Brentford have already managed to replace Maupay with a striker and a winger from France for £10m, and expect to have Lyle Taylor coming in too.
Quite how with 12 months knowledge that Rondon, Gayle and Rodriguez were unlikely to be here this season we've ended up with 48hours left and trying to loan a couple of kids from West Ham is baffling.
TBF have you seen Brentfords succession planning policy and how its scouting and recruitment team work.
Second to none in our division imo. It's the money ball approach I know but they really know their stuff. Pick players up cheap, polish them up, not afraid to sell and when they do it's usually top whack. They always have players identified to come in to continue the cycle.
We could learn a lot from them imo.
Ultimately, it's yet to actually "work" for them - whilst it's true they've churned a consistent profit and have an enviable record of finding and developing players, they're yet to make a real sustained push for promotion.
Their actual scouting system is fantastic, and as has been said, we can learn an awful lot from it, but can you imagine the meltdown on here if we continually bought and sold and steadily slipped down the table? Their 5 seasons thus far in this league have been 5th, 9th, 10th, 9th, 11th...
Exactly. If we sign no-one, which won't happen, I still expect us to finish above Brentford.
Don't believe the hype.
It's a long term approach though built on solid principles. They will soon accumulate enough dosh to have a proper go as their FFP will be one of the lowest around.
When the time is right they won't sell their top players and have a proper go. For a team the size of Brentford without a wedged up owner (Bournemouth the same size club) they should be applauded for trying to do it sustainably.
Just because they haven't achieved promotion yet doesn't make them failures. Have you seen their new ground for instance.
A clever little club if you ask me.

Matt Wilson
#wba have approached West Ham about taking 21-year-old winger Grady Diangana on loan, but it doesn't end their interest in Matheus Pereira, who they still hope to bring in before tomorrow's deadline

Derby are in pole position to beat off competition from a host of Championship rivals for West Ham starlet Grady Diangana on loan, reports James Nursey.

Wilson v Nursey - who knows more?

I guess Wilson states we have approached West Ham which the Nursey story alludes to but who know!

West Ham journo claims we only contacted West Ham about him yesterday. So maybe we are late to the party. Hopefully Slav's links to West Ham will help and the player and club will prefer Albion for his development.

Was thinking similar. But Watford fans saying Grey is an important back-up player for them.

Someone on one of the FB Baggies sites has suggested offering Charlton £4.5 million for Lyle Taylor. The Addicks have already turned down an offer of £3 mill from Brentford.

Seems a lot for a 29 year old lower league journeyman.
