They have money behind them, a good manager, a new stadium and play at a higher level than us.
Good luck Ezri play brilliantly and our sell on share will be higher.1 -
Shocked that's it's Brentford, but wish him the best.
Hopefully we didn't get Katrien in to negotiate the transfer fee.0 -
This has all the signs of an RD dodgy deal.
Assuming BexleyBoy is right and the value of the transfer is wiped off the value of the club, is it conceivable that this was done on the cheap and that the real value is in any potential sell-on clause which RD will keep as he did when he sold Standard Liege?
I really don't rate Konsa as highly as others so not overly concerned he's been sold, but really hate the thought of RD profiting from us even after he has finally gone.3 -
Brentford!!! What has our club become!!!2

Who agreed this?!2

To be fair we've been really lucky to have been watching the Championship stars of tomorrow.29

Well, that's a strange one. No doubt we've got fuck all money for him, as usual.0

I’m going to have a guess at Konsa!benjest1989 said:Who agreed this?!

Surprised that he gone to Brentford and the timing of the deal is unusual. Always gave his all and wish him the best.

Who gets the money?1

Think it’s worth remembering that (I’m pretty sure) the Aussies will have had to sign off on this deal, so it’s either a good deal for us or they’re prepared to swallow whatever Roland has taken.2

Hahah he's shite anyway. Brentford a far cry from Everton or Arsenal1
-
Roland gets the money I would imagine. Reduces his debts, and this will not fund a squad rebuild, just make it more difficult.0
-
Player sales announcements are a bit of a kick in the balls and particularly so when there is no chance of player incomings whilst this take over nonsense carries on - football feels really unfair at the moment - how many more kickings can we as fans take without a shred of positivity?

Speaks volumes that the largest bid we got in January was less than 2m.
As long as money from sales can start to be invested in the squad then that's fine by me.0 -

I'm not saying we should follow their model - we have the fanbase, catchment area and spirit that means an academy model is still preferable. But they've worked wonders for a club of their size

Probably a replacement for Chris Mepham. They turned down a bid of £11m in January, before he'd played a dozen games in senior football.0

If there was a gap in the price between Roland and the Aussies, perhaps this has closed it3

No secret that Konsa was going to go - good luck to the lad. The news that SCP may have a clause in his Southend contract is interesting though.2

Brentford like snapping up good young players from lower league clubs! Watkins from Exeter last summer now Konsa this summer1
-
Taking the emotion out of it for a minute, he's wanted to move seemingly for a while and has been on the radar of prem clubs for a year.
He's guaranteed championship football, will be even more in the shop window for the top flight now and probably got a bump in pay without having to move from London.
If I was him why would you risk staying at a basket case club that has a disinterested owner who wants to sell, no full time manager and no guarantee of that changing any time soon as we stagger further and further through the close season whilst most clubs are formulating plans and shaping squads for next term. Charlton are a big gamble at the moment with nothing to point at that we will be even better off than last year and possibly worse if a takeover doesn't happen soon.
No brainer if you are Konsa.10 -
2.5m plus add ons apparently2
-
Not surprised we've sold him, but definitely surprised it's Brentford. If the rumoured price is true (around 3.5-4m) then you'd have expected other clubs to be interested in a talented young English player0
-
if Colin was right on Konza i hope he is about CP as well.0
-
Brentford owned by a professional gambler I think, and are looking to progress.
Similar to Brighton a few years ago, so no big shock really.1
