He can sign a pre contract agreement in January I think.
I think that only applies to foreign clubs

6 month deal and the option of a further 12 months.

He is 30 in 3 weeks isn't that the retirement age for players according to this site ?

On second thinking, Brentford team full of Danes, plus London, plus clear of relegation = us no chance.
How long is it since he played? And didn’t he have an iffy injury record before that?

That is one high risk move with his fitness levels likely to be well below PL standards, I would say.

I want youth with pace and hunger.

I agree that little chance of signing Eriksen given Denmark links to Brentford and in the area where he lived, but fitness wise we tend to keep our games tight so even 15 minutes could see that key pass unlock a defence to win a game, we simply need a player to make that pass. At present we don't have one good enough. Dwight and JBG don’t get enough assists, Westwood neither.

We were fine supposedly bidding for the Rolls Royce (Aaron Ramsey), which we wanted everyone to now about despite not affording a fifth of his wage, but when the VW Golf GTI comes along, with good history, we dont get involved

You have made this daft comment more than once, which person at Burnley released details of us enquiring about Ramsey.

Played over 300 games for Spurs in 7 years and 60 for Inter Milan in a year and a half before his Cardiac arrest so would say his injury record wasn't bad at all until then. He hasn't played since the Euro's but has been training apparently. Given we are absolutely desperate for reinforcements and in that area too I think he'd be a superb signing- On his day he's not far off a world class player- It's worth the (low) risk in my opinion.

Maybe the same mole who’s leaking information to Jordan regarding CW contract, a lot of things are getting said & stated without retraction & absolutely no rebuttal in defence. Extremely strange but it’s a load of nonsense of course :roll:

I quite like Simon Jordan but Jesus, if people had to deny or rebut things every time he offered an opinion it would be never ending.

Regardless of that, selling Wood for £25m now is good business. We would never have an opportunity to recoup money on him at that level again.

On the face of it it’s good money but if CW suddenly discovers his goal scoring abilities & we become relegated as a result of it then it’s bad business.

Fair enough, that’s more than decent. I thought I’d heard he’d struggled for fitness at Inter.

I agree, he is a class player if fit.

Mentioned this about three weeks ago. Surely with his ability, it's a no-brainer to bring him in on a short term, low cost contract. After all, it's him who said he's desperately looking for a chance to prove his fitness back in the PL.

It was in more media than I can mention including SKY. Did you not see any of it. You have to assume someone generated an enquiry. You will tell me next there is no truth in the Benteke interest, after all no one at BFC has come out and admitted it

I saw it mentioned several times, that isn't what I asked. You accused someone from Burnley leaking the interest rather than the leak coming out of Italy so again which person connected to Burnley leaked it.

Every single report told you it did, show me 1 bit of evidence that it was leaked by Burnley.

You stated it as a fact, shouldn't be too hard or were you lying ?

Been supporting the club for nearly 60 years and heard millions or rumours, stories who the club was going to buy, I could not tell you the person that leaked any of them, including this one. As a fan when stories gain mass momentum you take them seriously. Just like me you are assuming the source is from Italy,so like me you cannot give me a name, but I am not calling you a liar, so lets call it quits. Its a message board at the end of the day and not a court of law

Less than 2 weeks until the window slams shut. Plenty of time to get in the 2 players we needed before Wood left and now his replacement too… I hope

Two chances of that happening. *

We might get one to go in but three? In January? I'd expected maybe midfielder plus perhaps a couple of up and coming to push for places next season.

Wood leaving complicates the situation but forwards cost more money and it's unlikely we can squeeze one in at short notice without ut being short term (a la Carroll) or loan (would be a surprise) or a huge gamble (expensive big fish in small pond type who a) could be a huge flop a la Vydra or b) unlikely to come )

Get prepared for disappointment- Newcastle have massively ****** over our window because we have to spend half of the ti e chasing a forward as well as our other possible contracts.

