@BristolBomber @FormallyRicky Henderson has been absolutely dreadful for us since October/November his drop off from August to May was massive.

A part of me dies every time I see Bournemouth and Brentford spending crazy money.
Kills me even more to see them sign from traditionally big clubs.
Football is so fucked.
🍁@OlIyCFC
Brentford should not be able to spend £40m on a 19 year old from Bundesliga, it’s absolutely ridiculous. The competitive balance of European football is totally destroyed.
English
@DonkeyQuixotic @KaiGWatson @FarvaRangers I don’t support my local team because they might win a trophy that is something fake glory hunting armchair fans do watching on there tv. I support my team because it’s where I grew up, it’s where I’m from, it’s part of my identity, my soul.
English
@Beesbloke @KaiGWatson @FarvaRangers Spend as much as you like wee guy, it's just Monopoly money after all
Maybe if you keep spending all the money you might even win a real trophy one day 👍
English
What chance have you got when clubs like Brentford are spending £40m+ on players.

🚨🆕 Brentford have submitted an offer worth €45m (€40m fixed + €5m add-ons) to 1. FC Köln for Said El Mala. Köln have not responded yet. They still want at least €50m, after @AxelHesse1. Confirmed. #Effzeh El Mala has not yet agreed terms with Brentford. The player first wants the clubs to negotiate. @SkySportDE 🇩🇪
English
@DonkeyQuixotic @KaiGWatson @FarvaRangers Why can’t we spend £40m, that’s not even our record signing
English
@Beesbloke @KaiGWatson @FarvaRangers So they've achieved literally nothing but spending £40million on a player yeah ?
Cool story 👍
English
@xyleneLFC @stustuy @OwenHobbs12 @OlIyCFC @degenshooter So from the £71m we got for Mbeumo & the £55m we got for Wissa we shouldn’t spend £40m? If we sell someone we are labelled unambitious, but if we bid £40m for a player it’s outrageous and shouldn’t be allowed 😆
English
@stustuy @OwenHobbs12 @OlIyCFC @degenshooter Its nothing about being well run, Brentford are just lucky they are in the richest league in the world. Swap AC Milan and Brentford and youd see Brentford fighting relegation

@DonkeyQuixotic @KaiGWatson @FarvaRangers £40m is nothing we sold Mbeumo for £71m and Wissa for £55m
English
@KaiGWatson @FarvaRangers What exactly have Brentford FC achieved so far in the game of football that they could have earned enough to pay £40million for any player ?
Have they ever won a significant trophy ?
Is EPL moneyball ruining football ?
English
@THFCHarvey18 Clueless, we sold Wissa for £55m and everyone said oh Brentford are a selling club with no ambition, then if we bid £40m for a player it’s oh Brentford shouldn’t be able to spend that. Twat
English
@AgentKevLee @AFeverDream_ @OlIyCFC We sold Wissa for £55m and haven’t replaced him, what’s absurd about spending money we already have
English
@AFeverDream_ @OlIyCFC Because Brentford a tiny little bus stop in Hounslow and the writer is clearly pointing out how absurd it is that they can now outspent every club in the world outside the Premier League with the exception of about half a dozen clubs
English
@SC92kfr @JimmyBurnsYT No. It’s on a small plot of land penned in on all sides by railway lines, to expand would mean building up and over the line, high cost and timescale wouldn’t make it worthwhile. The alternative option was building a bigger stadium but not in Brentford which we didn’t want
English
@Beesbloke @JimmyBurnsYT Very true, personally want yous to go down due to the small stadium and it’s harder to get away tickets 😂 any plans to expand it ?

@JimmyBurnsYT @SC92kfr Yeah, Benham’s wealth is approx £350m a pauper compared to most PL owners but the method’s & strategy he has introduced has proven far more valuable than just his ability to throw cash at the club.
English
You have been doing this moneyball system for a while & you've shown no reason why it isn't sustainable. That's why I give you the tag of "the world's best ran club". Our owner Doug King wants to try take inspiration from this as he is financially in the same shoes as Matthew Benham.
English
@SC92kfr @JimmyBurnsYT People have been saying that since we got promoted to the Championship 12 years ago.
English
@JimmyBurnsYT @Beesbloke Yeah no teams ever finished in the top half of the prem and got relegated the next year have they ? One of the best run clubs in the world ? They’re punching massively above their weight and it’ll come to an end soon.
English
@Christo09383128 @Kashcov1_ @JacobHorsfall_ That’s exactly how we signed Watkins, Toney, Mbeumo, Wissa, Thaigo. Read the book Smart Money by Alex Duff, it’s about how Matthew Benham (Brentford owner) used Xg among other data to transform us from Mid league 1 club to top ten PL club.
English
@Kashcov1_ @JacobHorsfall_ So your saying a club buys a player based on their expected xg and not the actual goals they score?
Let's be serious now.
English
This. Isn’t. How. You. Use. XG.
Football on TNT Sports@footballontnt
Sunderland might have just finished off xG once and for all 📈
English
@SC92kfr @JimmyBurnsYT @BrentfordHive Because he couldn’t even get on our bench, we ended up loaning him out twice. He ran around a lot while the game totally passes him by. Championship level player at best
English
@JimmyBurnsYT @BrentfordHive Because one Brentford fan has said he’s not up to scratch 😂 fucking clown
English
@Rattlesnake7 @alimullaley Genuinely no idea, when all our midfielders are fit he should be no where near our first team.
English
@Beesbloke @alimullaley Has he been that bad? If so, why has he been picked for the WC?
English
If Jordan Henderson never plays for us again, it will be too soon. That was an absolutely disgraceful way to behave. #brentfordfc
English
@MsMalixo @BIGBADDERS To be fair he’s been absolutely awful for us since October, if we were playing any other club today he would have been on the bench. Andrews at fault for accommodating him in the starting lineup today to massage Hendersons ego
English
@BIGBADDERS Like I said, the way Brentford fans approached this was disrespectful. I'm sorry that they didn't get Europe, but I am not going to let them disrespect him like this. They will realize how valuable Hendo is as soon as they get what they wanted in him leaving, that's if.
English
Reassuring to know all clubs have a few dickheads following them.
Rian 🐝@rianmbfc
Need 2 goals in half an hour for Europe and Jordan Henderson’s wasting a minute walking off as slow as he can shaking hands with the Liverpool players. How about read the room and show a bit of respect to the club actually paying your wages? Embarrassing.

"The fans have been amazing for us, home and away. I'm just disappointed for them, the players, and the club that we couldn't quite get over the line" 💬

@JPMillwall2 @hulllad47 Why? We didn’t sign good championship level players with the aim of getting us to the PL, we signed young players who had potential of developing into PL players, so the journey itself took longer but once we made it we already had 9-10 players capable of competing at that level
English
@hulllad47 @JPMillwall2 Brentford went up & only spent £30m in there 1st PL season. We built from a solid base put together in the championship with Raya, Mbeumo, Toney & players like Jensen, Pinnock, Henry, Janelt all who have now made 150+PL apps. Going up and buying a whole new team is unsustainable
English
@JPMillwall2 Every year the same thing is said about teams going up ino team going up is ready for the prem it’s all about recruitment
