Very sensible signing, can see him playing a big role. Can see both Bree & Suga going too if we sign Kabore too. Defence complete in that case!
Went out for dinner and came back and saw the news. Where did that come from?! Old school I like the signing too. Step up on Sugawara and Bree and a more physical profile
I’m shocked. Just had some friends round for dinner, sneaked on after clearing up and we’ve signed a Dane.
Making the assist for Brentford in their promotion to the Premier League. https://x.com/BrentfordHive/status/1958615151852335114 My friend whose a Brentford fan called him Mr Average. I take that to mean Mr Reliable. Likely to be one of those unspectacular, hard working players who everyone likes at the club that you only notice what they bring to the team when they're not playing.
Mads becomes the 7th Danish player to sign for Saints, although Michael Stensgaard (keeper), who was here between January and July 1999, never actually played a game. The others were, in reverse order: Albert Groenbaek Jannik Vestergaard Pierre-Emile Højbjerg Peter Madsen Ronnie Ekelund
A lot of thse were loans, does that count as signings? I suppose some loans have actually played more games/had more impact than a lot of our permanent signings, so yes they would count! On the theme of Mads, got a shock googling Peter Madsen (that some messed up Capt'n Nemo ****)
If he's been dependable/consistent/average in the PL then he should be more than good enough in the Championship this season, and hopefully if we can get promoted, he'll be good enough to help us stay there too. Really does seem like a very sensible signing. I note that Solak had said in early summer that we would be making 3 signings, (CB, ST and AM) without the need for any outgoings (okay we still haven't got the AM in, but are clearly trying to and would have by now if it weren't for trying to deal with Russia) and RB was not one of those, so good to see too that they can be flexible and bring someone in in a position that Still clearly wanted. Be interesting to see how close to an exit Sugawara is.
Not so interesting fact. Scooby Doo is American, but I work solely with US people, and when I said the other day, "Oh I haven't got a Scooby about that", no one understood what I meant.
I've worked with americans in offices and on sites around the world there's often been a bit of banter from them bordering on hazing occasionally. They eased off after they understood why I called them septics.
