Do we think Brentford have moved on and are exploring other options for now? It's been very quiet this week. |  | | |  |

Sounds like they haven’t made an acceptable offer and he’s our player. They might be waiting and hopeful Omari gets unsettled and that forces us to be more amenable to their offer but they’ll surely only wait so long. |  | | |

Hearing Brentford fans are wetting the bed about the lack of signings and doubting the project - some are even lamenting the signings by QPR and wondering why their management team didnt look at them. They wanted to extend 35 year old Ben Mee's contract as he was the heartbeat of the side but the powers that be decided it wasnt economically viable | | | |

Once Mbuemo went, it felt like they were going to keep their foot on the pedal and try and push a deal through for him. But that obviously hasn't happened yet. | | | |

I doubt it, but still think their behaviour over the release clause was really odd. Sounded to me like they were pretty reluctant to go to £35m, but now having gone that high and not triggered the clause, they're sort of stuck having to go higher. |  |

I thought the same to be honest but it does feel like there is some impasse to getting it done.
They might feel £35m was the very top end of what they were prepared to pay and they could get better value elsewhere? | | | |

Why so quiet this week then? Not going to be amazingly surprised if you’re right but if everything is agreed then you’d feel that more would have come out and if it isn’t then he’s our player until that changes. | | | |

I think they possibly are as don’t really want to pay the £35 let alone £40 (from what I gather from some of their fans) and the payment plan wasn’t what we wanted and do they want to change that? | | | |

I think it's 95% probability he goes to Brentford or elsewhere. It's not just his desire, it's part of our model that if relegated we had bought players who would make a higher return to cover the costs of what we spent and relegation. Obviously different had we stayed up. | |

As I said at the time, I'm convinced that their behaviour with the clause was designed to try and unsettle Omari, and they're now waiting to see if their bid will have the desired effect. | |

Can't see it's a very good play to achieve that. If they didn't think him worth £35m and wanted to unsettle him they should have just ignored the clause and gone to work on his agent, made lower bids after the clause expired and put pressure on us that way.
Because there's no way you offer £35m for a player on a long contract and then the selling club subsequently accepts less. You drop your offer after a rejection it doesn't matter how disgruntled the player is, the selling club will tell you to do one as a matter of principle. | |

I really hope we hold firm for more than £35 million. If Brentford really want him, they'll pay it. They've just made a packet with the Mbeumo sale. If they won't pay what we want, then we keep him and, as others have said, there's a good chance his value will increase in January or next summer.
That said, I'd love it if we keep him, at least for the forthcoming season. | | | |

With the hope that we ultimately sell for less than the release clause, or that we accede to Brentford's original payment schedule offer?
I see no prospect of us settling for less than the £35m initially offered by Brentford, which was the release sum, so the only possible advantage to trying to unsettle him (to my mind) is if we do end up compromising on the payment plan. [Post edited 25 Jul 18:07]

I think Brentford might be watching what is happening to Wissa as well and biding time on Omari as they probably don't think anyone else coming in for him so they can wait. I wish another time would come in and have a mini price war to make sure we get £35M+ for him.
We can play hardball if we don't get at least the terms of the release clause if we want, but having a player that doesn't/may not want to be here is of no use to us or the dressing room. | | | |
