This! The people in charge at Brentford know what they are doing. I noticed Mbeumo's great season as well.

And they signed players who you could tell will do great things in the future, even though they were very young:

Mbeumo- 12 goals and 4 assists in 2900 minutes in Ligue 2 of France at 19 years as a winger before he came

Mathis Jensen- 12 goals and 10 assists in 3200 minutes as a central midfielder in Denmark in the 17/18 season at 21 years of age, before a season in Spain't top league at Celta Vigo where he wasn't given chances- this season has 1 goal and 7 assists from central midfield for Brentford

Benrahma- 12 goals and 6 assists in 3500 minutes as a winger in Ligue 2 before coming, at 22 years old- exploded in Brentford- 10 goals, 15 assists last year, 12 goals, 9 assists this year

Ollie Watkins- 16 goals and 12 assists in the 2016/17 League Two season aged 22

Maupay- 14 goals and 3 assists in 3100 minutes in Ligue 2 and a few goals in Ligue 1 as well by the age of 21

Marcondes- 30 goals and 9 assists in 2 consecutive seasons in Denmark by the age of 23

Sergi Canos- 10 goals and 7 assists in 2250 minutes in the Championship and Cup competitions before signing (you know, he hasn't played much this season and he might be cheap, would be a shrewd signing cause he is just 23 and will develop even more from now on)

Lasse Vibe- 39 goals and 14 assists in 2 seasons in 4400 minutes in Sweden before signing

So, yeah, hire whoever is in charge there!!!

Doubt we'll see any of them sign but, given a choice who you picking ? Odsonne, Chalov or Michy

Given the money Chelsea want for Michy I can't see him going anywhere

Red & Blue since 73'

You make a good point about Scottish football where I disagree with you is over the lack of opportunity that Sorloth had at Palace. He had plenty of game time and never looked like a class act.

One more point

Odsonne Edouard scores a hat trick this afternoon. OK the opposition weren’t great but that’s not his fault. He is a classy player who looks like a genuine striker and goal scorer. Celtic won’t be keen to sell him this season as they go for a record 10 in a row but he’s as good as any of the names being touted here and better than most. We should test their resolve now before he scores a few in Europe and puts his price up further.

Edouard left out of the Celtic team for the Champions League qualifier against Ferencvaros. Apparently a thigh injury. Celtic lose 2-1 and Lennon admits certain players want to leave the club. Celtic already looking at a possible replacement. Time to offer cash plus a certain Belgian striker perhaps or an Irish midfielder who supports Celtic. Come on Dougie. Bring the boy to Palace!

Not even Sky Sport are mentioning a link to Palace atm...but it may well be the player is leaving Celtic. He does seem a natural goal scorer though....
