  SWINDON Town are casting an eye over a trio of Brentford’s key players from last season as they bid to rebuild their squad, the Advertiser understands.

Yeah like fuck we will sign donaldson

bit of an odd one to even suggest really.

What a bizarre story. I could "cast my eye" over Messi but we aint signing him either

You say that as though you know it for a fact. Messi may fancy a move to the bright lights of Swindon.

Fucking hell this close season is getting worse.

So we would have to pay a fee for both and they are unlikley to join! I assume this is the need to put any story out on a dead news day...

Move on.

It's embarrassing to make the suggestion we are even entertaining the possibility of signing any of these players in our current circumstances.

I assume this is meant to be some sort of clarion call to rally the fans after the departure of McCormack by implying we're still competing with teams like Brentford on equal terms, but the players mentioned are so absurdly out of our current financial range it just comes across as the blatant piece of PR misdirection and baseless spin it so obviously is.

Haha this is the best ever reaction to news about declaring an interest in three 3rd tier players!

Andrew Johnson got less ridicule. Heck even Chang's Jason Roberts story got less ridicule!

Nothing like a BS story on a non news day.  Has Sam been put on a retainer by Jed?

Sam's on holiday. This story is credited to Andy Warren.
It says nothing about sources or anything to give credibility to an incredible story. Bizarre!

Adeyami could be true? released by a premier league team, no fee involved, and brentford have signed mccormack, how many cm do they need?

Donaldson sounds unrealistic but why on earth are the others so far fetched?

To quote Horlock's quote of the Adver:

Stranger things have happened in that Brentford could now regard him as surplus and release him on a free. But do you think we will be spending money on signing players from higher league teams?

Adeyemi...maybe more realistic. depends on wages and his other offers I suppose.

Diagouraga is under contract and would thus command a fee, unless Brentford were looking to off load him, Risser style. The Norwich fella...well a maybe, in a saner world, than we currently inhabit.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves Batch. They're only higher alphabetically at the moment.

Doh! My brain won't except Yeovil as a Championship club. Therefore it has re-written history and Brentford were playoff winners

I said it shortly after the play-offs; I would love Diagouraga in our team.

Donaldson, I'm not so sure. Can't stand his petty antics & diving, but he certainly knows where the net is and could work well with someone like Collins.

Donaldson would instantly become our best outfield player IMO.

Would be a brilliant signing but little chance of it happening I'd imagine

So we want to pinch a strong rivals best players, yet could only make a verbal offer to a player the chairman didn't want to lose who then signs for the club we wish to poach the others from.

Yee ha.

Swap deal for Collins  :D Collins does want out though.Has done since January though tbf

No chance in hell will this happen

Thought as much from his body language for most of the season.

I think this might just be a 'hearts and minds' story - I'd be surprised if we got anywhere near any of them. I'd love Donaldson here though!

Who knows...

Perhaps Jed has been lying all along and we are about to launch into a Bournemouth-esque spending spree.

I heard Donaldson's been offered the job as Tom Daly's coach

that would give Graham Turner a heart attack

Red, Amber, Green.

Donaldson :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Absolutely no chance.

The other two are average League 1 players, one of which is a free agent, so no reason why we wouldn't have a chance of signing them.

Can you really envisage Town shelling out a transfer fee this summer?

More chance of one of Peter Venkman's wild predictions coming true than Jed putting his hand in his pocket.

Diagouraga wouldn't cost anything. Well down the pecking order with Macca and Adyemi likely signing.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Change the fucking record you snide cunt.

Why wouldnt diagouraga cost anything

Because Chang said so.

 
This

Really is jarring the tits off a lot of people

HTH.

I really don't get the vein-busting fury. At worst it's harmless speculation, and I for one like the way none of the hate-mail ever gets a rise from Chang.

But it's not though is it ?

More than happy to speculate on rumours, it's all part of the fun of pre season

Chang states it as a matter of fact rather than speculation

Did that Digourda chap play for us a while ago?

If so I believe I have a Pic of him hitting me

Yes, the season we were relegated with Iffy as manager.

Well I might go as far as to raise a mild tut about that.  ;)

For mispronouncing his name?

You believe correct. No idea where to find the pic though.


What a waste of a story - 3 players mentioned, one who was Brentfords top scorer and the other who just signed a 2 year contract - only one even remotely likely is the matey boy on a freebie.

Different players but we've released better midfielders already...

:nod:

FWIW I thought he was joking...

I quite like Chang. He seems like a bit of a parody who doesn't take himself too seriously.
