Does anyone remember McParland (may have the wrong name) but worked at Brentford in the Recruitment team with Mark Warburton. Seem to remember him joining us in the Recruitment team, and within weeks we got Joey Barton and Andre Gray. Both were fantastic signings and helped us win the Championship ...

Hendrick to AC Milan, Wood to Lazio, next people will be saying Pope has been spotted in Rome!

Hopefully towards the end of October, although with 80% of people ( being generous ) unable to follow the current guidelines, it will go on much longer than it ever needed too.

The news is Boro want Gibson, but only on loan, Norwich also interested, we want Worrell from Forest, Sheff Utd also interested.

So no actual news then, just what everyone already knows.

Boro want Gibson but cant afford him, we want rid, and if we do get rid we will be replacing him.

MACCA

Nixon has got a story about us in the paper tomorrow. Oooohhh the suspense is killing. I presume with the death silence for the last 18 hours, it's as underwhelming as ever... Although Burnley has been mentioned in a couple of papers, Northampton have signed an ex full back of ours, Joseph Mills.

Are we allowed to actually vote for the best one?

My choice would be Greenwood TAA Pulisic But think the top 2 will be reversed. Greenwood is 18, scored 1 in 3 in his first season in the premier league usually played slightly out of position and or used from the bench. Total season stats are 17 goals in 47 appearances including goals in Europa leag...

Hands up who else thought that we'd had a bid rejected for a goalkeeper.

That's is exactly why the title was as it was.

I believe the youth of today call it "clickbait"

MACCA

Our only bid to Hull was the last day of a transfer window. Taylor was signed early in another window. Ahh so you have to bid for them to be the number 1 target. That explains it now, not that it mattered if we bid or not, if Liverpool were interested he was only ever going 1 place. We probably hel...

MACCA

So we were reported as being priced out of a move for Robertson on 25th June by a couple of journalists, and then landed Taylor on 6th of July.

Suppose we could call a couple of weeks a different time, and Taylor the obvious number 1 target just like Lansbury once was.

MACCA

Like I said, different time... When Taylor signed he was first choice... At one stage we wanted lansbury, is every midfielder signed after that 2nd choice? Regards Taylor, a couple of journalists thought diffrent, if their sources aren't in the know as much as you, then fair enough. Suppose it's do...

Different time

So we wanted Robertson first, but then moved on to Taylor?

MACCA

We had a bid accepted by Hull before getting Taylor from Leeds. We signed Vydra after not wanting to spend 18m on Jay Rod. So basically once we figure out if Gibson was gone for after we missed out on Mawson, then that's all 3 I mentioned not being the first choices initially? Have I understood you...

Taylor was first choice, the other two quite clearly not.

Ah I thought we were after Robertson from Hull, I'm sure those in the know can clarify one way or another.

MACCA

How do you know they weren't his first choice though? I can't recall us being linked with 3 left backs at the same time and ending up with Taylor. Same with Gibson and Vydra. We are usually linked with one player for a certain position and we hold out for that one. Just because we weren't linked wi...

Which players did we sign that weren't his first choice?

That are still here?

Gibson, Vydra and Taylor, but I'm sure there are more.

Itd be more interesting to know of the ones that didnt arrive.

MACCA

Maybe glwe likeiving it the club shop as much time as possible to get rid of the old stock.
Those extra pounds add up.

MACCA

I quite like the idea of missing out on Che Adams personally. Fair point, I just wonder what further miracles Mr Dyche could work if he actually landed some of his number 1 targets, rather than settling for option E, F and G. Who knows how different players will perform under different managers and...

MACCA

I remember reading somewhere that some clubs like to make signings late on to avoid paying wages for the month or so from signing when no games are played. If we sign 4 players of 40k a week. That’s half a mil we could save in wages by signing them a month later in the window. It sounds so crazy an...

Would keep at all costs

That's out of our hands should a club come in with 50m

Sad thing is, is when Brentford take their cut, we could be left with under 40m.
Its massive money to us, but it only gets us 1 or 2 proven premier league players at best.

MACCA

But he could bring more than £25m in value anyway. Sometimes losing a player towards the end of the contract isnt a bad thing. It means we have got longer out of them and they have paid their worth in a different way. Possibly, I'm not sure the board will see it like that though. I think they know ...

MACCA

If we fail to get a club to hit the 50m release fee this summer, then I think we would struggle to get much more than 25m next summer when his deal would only have 12 months left on it, and he'd be free to talk to clubs from January of that season. We might see it as the last chance to get the 50m, ...

Ah, you’ve forgotten our play-off win from 2009 then?

Nope, it was far more action packed than this.

We should have had 3 on the day, these 2 didnt manage 3 meaningful shots never mind goal scoring chances.

MACCA

The Bottlers, bottle it again

Truly awful goal keeping in such a big game.

This is that poor, they should both have to stay in the championship, and we run next season with 19 teams with only 2 relegated.

It wouldn't shock me at all if Hendrick re-signed with Burnley. He's a handy player to have around.

That would be silly.

If a player walks out chasing the cash, which then falls through, you shouldn't then welcome him back.

Even less so for a Jeff Hendrick type.

MACCA

All these jokes cud start to get a bit tedious..

MACCA

Brentford have choked twice v Stoke and then Barnsley, looks like this might be the 3rd time.

If they do go up, they need to invest heavily, last 3 times I've seen them in the aforementioned games, theyve looked a poor side ( obviously not eith their league position)

Any streams for this game?

Wouldn't bother, it's been rather dull.

MACCA

Not surprised about that, or disappointed really. Think 3xRB’s is a luxury we can’t afford and should focus on CM/RW/CH this summer, with RB priority in January or next summer. Read page 1 of Matty cash thread... those in the know have told you all you need to know. He will be here in the next week...

MACCA

Quite a slow start, Brentford checking back when 1v1 and there's a chance to hit the dead ball line.
All this we will attack attack attack looks a bit false.

Fulham might do a job on them here, Brentford look nervous.

Fulham.at 3/1 looks a good bet

( although I want Brentford for new ground tick )

Defour’s lob against Bristol City in the cup was unreal , never seen a goal like it before or since.

That's us out then. Time to move on and prioritise the 3 positions we really need to fill. CB, midfield and right wing.
