Indeed and I wouldnt want him back.

He must be third choice at Burnley behind Wood and Barnes but ahead of Wells.

Brentford FC‏Verified account @BrentfordFC · 49m49 minutes ago
Dean has confirmed that the Club has accepted an offer from an unnamed club for Florian Jozefzoon
Personal terms and a medical have yet to be completed
Derby and us were linked with him. Derby have just signed Mount and Wilson on loan. Alan Nixon said he think it's us who have a bid accepted.

Jozefzoon is a pacey, direct winger. Got 7 goals and 7 assists for Brentford in the championship last season, starting 31 games, and being subbed on 8 times. Based on today's game I would say that a wide player, striker and CB/DM are what we still need. I'd personally be fine with Alioski, Dallas and Pearce as LB options.

Breath is officially being held.

I must admit, even if this turns out to be real, I am a bit terrified in case the quality of the signings doesn't live up to my hopes.

Let's just hope it does happen and they are great signings.

Think he said window rather than week, but 3 nonetheless. Apparently we want a ST, FB and MF/winger.

I think Bielsa sees Berardi as a CB option - particularly as he offers little offensively at full back. Regardless, perhaps the FB will be capable of playing CB as Bielsa likes to play FBs at CB as he views them as better in possession.

Yoy may well be right Si.

Problem with that is the amount of set pieces and crosses into our box that we are going to have to deal with. Berardi is not tall by any means.

Our division will arguably see the most amount of the above anywhere in the world. Berardi also lacks pace and is poor in possession when under any kind of pressure (as is the inadequate Cooper).

We once again looked a small team last night and we were thoroughly bullied physically in general pay and in our own box from crosses last season.

If Bielsa has watched so many videos of this league and is as astute as he is made out to be, this will be a massive oversight.
