I agree, I think he'll be as good for them as Ollie is for us.

Benrahma is better than Traore, but we got one of them, so it's ok.

Is Rashica coming or not?

Think he's stuck at Bremen after a move to another German team broke down in the final minutes of the window.

I've seen two things already I've really liked by Traore. His goal, obviously, and the deftest of headers to beat a defender in our most recent win.

Oh right. Thank you for letting me know. Was really hoping for him to come in as he looked exciting. Traore will be great, I'm sure!

I liked his cameo against Liverpool, he seemed to have a swagger of confidence and quality about him. He might be one of those wingers who go missing and be inconsistent but there's raw materials there to work with and you'd have confidence that Terry and Shakespeare can keep him on his toes.

Sounds like Benrahma to Wham is off. There’s also talk that we’ve bid again.

I think West Ham are having the same problems us and everyone else has had in trying to sign him. Brentford has a number or type of deal they want and won’t budge and it’s probably pissing Benrahma off. I would love it if we actually did sign him but I don’t see it.

After hearing Dean say Ollie has doubled his value after the Liverpool game, Brentford will probably hike-up our Benrahma fee to £40m. We'll be paying for that club's future forever.

Can we just adopt Brentford? Might be cheaper in the long run.

Like in the adverts where we give them £3 a month and they send us some photos?

"This is Saïd [sad face]. Every week he plays football in a ramshackle stadium [I know it's new] in a gritty London suburb, or in some dreary Northern hell-hole [cut to Rotherham / Barnsley / Sheffield / Doncaster / all the other Yorkshire Championship clubs]. For just £40 million, give him the gift of playing in front of the Holte End [cut to happy face]."

More like we give them £30m a year and they send us their latest talent off their conveyor belt :)

No thanks. We're building our own conveyor belt at BH.
