Ryan Woods 12:23 - Jul 31 with 167311 views | Magic_Michu | Brentford’s local newspaper saying we’re in talks with the club over Ryan Woods. He’d be a superb signing for centre mid in my opinion. Can you imagine him and Clucas in the centre of midfield tho!? Ginger central! 😂 Nicknamed ‘the Ginger Pirlo’ ... ‘Possessing an extensive passing range, gifting him his Pirlo nickname, Woods is constantly looking to dictate the game’s tempo.’ ‘But the 24-year-old is more than just a cultured footballer. He has a steeliness that sees him dominate the middle of the park and endears him to fans. Vocal throughout a game, Woods carries leadership qualities out on the pitch and possesses a clear vision of what he expects from his team-mates, making him the archetypal ‘captain without the armband’. With the ability to both drive forward with the ball and battle for possession, it’s this dynamism that makes him the lynchpin of Smith’s side. Woods’ all-round game also lends itself to versatility, too, having played in both full-back positions, as well as out wide on occasion.’ [Post edited 31 Jul 2018 12:27]

Ryan Woods on 15:54 - Jul 31 with 5823 views | TheResurrection | On the contrary, I'd say these targets are a nod to our old way of doing things and it's more than likely the Americans have listened, finally, to bringing back that approach. Starting with the managerial appointment which was also, no doubt, Jenkins choice. | |

Ryan Woods on 16:00 - Jul 31 with 5771 views | Jango | Someone on Brentford site reporting we had £5m bid turned down but were still in discussions because we want a quick deal. | | | |
Ryan Woods on 16:05 - Jul 31 with 5724 views | jack247 | That definitely looks the case. You never know how a signing is going to turn out, but these look like players brought in to suit a particular style, rather than bought then shoehorned into the team or sent out on loan when they struggle. I’d have much less of a problem with Jenkins staying if he took a complete backseat in player recruitment. Selling these Americans aside, getting too involved in that is where he has really let himself down. | | | |
Ryan Woods on 16:09 - Jul 31 with 5685 views | Thornburyswan | Sounds like £6M + another £1M if we go back up. | | | |

Ryan Woods on 16:22 - Jul 31 with 5560 views | Jango | The frustrating thing is every fan down the stadium could see what type of players we’ve needed for the past few seasons but the recruitment team have just bought random crap. | | | |
Ryan Woods on 16:33 - Jul 31 with 5476 views | 34dfgdf54 | Hmmm shame. May have been a story leaked by agent to get those two clubs moving. Hate to be pessimistic but I think he’d choose those above us, especially Villa. | | | |

Ryan Woods on 16:41 - Jul 31 with 5390 views | Jango | He’s from Walsall apparently so I don’t think we’d stand much chance if it’s a choice between us and them. | | | |

Ryan Woods on 16:55 - Jul 31 with 5260 views | jasper_T | Not had many minutes in their preseason. Apparently been doing the same thing a lot of our players have, moping around waiting for an offer to come in. | | | |
Ryan Woods on 17:00 - Jul 31 with 5215 views | exiledinenglandjack | Read a couple of tweets from their fans saying he's on his way to us for £7m | | | |
Ryan Woods on 17:17 - Jul 31 with 5094 views | jasper_T | "From what I understand he'd prefer a midlands club as it's closer to his family (him and his partner moved back to the midlands last summer after the loss of their child and he's been commuting in since then) so if they match that offer I could see him going to wither of them but from our end all I've heard is Swansea with Villa and West Brom interested but no bids from them.

Ryan Woods on 18:53 - Jul 31 with 4489 views | centrestandswan | "the recruitment team have just bought random crap." Facking better than some of the sh1t we have paid good money for, heard he is sh1t hot, random crap that is. | |

Ryan Woods on 19:04 - Jul 31 with 4388 views | splJack | Good stuff. Hopefully we manage to get him, sounds like he's just what we need in the midfield. | | | |
Ryan Woods on 19:09 - Jul 31 with 4337 views | Jango | I was referring to seasons gone by, I’m more than happy with our signings so far this pre season. | | | |
