His age and experience probably makes him one of our more valuable assets that we could let go to raise funds. I'm not sure how much interest he'll garner at this point though, with his recent long injury layoff and poor form. I imagine we'd want at least £25 million for him minimum, but not sure if anyone bids that currently. He should probably join a team that doesn't play such an intense style, as his body doesn't seem to hold up. Could maybe see him at a West Ham or Fulham.

You can see Miley starting ahead of him too when he’s back fully fit and Willock seems to do better in the past certainly from the bench too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Mokhbel was on loaded mags last night and said a couple of things I thought worthy of posting. 1, Mark Guehi was the only CB Eddie wanted, it was him or nobody. 2, we did make a deadline day bid for Elanga.

Quite concerning if true. Again based on Mitchell’s interview post deadline, there should be no chance we go back in for either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely aye, not sure how he could Know that however the extent we went to try and get him does indicate it to be true imo. He also said we were amongst many clubs keeping an eye on Eze.

I like Barnes a lot, his goal threat is only rivalled by Isak. I do feel it was right player wrong time though. I guess he was the Gordon doesn't work out backup plan. Anyways better not go to deep on something mentioned by Simon Bird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t true. We made bids for Thiaw earlier in the summer. 2. We did… but we’d been speaking with Forest back and forth over him since May. Don’t know for sure if there were other bids made in that time, but there was a lot of dialogue between the clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we'd easily get that money back. Pretty much guarantees a decent output in the Premier League and is good enough to be starting every week.

I'm not so sure. Yes his record is great but how many clubs are these days willing to spend 40m on a player's who's only going to depreciate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did Joachim Andersen move to Fulham for again, around £30 million? He's 28 and is a defender. For goals and assists teams typically pay more and he's younger.

Let's see how this plays out as I'm not convinced Bird has a clue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Willock is suited to Brentford funnily enough, I also don't think we'll get a willing bidder for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Mbeumo is a really interesting one. On paper it seems great, proven performer who is ready to take the next step. The question I do have is he the player who is going to be affective against low blocks? can he score and create? Also if true, are we willing and able to pay the good old premier league tax?

I'd take Lewis Potter as part of the deal though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
