Brentford have announced plans to close the Centre of Excellence and open a new Football Academy this summer in time for the implementation of the new Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP) for the 2012/13 Season.
Brenford have today completed the signing of Antonio German on a Development Squad Contract until the end of the 2012/13 Season.
The Reading Chronicle is reporting that Reading FC are closing in on a deal for Central Defender Karleigh Osborne. Bees Boss Uwe Rosler confirmed yesterday that Reading were keen on signing the 23 year old who is out of contract in the summer and has refused to sign a new improved deal.
The Watford Observer has reported that Piero Mingoia has returned to Watford early having had his loan spell cut short. The 20 year-old midfielder joined the Bees on a month’s loan on 5th January but has not been involved in any of the match day squads and has seemingly failed to impress Boss Uwe Rosler. We wish Piero all the best for the future.
Brentford Boss Uwe Rosler has been dealt a blow to his attempts to add additional firepower to his Bees squad with the news that the proposed loan move for Peterborough United front man David Ball (as we reported yesterday) has fallen through. It is unclear at this stage whether Ball himself or his parent club pulled the plug on the deal which appeared to be all but finalised at the turn of the week but the Bees Boss will now have to turn his attentions elsewhere if he is to add to his striking options before the Transfer Window closes at the end of the month.
Press reports in Peterborough suggest that Brentford are about to sign striker David Ball. The 22 year old former Manchester City player joined the Posh in last January's transfer window and has scored 6 goals in 28 games for the Championship side. This season he has been on loan at Rochdale scoring 3 goals in 7 games.
Reports in Tuesday’s Hounslow Chronicle suggesting that Michael Spillane was poised to turn his loan move to Dagenham and Redbridge into a permanent one have now been confirmed with Brentford announcing today that Spillane has departed TW8 to join the Essex Club on an 18 month deal.