*No chance and no chance at all
I’m not so convinced we were not already looking to bring in another forward, this just makes it even more urgent and I’m hoping they’ve been working on this and having conversations for the last couple of months, not just since the window reopened. But we’ll see

Perhaps rather than hope for a saviour to emerge in this window we need to employ the players we have more effectively. If SD gives a little and experiments with new ideas we might yet escape without a huge outlay.

For instance Brownhill had a decent goal scoring record before he came to us but playing him the way we do that’s just completely dried up. Dwight McNeil should be a much more prolific scorer than he is, getting him into the box more would I think pay dividends. Playing Mee Tarkowski and Collins would I fancy bring dividends from set pieces. Somehow we have become a side who only sees goals coming from forwards.

On second thinking, Brentford team full of Danes, plus London, plus clear of relegation = us no chance.
The reason that Brentford have so many Danish players is that Matthew Benham, the owner of Brentford, also owns FC Midtjylland - the top Danish club.

That gives Brentford a huge advantage in terms of transfers for Danish players and transfers in general. Thanks to Brexit we can no longer shop in the lower tiers of Europe. Which happens to be where a lot of the bargains are.

However, FC Midtjylland can sign players from any league in Europe. They join up, get the rubber stamp for being in a top league European club, which makes it a lot easier for them to get a UK WP. Looking back at the Summer window Brentford signed Frank Onyeka from FC Midtjylland for £9m. He was a good fit for Brentford, good player, and more importantly he put a lot of cash into the coffers of FC Midtjylland that can be used to sign future players who will gravitate to Brentford.

Clubs that have European partner clubs, like Brentford, Man City, Leicester and others have been given a huge benefit over other UK clubs thanks to Brexit. They can operate freely in the European transfer market while everyone else has their hands tied behind their backs.

In respect to Danish players, Brentford can also function as a retirement home, because they can send Danish players the other way - like they did with Dalsgaard in the last window.

Trading between multiple clubs owned by the same person or organisation should not be allowed, but unfortunately it is.

Irrelevant anyway. From SSN:
Christian Benteke is expected to stay at Crystal Palace.

The striker has no interest in leaving this month - especially not to a team fighting relegation - and is happy at Selhurst Park, Sky Sports News has been told.
While money is also part of the equation, we can't throw it around like Newcastle (who are in the same boat as us in the relegation battle), so those who are expecting us to be signing the likes of Origi or even Eriksen might want to rein in their expectations.

Other than his goals keeping Newcastle up at our expense, there’s absolutely nothing to suggest if that happens for them it would’ve happened for us.
His attitude and effort levels have been shocking for some time, and his comments about “comfort zone” should tell us all we need to know about his inability to motivate himself.

We are well rid….

But we signed Cornet from Lyon - despite Brexit
Brexit changed the way that Work Permits are allocated. Prior to Brexit we could sign any player from any country in the EEC regardless of what league they were in. So we could sign players from the second or third leagues in France and Germany for example.

After Brexit the way that Work Permits were allocated, in terms of the qualification criteria, changed. Those changes make it very difficult to sign any players from the lower leagues in Europe because the players have little chance of meeting the point tally required to get a WP. However, it does make it slightly easier to sign players from the top leagues in other parts of the world, like South America.

Signing Cornet was straight forward, because he came from the top league in France and he plays for his country. So no problems with a WP at all.

Loosing access to the lower leagues of Europe, and all of the cheap hidden gems in those leagues, makes recruitment a lot more difficult. Not that we seemed to be looking at those clubs while Rigg was devastating our club. However, the change does make recruiting players for bargain prices, in the case of recruitment by clubs that don't have a lot to spend ( like clubs in the Championship and us ) immeasurably more difficult than it used to be.

The annoying thing is that this was all very predictable and why it was imperative that we did business a few windows ago, in anticipation of this change - when we didn't.

I believe it to be totally unrealistic to expect us to sign three starters and two for the bench this month. I hope you're right and I'm wrong providing of course it wouldn't put us on a precarious financial footing.
It shouldn't put on a precarious footing if we spend wisely on younger players who can only improve, not on mercenaries like Benteke and Carroll. blimey! we've already got 3 strikers over 30 in the building who can't hit a cows backside with a banjo, we certainly don't need another one.

