Children and teachers up and down the country return to school tomorrow after a relaxing six week break over the summer.
Sadly for the teams behind the scenes at our west London football clubs, the six weeks have been relentless as they were tasked with strengthening the playing squads.
But how would we grade the transfer activity done at Brentford this summer?
Major signings
Ollie Watkins (£1.8m)
Neal Maupay (£1.8m)
Henrik Dalsgaard (£1m)
Kamohelo Mokotjo (£900k)
Emiliano Marcondes (free transfer)
Luke Daniels (free transfer)
Major departures
Jota (£6m)
Maxime Colin (£3m)
Harlee Dean (£2m)
Philipp Hofmann (£675k)
Akaki Gogia (£675k)

Transfer activity grade: D
