Perhaps a ED could enlighten me on a transfer fee? We are reportedly paying £28 mill for a player rising to £33 million with Exeter reportedly getting £4 mill. Is this why the fee is so high and Brentford held out to get let's say £24 mill for him or will Exeter get that money over a certain time scale?

{Ed002's Note - Exeter will recieve 15% of the fee that Aston Villa pay Brentford. It typically works on the basis of 15% of each installment paid by Aston Villa is passed on to Exeter by Brentford.}

Cheers Ed. To be fair to Brentford they held out for the best possible deal for themselves which you can't blame them. To be honest I think overall this could be a very astute signing for us but only time will tell.

{Ed002's Note - I think it will be a very good signing.}

When you consider we paid 18 mill for Bent 6 years ago i think this isn't too bad.

He scores more than 1 in 2 in the championship. i think linking up with Grealish he could be extremely prolific. I would try and sign benrahma no if i was Smith. Having someone who he plays well with and with the skill quality of benhrama i think we will be knocking on top 10 door providing we can get a keeper in and we survive injuries.
