“Surprisingly” lol. That’s what you have to pay these days in that league sadly.

He’s certainly worth keeping tabs on, but he hasn’t shown enough for me so far. Also still debate over whether he’s a striker or a left mid.

£20 million should keep him at Brentford for the foreseeable future.

Yes, we should be looking at Drinkwater, Moses and Loftus-Cheek at Chelsea, well within our budget :roll:

That’s the minimum standard of player we should be looking at yet we refuse too.

Unambiguous board and clueless manager who clearly doesn’t know of any other leagues than the championship.

Still it’s easy to see the ones who are the sheep and buy interesting this little old Burnley tripe.

You sound like you are 13 years old playing on FIFA all day long.

If you manage to get a break from your PlayStation why don’t you look up the meaning of unambiguous as you have inadvertently just paid them a compliment !

Well done to Brentford for taking a punt on him and snapping him up for around a £1m when he was receiving rave reviews for Exeter week in and week out.

If it wasn’t for autocorrect then clearly it was meant to be unambitious.

Seen him when he was at Exeter and I know a player is only worth what some club are prepared to pay but think we can do better elsewhere.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: No mate, it's fact he didn't play much, it's conjecture from your mate that he didn't play well. Bruce got sacked because he played one up top in home games and was very negative. The fact the new manager has brought him back into the first team squad straight away (memory tells me he was his manager at Brentford but I could be wrong on that) tells me that Villa haven't written him off yet - not saying they won't but they haven't yet.

For you to say Scott Hogan is crap is ridiculous. Hendrick is crap when he plays number 10 but better when he's played in his proper position for example
