Thanks for a well balanced and written piece. I think that echoes all our thoughts (and fears) but as our profile grows we need to be aware that our skill in developing players will lead to them moving on. The plus is that other players will want to come to us.
Anyway, It’s Brentford, innit…
Excellent article.
I always thought Adam Forshaw would leave us for a good Premier League team.
Last season we seemed to start the campaign relying too much on Conor McAleny. When he got injured you sensed Rosler was having to completely rethink the season and develop a Plan B.
This time, like you say, I’m sure we have considered various scenarios of certain players not being available.
Tebar and Pritchard do both look absolute quality. It might have to be a case of the King is dead… Long live the Kings.
Shame to see him go but we’re still in a very good place. We’ve added quality in every new player that has come in. Our situation is unlike Southampton’s for example where they’ve lost so many of their better players and struggled to replace them.
Thanks for helping us reach new heights Adam but if you have requested a transfer to get you to Wigan Athletic then see yous later.
Excellent and balanced comment. I hope Foreshaw can retain his commitment to the Bees and see the Brentford project through to it’s next stage. The squad with it’s recent additions looks exciting with plenty of healthy competition for places. Whichever way you look at it someone somewhere is going to be dissappointed, I hope Foreshaw stays he is a class act! But ask yourself the question with Judge, Moses A, and Tebar recently added as new midfield signings, plus the expertise of Douglas already in place life will be difficult anyway. When you add in the fact that we also have the potential of McCormack, Reeves and Dave you get my gist. Add to the mix Saunders, Pritchard who is a class act in himself, it’s not a bad position to be in. Please stay Adam and keep the team morale high!
I am a Wigan fan, but I took the opportunity to watch Brentford several times when living nearby and still look out for the results.
I don’t think there is any gripe or needs to be any gripe between Wigan and Brentford fans.
A couple of things regarding Wigan. Whelan is now an old man who is not involved in making bids or negotiating transfers. Unfortunately he is sometimes an interviewer’s dream and he gives them a good soundbite.
I haven’t seen any evidence that Wigan have leaked news of the bid to the press. I do hope this isn’t the case, because based on history it isn’t our nature to do it subtly.
We spent 8 years in the Presmiership and unfortunately the way clubs go about their business sometimes isn’t nice. We’ve had many players unsettled and I think in 100% of the cases we eventually lost them.
We had to find our value to new signings in the Premiership merry-go-round. It wasn’t wages or signing on fees, but the chance to perform and then move on if clubs come knocking. It worked making us a profitable club with 8 years Premier League experience and FA Cup Winners.
At the same time the club learnt how “we need to” do business rather than “how we would like to”, but as far as the fans are concerned we are still living the dream.
My guess is that the player holds the trump cards right now, although there will be people trying to influence.
Either way I hope it is sorted ASAP and I wish you all the best for the new season.
Very good sober view of the situation,just hope it works out well for us financially I’m sure we will find a good replacement as I believe he’s as good as gone.
