2026/27 Out of Window Transfer Talk - Brentford Only

IIRC he was pretty disparaging about us and came over as a bit up himself and we were seen as being totally beneath him.

Maybe he has changed but....
Is that ITK or just from the interview he said he wanted to play CL football?

He was recently suspended by RB Leipzig for arriving late for a team meeting, which isn't a great look. Just 8 starts in the Bundesliga last season and one this term suggests he's essentially just a fringe player for them, hence the cut price fee. It sounds it would be a career rescue job if we were interested.

With Schade future uncertain though, the club may be tempted depending on their thoughts around that.
Schade has totally different assets and style of play

That’s us though as long as he’s a good character

Maybe he has changed but....
"Johan Bakayoko on Brentford proposal rejected: “Even if they offer €100m… I wanted to stay with PSV”. #PSV “We want to become champions of the Netherlands again and then go as far as possible in the UCL... that was always my focus”, told NOS.

"Player is loyal to his own club and thnks the CL is good for his career" doesn't seem very disparaging to me. Maybe you have seen a different offensive quote.

As far as I'm concerned, if we could do a loan with option to buy deal for January for Bakayoko then it's a low risk high reward move. My only concern is that if Schade goes and we are left with Donovan, Bakayoko, Dango and Anthony then I think we are missing a real top quality winger. Romelle isn't quite proven enough yet, Dango has shown flashes, Anthony is good and Bakayoko is an unknown quantity. Amazing wingers on the budget we would have spent... but I think that when you don't have a clear starter, you don't have a top quality player.

El Maia hasn’t greatly impressed me this season on the tellybox with Koln (3?games).
BHA are welcome to him - if it was my decision!

We do have Furo and KLP who are wide forwards

I see a striker and a player who has played 90% of his PL minutes as a FB in the last few seasons. I'm not saying either one couldn't do a decent job in a pinch but I would only consider them in a pinch

Any truth in this
Unlikely 😂 . However, after Sunderland, suspect there will be some in the "drive him there myself" camp, on here.

whatever happened to brighton's 'wonderkid' centre forward evan ferguson?

once valued (by the dubious transfermkt) at 65m euros, but now at just 15m!

has he really dipped that low?

can't believe he doesn't represent worth taking a punt on a grunt (peep show reference) 😆

He's recovering from a serious injury last season.

Jack Moylan must be a solid option.

10G&3A by November in the Championship + 4G in 6 games for Ireland, we know Keith likes an Irishman in the team. Played under Damien Duff at Shelbourne. 6”1 midfielder.

Feels almost too obvious to actually happen

My Son said to me a couple of weeks ago that he read that we had sent scouts to watch him, this was before he scored the hat trick last week.

Gustav Isaksen (Lazio and Denmark)

"One team that has put him in the crosshairs, however, is Brentford, currently eighth in the Premier League with fourteen points. Only an extraordinary offer, probably a very large one, could dissuade Claudio Lotito from keeping him in pink. Because, and it's clear, with the Dane there's a better chance of finishing within fourth place - now a seasonal goal if only for his generous television salaries - than to be relegated to another kind of Europe. Plus, he doesn't earn much - 1.5 million euros - and he certainly doesn't open up to farewell.

I can't say if there are any negotiations underway. It's a matter for the club and my agents. I can only say that I am really very happy to be at Lazio and to live in Rome. So it is very likely that we can reach an agreement on renewal, sooner or later. It's hard for me to imagine a better place to be right now. I don't think we should take for granted the fact that we are happy every day and at the same time play an important role within the club and enjoy great trust. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now."

Memo to the autotranslate tool: “In rosa” in this context means “in the squad” rather than “in pink”!
But it would be ambiguous if he played for Palermo rather than Lazio…

... this is an interesting one...I assume it's a player BFC have been monitoring in line with their MO....be also interesting to see where we are in the league come January....a striker who's scored goals at a top table might be what we actually need in 2027.
