They tried to sign Bakayoko from PSV last summer so I think they’ve always been after a young exciting winger.
Nowadays PL clubs like Brentford can comfortably spend that amount.

Beaten on what, though? Wages? Signing bonus?
Even if Brentford offered a high price for the player, he doesn't have to go there.

Agree, could well be we're looking at putting that £25m into a young but proven player who can raise our level now, not in 2 or 3 seasons time.

Have to factor in immediate impact and everything that goes with that risk is reward and risk is failure . This club do run like an insurance company most of the time

Well that's that then. I can only hope we have another player lined up.

Yeah agreed, I think he would be a really good option for us.
It would allow Kulu to move more centrally.

Because €30m must be quite a substantial chunk of Brentford's transfer funding.......I wouldn't imagine Brentford could afford to take a lot of the risks that other teams can (having said that, I haven't looked at their accounts lately, so perhaps they can and I'm underestimating their financial position).
*edit: Just taken a quick peep at their financials, and in 2023 FY they had a turnover of ~£140m with a profit of ~£30m. So, depends how you look at it - €30m is a huge chunk of their turnover, but less than last FYs profit (assuming all else stays the same).

I've no idea what that means. Well ok, I guess it means no hope but have never heard that before.
People jumping on the Levy hate parade, you don't get every player that you go in for.
Maybe we need a player now and Nusa won't come now. Maybe Bruge want a big sell on % which we're not willing to give. Maybe Nusa thinks he's more likely to get more playing time for Brentford.
Maybe this is Bruge way of pushing us to give them what they want.
We've done some awesome business of late, people were the same when we missed out on Raya, look what happened there.
We can't blame Levy for every failed transfer, not without knowing the full details.
I'm not a Levy fan boy bye the way, I just try and apply logic rather than hatred.

Probably a good bet but missing out on Nusa is incredibly disappointing as I think he is a big talent.
Potentially banking on selling Toney.

No worries mate , really grateful for everything you pass on.
Hadn’t thought about the Fati situation, very true.
