Ethan Pinnock
33
LCB

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Don’t hate it, much needed experience. Contract seems a bit long,

 

[SleepyGinger]

Good signing

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

4 year contract! Wow must have plenty of legs in him. Just what we needed, good signing!

 

[alexccfc99]

Don't hate that transfer tbh, bit of experience

But a 3yr deal with the option of a 4th sounds a bit much for a 33yr old

Cutting down my posting but breaking it for this.

This is more like it. Premier league experience and I'd put him straight in to deal with McBurnie

 

[b12345]

Don't mind it, good insurance if the lad from City isn't up to it or has to play LB

 

[TomRad85]

Pinnock and Mfuni? I'm alright with it tbf. Concentrating on that left side.

Cutting my time down when transfer window closes, but definitely a good thing to do.

Don't know much about him. Right footed, left footed? Quick, slow? Is he any good on the ball?

Edit: left footed which is good. Low fee for that many EPL apps. Hope his legs haven't gone.

Was he left out for them at the weekend?

On the bench

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

So how many ITK points we giving @Saddlebrains

 

[PVA]

Obviously we'll try and shift Woolfenden, but presumably with this deal and Mfuni then Kitch could be off as well?

 

[Pusb1]

33 year old who played 4 games all year last year on a 3 year contract for over 5 MILLION POUNDS!

panic season i need to go to sleep honestly

Would think it would be Lati. Then we'd have Pinnock/Kitching for LCB and Amenda/Thomas for RCB.

 

[SleepyGinger]

worth a look on the Brentford forum

Unless we see Mfuni as a LB, sounds very much like he can play it. We'd have a lot of tall fuckers in the 11 if so which isn't a bad thing.

If his legs aren’t gone that’s a great signing. Seems to be just outside the first team at Brentford, consistently on the bench and played 30 odd games season before last so hopefully it’s more that they afforded someone better than his legs have fallen off.

Him organising the defence and Mfuni and MvE giving us pace works for me.

Id imagine he will bw the left back option

 

[Shannerz]

I don't really know much about him as a player, but he has a wealth of experience for a good Premier League team, which is exactly the experience we need.

We haven't had a Fadz experienced head in that defence since... Fadz.

I imagine our defence will end up

Mfuni Pinnock Amenda MVE.

 

[TomRad85]

I'm not going to pretend to know how much money we have left but i doubt it is much. Getting LB and LCB sorted for the cost of £5 million plus a loan seems smart. If we can somehow get Mudryk on loan then great... Maybe Doug is holding back for one more big one, wouldn't mind it being another CM tbh.

Sounds ok to me.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Do I get my in the know hat back now?

 

[Winny the Bish]

Premier League experience = Brilliant
Brentford fans saying his legs have gone = worrying if true

Let's hope for the best.

 

[alexccfc99]

Seems to be a bit of a Brentford legend/cult hero of modern times judging by their fans comments

 

[covcity4life]

Same.

I thought he was white until 5 mins ago lol

 

[shmmeee]

Contract til he’s 36 tho

 

[False9]

Not a terrible idea to get some experience but the fee and contract seems a bit mad to me

 

[Hobo]

People are saying Lati is too slow, then getting excited over Pinnock. Pinnock has been a great player for Brentford but he hasn’t played much last season and clearly lost his pace and his time is up. This is like when we moved McFadzean on.

 

[Hybridtheory]

Brentford fans have nothing but good things to say about him but a 3 year deal at 33 and £5m wow PL is crazy !

Brentford fans are saying they should hold onto him, and he never seemed to have pace to start with. I think you are jumping to conclusions here.

 

[TomRad85]

Sometimes just got to give the player what they want to get it done i suppose, shouldn't be the kind of thing that kills us these days even if relegated with parachute payments etc... I would have thought 2+1 was more realistic though, do we think the club will let us know?

 

[SleepyGinger]

Contract til he’s 36 tho

37 if the +1 comes in. It’s probably the only way he’d leave Brentford and London.
