Yeah it's still a big derby. Fulham and QPR are the bigger rivalries for us though.

I was mostly ok with the transfers done but getting Nelson to cover for Wissa is just a sticking plaster. There's a lot of pressure on the successor players now to step up. I think most Bees fans are actually upbeat about the season in that we'll be safe but anything more than that is very unlikely.

Dango and Schade can both play up front. But effectively yeah, just Thiago 😕. Poor squad management. Made so much money from Mbeumo and Wissa but couldn’t reinvest it.

I hope you’re right. We really need him to stay fit and fire on all cylinders! 🙏

It's great. This is our business model. Mbeumo was £5.5mil and Wissa cost £8.5mil. £126mil profit for both players is astonishing! But the money HAS to be reinvested wisely 🤞

Your summation of Tottenham is, generally, accurate. However it would be a disservice not to mention the fact that they did actually win the Europa League last year. They then sacked their manager and took ours 😩

Cheers! You too. I'm expecing a good title push from Arsenal this year. Do you think it could be your year?

We do quite well at selling our players 😁. Hoping we get another couple in before the window shuts. I'm not as pessemistic as others I've seen are and think we'll be safe this year. I'll be happy to stay in the prem and rebuild. Looking forward to seeing Dango step up. Think he'll be great for us.

Yeah, I think if he'd only had a year left we probably would have sold at £25mil+£5mil or even £25mil. The extra year (and NFCs quite overt desperation at needing to sign a striker) is what has allowed us to set the higher price.

Brentford have the option of another year, so essentially 2 years left.

Brentford have the option of another year which would protect some of his value.

Not really sure what it is I'm supposed to "fuming" and "raging" about ... but, whatever. Good luck to you and your totally not weird fantasy of me stomping and huffing about .... something.
