For both I'd also suggest they're settled there and don't wish to move away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they succeed, chances are they'd be snapped up by a Europa or CL team. Palace would give them more chances to bed in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry96 Posted 13 September 2020 Share Posted 13 September 2020 Don’t get how they’ll fit them all in but zaha eze benrahma and michy is a very good attack on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world where we could sign someone for the right AND Benrahama, yeah sure. If we had Brooks, Benrahama, Barnes and Perez to choose from as wide options I'd consider that a really healthy squad going in to the new season. I don't think that's wildly unrealistic either, they're all players we could afford to have on our books and I think every team should strive to have two decent players in every position. Given what we're likely to spend this summer, though, and that we need a right winger and a centre back more than we need another option on the left, it's too much. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great set of options, and, as you say, not so far out of reach for us. When the pandemic's over, and we've finally got rid of most the bomb squad, we could actually have something like that.

sacreblueits442 Posted 15 September 2020 Share Posted 15 September 2020 ....for all the quality that Brentford hold with their front three...why have they failed to be promoted!!! We have gazed enviously at a frontline that should have propelled them to the Premier League and they are still languishing in a league struggling to get out. Are we overhyping Benrahma, Watkins and Mbuemo or have they been let down by the rest of their teammates. Is there a mental aspect to this and are the trio flawed, in an inability to perform on the bit occasions, as we are a top 6 team striving to compete within the top 4, and every game demands that you are mentally ready, as soon as that whistle is blown. Not many teams are knocking at the door for Benrahma and they probably see he is not someone you can rely on in the heat of the battle and for all his skills he does not affect the game as he should. We appear to lack the finance for this window and their are good players at reasonable prices we could be looking to pick up. Benrahma would be a good acquisition for squad depth at £22m but we cannot waste any money until we address the Right Winger we so desperately require and the Centre Back that we need.

They play the worst football in the league, so a technically gifted player joining them is just a total waste. People slate Burnley for their style and rightly so but Palace are even worse. They need relegating and the owl needs packing off to a retirement home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think either Benrahma or Mbuemo would be good buys for us after a CH is bought. both would add to the team not just the squad. Mbuemo looks to have the physical presence that would suit the premier League and is no slouch either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 15 September 2020 Share Posted 15 September 2020 I can see us waiting to see if he’s still there until the last few days of the window then bidding about £18m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did we know Maddison could make the step up? Nay, how did we know Vardy could make the step up? We have one of the best scouting departments in football. If they were indeed interested in Benrahma it would be based on years of data, research and first hand viewings 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costock_Fox Posted 15 September 2020 Share Posted 15 September 2020 Starting to think there is a reason why clubs are swerving this deal. Is he or his agent asking for mega money? Could also be a concern he won’t do it in the premier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
