For me it isn’t mainly just because of breaking up a low block. It’s a lot about ball retention in general and controlling games as well as conserving energy in different phases of a game.

I rate Kevin Schade. Good player.

The club can still continue the process of talking to and negotiating with players during the window gap. It just won't be official until it 'gently eases open' again. In the same way that business happens before it's first opened.

Kevin Schade scored 11 PL goals last season uno.

They’ll be aight. Kevin Schade about to get 20 G/A.

Also think Bournemouth are in trouble, losing Huijsen, Zabaryani and Kerkez and possibly Semenyo in one window is an absolute disaster for them.

I hope we do sign him and he goes on to prove people wrong. There's a player there, just needs to be fully fit and have the right environment.

Under 1,300 ticket now available, the vast majority being in level 7. Level 7 Leazes has not opened up, may all be reserved for Atlético.

As strictly a back up striker I think he's a solid option. I can't see us getting a lot better than him as a second choice.

We have to everytime we go behind at home. And we have struggled to do that under Howe quite a few times. We need attacking players that win their duels 1v1. Murphy and Almiron for example dont do that. That is why our attacking play too often is about crosses. That is not a very good way to break low block.

you need the owner.

I hope someone else signs him asap so I don't have to have nightmares thinking about him playing for us.

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.
