Ryan Woods 12:23 - Jul 31 with 148926 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.’

There’s going to be some serious backtracking if so


Doubt it - doesn’t change the fact that the club finances are a complete mess.

Those 3 positions are the bare minimum the squad needs. We’ll see who comes in and what the squad looks like at the end of this window.

Woods on loan being reported this morning:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45174506

Routledge out mentioned in the same article. If we're waiting for the likes of WR to go out before we can bring in other players this simply has to be about freeing up wages.

Fair enough.

Yes but can you see QPR paying Routeledge more than what we pay him.
Will want a hefty rise I think with the price of a pint in London.

They’ll probably just make a contribution towards the wages we’re paying him.

Don't QPR have a transfer embargo as part of their breach of fair play rules?

IMO they should have been allowed to gain promotion until this case had been settled.

I've never seen Woods play. But those who have seen him always elevate him and praise him as one of the main reasons why Brentford had a really good season.

But many could be praising him just because he's English tbh. Never underestimate that.

Whoscored also has Leon as having no significant strengths and says his passing and tackling are weak. Not sure how much you can read into a website like that...

I'd say the club's finances are well in order and what we're doing in getting rid of the high earners is why.

Unlike West Brom and Stoke who are clearly pushing some dangerous boundaries.

That kind of players can't be measured with their goal and assist tally.

Check out Ngolo Kante..

214 matches..11 goals..16 assists.

Yet he's certainly one of the best of the best in that position in the world.

We have had to adopt the most drastic measures because of our past failures to look after finances.

The video link I put up of him, he looked good with his long balls and assists.

Good potential, I can see why he was voted player of the year:

Just to be fair, Leon didn’t always play in the defensive midfielder position. A large amount of those games, especially in League 2 would have been on the right

Wouldn't be a transfer rumour without a Nixon update, so here goes.

Reckons we want Woods, but will need to pay the fee Brentford want. So would be surprised if this was to materialise. It is weird he hasn't been back in their squad yet though, despite his other half being due any moment.

What could he be worth to us? If there's a chance he could make a difference to get us back to the premier, then it would be worth paying the extra.

If we really want him, much better to get it sorted quickly and agree a deal.

Time is money, if this is sorted, more energy could be put into looking for other loan deals = we could get better 'other deals' secured also.

FFS if we get a second chance to get him we shouldn't haggle over the fee. Get it the f*ck done.

How much do Brentford want for him anyway? 7 m?

For what it's worth he is valued on transfer market at about 2 million quid.
So maybe Brentford are trying it on after we paid stupid money for Baston Bony Andre Ayew and Clucas.
We can't have it all ways moaning for paying to much then moaning for sticking to our guns on the price.

Disagree... this is what got us into this mess before.... just paying whatever...

7 million is actually quite alot of money for a team rebuilding in the championship...I would rather us take a bit longer for the right prices... than just doing poor business and just accepting anything the other club says. not good business..

Nevermind Transfermarkt values..They mean very little eventually. Every club values their players differently.

VDH is valued at 2 m..he plays like a 10-12 m player imo.


You're saying Brentford are trying to take the most out of us. Surely, all clubs would do that. And Especially now that we're more desperate. But what of that exactly? Potter wants him and he believes he'd be a great fit for us. You can't put a price on that. Especially if he was one of the main reasons to get us promoted. 1-2 m extra would mean very little then.
