    Van De Ven really isn't that great at defending in the box, 1 on 1 against his man he gets turned rather easily, its happened multiple times. I think a lot of people have let his pace and great recovery game blind them to the flaws in his basic defending. Hes a very good young player with...

    I'd rather not see a 2 man midfield.

    Eze mainly plays centrally for Crystal Palace.

    We don't sign elite players and I would be very surprised if at the end of the window we have signed one. So yeah I don't really buy that. We just don't want to take the risk, but its strange you have these players who are ready for the next step and available for reasonable fees that we don't...

    We rarely seem to make these kind of transfers, it slightly baffles me. Decent quality players with large upsides that are available for good prices. I don't know if we think they aren't good enough but we miss transfers like these constantly and it feels like we end up rueing not making those...

    Bergvall is good and has shown good qualities but he's not the answer for all questions particularly deep lying ones. He's quite guilty of losing ball in those positions, something he will learn from hopefully but he's not the finished article.

    We have no appetite for risk. There is no dare here, just safe.

    I kind of agree I don't think the quality is super high but maybe Tel surprises me and I like Odobert but haven't really seen a lot of him yet. I just don't think the club is seriously thinking about buying another LWF, we might even still have Solomon when the windows ends depending on his...

    We've already got Odobert and Tel who we signed this summer available for the left. I'm not sure if either of the two you mentioned leaving necessitates a replacement in the club's view.

    I disagree slightly. A generational talent as per how people use it is to refer to a player, always a youngster who is ahead of the curve with the expectation that they will stay ahead of that curve. Kane was not that player and was not considered a generational talent at a young age. Whereas...

    Expectations for 25/26

    We have the stronger squad (still with some massive flaws) but Brentford had the better individuals. Mbeumo walks into last season's team no debate. If a player is desired enough a team will pay what is necessary. No one wants Richy at the price Mbeumo went for, probably no one really wants him...

    Kane was not a generational talent, he's someone who worked at his game and constantly levelled up. He wasn't identified at a young age as a potential great which is what the generational talent line is aimed at. Bale was a generational talent and was starting games at 16 and playing regularly...

    Mikey Moore

    It goes hand in hand with the hype that some of the same fans have been talking about him being a generational talent. So the expectations for him are incredibly high for some of the fan base. The truth is if he was truly a generational talent, he'd probably be getting a lot of 1st team games...

    But Brentford had 7 years of Frank, knowing his system, his attitude etc. he had time to maximise the potential of the players he had and time to build the plucky underdog ethos. He came in here 4 weeks ago, whilst I think he will improve our players I don't think we can use Brentford's finish...

    Eberechi Eze

    27 is realistically his physical peak, whether playing with better players elevated his level further is worth debating but I'd argue he is in his peak right now.

    Overall budget I agree with but it's never really seemed to make a difference in terms of the calibre or pedigree of the players we sign. It just allows us to purchase more of the same from the same pool we were were already buying from. It's not so much related to this window so far but our...

    Morgan Gibbs-White

    It was messy because Southampton accused them of tapping him up and weren't willing to sell at the time, but it was eventually sorted out by Liverpool "slapping the money down and getting their man". It was only as complicated as the expense of buying him.
