Keith Andrews has much satisfy him after a great opening day for the Bees
It is not his way to shout it from the rooftops but it was clear Keith Andrews was more than a bit pleased with the hugely impressive competitive debut from his new star signing.
Mamadou Sangare already looks a perfect fit for the Brentford midfield and claimed an assist to set his new team on their way to a [pulsating 3-0 win over an abject Spurs team](https://www.capitalfootball.co.uk/single-post/sangare-shines-as-brentford-s-superior-togetherness-gives-new-look-spurs-a-humbling-run-around) who looked disjointed and bereft of spirit.
The Bees boss, when asked what he expects from the 24-year-old £39m summer buy from Lille, said simply: "More of the same hopefully."
Andrews continued: "It's been really nice working with him. I think the club deserves a lot of credit for getting that deal done. A lot of clubs I'm sure were looking at Mamadou and we were pretty keen to get that deal done and I think you've seen today what he's capable of - the attributes that he has.
"He adds to an already talented midfield. That's probably a position that we've needed to add to for the strength in depth that we need for the long season that we're going to have. I really enjoyed his performance today.
"His first game was behind closed doors, then we played Rennes a couple of weeks ago and I thought it just felt really good - the cohesion, the intensity of the way we train is high so you're always looking at new signings to see how they adapt coming from a different club, even though on paper it should suit his style of play, but he's slotted in really, really well.
"You never truly know with a different different league, a different language, even though his English is pretty impeccable. He's just a humble young man that's very very hungry."
Asked about further signings in the window, apart from his new Malian star, Andrews said: ""I have to say I'm very content with the squad depth. Right now it's as good as it's been - you could see that with the subs we brought on today - the energy and quality that we can bring onto the pitch.
"The starting line-up will obviously change as the season goes on so that depth is important. So if the window closes tomorrow, I'd be very happy.
"Compared to last season, this pre-season flowed a lot easier. There's areal trust about what we've built and added into the mix. We've taken decent strides and we want to take more."
Looking back on a scintillating start to the season at the Gtech, Andrews said: "You never truly know from pre-season what exactly you are going to get because the intensity of the Premier League is very different from most friendlies.
"It felt like we were in a good spot. The cohesion of the team has come together nicely over the last two to three weeks and I think we've produced a pretty good performance today."
