Good signing for Brentford and suits the way they play. Surely means Watkins will leave now?
Shows how they were in for Taylor before, could’ve signed him for free this summer but chose to swerve him and pay up to £10mil instead for Toney. Maybe his attitude played a big part in that decision from Brentford.
Brentford have an eye for selling players on and Toney could be a big earner for them.
They have but they have been successful buying players for 3-4 mil who then go on for at least double. This is a bigger risk, 10mil for a player who has scored a lot of goals but only at League 1 level is a lot of money.
I guess they an speculate a bit more given the likely fees for Watkins and Benrahma.
Toney is young too.
Absolutely, and I don't think it's bad business as I think he'll score at this level. It is slightly different to their usual business but if they want to compete at the top end they have to spend when they're going to lose players like the two you mention.
Really have to hope TS can buy us Weds next week and Grant and Pope are sold on the Thursday. In theory at the upper end of their ranges quoted in the press we could get £13M for the pair. Add £1M for Dillon and despite the embargo that could go a long way to the academy redevelopment...or a Championship war chest.

1) i doubt well end up with that much considering the previous ownership 2) If we was given that money we will still have a transfer embargo so irrelevant i asssume 3)Non CAFC rumours?

1) dunno what Pope is but heard Grant is 20% so that will be £3 so it probably will be closer to £5M for the pair
2)if TS has already been approved no reason why he cant have already started the process at his own expense a few weeks ago, then the second he takes over the embargo could be lifted.
3)Pope and Grant are not cafc players so guessing thats why they put it on the non cafc runours thread

Agree in principle mate but there would be provisions in a sale price for any likeliness for these transfers.

As far as I know Pope’s is actually a hefty %, more than 20%. But that’s not for certain, it’s just something I recollect from before. Even if we were to get £8mil of a sell on for the pair, that’s fantastic and goes a long way in the budget for this season.
Sandgaard has started the process and submitted different forms of paperwork. Hopefully the fact he is transferring money into the new account in England means that he essentially at the source and sufficiency of funds stage should they ask. The transfer of funds to show he has enough for this season and next season is promising. He will be able to provide the documents and statements very easily. Freshfields may already have those ready to go.

His tweet earlier about the proof of funds going to the EFL hopefully that means when he takes over the embargo can be lifted

That'll work out well for us if it can happen after TS takes over - Just to make 100% sure the sell on goes to the right place
Guess they're holding out for the £15-£16m that got quoted at the end of the season
Could be lovely for TS. Buys the club from Nimer this week then gets the money back next week.
Wont be surprised if Roland has a clause in the deal that means he gets it though!!
Wonder if the snake will mentioned Matthews to the hierarchy, he certainly wouldn’t look out his depth there.
No idea if he's any good or the sort of player we might have been interested in. We don't especially need midfielders anyway
Think it was around £2.5 miln.
We might have received some add ons already as he played and scored for Hudds in the prem. So say total £3 miln.
If he's sold for £16 miln, 20% of £13 miln profit is a whopping £2.6 miln.
RD, Nimer, Southall, Elliotttt, Farnell, uncle Tom Cobley will be lining up for a pay day.
He was playing in the United States
2) If we was given that money we will still have a transfer embargo so irrelevant i asssume
