Hopefully Ryan realizes he's better off at a genuine club rather than a Red Bull ad campaign.

You mean potential Bundesliga champion? Or potential Bundesliga Champions Lge representative? Look down on them if you will but, if they maintain their form, they're certainly far more than an ad campaign.

And while we're at it, EVERY major professional club is an ad campaign for someone or something. Why treat them differently?

Don't get me wrong. They're a good club on the pitch, and I can see them becoming a dominant force for years to come. However I believe what they do is morally wrong. They buy out a club, rebrand it with Red Bull logos and pour in the money. They starve all the other clubs of their young talent by paying ridiculous money, i.e. Timo Werner, Oliver Burke, Davie Selke, etc. and as a result glide through the divisions with ease. Yes, what they do in terms of youth development is admirable, but that's about as far as it goes. It's no surprise they are top of the Bundesliga right now, and in my opinion they could be the new Bayern in the future in terms of dominance. At the end of the day, RB's purpose is to sell an energy drink. The only reason they are RB Leipzig and not Red Bull is because the DFB won't allow it. Just imagine, would you be happy if we were called Red Bull Fulham? or Visit Florida Fulham? I would never EVER want us to become anything like that, even if it meant we became Premier League champions. At the end of the day, football is about fans and not anything else.

[spikey norman]

Could it be us?

Alan Nixon‏ @reluctantnicko
Scott Hogan developments. Very big bid in. Championship side. Don't think ever been linked with him before.

Cant be us says Very Big Bid we dont start off with Big Bids

Sky Sports reporting that WBA after Rudy Gestede from Villa and Villa want Hogan.

[Buffalo76]

Even if we did make a bid 4 Hogan Villa would probably offer more, plus I can't see Brentford selling him 2 us anyway.

[AlexW132]

I'm under the impression that Villa are trying to hoard all the good strikers.

[river phoenix]

Villa. They already have McCormack, Kodjia, Ayew, Kozak and Agbonlahor, they spent on two of them close to 30 mil this season and now Hogan. How many strikers do they need?

Just like Sheff. Wednesday. Hooper, Forestieri, Fletcher, Joao, Nuhiu... and they want to bid big for Rhodes.

[MJG]

Not sure I'd gamble on Hogan. Past injures and ok hes been hot for Brentford this calendar year but hardly proven.

[AlexW132]

I'm not sure 20 goals over 2 seasons should warrant a 9 million price tag.

Villa also have Gestede, rotting on the bench

Pretty much same here. A very good player, he`s been profilic for both Rochdale and Brentford, but that knee injuries are a concern, for sure.

Better gamble on Omar Bogle for under 1 mil.

Its 20 goals since April this year because he was out till March with injury

I suppose so, but I'd give a player 2 whole seasons before I'd call them proven.

Agreed. As i said he's on a hot streak. He did give us problems and I liked the look of him, I'd just want more proof he has it in him if I was looking to spend on him.

[Buffalo76]

Cairney to Brighton for £3m next month???? Anyone seen anything about this? Was told this by a Brighton fan so it could just be a wind up.

We couldnt afford him, or we could but Khan would never sanction it. Bees mates love him, hes injury free now and is a fantastic finisher.
Anyone who scores goals is going for silly money track record or not, another pluck from Warburton too to go aling with Andre Gray

But given hes less than a year after that injury and while his short term record is good, for me hes not worth big cash, so in this case I'd back the club if they dont want him at a high price.
