James Tarkowski -

[Humblebee]

Marcello Tarkowski!

 

[Brian]

It had toumanis name on it

I agree shame he wasn't on the pitch tho'

 

[mhead bee]

Thought Warbs had said that Tarky wouldn't take another one, after his miss against Leeds, or was that someone on here?

No, he said the opposite. He said Tarks is the best pen gtaker in the club and in trainin g scores every time in practice. He said he would remain pen taker. Obviously Pritch took that mantle off him.

To be fair todays pen wasn't too bad, it was right in the corner, but why not just hit it. Dicks, La Tiss, Shearer and Graham Alexander never missed pens and they all used to hit the darn thing.

I was behind the goal where the keeper saved it.. it wasn't anywhere near enough the corner as you say, the keeper made a comfortable save..

 

[badgerbee]

Terrible pen....keeper virtually walked over and picked it up...Judge should've taken it.....don't give a **** though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Les Beeavinu]

He was brilliant today.

The same as Andre is the best finisher.

100% agree, and please don't anyone says he lacks pace..................he showed today how quick he is

Wanted Jake to take it.

who would a thought a missed pen today didn't matter what a day

 

[Boston Bee]

Tell me this morning we miss a late pen and I would have gone to the garden centre instead of listening.

[Brentford_till_die]

didn't Tarky also hit the bar with a shot from about 18 yards out?

 

[wanderer paul]

Yes. Thought it was going in!

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Yes. Thought it was going in!

cracking shot !!

 

[BlueJayBee]

I'd have given it to Macca - one stare and the keeper wouldn't have dared to save it. lol

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Tweeted that it's the last penalty he's talking

 

[GuyBee]

He was brilliant today.

He was mainly brilliant. Couple of howlers in first half. Somehow when he makes mistakes they dont score, when Dean does its a goal

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Tweeted that it's the last penalty he's talking

Shame. He's getting better all the time. This one was on target. Last one hit the Carlsberg ad above Brook Road upper tier. Next one was going in.

 

[HertfordBee]

Tweeted that it's the last penalty he's talking

I don't want to rub salt in his wounds but - and I'm happy to be proved wrong about this - has any other Brentford player in living memory taken more than one penalty ... and missed them both?

I don't think so.

 

[North London Bee]

Steve Phillips missed his last four (scored from one rebound) but he scored eight of his first ten, so nobody else springs to mind.

 

[HertfordBee]

I'm talking about a player who has taken more than one penalty and NEVER scored.

 

[North London Bee]

I'm talking about a player who has taken more than one penalty and NEVER scored.

I know. There ain't any!

.............18 yards???????...............

 

[North London Bee]

About 8

 

[FlyBee]

We might need pennos yet to get to Wembley.....

....thats probably for the best big lad....just stick to what you're good at...lovely cushioned headers and last ditch goal saving tackles

 

[hanworthbee]

Or at wembley

They do score. It cost us two points a couple of weeks ago.

or ended up in the corner of the net with the ball

Not another one gone.

 

[favershambee]

Paper talk - but at the right price anyone is available.

Fulham set to bid £1.75million according to the sun

 

[banburybee]

So that's Jota,Button,Moses,Tarkowski,Grey,Dallas all being chased by other clubs , what a good team we have. Marinus must be pinching himself hardly believing the riches he has. Fulham can and will p... off

 

[EASTBRISTOLBEE7]

I hope we tell them to F*CK off ! I expect a couple to leave but we cannot afford to sell off too many of our better players no matter what the new managment team bring in. I would let gray go for £4 million if that was is being quoted but keep the rest of the team from last season plus a few new signings otherwise we might struggle.

 

[beesbarmyarmy89]

If he goes there, I.....


I don't even want to talk about it... :mad2:

 

[Paulo Bee]

He will not be sold for £1.75m... He is a future international IMO.

 

[bees66]

I would tell you to **** off if you thought gray is worth so little myself.. Brentford value him a lot higher..

 

[condorman]

I suspect our valuation of Tarks is significantly higher than this most recent piece of rubbish journalism suggests

 

[ade211]

Even if a lot of the transfer speculation is merely 'lazy' journalism it does indicate what a strong team we have. Only a few years ago this would have never happened. We were shopping in the bargain basement and rarely sold more than one player a season for any significant amount. Now while we still manage to find players from the bargain basement we shop in the more exclusive home and foreign stores, adding significant value to them. We then have clubs pursuing us offering large amounts for our players. If we can continue this with the new management regime, or even improve while we will lose even more players we will be able to acquire even better ones. As we realised when Foreshaw went last season as it turned out we strengthen the team with the money we got for him, which in part propelled us to the playoffs. I am optimistic that our new set up will be able to continue this strategy.

 

[RitchBee]

It's called unsettling a rival

 

[jlove]

I think it is better to discuss those players that other clubs are NOT potentially interested in! We need to get used to having all our team attracting attention from other clubs, else we are not where we want to be.

Spot on

 

[Bigbee]

Any club could try a cheeky bid on any of our players in the vain hope we may accept.I guess it goes on all over the football world.Weve put an offer in on Ronaldo for £1.25m ,just waiting to hear..............

 

[Bush Tuckerman]

Fulham set to bid £1.75million according to the sun

So they paid 11m for Ross McCormack - and they want Gray and Tarky for less than half!! Someone at Craven Cottage has definitely had one tinnie too many!!

 

[shaun]

I actually think of the entire squad, Tarks is along with Button the player with the potential to play at the highest level and I would be very surprised/ relieved if he isn't the subject of a serious bid this summer (what is being crayoned in the Sun is clearly not serious).

 

[kevalutonbee]

And apparently are about to sell some wonder kid to Man City for £8-10 million

 

[AB]

I'm struggling to think of any first team regular who wouldn't be an attractive buy for another club so am relaxed about paper talk of bids. This is not the W£bb era so I'm confident that whoever goes will be replaced by someone of quality, even if we haven't heard of them.

Had an interesting chat yesterday with a Southampton fan colleague. The mass exodus last season is well documented, as was the fact that the one player they fought very hard to hang on to was Schneiderlin. He's now expected to go but they have a couple of other players challenging strongly to fill his spot and he wasn't panicking. Ditto Alder-Weireld (sp?). These sorts of system can work.

 

[Bush Tuckerman]

I didn't see anyone in white worth even half that in either game this season...City however are desperate for homegrown players though, we could probably sell them Moses for £20m towards the back end of the window if they don't get their other targets

 

[AB]

Roberts - looked very good in the highlights of matches he played.

 

[banburybee]

Yes I agree. Its also a sign that teams still think 'it's only Brentford, offer a few quid and they will roll over'. Soon they will get the idea that we are not a selling club any more, just one that will always listen to offers that meet our valuations AND meet our ambitions #lovingit
