FoxinNotts Posted 9 October 2020 Posted 9 October 2020 (edited) It won’t happen, but...... it’d be great if we could part exchange Gray for Benrahma at Brentford. Say £10m + Dimi 🤷🏻♂️. Win win situation? Everyone would surely be happy (Dimi might have to swallow his pride a little, but he would get to play at an exciting progressive London club, that’s clearly going in the right direction).

Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 9 October 2020 Posted 9 October 2020 (edited) Reported in the athletic we were after milik and had initial conversations with him. Hes on a free in the summer. I would go really big for him in January, either signing him then for a low fee or on a free in the summer and paying the agent. He'd be a great option for us as can lead the line or play in a more withdrawn role. We'd just need to keep him fit. Edited 9 October 2020 by Abrasive fox
1972 Fox Posted 9 October 2020 Posted 9 October 2020 I think that right now Troy Deeney would be a decent buy for us on a 2 year contract. He's 32 and out of contract at Watford at the end of this season so wouldn't cost too much. Would be decent back up for Vardy.

Do hope he can get over his injury worries as he’d be some acquisition!

Don't see how it would make everyone happy all round? Gray would miss out on a huge signing on fee that he's obviously waiting for by running down his contract. Brentford would certainly not be happy with £10m + a player who has very little value with his contract situation. And agents will miss out on huge fees come the summer. The only ones happy i see wirh your deal would be us!

Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 12 October 2020 Posted 12 October 2020 Benahrama going to west ham for 30m.

The only ones happy i see wirh your deal would be us! ..surely in this scenario, Gray gets a loyalty bonus from the club!!! Should Gray sign for them then he re-negotiates a new contract which would then impacts on his market value. The style of play would suit him, he would be one of the more experienced player at the club, that they would look up to, a proverbial biggish fish in a small pond. I get the feeling that he wants to be in a close proximity to his family and London would be just about far enough. Edited 12 October 2020 by sacreblueits442
NewquayFox Posted 12 October 2020 Posted 12 October 2020 Buendia available at £20 million according to reports, would be worth a punt or a late bid for Benrahma...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 12 October 2020 Posted 12 October 2020 Brooks available for a loan to a PL team, Bournemouth think they'll get promoted so want to keep hold of him for another season.

You'd imagine any side taking him on loan would want to lock in a reasonable option to buy.
Muzzy_Larsson Posted 13 October 2020 Posted 13 October 2020 I'd try and get Benrahma and offer Gray in exchange plus some money. 1

It's just not the way Brentford do business though, every one of their signings is scouted on data, if Gray hasn't come up on one of those searches they won't go near him (even if he is a 'premier league' player) You only have to look at their signings, they're only ever from League 1, 2 and the championship or overseas. 1

Which is a shame, because it would be a lovely swap deal in the making Mad really when you think about it, Brentford have ONE player on loan this season and even he is from France. That's just completely unheard of in the Championship. 1

Spurs and Everton rumoured to be in for him - can't see spurs being an option given they've just signed a striker.

Bit of a shame, at least it's a shorter window than normal though so he won't be too out of touch!

Steve Earle Posted 14 October 2020 Posted 14 October 2020 I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m amazed that either we’re not looking to loan or buy from the Championship, or that we are and have managed to keep our moves this quiet? I’m starting to reconcile myself, grudgingly, to no further incomings. Think we might regret that & would love to see cover at no.8 arrive, even on loan (Cantwell? Buendia?). Wouldn’t we expect loan moves out for (at least) Benkovic, Thomas & Dewsbury-Hall?
