[SmiffyBee]

newsbot is the best...

surely news bot just picks up on mentions of Brentford and Brentford FC and regurgitates them....ipso facto - Chronicle leads, Newsbot follows...

[SmiffyBee]

Wasn't there supposed to be some transfer news later in the week.

Yes, in case you missed it, the transfer of Robertson is not happening and the transfer of Bidwell is not happening yet

[Bill Benn]

Think there might be some more movement at brentford dock this weekend

On the link that was posted - the one I saw - it didn't mentioned weight or height at all. Explain that.

Easy Lenny.... I mean Larry!

Yep, very encouraging. Good idea to get one more experienced in asap, give a youngster a chance during pre-season and if they can't hack it to bring someone in early once things start for real. I like the ways things are taking shape.

If Uwe's only looking for a left back I guess that means Logan's not in contention for MR. Shame IMHO but I guess it makes budgetary sense.

???? I'm on an iPhone so it takes me to the mobile version of that link. Not sure if that is different? But the link shows a list of players, click on his name and a picture of him comes up with his personal details and a statement about him. Wigan it seems do not bother to fill in the details of the youth team, so have put his height and weight down as '0'. So after seeing this, I made a joke about the fact that at '0' height and '0' weight, he looks a bit short and lightweight! Personally I thought it was funny, clearly I was wrong!!!!!!!

Have to agree - if that's what it said it IS funny. Unfortunately, I went to the version linked in to GPG - and it didn't mention anything, so I couldn't see what anyone was talking about. Sorry - just hope that if he's any good he signs.

[Bigbee]

I think he'll be a hit with the ladies and some of the men from the Northampton area

[Bigbee]

Maybe , Robertson wanted him to tag along in a Ginge charity attempt, but he wanted to walk 5,000 miles

I think I need some Irn bru to learn me up some Scottishness ,I of course meant 500 miles I even posted it around 7 pm BST which is a worry

BST = Before Stella Time

Oi cheeky boy!! The Northampton Mafia have been informed of your comments and expect a visit any time soon! It's just a myth, we do not swap knitting patterns on a regular basis!

yes. german isn't that young --- he played for rangers first team a few times. if he cannot make the main squad he should move on.

[SQUELCH]

Lloyd Sam had plenty of good reviews whilst on loan @ Notts County last season - seems like he is on the way out of Leeds as well, London lad ex Charlton, more of an attacking winger - guess many could say very similar to Myles but as Myles clearly isnt fancied by Uwe - i wonder if Lloyd is worth a look.

I mentioned him a few days ago............. didn't go down to well

[North London Bee]

I would be truly staggered if we signed another winger

would like to get him in still feel we're a tad weak on the wings.

[sonofabee]

He's another member of the inconsistent flying winger club.
On his day unplayable but those days seem to be very few and far between, bit like our Myles. If we offload Myles be happy to have him as an option but doubt we can afford or would want to accommodate both.

Yep, we haven't had a flying winger who's been consistent than my mate Neil Smillie. Boy I'd give my right arm to have someone like him at the club now. Maybe young Mr Dallas will come good in a few months time. Let's hope.

[alexcavell]

It will be interesting to see whether we do. I'd favour signing a winger on a 3-month or half-season loan.

We ended last season usually playing a diamond without wingers at home (using Saunders/Forrester behind the strikers), but away from home we often played 4-4-1-1 with a full-back on one wing (Logan / Bidwell at Chesterfield) and Forrester/McGinn/Donaldson on the other wing. McGinn is obviously not an option any more, but we do now have Weston back from injury and Dallas.

Weston IMO is not a lost cause, as he's put in enough good performances to suggest he could be an asset for us (and can be a very useful super-sub). In his first two seasons (the second in particular) he lacked consistency, which he needs to improve on. Last season saw him largely kept out of the side by in-form Saunders and McGinn in the early part of the season, and then injury struck after Christmas. This season is make-or-break for him, and perhaps the best way for him to show us he's worth keeping would be to go on loan somewhere for the first few months of the season, where he can find form and consistency. If we bring in a loanee winger for the first part of the season, that would leave us well covered, whilst also allowing Dallas to be slowly brought into the side.

Unlike Woodman, Weston hasn't been made available for transfer and it may be that Uwe considers him to have potential if only he can buckle down and capitalise on his strengths, in particular his speed. He's still relatively young and if he can work on his game and achieve greater consistency he may yet prove to be a major asset.

[wanderer paul]

Weston hasn't the basic ball skills to play the way Uwe wants the team to play. Weston has his uses but will find himself on the bench more often than in the first XI and probably used sparingly IMO. Best to move him on and find a better player if possible. You just have to look at Forrester, Saunders, Douglas, Forshaw and Toumani to see what type of player Uwe needs to play his way. If McGinn had some balls, he'd have stayed here, a much better ball player than Weston. We'll see soon enough.

Still feel that his major skills are just simpley running and putting the ball in the back of the net! Maybe he is up for the 3rd/4th striker?

Spot on. I reckon Weston will be staying but like you said we will soon see. Last few games of last season he was played in a more forward role and done alright. He doesn't have a football brain, not great ball skills or tricks but he does have a good left foot, he's super quick and he can cross a decent ball. A few more goals would be nice to see.
