Also when it comes to negotiating for players the price differs, we wanted Watkins but got asked for a lot more than Brentford paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Well that's one Peterboro striker we can't sign. (for now any way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 read through another link that he was signed from Newcastle United for 400k plus a 30% sell on fee. £3m for bum face bruce to spend for doing nowt. I hope our negotiators are inserting juicy clauses for us to profit from. 30% for Masons next move? 30 grand in the bag....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 We have to accept that (up until now at least) Brentfords recruitment has been on a different level to ours.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but our academy is becoming a production line of really talented young players and in the long-run, I know which business model I'd favour.

Is it though? Hendrick and Hughes are the only academy products who stand out and we got laughable fees for both Brentford are selling players they bought for nominal fees for double figures some for 15-20 million Who else out of our academy has actually gone on to do anything of substance? im hoping that the investment into the academy is now starting to bear fruit and this may be incredibly unpopular, but I really don’t think our academy is all that, in fact up until now I think it’s been average at best. hopefully the tide is turning as seen with our achievements winning the premier league It hurts me to say it, but imo, Forest have a better academy than us with nowhere near the amount of investment and they seem to fetch much larger transfer fees for their kids than we do ours.

We may have got buttons for Hughes but that's down to that idiot Pearson and we got over £10 million for Jeff. How TF is that 'laughable'? The current set up is also nothing like it was when those lads were coming through. 18 minutes ago, Derbados said: im hoping that the investment into the academy is now starting to bear fruit and this may be incredibly unpopular, but I really don’t think our academy is all that, in fact I think it’s average at best. U18's and U23's having huge success in their leagues, playing in European comps, the flood of players coming through to the first team set up with seemingly as many more to follow. That's average is it? 18 minutes ago, Derbados said: It hurts me to say it, but Forest have a better academy than us Of course they do! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha. Forest aren't even a cat 1 academy, what an absolutely hopeless viewpoint. I don't care what fees they get, they do not have a better academy than us. The fees earned for players doesn't reflect the skill of the players they're producing. Our academy beat Borussia Dortmund and competed well against elite academies in Europe. 18 minutes ago, Derbados said: this may be incredibly unpopular, but I really don’t think our academy is all that, in fact up until now I think it’s been average at best.
