The Pereira thing seems to have gone very quiet... I'm holding out hope on that one

Brentford have already managed to replace Maupay with a striker and a winger from France for £10m, and expect to have Lyle Taylor coming in too.
Quite how with 12 months knowledge that Rondon, Gayle and Rodriguez were unlikely to be here this season we've ended up with 48hours left and trying to loan a couple of kids from West Ham is baffling.
TBF have you seen Brentfords succession planning policy and how its scouting and recruitment team work.
Second to none in our division imo. It's the money ball approach I know but they really know their stuff. Pick players up cheap, polish them up, not afraid to sell and when they do it's usually top whack. They always have players identified to come in to continue the cycle.
We could learn a lot from them imo.
Ultimately, it's yet to actually "work" for them - whilst it's true they've churned a consistent profit and have an enviable record of finding and developing players, they're yet to make a real sustained push for promotion.
Their actual scouting system is fantastic, and as has been said, we can learn an awful lot from it, but can you imagine the meltdown on here if we continually bought and sold and steadily slipped down the table? Their 5 seasons thus far in this league have been 5th, 9th, 10th, 9th, 11th...
Exactly. If we sign no-one, which won't happen, I still expect us to finish above Brentford.
Don't believe the hype.

Polish league is notoriously hit and miss, but their strikers have had some success recently.
Piatek had a similar record in Poland before moving to Genoa last season, and half a season and almost a goal a game later, he went to Milan for 10x what they’d paid...
Then again, for every Milik, Lewandowski and Piatek there’s surely a couple Slusarskis!

According to Wiki, he's 1.91 m so just under 6ft 3", in old money. Crouch was 6ft 7, I believe.

Was? Has he shrunk?

That's nothing that West Ham Ajeti (apparently as part of the deal they've changed his forename) fella was 41 feet tall....
