    On the verge of joining Aston Villa, for an initial fee of £28 million, rising to £33 million.

    £33 f*cking million. Mental.

    I hope that Walsall have a sell on clause.

    I doubt it. They signed him from Exeter.

    Fair play to Brentford. Once again they get top dollar for a player.

    If he was our player, we’d have sold him 2 years earlier for £1.5 million.

    Our owners should look at this and take note:

    Yeah I remember watching his last game for them when he went missing in the play off final that they lost. I got him confused with Henry and Sawyers who both came from there.

    Yawn. How many times. It’s like a broken record. If they don’t already know what folk think. They never will or don’t care.

    So we shouldn’t be selling either Brown or Woodrow unless it’s well over 6m each at least.

    So that's Woodrow gone for £250,000 then..... probably to Brentford.
    Our selling policy won't allow us to fleece other clubs !

    They get top dollar because they spend enough to keep players further into their development than we do. They gave Watkins a new contract after getting 10 goals in each of his first two Championship seasons, and was probably earning considerably more than Woodrow is currently on.

    Similarly for Pinnock, imagine he was playing for Luton and got promoted. Luton would've set a valuation, and we'd have offered a fraction of it, like we are doing for Whiteman, while Brentford go in with a realistic offer.

    Problem for Brentford is, they had Watkins step up when Maupay left, but they can't guarantee that with whoever replaces Watkins, and their model looks like it is reliant on either promotion or a big money sale.
