Brentford Director of Football Phil Giles talks to Beesotted about the transfer window and we ask the question ‘When do we say NO to a team when they come in for our players?’
The transfer window is open and all hell has broken loose. The FA Cup is upon us and 1600 Walsall fans will be en route to Griffin Park to berate Brentford for stealing their manager.
Lots to talk about today as the podcast crew go on tour once again to another Soho drinking hole. We discuss the Birmingham game. Discuss the transfer offers flying around for Judge and Tarkowski and possibly others.
And we speak to Brentford Director of Football Phil Giles to get some idea of exactly what is going on in the Brentford camp this transfer window.

I see Rangers have had a bid turned down for your French midfield player. He’ s been described up here by the Rangers loving press as a midfield colossus and very similar to Yaya Toure.
What value do the Bees put on him, presuming the £100k over 3 years offer from Rangers, plus the obligatory Embassy coupons wasn’t enough to swing the deal?
Sorry the press here are saying the fee offer is £500k, should that seal the deal, or are the numbers just fiction?
