Bannofan Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 4 hours ago, TrickyTrev said: Even if there is a £1m release clause, Bannan still did us a favour signing that deal. Had he not he’d have walked in the Summer for free like so many have under Chansiri. Although I think he’s undervalued at £1m, it’s better than getting nothing. Exactly, we stopped him joining a team that got promoted to the premier league, but rather than chucking his toys out he signed a new contract when he didn't have to, purely so we could get a fee. Let's face it , the club could not reasonably expect Bannan to stay with us in League One. I think a deal will get done with someone, and I don't think Barry will be the last of our under contract players to go either. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Doubt it's imminent, if it was he wouldn't have played in our friendly yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackSWFC Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 He’s hardly likely to pick up an injury dropping deep and pinging long balls around in a friendly, even in a Wednesday shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Both if these teams play decent football, so he’ll be a real asset and for £1m, it’s a no brainer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_wells Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Come on people, it'd be a footballing and financial miracle if Bannan stayed with us in League 1. He's signed a new deal in full knowledge we may have been relegated and knowing all the detail of our financial mess. If a team like Brentford feel they can use Bannan in their squad and it gives us a significant boost in money available to spend we really shouldn't be surprised if he leaves. He's given us a superb contribution over the past 5 years and he's been incredibly loyal given how badly the club has been managed when it comes to trying to make it to the PL... if he stays, fantastic - we'll have probably the best player in the division by some distance - but whatever we get for him now is a real bonus.

mcmigo Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Bannan- can go with our very best wishes. Fantastic player who has given everything for us. Much better than league 1 . One of our best players in the last 25 years . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirksandallowl Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Come on use a bit of common sense people, I’m not saying he won’t go somewhere, but Brentford? That team who’s model is unearthing gems buying them relatively cheap, developing them then selling for a profit. You know the team everybody on here holds up as a model we should follow. Would they really be looking at a 30 something wanting a last payday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I keep reading he did us a favour signing that contract with the £1m release clause in it. In reality, he will probably have taken more than £1m out of the club in wages since he signed the contract. With all other associated costs it would have made more sense to release him on a free. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have to be on more than £50k per week for that to be the case. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew Owl Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I wouldn’t expect Bannan to be a regular starter at Brentford by any stretch of the imagination, but I think he could prove to be a useful squad player and lend a bit of experience to the younger players.’ For only £1 million, it’s a fairly low risk investment from Brentford’s viewpoint. I doubt that they’ll want him to take their corners and free kicks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And bannan release clause is lots above £1m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
