis is banging them in for fun, then bring him back then.

Maupay isn't in the Bees squad today so its pretty likely he's on the move. B6 bound?

[Toronto Villa]

No Maupay or Benrahma in the Brentford team today vs the Noses. I predict both will be Villa players next week.

[brian green]

Davis is never going to be a prolific goal scorer.  That is not his game.  What he is is an outstandingly good hold up player.  There will be games in The Premiership when we need to claw back some possession to claw back a point or two.  That is when Keinan Davis will earn his wages.

[OCD]

I think Maupay will go to Brighton.

Isn't Benrahma injured?

[paul_e]

Short(er) striker who's mobile and can play across the front, I guess there's no chance of getting Werner? He looks a very good player.
