Yes I agree - he looked pretty much ready to go and better than Manning to my eyes, but then we don’t get to see what Russ sees in the context of Russball. Not great that he’s going to a Prem rival, but such is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 It'll be interesting to see Meghoma's development now, he moved because he wanted to play (we'd offered him a new deal, he only has a year left - so we had to take the money). I thought we'd only get a couple of mill tops, although I expect that £10m is based on shed loads of clauses - we'll probably only see 4 or 5m guaranteed.

Suhari Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 10 minutes ago, Saint_Ash said: Meghoma off. Mixed feelings on this. He's looked really good, and it's always great seeing talented players come through. But SR are about player trading, and that is a very decent fee. Could this mean we keep KWP? Is Manning still getting a move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Probably a good deal for all parties where Meghoma is concerned. No clear pathway for him here. A lot of money for us for a player with under a year left on their contract. Minimal risk for Brentford (relatively, in terms of modern fees). How we got to the point where £10m is 'minimal risk' is another issue entirely... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd need to have persuaded him to sign a 4 or 5 year contract, because he would need at least two years away on loan before he'd be good enough for the PL surely. Bearing in mind our lack of success with junior contracts recently that seemed unlikely- was always likely to be tempted away by a big money Jimmy Jay Morgan style deal by a PL big fish.

I'm not saying whether he's PL ready now or that he will be. I'm simply saying that he's better than Larios now imo, and shows more promise. Larios ain't the answer now or ever imo.

Agree, feels like this is more the player pushing for the move than us wanting to move him on. As such £10M is a good fee for a player in the last 12 months of his deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 55 minutes ago, Saint Scott said: this is a great deal for the club. He might go on to be brilliant and a future england left back, but he also might end up like Jake Yokins or Thierry Small. 1 year left on his deal and not going to get any minutes this season, if he breaks through, we'd only lose him in a year or 2 for £20m anyway. Brilliant work from Parsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconnect Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Think he would be getting more of a look in if he wasnt pushing for a move. Probably thought he did well last season (which he did) and should've been dislodging Manning (which I'd agree with), but has since had a couple of players jump in front of him in KWP moving over and Taylor signing, and Larios (who himself is a very promising player) returning. Shame to see him go, but understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Matty 76 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Looked really good whenever we saw him play, and I always thought it was odd he didn't get more minutes last year. Still, a really solid fee and hopefully there's a sell-on involved too. Whoever sanctioned the £1m for him and Amo-Ameyaw needs to do plenty more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 It's a lot more than I thought we'd get. I liked what I saw of him. But that was a while back now, and there are so many senior players ahead of him. I don't know how his development has gone since then. But with a year left, the player looking to get minutes, and us having so many in front of him, it's good for all concerned. Looking forward to seeing how he gets on.

Yeah I will say as much as I'm disappointed he's going that £10million is a huge amount. Needs to be a sell on clause too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceandfriendly Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Could this day get any better?

At that point we were spending serious money on academy players, not just on fees, but on wages too. It sounds like it didn't continue though after his departure and our relegation etc. hence some young talent departing. Not every penny spent on youth back then has realised a similar profit. Some you win, some you don't I suppose. I wonder how much we have spent on his wages the last two years. Do Spurs get a percentage? Some off that eat into the profit, but still looks a decent chunk of change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsaint1 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 He really had a chance to be our starting LB last season and he would have flourished in the Championship. However RM wanted his own man in Manning and we've since brought in Taylor (plus KWP will play LB also).

I get your point, but selling a genuine talent (which is what Brentford think he is) for just £10m isn't something I want to celebrate. Better than him departing for nothing thouugh.

Very much this. I suspect the club would have liked to have kept Jaydon but with Larios still on the books one of them had to go as the club need the cash. This is the consequence of keeping KWP.

SNSUN Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I thought he'd go on loan so a permanent transfer is a bit of a surprise but his contract is running out and the money we're getting is good. Assuming KWP stays we're in good shape there anyway. He may be another Thierry Small or he may be another Bale but it'll be a few years until we find that out. Shame but with PSR it's the sensible thing to do with a short contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
