Brentford v Wolves Match Thread

Be interesting if Fulham sign the player we bought to replace Jimenez to replace Jimenez

Sasa evidently also wanted by Eintracht Frankfurt and other German clubs. Certainly looks like he will be leaving and with Fabio also gone we have to presume the club have a striker lined up to come in

January this year looks like a good time to ship players out and bring a couple in. Because of the winter break we only play one league match in January and that’s Brighton away on the 22nd. And it’s a chance for GON to start to shape the squad the way he wants rather than the one he inherited. I suspect we will try to do deals on a loan basis to begin with then an obligation to buy in the summer. That gets the cost into next years accounts and helps FFP

I appreciate that we're more likely to get a player on loan with the obligation to buy, but I would prefer "an option" to buy. We struck lucky with Cunha, who had a crazy clause in his initial loan, which meant he only had to have 3 appearances to qualify for the permanent move.

With Fabio and Sasa leaving, it will be interesting to see what GON is going to do with the current squad. We can certainly play without an out and out CF, as this season has proved. So if we are bringing in someone to fill that void, is it wise to change a system that seems to be working well.

We certainly are more attacking force this season and I agree with a post the other day that we have a better duo in midfield than we had with Neves and Moutinho. In my opinion, we haven't missed Neves at all.

Lemina had to go back to France so may miss tomorrow

Sounds like his father is ill, but I do wonder who will replace him. Traore is recovering from an illness, so maybe Doyle.

Lemina’s father has been in hospital in France for two months and after the Chelsea game he dedicated his goal to him with the message ‘keep fighting dad’

Hearing that Sasa is evidently not too keen on a January move. Seems unlikely to happen unless he changes his mind.

Evidently we are interested in Adam Armstrong from Southampton. 👍

No thanks, too much like we already have.
