Ryan Woods 12:23 - Jul 31 with 157742 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 16:15 - Aug 9 by TheResurrection | Ryan Woods has gone nowhere yet. Why is that? By some of our fans reckoning, he's the be all and end all, yet no other club has stepped in. The Brentford fan said the same thing Was it a case of a Championship club trying to take the piss with their high valuation? We've moaned like hell we've sold on the cheap but that 6.5m could be a lot more than he's worth, as nobody else has come in for him. And surely if he was as good as we're all making out he would've literally been snapped up, wouldn't he?? But he facking well hasn't, has he eh??! |
He was the perfect fit for your lot if you were serious about returning to the way you used to play. Your club seem to have just thrown in the towel. If you look at other relegated clubs they at least make a go of it in the first season. Surely it would be better to invest? If you bought Woods for 6.5 million and he had a bad season I still think you'd get 4 or 5 million back next summer, if he had a good season though, you'd probably be looking at 10-15 million given the exposure he'd get at a club who has been in the premier league for the last 7 years! Not to mention he was obviously a player Potter really wanted to build the team around, and could possibly help launch a bid for the play offs. You're not even giving Potter a chance to compete | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Ryan Woods on 16:18 - Aug 9 by londonlisa2001 | We bid £6m. He was Potter’s prime target. We had to ship out Clucas, which we’ve done. Woods wanted to join us and was waiting for the Clucas deal so he could join hence not going elsewhere. We have screwed it up. There really is absolutely no excuse. |
Why have we screwed it up then? Why did we bid 6m and not get him? Stop fannying around with cheap insults and sarcasm and spit it out. | ![](/images/avatars/21041.gif) |

There’s no cheap insults. You said that Woods would have gone elsewhere if he was any good. I said why he didn’t. They wanted £7m and dropped it to meet us halfway. We wouldn’t pay the extra £500k as we were convinced they’d drop further and because Clucas was being awkward. They didn’t. We ran out of time to get it done. Meanwhile we dropped £4m from our ask in one morning on Fernandez. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Don’t understand why this hasn’t been completed.The common view was that the delay was you getting your players out and money in.Ryan has been great for us but in the 12 games he never played in we won 10 and drew 2 so he’s hardly irreplaceable.We have a good coaching set up and get the best out of players most of the time.Look at Jota at Birmingham Hogan at Villa their fans creamed themselves when they signed not long after they were crying they had been conned. Very surprised no other clubs came in for him must say something but no way were we taking the piss with the asking price and lm happy he’s staying | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

We's agreed a fee and Brentford upped the asking price. I think we've done the right thing. And, don't be surprised if we get him on loan in a week or two. | ![](/images/avatars/23858.gif) |

Ryan Woods on 16:44 - Aug 9 with 3007 views | omarjack | It'd be hilarious to sell Clucas, only to fail to land Woods. But you know..before we all implode..There is still time..we have 3 weeks to get it done. If Brentford would loan him to us with obligation to buy in winter that is. | ![](/images/avatars/23803.gif) |

WTF are you talking about? You said why he wouldn't have gone anywhere else?? Because he's had a life long yearning to come to us, is it? Get a grip, if any serious offers came in from clubs worth their salt he'd be gone there. But there were none. Now they're left with perhaps an unhappy player who thought he was off as they stuck another million on top. All day we're hearing the Club is weak because we've let players go but when we stand up for ourselves we moan as well. And Brentford can afford to up the asking price it seems and we couldn't afford to keep Fede here, so the money coming in was needed. You can't go plugging your 50m with emotional rants and demands, we've got a club to keep afloat. Is this deal now dead as to me it makes sense to do business as a loan instead, with an up front loan fee of 6m and 500k if we reach the play offs or something. | ![](/images/avatars/21041.gif) |

No. We had an agreement in place that he wanted to be part of and there was no indication it wouldn’t happen. No one upped their price at the last minute. We were a million apart. They dropped to half of that. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

So Woods wasn't going to entertain going anywhere else then, yeah, no matter who came in for him? Who are you blaming for this? Clearly it's the Americans in your eyes as they call the shots on final cash decisions? It's saying we ran out of time, but you're saying we wouldn't spend the extra, that right? Did Brentford want all the money up front? | ![](/images/avatars/21041.gif) |
