Well, that escalated quickly. Losing Christian Nørgaard to Arsenal certainly felt like the end of an era for Brentford fans – one of the last remaining leaders from the squad that brought us up and kept us steady in the Premier League. Christian wasn’t flashy, but he was always reliable.
Sure, his legs didn’t quite have 90 minutes in them twice a week anymore, but when he played, he made us tick. Defensive intelligence, cool under pressure, one of Thomas Frank’s most trusted lieutenants.
So when word came on Friday morning that Jordan Henderson was set to replace him – on a free transfer, no less – our first reaction was: Seriously? But then, as the dust settled, the logic is clear. Maybe not the romance. Maybe with the Saudi flip-flopping fresh in our minds. But the logic.
Dave 'Laney' Lane and Matt 'The Allard' Allard rocked up to a pub in Marble Hill, with Billy The Bee chipping in from the virtual boozer to chew the fat on all things Bees in what is proving to be another eventful week.
As well as saying goodbye and than-you to Christian, we welcome Antoni Milambo from Feyenoord, plus the ongoing Bryan Mbuemo to Manchester United saga.. whilst Forest are supposedly sniffing around Wisa again but can't afford him.
Enjoy
