Summer transfer window.

On the Barry/Beto/Delap discussion.. would we sell Barry now at (presumably) a loss? Beto with one year left. I’d like to keep him, but you wonder if they can effectively swap him for a perceived upgrade then you figure they probably will.

Or would we keep both and sign someone else also? In that case as others have said would it not be a good move to diversify a little and go for a different profile of striker as a complement.

If we could sell Barry at a £7m loss, and get delap for £5m less than his clause from last summer…


I’d think be good with that ye know

For sure.

I guess it might hinge on the stuff we don’t know from behind closed doors, like do they think they can get more out of Barry next season, is he settled, integrated with the squad or a disruptive influence?

I'd do what I could to sign Thiago from Brentford. If he's £60mil then sell one of the other two for £20mil and bring him in.

Remember, Moyes signed: Beattie, Johnson & Yakubu all for big fees.

Would not shock me if he broke our transfer record for a CF.
 
Keeping Beto under current conditions is bad business. He has one year left on his deal, which would make him transfer free at the end of next season. We are not in a position to let players walk out of the door without recouping some money. Also extending his contract would mean he will have very little resale value in a few years agewise.

If he was pure quality all of this would be no issue but he just isn't. This is exactly the situation/player which we should move on and get an upgrade.

But that means we're stuck with Barry, who is worse than Beto. We won't sell both.

….not forgetting, players have to agree to a transfer. Beto might not want a new deal or a move this summer.

It’s often not straightforward this transfer business.

Absolutely. He would probably interest Serie A and The Turkish league clubs but as we all know they are tighter than Daffy's bottom .
Unless he is really consistent until the end of the season and we offer him a deal , we will only get pennies from a loan deal .

Thiago would ofc be a brilliant signing.

He may be looking at the likes of Mbuemo and have his sights set on a bigger name than us, if/when he moves on. City and Bayern were rumoured in the winter window.

Who's the next Thiago? We should be after him.

P.S. this is the latest Brentford CF rumour according to: https://www.transfermarkt.com/winsley-boteli/profil/spieler/994389

With Dibling, Rohl and Aznou I think they were signed with more long term goals in mind. Obviously we want them to contribute right away, but I don't think people at the club were necessarily expecting to see tons from them until next season.

People ask every window why we don't sign young up and coming players before they make it big and their value skyrockets- the tradeoff to that is their first year or two are often a bit rocky and inconsistent before they really start to flourish.

I think we recently appointed that chap with a feat record at youth/academy level with a view to addressing this issue. We have needed it for a long time tbh
