Listening to the E and S podcast today, Matt Wilson seemed a bit underwhelmed by the idea of getting Sawyers. He said he thinks he is a good mid table championship player but has his doubts that he is a top championship player.
I tend to agree, as Brentford have sold a number of good players the last few years, and yet never seem to get into the playoffs. If Sawyers has been a constant, it makes me think that MIGHT be his ceiling.
My personal choice would be to look abroad for a player in that mould, I still don't believe we are exploiting the options available abroad.
