Ryan Woods 12:23 - Jul 31 with 148916 viewsMagic_Michu

Brentford’s local newspaper saying we’re in talks with the club over Ryan Woods. He’d be a superb signing for centre mid in my opinion.

Can you imagine him and Clucas in the centre of midfield tho!? Ginger central! 😂

Nicknamed ‘the Ginger Pirlo’ ... ‘Possessing an extensive passing range, gifting him his Pirlo nickname, Woods is constantly looking to dictate the game’s tempo.’

‘But the 24-year-old is more than just a cultured footballer. He has a steeliness that sees him dominate the middle of the park and endears him to fans.

Vocal throughout a game, Woods carries leadership qualities out on the pitch and possesses a clear vision of what he expects from his team-mates, making him the archetypal ‘captain without the armband’.

With the ability to both drive forward with the ball and battle for possession, it’s this dynamism that makes him the lynchpin of Smith’s side.

Woods’ all-round game also lends itself to versatility, too, having played in both full-back positions, as well as out wide on occasion.’

Reports that his newborn baby passed away last week. Horrific news but likely to have had an impact on any potential deal. Poor bloke.

Also to be expected, one of our DoFs, and yes we have two. Said to Radio London that he wouldn’t be accepting any calls from Swansea from now till the end of August.

A Brentford fan posted that on the other forum.

Apparently bossed the game tonight according to Southend fans. Not sure how much cop they are but I suppose he can only play what’s in front of him regardless.

It’s time for us to move on from this one I think, out of price range at this present time.

Looks like this one is over.

Odd that it was said he wanted to come to Swansea but they kept him. Any of our players want a move and we let them go, even sell way below their worth.

Is it mainly because of the high wage costs our players are on?

We were way to slow to buy, dragging our feet, this could come back to bite us, & his value could rise.

We were quick to sell, should have put the same effort at being quick to buy, it could make all the difference.

Andrea Pirlo when asked by RAI UNO SPORT about Ryan Woods and the similarities between them..

"Ho sognato di giocare con la squadra piu forte nel mondo Brentford. Sfortunamente ho perso il mio tempo giocando con squadracce come il Milan. Speravo di essere meraviglioso come quello ragazzo coi capelli rossi, Ryan, Ryan Woods. Ma non potevo. Secondo me é meglio di Zidane come centrocampista, veloce, intelligente con un modo classico e elegante, Sono molto fiero che lo chiamano Ginger Pirlo."

"Va allo Swansea? Che vergogna! Dovrebbe andare alla Barca or lo Real, Niente altro."


So yeah..Ryan Woods is apparently a huge star worldwide. 7 m is a steal.

Well, yeah. Our starting wage bill this summer was probably 4 times Brentford's. They live within their means and have a healthy income from developing players and selling the best ones for a good profit.

They were under no pressure to sell anyone while we were staring down a £50m operating loss.

Woods 100% effort despite having his 'head turned' shows his character. Compare that to the pathetic 'strike' tactics of the Ayews.

Probably over but wouldn't rely on their managers quote. Suspect we're still trying to wangle a deal that won't wash. Just hope we have alternatives that we can complete on time. Suspect other DM linked like Besic are earning more than Woods.

Ryan Woods on 08:12 - Aug 15 with 2966 viewsomarjack

Now that this is over. We need to find an alternative soon.

2 weeks left..and we're still 4 players short.

I wonder who we'd be in for.

Besic is demanding a big salary, not even Boro could pay. Plus his injury record is very poor.

Chirivella wants a Celtic move. And Celtic are interested after missing out on McGinn.

Riedewald doesn't want us.


So we'll also be getting neither of those. And atm we're not linked with anybody else.

It's OK, Pearlman said he would be surprised if we didn't sign any loans.

"gasp!"

They were all surprised when we got relegated too. It doesn't mean it didn't happen.


Also, getting loans in isn't the aim..We can just raid Falkirk's academy and take 8 of them on loan if we wanted.

The aim is getting the right players.

Brentford DoF Phil Giles told BBC radio London’s Billy Reeves at ht that he would not be taking any calls from Swansea from now and till the end of August in relation to Ryan Woods.Pretty sure that’s now the end to it unless another club comes in for him.Hope your manager,who’s started very well is given some of the income from sold players to strengthen as he seems to have been put on the back foot regarding the squad.Good luck again this season.

Managers don't dictate whether a player is sold or not.
Chairman and owners do.
If your valuation is met he will be gone.
Good luck for the season.

Phil Giles reports directly to our owner Matthew Benham and is his mouthpiece when it comes to transfer matters as finding quotes from our owner are very very rare who keeps out of the media.We don’t have to sell the player and he wasn’t listed for sale Swansea approached us and were told the fee they then just danced around it for weeks then stuff was put out that we had upped the price when in fact we dropped be it a small bit.We have been very active in the transfer business over the past 4 years where we have brought in nearly 50 mill on sold players something we have to do to survive as one of the smallest clubs in the championship and don’t think you will find any negative voices from clubs we have dealt with.I think if Villa West Brom Derby or Stoke had come in for him he would be sulking now as it’s well documented he lives and his family are in the area.with the imminent birth due next month I think his mind will be more on other things than football.Lets hope your club can get some of their targets over the line over the coming weeks and support your manager.

Sadly same stance to signing permanent players. Just emphasises how useless our Board have been in player recruitment, cost control and generally planning in advance. The only thing Pearlman seems to be good at is excuses. What has he done since his appointment? Same as the rest of the Board, nothing other than destroy value.
