Shame our boys missed out and the 🐍 who shall not be named will be going to the World Cup ☹️☹️ DRC are not there, yet, as they now have to play in the inter-confederation playoff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(inter-confederation_play-offs)

This Brentford fan thinks he’s going to be in the team to “pass”. Think again Premier League idiot! We need him to run about and smash into people.

I genuinely wouldnt be against him stamping his mark on the league with 5 bookings in his first 5 games tbh! We're far too weak from front to back. So soft. We need a bit of mettle in the team. Somebody to put it on the opposition toes and break up their play. Let everyone else play fancy football, you just need to get in opposition faces when we havent got the ball. Disrupt it however necessary.

Unless we dont get promoted, he is staying with us. Lets hope hr lives upto expectation as I have never seen him play, as I suspect, many others on here havent too. A stormer against Oxford would be very welcome

Just had a gander at their forum and it's a mixed bag, I don't think him saying he wants to play for Man Utd helped him with fan perception.

I'm excited. At the end of the day they are currently a top 10 side in the PL.

From what I've picked up, his strengths are his engine and ability to break up play and win the ball. If he's good at that (it sounds like it's his other side of his game that has dropped him down the pecking order) in the PL then those strengths will really translate in the Champ.

The gap between the PL and Champ is massive, he may not have the fully rounded game that the PL requires but he'll be a star in the Champ.

Fan opinion isn't the best metric to go by, many people on here are very negative about our fringe players but they would be top players in league one.

Welcome Frank the Tank, smash it!

So they are saying that he has a good engine but is not technically good enough for the Prem.

So we are signing him permanently if we go up .. to the Prem.

He was Brentford’s first premier league signing wasn’t he? His one of the main reasons they stabilised and then pushed on in the prem. They’re a fickle bunch already. He will be a cut above in the Championship.

I really don't understand this thinking. Who cares?

The only thing anyone should be focused on is actually getting there.

Good signing on paper. Certainly gives us options.

Intrigued how Lampard is going to make it work. He isn’t going to drop Grimes, and I don’t think he’ll want to revert to two deep 6’s. So we lose one of the more “offensive” midfielders (Torp, Rudoni) to accommodate both Frank and Grimes.

Hopefully it gets Grimes playing further forward, which helps us retain possession higher up the pitch and stops him defaulting to a third CB. While Onyeka can win the ball and get us on the front foot quicker.

The double pivot makes sense, but potentially at the loss of some “creativity” (when players are actually playing well, not current form!).

Just one observation generally about Championship business today there, there was loads of teams scrambling around unsuccessfully including Ipswich. Looks like Onyeka was the main target for a while. Loads of people suggested we should be gambling on these Premier League players on a loan with an obligation. Fair play to Doug. Got the deal done.

Yeah I’d say we have had a better window than Ipswich and Boro

Reflecting on his career, the former Borussia Dortmund and Monaco forward said: "I never played in the lower league throughout my 15 year, 16-year career. I never dreamt of the opportunity of playing in the second division.

Ah yes, the Libyan premier league, famously stronger than the English Championship because it wasn’t a “second division” 🤪

Not that it makes much difference but would be interested to know why it takes us so long to announce signings.

This is Frank meeting his new team mates at 1.30pm today.

Maybe they think they can take their time because they don’t plan their press releases around snivelling fans throwing tantrums online because they aren’t giving them dopamine quick enough
