I was saying Booephens.

Has he ever actually made a PL appearance for Brentford, or indeed anyone? He might go on to have a decent career but so far I don’t know what you’re basing your assessment of him on.

I agree, plus if you’re going to argue we’ve replaced THB with ‘a kid with 13 appearances’ then you also have to argue we’ve replaced Quarshie with a guy who has over 200 Bundesliga appearances. People cant argue it both ways just because they want to pretend we’ve had a bad window.

You can’t just hold on to everyone to make other clubs pay more. I’ve no doubt we could have afforded a couple of million more for Falchener if we thought he was worth it. We haven’t paid it, so I can only assume he isn’t.

Looks more like a Hurricane with the stubby wingtips. 3/10.

Never heard of him but clearly he must have something about him that we like the look of, so I’ll reserve judgement. When they first signed, everyone thought Larin was crap and Orsic was quality. If we’ve replaced THB with Slotty, that doesn’t look a massive downgrade on first viewing, so if Abbott is a better suit than JQ then overall we’ve got a more even selection.

How many leaders do you think we need? We have JWP, Stephens, Slotty and Peretz in the squad already.

The Death of Stalin was brilliant too.

There’s absolutely no way a human had time to react to this into order to deliberately handle the ball. His arms were up in front of him because it looked like he was about to collide with another player. I’m not saying I agree with the rule as such but I’m not disallowing this for a deliberate handball.

Good luck to him. I always assumed he was one of those we'd be selling in this window, along with Charles, so I can't get particularly upset about it, although it is a shame to lose a player of his ability.

If he scores on his debut, the stadium will be in raptors.

It’s not rigged, that’s the correct interpretation of the rules as they are written. It was given as an o.g. Because the initial shot was off target, not because it ‘got a nick’.

We did it a couple of times in League 1 by the same scoreline but I can remember any 6-1s. I thought maybe the Tranmere cup game in 2002 but having checked we did score first.

Well, it’s going to be interesting to see who turns up as three into one position doesn’t really work. One of them is going to be a bit cheesed off with a lack of game time.
