Joe Wright has said yes to Bristol City
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Brentford have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Crystal Palace tell Brentford: Patrick Agyemang is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Cardiff City come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Brentford did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Josh Vickers asks to leave Brentford
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Eyes on Julian Eyestone again
The phone has started ringing about Julian Eyestone again, and this time the name on the line is Lincoln City. Brentford are listening politely and promising nothing.

Time is catching up with Emiliano Buendía
Everybody at Brentford saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 33 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.
In brief
- The dugout Antoni Milambo asks for a word with the manager
- Squad Peter Davis stays put
- Boardroom $3.9M lands at Brentford thanks to Fábio Carvalho
