Based on the stats alone, Wilson has a good record.  1 in 3 for a winger is bloody good.  7 goals in his first PL season, only 23.  Sounds pretty good to me.

Warkins £28m rising to £33m.

If that's true, it's an insane amount of money for a championship player.

28m for a championship striker? One born every minute.

Agreed, it seems Brentford have the negotiating ability of Levy. Imagine what they want for Benrahma.

Much less than we would have wanted for Grealish had we not been promoted.

It probably explains why it's taken so long for him to move. That price will have understandably put clubs off.

Another hefty donation to the Brentford Widows & Orphans Fund.  I think he'll do well in the PL but for that money he'll have to hit the ground running.

Looks like it’s finally happening then. £28 million though? That’s an awful lot of money and a big old weight on the shoulders that Wesley seemed incapable of bearing.

That's true actually but at least he'd played Premiership football before then.

Looks like Brentford wanted much more than £28m up front as well.
