It’s Brentford - what else in their entire history do they have. In fact Toney achieved something in the summer that the club never has by appearing in a cup final - they’ve never got past the quarters of the FA cup or the Semis of the League cup and never been in Europe

24 days until LEVY TIME!
Overall I agree; maybe it's just the way it's worded.
Anyway, rather than the 11 / 27 week split you used, I think it makes more sense to break the season into 4 chunks of 10, 10, 11 and 7 weeks, because there are some clear breakpoints:
- First 10 matches: 8 wins 2 draws, 2.6 points per game, top of table, "brilliant" as per your post.
- Next 10 matches is a distinct chunk impacted by player availability (injury / suspension / internationals) which exposed our lack of depth: 4 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses; 1.3 points per game.
- Next 11 matches we got most of the squad back together: 6 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses; 1.91 points per game, equivalent to 72-73 points over a full season which would have been enough for a solid 4th place.
- Last 7 matches is a distinct chunk as one of our worst ever season finishes, fell off a cliff; 2 wins, 5 losses; 0.86 points per game.
The depth issue seem to be getting steadily resolved.
The need for upgrades in the forwards is obvious and agreed by all. It's disappointing that nothing has happened yet but we're not privy to the reasons behind that. There's over 3 weeks left in the transfer window and I believe our recruitment team is on the case.
If we get to the end of the TW and nothing has happened, then I'll start to worry. But I'm not going to worry now about something that hasn't happened yet and over which I have no control.
"Shadydan said:Bto just give it up man, you're done.
Conte said it will take 3 or 4 windows for a title challenge, you'd think by then we'd have the players who are capable of playing at a high level enough to sustain a title challenge.
Think it's one of those ones where you just gotta trust the manager and chill."
"If you're silly enough to 100% put full trust in what managers say then I've got a bridge to sell you..."
The duality of man, maybe this ain't one of them ones
Yeah it was in the context of the post about us only spending 50M this TW and Ange gone before Christmas.
The cheek they are a club that are smaller than almost every club in the Champioship. 8 Sides in League 2 have a bigger Stadium than them and only still in the prem because they are backed to the hilt by their owners.
Dominic Solanke
However, it is believed Bournemouth would be reluctant to sell the once-capped England forward so late in the window because of his standing in the squad. He has three years remaining on his Vitality Stadium contract. TEAMtalk understands that Tottenham could lodge bids for both Toney and...bournemouth-forum.vitalfootball.co.uk

At Spurs ? I think there's a good chance that we'll win a trophy before Spurs do.

Even Bournemouth are laughing at spurs
You’ve got to find the money day one rather than spread it over the length of the contract or what not. It’s cash flow
Cashflow is not an issue for us.
It's not like we need to use our own cash. We could just get a loan to cover it and repay over the length of the contract.
With a balance sheet like ours we can get very good terms.
Just another excuse for inactivity.
Constipation once again.
We need something. Gray and an already signed Bergwal is insufficient if every sense.
Not good enough.

West brom have better forwards than us
This must never be us. We got a little silly with Harry Kane. I hope we have learned.
When we move into our new stadium, maybe we can compete with clubs like West Ham, Newcastle etc otherwise it’s just too risky of doing a Leeds
You guys!
We still have 24 days left in the window, plenty of time to go.

let's just say I learnt my lesson from that

Why do you think they’re demanding upfront payment?!
Because they know it’s their best way of retaining the player, and that most teams won’t bite, not just us!
Who do we think we are going to get, solanke and Neto only, or both of them and A N Other.
