I don't watch any Championship game that doesn't involve Stoke but I still think that money for Archie Gray is a bit mental. it’s mental money tbf , decent player but who knows what he will achieve

This is why I don't get the clamour to get in the premier league, crazy money for a club of Brentfords size.

He's shit though and we don't want him. Who's the we who doesn't want him? Ok. He's shit and the manager doesn't want him. He's weak, lacks presence, blames others, misses straightforward chances, argues with supporters...

Strange for Schu to play him if he doesn't want him when he had plenty of other options. I think you might be making shit up.

That Archie G fee is mental. Question is for me - say Sidibe played 40 plus games with a few assists and goals. Then Brentford of Forest ( for example ) come in and offer that kind of money for him. Would you take it ? More pertinently would the club? Imo yes to both.

Neither English though which adds value. We robbed Leicester re Souttar. Collins was about the money at the time.

Collins was about the money at the time. Agreed. Same principle with Emre as well I’d have thought. That kind of money ( with the wages on offer ) - could not see any logical reason to refuse.

It looks a lot better in hindsight but before his injury he was probably the best young CB in the championship. I think if he got back to being that he was going to get a premier league chance anyway at some point so the money was fair for a player who hadn't really recovered his club form post injury. Collins had obvious potential but he'd never really been that at any time before he was sold, in fact he hadn't even played CB for us very much at all.

Yankuba Minteh from Newcastle to Brighton for £33m because Newcastle are struggling with FFP...
Quick question, has he ever played for Newcastle? I genuinely have no idea who he is? 🤣

I've been saying we should get rid of him or Baker for months, possibly both if we can bring in something different like Weirdo from Fleetwood who was linked a while back. younger cheaper, more versatile. I don't like Laurent as an advanced midfielder at all but unlike you I don't think my opinion counts for much. I just want Schu to have what he feels he needs.

Prices are already insane this summer though and it's only going to get worse.

If Laurent goes would keep Baker If they both go them we would need another midfielder, as well as Cundle
Keen to see more of Sidibe,

You need to look this weekend at both buying and selling clubs because of ffp accounts due in on Monday The selling club can count it as profit especially if own grown buying club can spread over length of contract If both clubs swop players at inflated prices both clubs can square the accounts as indicated on BBC site That's why some prem league teams have to sell this weekend to avoid points deduction like forest and Everton

I know your opinion is so much more important than what actually happened Erm Souttar went to the PL and failed massively and looked like a fish out of water. Collins has become a PL mainstay. What exactly hasn’t happened?

I know your opinion is so much more important than what actually happened Erm Souttar went to the PL and failed massively and looked like a fish out of water. Collins has become a PL mainstay. What exactly hasn’t happened? Collins was never a massively influential player for Stoke Souttar was. That's what did actually happen, what's happened with them after the point of sale was not material at the point of sale.

No Collins wasnt but he was always rated better by those at the club and in football. Because he is miles better. Anyone who watched them knew which one would do better things. Collins was always miles better than Souttar.
