Does this mean we don’t need to sell Summerville?

Will it all be invested in solid signings??

I don’t like football anymore

Who’d have thought that Leeds could spoil our mood bang on in the summer break and in the middle of euros. Only Leeds.

That’s the price of failure to get promoted. Decent money for an 18 year old and I much prefer he’s going to Brentford than ‘insert multiple clubs here’ who I dislike.

I hope the club has a decent sell on clause because if he continues to improve this time next year his value will have soured to over £50-60 million and who knows the likes of Real Madrid may come sniffing and he's alongside Bellingham and Mbappe within a couple of years... but until then it's Brentford where Archie will
undoubtedly get more game time and the platform to show the EPL his unique quality. Good luck to the guy and thanks for your brief but beautiful shining light

Leeds United selling our most promising youth, again. To a small club.

Same old story, fee doesn’t look great.

he will have spoken to, got advise from all the rellies, so let him be

Is this 100% true?

If so, count me as stunned. Not over the price.
The destination. Not ragging on Brentford. Wow.
But, FFS Brentford?

BBC saying 40 mill plus add ons.

If that number is true, LIW I owe you an apology.

Cant turn down £35m for a player, just turned 18.

And brentford, where he is very likely to start, is right for him.

No point going to spurs, liverpool etc etc, and barely get a game.

They will sell him for 70m next season and we wont have put in a sell on fee

And It is true, got a message this 8 O’clock this morning, but wasnt given a club name, just that it was UK club.

LIW, is Archie good with this? As in, is he happy with
this move or was it forced on him? If he's happy,
and at that price, hell, we/he'd be daft not to do it.

Someone had to go but it’s a shame it’s him. However if £40m plus add ons is correct that’s a great fee for the lad.

I love him and thinks he’s gonna be a great player - but right now he’s not what we need to get us promoted.

If it settles our PSR issue as well, without the need to sell anyone else, then it’s just about acceptable to me.

Good luck Archie! Brentford will probably continue to progress you. He’s a decent coach and I think they are a well run club.

They will.

Brentford are a superb club IMO.
But, sh! T, I was stunned to read it was them.
Out of nowhere. As others say, he'll get a ton
of playing time. Under a top coach.

Same as Stoopo, love him. And good luck Archie.

Forced on him, Eddie, stepping back from Leeds.


Harry is not happy, either. Could be leaving too.


Gray family fuming, going to issue a statement once it is done.



Thats what ive been told.


Time will tell, if thats all true

Eddie stepping back??

What - that’s probably an even bigger story.

Jesus Christ. That's sickening. WTF is the club
ownership thinking? There's going to be Bates-level
hate sent their way if this is true (don't doubt you
LIW). What a mess.

Club will spin it.

Eddie will tell the truth.

Fan base will believe one side, the Grays.

This has to be a windup? An actual windup?

How the **** are a pokey club like them taking us to the cleaners yet again.......

I have heard similar about Archie Gray. The club are the ones pushing it. He doesn't want the move.

Although ive heard from a few sources Harry has got a bit of an attitude about him

Rumours circulating that Farke and the Gray's are furious and both want out. Absolutely what we don't need now, its our season to win, not feck about like this and undo all the good progress made last season.

Wow. Fcking nuts.

This seems to answer the question I asked a couple weeks back about PSR. And were we in trouble.

I was told we weren't. This transfer says we are.

Seemingly its 40 mil plus addons and its likely that its to cover PSR regs. Sad state of affairs tbh
