Thinking about possible players for next season, Brentford's Jonathan Douglas might be a good signing for us. An energetic player and vocal leader on the pitch. Someone who can run a game in midfield and can help bring Ince along. Aggressive and not afraid to get stuck in when things going against the team. Sign him up.

Did we not try to sign him a few years ago for about 30k?

Didn't hear that but I've always liked him as a player. He's got one more year on his contract at Brentford so might cost a bit more than that now.

Think we've got enough central midfielders.

I wonder if Hughton will try and get Lansbury from Forest, who has only got one more year on his contract.

And Douglas is better than all of them, except Kayal.

I agree he is a good player, but why would Douglas want to come here? He is currently playing for a side with a good chance of promotion via the play-offs. Even if they don't go up, l'm sure, if he moves on, he would want to go to a team at the top end of the Championship.

Don't think we would ever do business with Brentford

Who knows if he'd come but he's a realistic target which would much needed leadership and energy to the squad.
He might take the view, despite this season, that Albion is a much bigger club; building a side capable of promotion and already playing in a state of the art stadium unlike Brentford which won't move into their stadium until the 2016/17 season... but who knows..
