Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

Never say never with Abraham. Tuanzebe isn't fit often enough.

[Gareth]

Tuanzebe was a footnote, I don't get the clamour for him since he left. He was fine but rarely excellent. Tammy was the real deal.

I’d say when they get to the other end of their careers that will be very much the other way round...Tuanzebe has every attribute to be an excellent defender, needs to stay fit which is the key blocker in his career so far....Tammy I’m not sure has taken the chances given to him at Chelsea since early last season hence them going for Werner & Havertz + keeping Giroud around.  Sure the jury is still out with Lampard on whether Tammy has enough at the level they want.

Speaking of glass we've missed out on Welbeck. https://mobile.twitter.com/OfficialBHAFC/status/1317782480963792897

With Lallana and Welbeck signed I hope Brighton employ some good physios.

Nice touch from Benrahma

"The ex-Bees winger is waiving part of a loyalty bonus he reportedly expected to receive, asking for it to be given to 100 club workers instead.

Brentford officials have praised the Algeria international for opting to reward staff who aided his two-year stint in the Championship.

Phil Giles, the Bees director of football said: "Saïd has been a brilliant player for Brentford over the past two-and a-bit seasons.

“Thomas and I told him exactly that when we met him on Wednesday morning.

“As part of that conversation, Saïd suggested, and we agreed, that some money should be used as a reward for club staff, many of whom have had a direct influence on Saïd's development during his time here and who have done a superb job in difficult circumstances in the last few months.

“We are happy with the agreement reached and this makes it a nice end to a good transfer window for the Club." "

Fair play.

[Toronto Villa]

Sorry for being cynical but was it from the money Brentford received or out of own his signing bonus?

[PeterWithesShin]

Money Brentford would have paid him is how I read it.

Edit: It was a loyalty bonus so yes, money Brentford would have paid him.

[Toronto Villa]

Ok well that’s good if he asked for a portion of it given to staff.

[Risso]

With Davis apparently injured (again) it was a bit of a worry that we couldn't then name another striker in the squad for the game last night.

That's a nice touch.

Yeah but what about Ozil donating a bit of his daily wages to fund Gunnersaurus’s salary *for as long as he’s an arsenal player.

I was ranting about that yesterday.
Bloody foolish again.

thought Traore could play up top ?

[OCD]

Traore started as a striker. He's got the build of one too.