We juat don't have the scouting in place to search for 'hidden gems' in Europes lower leagues. In fact should we or any other premier league be looking there? I rather doubt it.

A little bit on Tyrese Campbell... Probably regurgitating news, but fits our MO

Suggested him on another thread. Another poster told me he’s been ‘off it’ form wise since returning from a bad injury. But he definitely has the talent and finishing ability. Plus we know how to do good business with Stoke…

Now using money from Wood to finance this would be a fantastic bit of business, As I said on another post Collins will be able to give the management an appraisal of him (maybe even have a word if they are friends). His value in time could increase but I guess if this has legs it needs to move quickly for Stoke to reinvest for a promotion push

I just can’t comprehend losing two of our best players in the middle of a relegation battle.
If you think those two have been anywhere near our best 2 players then I'd suggest watching games and not reading less stats.

Wood been woeful. Played like a worse Dele Adebola all season. McNeil, Cornet both been better, probably Taylor and Lowton.

Tarkowski and Wood have been the two letting the side down the most, how many simple mistakes has Tarkowski made that cost us a goal? Wood's been useless all season long.

Collins look a safer bet than Tarkowski to me, better on the ball and understands his limitations on the ball, Tarkowski has some ego on the ball, ideas above his station.

You said several times that Lowton shouldn't be dropped for Roberts as he had been our best player this season

Yep many of our senior players simply haven't been up to the mark this season, hence why we're sat bottom of the pile, but Tarkowski and Wood have been especially poor compared to previous seasons.

For me Collins plays in our next match, whenever that eventually takes place, as countless posters have mentioned at least he'll be here next season, whereas Tarkowski doesn't give a monkey's as he's too busy lining up his next move.

It shouldn't put on a precarious footing if we spend wisely on younger players who can only improve, not on mercenaries like Benteke and Carroll. blimey! we've already got 3 strikers over 30 in the building who can't hit a cows backside with a banjo, we certainly don't need another one.
I wasn't commenting on either of those players. In fact I have specifically said Benteke wouldn't come here thankfully. I was saying that I don't believe you are being realistic.

I’m sorry but this is just nonsense. They are two of our best players and the stats back that up.
I have no argument with Tarks, even though he has thrown a few into the net, but if you have seen stats that rate Wood at anything above 6 per game this season you need to look elsewhere for your stats. He has been appalling and I don’t go withall this nonsense about lack of supply. His head was turned after his hat-trick at Wolves and he’s never been the same.

Seems they are just regurgitating the Sunday Mirror link posted before from what I can see. Few comments from Stoke fans recently that they are pretty tight with FFP at the min so might be tempted to sell, albeit suggesting at £15m+.

Too many people writing off players. They’ve all proved themselves at this level but some of the elasticity has gone out of the mindset. I fancy many have become numbed by always being on the back foot. The framework is getting worn and threadbare at some point SD just has to let the players start enjoying football again. Week by week grind eventually wears players out, saps their confidence and motivation. That’s where young players provide the fire and enthusiasm and can reenergise the side.

Other than his goals keeping Newcastle up at our expense, there’s absolutely nothing to suggest if that happens for them it would’ve happened for us.
His attitude and effort levels have been shocking for some time, and his comments about “comfort zone” should tell us all we need to know about his inability to motivate himself.

We are well rid….
It doesn’t but what it will demonstrate is that the service to him has improved, if he does suddenly start to improve it should be a good indicator of where we are going wrong, same player & different team, we are only well rid when/if a better replacement arrives.

Loosing access to the lower leagues of Europe, and all of the cheap hidden gems in those leagues, makes recruitment a lot more difficult. Not that we seemed to be looking at those clubs while Rigg was devastating our club. However, the change does make recruiting players for bargain prices, in the case of recruitment by clubs that don't have a lot to spend ( like clubs in the Championship and us ) immeasurably more difficult than it used to be.
Genuine question, how many players from these lower European leagues are currently playing in the Premeir League or the Championship?
