I doubt we could afford both without CL mind

Brentford in big trouble next sesson like, especially with the players they're losing, gives the 3 promoted sides a slightly higher chance of making a fight of it.

They’d struggle to pay half of what he’d want in wages.

Indeed - I can't see him lasting longer than 2 seasons with Levy in charge, he is the antithesis of what Brentford are all about.

Logging in and seeing this back at the top again

The most important thing is to get players who may not have come without CL. That calibre. Tonali would never have come if we didn't have CL that season. Elanga and Joao Pedro would come to us regardless of where we finish as they'd be taking a step up to a bigger club. I'd love to see some ambitious names because everyone is majorly strengthening and to improve significantly you have to make up a lot of ground every season.

Why not? Anyone player can be transformational. Especially someone replacing Jacob Murphy.

As shown by other clubs - you can't lift the Brentford or Brighton model by taking one of the components. You need to bring the whole team - data, analysis, scouting etc.

Larsson

As long as it’s done before June 30th is all that matters in that respect surely?

I wonder if we have any interest in Akliouche still (if links were to be believed). Doesn’t seem to be much competition for him at this very moment. Would like to see us take advantage similarly to how we did with Bruno at the time. Would be my choice for RW.

My moneyt's on DCL to Sunderland

Add Henrik Laarson (spelling?) to that list.

This is absolutely happening, mind.

Were they filming a new series this season? Feel like whenever they try to do something like that it backfires. I remember when they had a 360 degree photo of the ground at a set moment in the game and it just so happened to be when the opposition scored.

Frank's about the ideal appointment for them for us imo. Don't think he has enough to make them a consistent force but he'll pick points off our champions league rivals.

Aye, he’ll know

Trying to force an anthem like everything else. Like an end, nickname or regional iconography its an organic thing. They just dont have any of. Ourselves, Liverpool, Man United, Arsenal, BIrmingham, Norwich, Coventry, Portsmouth, Leeds, Southampton, Man City, West Ham off the top of my head have famous long standing songs commonly associated to the clubs by media and other fans that have been perennially sung at most games for generations. Even we didn't know that's their tune.

Kjetil Knutsen stinks of a Brentford manager.

Thomas Frank is at least a decent guy. Ange was just an arsehole.

Seriously fed up of seeing this thread bumped, I've just contributed. If its a summer of Jack Grealish, and Calvert-Lewin, I can't be arsed.

Losing him and Mbeumo in the same month will be a big test of how well-run Brentford are. Can see them flushing but also unearthing some 36 year old Belgian metrosexual who takes them to Europe

Agreed. I’ve not checked the stats but I think Bruno would average 88 minutes or game or more. With the amount of games we’ll have next season he’ll need periods of regular 55-70 minute subs. We’ll neee quality to replace him not squad players.
