Kudus, lol. Not a bad player, better than what we have, but isn’t moving any needle. He would’ve been an interesting signing a couple of seasons back but of course we want him now his stock is low while our rivals go for in form players.

Poor Frank is being sabotaged by these cunts before he even gets started.

As always. Spoke to a few Brentford fans and although they wish Frank well and aren’t bitter they just can’t believe he’s chosen to go and work for levy. I’m surprised too. I thought he was too bright to.

Why cant we just spend the extra £18m and get Eze? a player you know is going to be transformative.

Rather than this vague notion that Frank might be able to wave a magic wand and turn a very mid player into the real deal?
For the sake of £20m transformative vs. gamble

Its always this way with Levy
This is why we aren't a serious club

He needs to pocket some money himself. Its always been that way.

I understand what you're both saying and I half agree with both of you. I just don't see it being worth our while. I agree kudus is type of player missing from our attack but spending big beans on him is a punt imo. 8 goals and 6 assists is probably the best he will ever see. Semenyo whilst being more expensive would be a much safer pirchase BUT I understand Bournemouth are asking too much so we are looking for cheaper.
I'd even argue that we would be better off going cheaper again than kudus and going for someone like bakayoko (40m ish?) instead and add any money saved towards a cm/dm.

Kudus just screams middle road that will not satisfy either end of the spectrum yet will cost alot.
He will not be a talisman, a leader, somebody that takes our attack to a whole new level adding experience. (Raphinha, rodrygo)
Nor is he an uber talentented younster that is going to become that player (barcola, doue)

And before anybody laughs at those player examples I gave then let me just say...

Raphinha with 2 years on his contract.would be the perfect type of player to lead a team like ours, and 2 years on his contract.
Rodrygo could be on the market and if so there's not many that could afford him, we SHOULD be one of them. If scum can despite having multiple players over 150k then we sure should.

Doue and barcola we both had a chance at if we went hard enough, soon enough.

Not published as yet, only finished it last month.

Debating whether to self-publish or try sending it out to agents, however frustrating that might be.

My mate who self published a novel about a year ago (and inspired me) reckons that publishers swerve books that have already been published, don't know if that is true or not.

They do. You need to approach a reputable agent but they generally require an introduction.

Its a question of which Kudus we getting.
If Frank can get the Kudus of 2023/24, he absolutely moves the needle big time. 17 goals & 7 assist all comps.

You only have to look at first 3-4 minutes of this video to get how he could move the needle...we have absolutely no one who would do anywhere close to what he does.

Ofcourse, if Kudus of 2024/25 turns up , thats a different story...
