Just wondered what his pedigree was. Maybe he is too good to miss on loan even though RWB is not a priority.

No chance of a permanent if that's what you were hoping!
I sometimes wonder if we buy them as a gamble because they were brilliant youth players ..Kastaneer and Hilssner or Norwich or Wolves recommended Jobello?Not sure
Apart from Hamer the players we brought in from Europe haven't made a positive impact
I suspect Robins would like to farm them out but it might be easier said than done
Yeah part of it they would be on the radar for years. Kastaneer represented Holland U19-U21 and Hilssner Germany U16-U19I sometimes wonder if we buy them as a gamble because they were brilliant youth players ..Kastaneer and Hilssner or Norwich or Wolves recommended Jobello?

The crossing lady outside the local school?Someone in the know down the road
Have to agree his 20 minutes at Portsmouth and first half at Bristol Rovers I thought we’ve got a player here....but then what happened.Agree. It's not like they don't have some pedigree. It's always difficult to know how it's going to transfer to a new country, new culture, different tactics, styles of play etc. Hell, a lot of domestic transfers that look great on paper don't work out before any of that is taken into account. With a foreign transfer you can do all your due diligence but there's always these intangibles.
Kastaneer is infuriating, I think most of us can see he has most of the attributes to be a real asset if he had the mentality & desire.
All 4 of the European freebies have been tripe. We should abandon the strategy and ask big questions of the guy that formulated it.Have to agree his 20 minutes at Portsmouth and first half at Bristol Rovers I thought we’ve got a player here....but then what happened.
Is Da Costa a Muslim? His name is surely a Christian name!
Everyone else praying towards Mecca while he's praying towards Mecca Bingo.Given how poor his positioning is I wouldn't be surprised to see him carrying out the wrong religious ritual.
Not sure

In fairness to Hilsner don’t really know about him either way seemed to do okay at Oldham without setting the world alight and seemed to keep his fitness so let’s see what a pre-season brings.I would agree, the internationals brought in other than Hamer have hardly set the world alight. Jobello looked alright prior to his injury in League One but yeah never managed to make it back in the team so Robins clearly feels not good enough. Signs all these wingers but we don’t play with wingers

Reminds me of Kevin Malaga, on paper was supposed to be great but had no desire, lazy and just didn’t have that spark

Brentford scout in the French 2nd tier too , we're quite new to it so hopefully we get better at it as time goes by .
They are relatively low risk
There are clearly some gems there
Definitely but I wouldn’t say signing from abroad is low risk. To make it worthwhile for them to move usually get offered 3 year deals, Kastaneer will probably see his out here playing little football despite the club trying to move on. Hillsner is apparently a more sporting character
I believe we got recommended Malaga and Edjenguele by Newcastle scout Graham Carr
Apparently gone to Swindon as he would get more game time there
Agreed, but Dabo has been in the wars. As he wasn't guaranteed a start he went to Swindon where he will. Shame he is decentThere has been no suggestion we’ve been in the market for a right back?
