Rumour - Scott Hogan

[RoyalBlue]

Hogan's contact still has another season to run after this so its not expiring

Anyway, i have a source close to Brentford who says that an £11m offer has been accepted in principle from a Premier League side

He won't come here

Speaking to a Brentford fan today, Brentford fans are reconciled to him leaving in January but are expecting £10-12M for him!

So 2018 then

Hogan sounds like he's holding out for a chance in the Premier League. His words, he doesn't want to be in the Championship long!

Watch him go to Villa for £9m then

Paper talk suggests West Brom are interested, but that could be his agent talking up a move for his client. Brentford to the Prem is a big step, he could perhaps do with a season or so at a better Championship club before testing himself at the top table. I can't see us having the money for him in any case.

[Hendo]

The Sun (yeah I know) reporting that we are going to bid £9m.......

[George_]

Alan Nixon who is normally pretty much spot on reporting it TBF. This could be a game changer and not just for this signing but for in the long run with future signings.

[TBM]

He's good but i'd much rather we spent £9m on 3 players, than just the one

[Pepe the Horseman]

Can't we get Shane Long back for £9m?

[maffff]

I.... er.... whaaaa

All I'll say on Hogan, is don't rule anything out - interest is there. Whether the money is, I guess we'll find out. #readingfc

[3points]

Going to Villa to replace Gestede, who's going to WBA for £7m (according to the Sun)

[genome]

As good as Hogan appears to be, I'm not sure I feel comfortable with this much money being thrown around straight away.

[One8Seven1*]

Sometimes the papers include wages and bonus' when they make these claims. If that's the case this time then I suppose it's plausible we're in for him at around £5m, £30k p/w wages, promotion bonus, staying up bonus, etc.. But otherwise it's just paper talk. They did the exact same thing with Andre Gray, and he went for a lot less.

[Hound]

Of course we'd like him, but I don't realistically think we'd spend that much money, or he'd be too keen on coming (unless this was part of a bigger - i.e. 25m - investment on players)

9m is probably about right in a world where Matej Vydra costs 8m. Clearly a good player, but the injury record is a worry

[Norfolk Royal]

If we had the money I think Hogan for £9-million at the moment is a no-brainer. If we don't go up and in the likely event of him playing well for us for the rest of the season we then flog him to a Premiership team and make a nice profit.

Lovely jubbly, everyone's happy.

Or he gets injured, again, and we sell him to Villa for £4m in 18 months' time.

I'm with Leon on this, this guy has injured the same knee twice and has less than 30 games at a level above League Two. Crazy to be talking about £9m as a 'no-brainer'.

Players may get injured yes, well spotted.

With the news that we have bid 9 million for Brentford striker Scott Hogan, I made this video showing all his goals for Brentford this season. Let me know your views on him as a player and our pursuit of him

Thanks.

Torn between thinking a player like Hogan is just what we need / £9 million obliterates anything we've come close to spending before
