Brentford boss eyes more signings

Brentford

Brentford manager Andy Scott says he is delighted with his seven summer signings but hopes to bring in more players before the start of the season.

The Bees boss told BBC London 94.9: "We still need a couple more bodies, maybe two or three.

"Hopefully they'll be the right types again. I don't want to change the dynamics of the squad.

"I've been absolutely delighted with what we've got so far. Bringing one person in can change all that."

Who else should Brentford be scouting and signing?
Scott added: "I'm not going to panic. I've got targets in sight and we've been working very very hard. Not just in the last month, but the last three or four months on several targets. "They take time but if you persevere with it hopefully they come off and I think the ones I'm speaking to at the moment are the right types.

"If we can get them that will be great if we can't then there's others on the list as well, but I'm not prepared to bring players in that are going to be here for six months and then go away. I want players that are here for the long term.

"I want players that are going to grow with the team and the club and get us into League One and push on from there."

Scott joined Brentford as caretaker-manager in December last year and was appointed manager in January 2008.

He says he is pleased with the squad and what he has seen of the new recruits during the start of pre-season training.

"I was pretty confident they'd fit in well because I did my homework with them, made sure I bought the right personalities and the right players and if anything I've been quite surprised at how good the players I've got in are, both professionally and football-wise.

"They're showing all the right signs so far that they're going to be excellent signings and for me I'm delighted with that.

They've fitted in very very well with the other lads and if we can improve ourselves and make sure that we push each other along then we're all going to improve together, that's what I want from my group of players.

"I don't want them to be stagnant and stay where they are we all want to improve, we all want to do better, we all want to play at high levels and manage at high levels and if we can do that as a group that's going to be great."
