Er, they would!..

So, looks like we can have him back and use him or we can flog him!..

I know what most here would like to do!..

Agree with Germany, they fooking would be that stupid.

Given the respective price tags; I’d rather take a punt on JKA than sign Costa.

Wolves have had our pants down with that one.

PH said a month or so ago that there's no obligation to buy him, although an option to purchase is available.
I hope we are back tracking on Costa's deal.

If we have to still agree personal terms with the lad, offer him 50p and a bag of Quavers per week and watch him walk away.

Genius 46. Genius. And why not try that.
Anything to get out of the Costa deal.

500 bags of Quavers might get him on board, though.

Player who hasn’t played well for a while, on double what he’s worth and comes over weight.


Only ever ends up one way.

When will we learn from these expensive lessons ???

From what I remember being said, it's mandatory but Augustin has the final say. So we are obligated to if he wants it. Which given how it's gone for him, you'd expect him not to.

Hopefully he's not coming back and we get a proper striker in.

How much was wasted on Nketiah and Augustin for a combined 2 starts of football? Might as well have kept Roofe. I said selling Roofe was good business as we got a price. But poor replacing off him

The Roofe debacle. Idiotic decision.
Rooted in Posing Mantis' 35k a week.

Our first signing in the window needs to be Brentford's head of recruitment.

He does a good job, they work two transfer windows in front and do all scouting by stats,

Analytics. Brilliant execution by them.

And, on this occasion, one with a self acknowledged history of attitude problems. I wonder if he scored higher or lower than Saiz on Orta’s mentality assessment?

Looks like a legal battle will commence. Poor from Leeds. Its clear the player does not have the desire and attitude to get to the level of fitness required. It’s a clear indication that if promoted Leeds will not have much money left to bring in new players.

yeah becuase they signing players that took them top right? FFS

talk about grass is greener.

Kev deal a shocker, but lets not apply this to all signings we've made FFS

Our success rate in transfers is terrible. He is just another in a long line of:

No one had heard of him, which becomes "This lad is a hidden gem who will rip this league apart" and "we have really stolen a march on the other clubs with this one, great bit of business by the club"

Ends up as:
Never been fit in 6 months with us and leaves having hardly kicked a ball

Brentford certainly do a better job with their limited resources identifying talent, bringing them in and then selling them on for a profit. Even picking up discarded players from bigger clubs seems to work out for them....

people forgetting Costa, Harrison, White, would walk into any other team in the league. all signed this season, (Harrison last season)

those above players are one oif the reasons we are top.

if we signed a pontus for 5 million, there would out cry FFS

Agree about White and Harrison but I don't think Costa is working out as a great signing just yet. I hope he gets better because up to now the £15m we have to shell out for him is not looking like good VFM

TS.. I think Costa has been 'good', wouldn't say amazing, but think he'll improve as time goes on, I think he's improved through the season too, he's still young and would like to sign him perm, personally.

Phil Giles and Rasmus Ankersen are co- directors of Football at Brentford. They have Lee Dykes as head of recruitment who was hired on May 2019.
