Ryan Woods can be in the Brentford squad as much as he likes, if he isn't starting and he has a chance at earning more money at us, Leeds, Villa etc... then he's going to go (if the money offered to Brentford is right, ofc).

He won't start for Brentford tonight anyway. They're in great form so why change the team? People need to just wait and see, it's not even been 48 hours since the interest emerged. What are you saying General? Is he injured or not good enough to get in the team?? I may have missed something as I am not on here all day.

He's good enough he's just not started the season in the team for whatever reason but they've been playing well in his absence. Unless there's injuries or a suspension then I can't see a reason for why he'd come back into the team for the game tonight.

Lucky for us that we've enquired then. They want a bidding war to get more money. Don’t you mean Stoke want a bidding war so they would have to pay more money 💰

Cheers General, what worries me then with that info is he's not able to get into a Brentford side and he's going to change our fortunes. I really hope your right about him being good enough.

You can't really start doubting a player's ability on the basis of him not being in his club's first team at a particular time. There's clearly an issue with Woods' future at Brentford and their manager obviously considers it best for the team if he's not included. A higher profile example is Mahrez at Leicester. It's already been pointed out that Woods was a virtual ever present for Brentford for last season and was voted their player of the season.

My Brentford-supporting brother in law just sent me the following: "He isn't playing as he wants to go to a bigger club. Brentford refused an offer for him over the summer. He is a short midfielder, very busy player, often acts as rescuer when others have messed up. He's good in a total football side, mobile all over the pitch. No idea how he'd perform with Stoke. Generally good tackler and passer with good vision, but passes occasionally go astray. " Hope this helps. Leaving East Yorkshire in an hour for our first win of the season!

I think Brentford accept he's going, hence he's not played. It's not difficult to find that out really is it?

I'd love to see us sign him, even though we've already got 134 centre midfielders on the books. He'd be a real asset and what we've missed since Whelan left.

He was dropped from the team because he showed interest in leaving when clubs came in for him. His Manager thought that his head had been turned by the interest, so left him out.

It's already been pointed out that Woods was a virtual ever present for Brentford for last season and was voted their player of the season. If you watch the interview with their manager (which is on this thread) he states that he was omitted because his head had been turned and wasn't in the right place to focus on playing. So someone made an approach and he's interested.

Been left out of the Brentford side Well he's on the bench, which is exactly where he's been for the last few games. Don't think we can read too much into that.

He probably watched that game last night and thought fuck this.
Chopper seemed to indicate yesterday it was a done deal and was close to being announced so you wonder if second thoughts had crept in.

I noticed Nixon responded to somebody on twitter and said something along the lines of Woods still being on but said he was unsure what that means about our recruitment strategy.
