I'm not saying all players signed from the Championship are amazing - but there are good quality players in there who I believe could improve our team and the bedding in phase will be a lot shorter.

Maupay from Brentford- when I've seen them play on TV he looks a real handful at 22 years of age. I know people say Brentford won't do buisness with us but if we offer over £10m I'm sure we'll start talking.

Jarrod Bowen from Hull, again 22 years of age but a tricky winger and a great passer of the ball. Around the £10m ball park again - but these are the fees we have paid for Locadia and Izquierdo recently so I don't understand the reluctance.

In just 10-15 weeks I think we'll have a pretty good idea as to the performance of the last recruits.
I don't believe they are on a par or worse than the current crop of Championship starlets.

[MENTION=267]TSB[/MENTION] is going to be even more unbearable than he currently is, if it turns out they are. :lol:

Maupay is £20m plus

If you think Maupay and Bowen would cost us less than £35,000,000 between them then you’re mad.

Maupay would easily be £20m, Bowen would be slightly cheaper because of Hulls owner; but he’d still be £15m+

Slightly reminiscent of the closed season I spent arguing with a fellow poster the Albion wouldn't be buying Guilfi Sig (sp) for £15m.
Everton eventually got him for £45m.

The poster in question couldn't have been more apologetic, making for a very pleasant change to the norm.

Presumably this will take a while more to get over the line. Looks like the lad got married today.

Shouldn’t really make any difference, if the player has said yes the agent will be doing the rest, hopefully.

I must have missed something. Why won’t Brentford do business with us?

Bloom - Benham animosity. Probably over-egged TBH.

Maybe, but there are rumours of Bloom offering our squad a bonus for beating Brentford, and it’s worth noting that he’s always chose the away end over the boxes at Brentford.

She proposed to him?

He must be good!

Yes, he refused to go in the corporate directors box preferring to stand on the terrace with the fans.
TB also asked Gus if he could go into the dressing room to speak to the team personally.

Not over-egged at all. Apparently Bloom properly dislikes only two people in this world... this guy and a former Albion manager. Allegedly the reason for the former is due to money being stolen, so probably a business deal gone very sour

Bloom seems like a really straight-up guy, except when people cross him or take advantage of him. I'd be inclined to believe what he says when speaking about BHA.

And hires a room above one of the locals pubs for pre and post match entertainment with family, friends and guests.

Should we really be in all likelihood spending close to half our budget on another winger?

We ( the fans ) don't know what our budget is until we know whether Dunk and/or Pröpper is off or not.

So, exactly the kind of money we tend to spend on ‘off the radar’ players from Europe. Maybe we should be looking at quality home grown talent from the Championship? Might take less time to ‘adapt’?

The article doesn't say we're going to spend half our budget on him, where have you got that information from?
