How have we blown this? Surely not?
AgreedGiven the type of football Brentford play, not a good move for him.
Remember how Damsgaard was gonna be the next big thing and everyone was after him before he went there? I don't watch Brentford much but he never plays does he? Strange one thatAgreed
But it may mean a bigger step up later
Could be sensible for him
Hard to tell until he plays
O'Keefe saying we only actually met with them once and we weren't that far down the line!? That doesn't add up does it?
Maybe a CM target as become available now? given what we saw on Friday and this season I would say it's more important than a winger.There are many reasons for this to happen without us having blown anything.

Who knows
Very true.I knew something like this would happen, since It was taking so long! But Brentford?? Seriously?? He'll be going to City or Real Madrid next then. Thrown away a massive opportunity here!
I love ITK, part of the windowThere are a couple of prominent ITKs who are busy thinking up excuses now. Well, I say that, but we already know they're going to either blame Levy or throw their toys out because someone dares to doubt that their info was genuine at the time.
Signing him now would be more about saving 50 million on signing him in three years when he's the finished product. We have two CMs coming back in the next couple of weeks. Any new addition there needs to be bloody good. We don't really need more filler for the squad.
IfWell that came out of nowhere, lol. He'll likely get much more playing time for Brentford + PL experience, so from that perspective it's totally understandable.
Can't help think it's a missed opportunity for us though, becuse if he fulfills his potential, we won’t be the ones paying the £80m fee.
Hopefully we can do a Willian and hijack the deal.
Has anyone mentioned “smokescreen” yet?I love ITK, part of the window
I love it even more when they a proven wrong
Who knowsAt 18 I'd say he's likely a project signing for us anyway with a view to being in the team after a couple of loans
