Henrik Dalsgaard (Released)

[ianbee]

That made me laugh ?

 

[shouldbee]

Yes and time will tell if we're right

Same goes for every player we sign ?

 

[WARFIELD BEE]

I think our data machine must be broken. Surely he's much too tall and old! Welcome on board sir and hope you don't get a crick in your neck talking with your new colleagues.

At least he is someone to look up to.

 

[JANORAK]

Wecome, Henrik.

Remarking on his age, anyone would think he's 38, not nearly 28! Signed from Belgium & we seem to be developing a taste for players from the Low Countries...

 

[Nige150]

We do need some extra height at the back - as long as this chap is speedy too as a wing back. Would be gutted if MC goes, though - a class player

5 goals and 1 assist last season...

worth noting that he began his professional career as a striker so there's a bit of flexibility there too. No idea if he was able to hit a barn door with a banjo but a 6' 4'' option in the oppo box if we are chasing a game can't be bad.

6ft 4in option in our box defending set pieces isn't bad either. I think he could be a very shrewd signing, he doesn't mind a tackle so isn't likely to be out muscled or bullied too often. We've lacked physicality and always look a little side that while not necessarily a disadvantage would I imagine give bigger, more physical sides confidence that they are capable of battling and stopping us playing.

Definitely. We did seem to get caught out on the far post a bit often. I've always felt [ but it's bleedin' obvious] that we can't make a serious push if we concede 60+ goals. IMO we need to do a lot on how we attack and defend as a unit as DS has said in his interview. Sometimes our mid is deserted when we lose possession and are counter attacked.

Just to point out that players can still have a resale value even over the age of 30. Birmingham just paid £2m for Craig Gardner.

Especially if they have a release clause in their contract and excel in their first year or two. I would be surprised if he comes in, wows everyone, and gets sold for £3.5m to a bigger club.

Pleased to see Dean Smith is confident about this one.

I see what you did there, like it.

If anyone can, bae can.

 

[newbee01]

Welcome Henrik!

Let's hope he is the missing cog in our push for Promotion!

 

[andyrew]

All future references to HD will need clarification unless this summer's transfer activity dictates otherwise

Dad joke.

 

[Lee The Bee]

Just watched a few of his goals, he's certainly not afraid of a shot from outside the box!

Really? That sounds good. Even better than, say, Toumani?

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Would I be correct in thinking you're slightly taking the piss out of Toumani here. Unfair - who can ever forget this cracker against Sheffield United?

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

He scored many fine goals...



... fortunately evidence of less successful attempts has been expunged from the internet by Toumani's management team.

Enough digression.... where are the moderators?

 

[Ghost]

According to my OB supporting relative here, if you count Dalsgård as 'one of us', then Brentford are the club with the most representatives in the current Denmark National Team.
Have we ever attained that level in an international side before?
It is interesting to see Dalsgård listed under 'Forwards' on the official DBU site.

I doubt it, but how about in the 1930s?

I thought we had, The Hoff!

 

[kevalutonbee]

We have the option, just never use it

 

[wanderer paul]

Not in the same XI. Two for Wales... Hopkins and Richards. Two for Scotland, McKenzie and Reid. Never three, I think that's it. :shrug:

Fair enough - thanks.

He began his career as one, but began to be moved back after a couple of years as a professional.

What about Dave Mc Culloch wasn't he in the same Scotland team as the other 2 ?

 

[wanderer paul]

Don't think all three played together. McKenzie only had one cap for Scotland. Reid and McCulloch maybe, but I haven't checked.

Currently 51st in FIFA rankings. Lower than I would have expected.

Says we are gojng to play 442!

 

[Boston Bee]

Holding midfield option in front of the back 4? Part of a back 3 (it's all the rage these days)?

[Oceanbee]

He's on for Denmark in the World Cup game v Kazakhstan.

 

[wanderer paul]

Excellent. Another capped Bee!!

 

[Humblebee]

Our other two Danes were on the subs bench, but at least they didn't get injured.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

He will definitely be the aerial outlet for Bentley. Currently, we basically surrender possession every time Dan has to punt the ball aerially, whether from goal kicks or open play. Dalsgaard will give us the chance of competing for the ball, a bit like Button used to aim for Bidwell.

Most teams lose possession most of the time when the goal keeper "Has to punt the ball aerially" hence the reason why most decent footballing teams attempt to play as we do.

Absolutely, but not always possible. Most games Bentley has to punt on probably 5 or 6 occasions minimum, probably more, especially against pressing teams, which is increasingly the favoured style when playing against Brentford.

 

[Bungy Bee]

I bet after his first game..somebody will say he's *****....lol...You Reds...

More than Button, but punts are getting less and less. He is improving all the time and he may yet play in the Premiership.

 

[TadB]

He probably is.

 

[banburybee]

He probably is.

???

that's the spirit

100% lol sad but true

 

[Bungy Bee]

Some people said the same about Hoff....nothing like supporting the team guys......You Reds...
