The Sun say Aston Villa are preparing a club-record £20m bid for Brentford striker Neal Maupay. He'd be great for them. Type of striker I though blades would go for, glad they aren't if truth be told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jota, Hogan and Odubajo spring to mind. Egan at the Pigs I guess. What we aught to be doing is getting Brentford recruitment guy here, or nickin their academy recruitment/ techniques and applying the same process here. The amount of players they recruit/ develop and sell for big money is unreal. What a quality set up they must have for a relatively small club is unreal. Hats off to them.

But they are a small club with relatively low expectations. Compare that with Wednesday, as a club we are desperate to get ‘back where we belong’. The same patience and recruitment strategy just wouldn’t work as well here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can’t deny that there is a feeling that permeates throughout the club that we deserve to be in the top flight. Due to our history, fanbase, stadium etc. Brentford don’t have that and they can take risks and be patient. They are punching above their weight as a club in the Championship as it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make it easier, but they also persist with talent. There is no way they would go with a player like Fletcher, even if they could afford his wages. Joao would play ahead of him, every day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S26 Owl Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Westwood signs Hector, Odubajo, hourihane, Borner and Bidwell. A LB, LW and RW on loan and we'd be in a good position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Football was summed up for me in two ways last night. A stadium a million miles from anywhere, may as well have played on Mars. With hardly any regular Chelsea or Arsenal fans present due to costs. The fat cats of UEFA and so on sat in the boxes loving it. The fans a bus ride from the pitch. Then finally, Chelsea fans back home saying it's ok, but we are better than winning the UEFA cup. WTF. Money, Money, Money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 A few Villa players will be available this summer but in terms of those who started at Wembley I suspect it will only be the wide players (excluding El Ghazi who will get a go in the Premier League). I'd have Adomah in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
