I'd be amazed if Brentford can afford Janssens wages.

Leko should be but something is not quite right with his game.
Rogers not ready
Fitzwater, must be ready by now after successful loans
Wilson, does not good enough at RB to me
Tulloch, should be involved this year
O’Shea needs a decent loan with Jan return
Burke.....there’s no answer to that
Soule as per O,Shea

Pretty much matches my thoughts.  Wink

Seems about right and even the three that are ready are by no means first eleven automatics.

We have to sign loads. We literally have half a squad it seems.

Quality not quantity. 

4/5 more will be enough. 

We have Leko, Field, Edwards, Harper, Tulloch, Burke, Fitzwater, O'Shea, Rogers, Soule and Wilson who need to really push to make the step up this season. 

G Barry still a possibilty too.

11 of our youngsters to step up? I see 3 who have a chance of making a useful contribution. The rest I see as bit part back up players atm. We need 5 perms and another 4 loans. Problem being I can't see where the money is coming from to fund it?

The money comes from the sale of Dawson, Rondon and J Rod. 30m

I said "really push to make the step up".....I didn't say they would, but 7 of those played last season.

Pretty much my thoughts too.

Edwards, Harper and Field should be in the thoughts for the first XI, Leko and Burke in the squad.

Tulloch, Wilson  and Rodgers need a bit of game time, so loans for them IMO.

O’Shea and Fitz need a preseason to determine if they can be considered as 3rd/4th CBs

I would say O'Shea is ahead of Fitzwater. According to my Exeter season ticket holder mate he was brilliant for them and a class act. He thought he looked every inch a championship player. Add to that he's progressing well with republic of Ireland U23's and attracting interest from other clubs.

Fitzwater started well at Walsall but after his return he didn't get a sniff. Not sure why. He's a decent prospect but I think O'Shea might have nudged ahead. We need him signed up next.

Not sure what's going on at Leeds.  Reports now linking Roofe with Rangers for £4m.  He's entered the last year of his contract and Leeds haven't offered him a new contract.

Nice to see a rival for promotion weakening its first team.

Or clearing out the deadwood before they get players in who will tear the Chump apart. Bielsa's no fool.

Rumoured to have a few FFP issues, and the Costa deal has put them under some pressure.

Given the Qatari owners being linked, and the general uselessness of the FA I’m not sure I buy it.

If Roofe is available for £4m we should be asking the question.
