Watching him now against Fulham in the final.

Not something I'm impressed with.

Agreed, I'm well and truly unimpressed. His quality really drops off against Championship opposition that play at the top end of the table. Sky commented about his poor defensive workrate and how easily Fulham are passing through him. His final ball today has been poor too. Talented but so many flaws. If results don't go our way next season he won't be popular if he underperforms.

Maybe we should re-sign Michael Hector at centre back LOL ... he seems to be keeping the feted Brentford front line very quiet tonight !

Well that is debatable. When they played Fulham at Craven Cottage, Brentford won 2-0. He made the difference with a goal and assist. He has had many top performances against the better teams in the league. He scored against the likes of Leeds, Swansea, Derby. So far this evening he has been below par but I disagree that he drops off against Championship opposition because like I say he has had games against the better teams in the league and been the standout player.

 
Been Brentfords best player in the 2nd half by a country mile.

I wouldn't say one successful take on qualifies him as their best player but fair enough. He's lost possession a few times in the second half, I just worry what that means for our defence next season.

For me not their best player but to give him his due Brentford look more solid since he moved to the left flank. Hopefully if we sign him that's where he plays because he's been a liability in the centre.

Missed the first half, but does he normally play Centrally for Brentford or on the left? 

 
He has impressed for Brentford this season but in the Championship. If Brentford get promoted it will be interesting to see how the likes of him and Watkins fare in the top flight. It would be a risk to invest big money in him at this stage I think. Especially when we have other positions that need addressing more urgently.

From what I've seen of him recently he plays on the left but has a tendency to drift into the centre to allow the fullbacks to overlap and provide the width. He's a good player don't get me wrong just not top four material for me - there's just too many flaws in his game.

Must be an upgrade on Willian and CHO though?

 
Thought he was poor tonight. Based on the hype expected a bit more.

If anyone looked interesting then it was Cairney.

For me not an upgrade - decent backup for Pulisic maybe but it's a stretch. I won't be disappointed if we sign him I'd just have Grealish over him any day of the week. Proven quality in the Premier League is hard to come by.
