I view Brentford as a big club these days. Not sure why though

Their transfer policy amounts to ‘who are Cov after’ doesn’t it

I'm sure he'd be buzzing at the prospect of the challenge of getting Blues from lower midtable to upper midtable.
i think if they are in for him and willing to pay for him permenantly he will probably go to them
If he comes good, if he sees Brum or Sheff utd as better options then we haven't missed out. I want players that want to walk the same path as the club. If he is stalling Doug already has the answer, walk away as it was not meant to be.

They’ll pay Brentford more and him more. I guess it comes down to the player.
Yep exactly why I think he may go to them.
For me, he is a player that would probably start for us in the Prem so I have no qualms with paying what we need.
I think Doug ideally would like a loan with an obligation deal.
Yeah I would like to think we could offer significantly more if we get promoted, and a loan with obligation gives us the best flexibility.
By all accounts Brentford fans rate him, and he sounds like exactly what we need in the middle.
Doubt our offer would be that much more. If Birmingham match his demands right now he'll go I think.
The folks wanking over clubs who take the piss with spending might be zipping their flies back up at this rate.

Our average age before the loans was 26 and a fraction. Ipswich is 27 and a bit. Don't think we are a young squad anymore.
And if you take out Wilson, Bidwell and possibly Allen? Which is more what I was getting at, the players that will actually play.
You can't really compare with Ipswich, their squad has depth and was assembled at huge cost. Also took them a long time to get going this season.
This is nonsense, Torp was our best midfielder on Saturday, defensively too.
Our problems in the first half v Leicester stemmed from tactical decisions, not personnel. That was addressed, hence why the second half was better.
A player like Onyeka would improve us because he’s better than what we’ve currently got, both Grimes and Torp.
I’m not sure that’s true
On my viewing he didn’t cover at all defensively
It's was a bit of both for me. Torp didn't look fit or at least sharp enough to have started that game. He was a yard off the pace in the first half. Several times a loose ball was a yard or two near him and he just didn't react.
Add in how wide Rudoni kept drifting and how deep Grimes sits, there was massive space for Leicester to break into.

When you look at what we were attempting in the first half, it was pretty bonkers. Almost like what I used to do on Championship Manager to lose on purpose!
