It was a different recruitment team that brought him in previously. The current set up might think they can find better value elsewhere.
My point though is Dean has worked under various recruitment schemes at Walsall, Brentford and here but he's always been fond of getting in an ex player or two so I assume he still gets some say in who we target e.g. we have all the best data in world and yet conclude Rico Henry is the best left back out there available this summer which you wouldn't rule out.
Brentford pride themselves on signing randoms from here and abroad all the time and turning them into multi million players and within 6 months of DS turning up he was signing two from Walsall.
That's why I think Axel and Tammy will be targets if available but dosen't mean we'll sign them as their wages could be beyond us and teams finishing higher up the table will probably be interested aswell.
