Mathias Jensen

[Les Beeavinu]

My thoughts exactly.

Is he out of contract this summer?

I wonder if he wasnt pushing because the start of the season his game time was up in the air etc.

Yes but we have a 1 year option.

 

[BuzzingBee95]

it might be that, whereas VJ is playing his best footy with contract situation resolved, MJ might be flourishing partly because he’s put that to one side. Either because he’s confident we’ll take year option or simply because he’s happy just concentrating on the football for now

 

[Sunbury Bee]

The silence suggests to me that he's not pushing for one.

Was there any noise for Ajer or VJ before their new contracts?

 

[Ashford Bees]

I loved the Matty / Mikkel line up at Everton. But who get's dropped to accommodate them. We have a riches of talent that is screaming for European football.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Exquisitely weighted pass for the winner, deftly into the path of Dango’s left foot. Many players would have been bringing that down to play off the floor, but Jensen knew the moment would be gone.

 

[Dynamite]

He did at least two nutmegs in the Newcastle game. Anyone knowing the stand of the League of nutmegs at the moment?

It’s just routine isn’t it? So good he’s able to stroll round them easily and emerge unchallenged the other side. Total p1ss take.

 

[ruislip bee]

Jensen is the silky technician it felt like we would never have in the League 1 and 2 days.

We almost take him for granted now as he's been here so long but cast your mind back to the Fullerton days and just remind yourself how lucky we are.

He can't wave his arms like Fullerton though........

 

[Untouchable]

cast your mind back to the Fullerton days

I can still remember his horror tackle at Swindon.

 

[Col T]

He can't wave his arms like Fullerton though........

Don't forget the pointing and clapping!...
and the ill judged two footed lunge

 

[nick logan]

He’s so good

 

[Mr Tree]

Divine pass for the winner. Didn't have his shooting boots on but encouraging that he got into at least 4 situations with at least a decent half-chance. Good to see him back after last year's injury-affected season.

 

[alikat]

He can't wave his arms like Fullerton though........

He probably could if he tried harder....

 

[Garybaldbee]

He’s so good

I'm surprised he seems to have dropped out of contention for the Danish national team. I don't know who he is in competition with (apart from Damsgaard obviously) but they can't have many players performing at a higher level than Jensen right now.

The reason is that at the time of the last matches Mikkel was playing regularly and Matty wasn't. That has changes and I'm sure he will be back in the national team for the next games.

 

[JFisher97]

So good again. Captains role is really suiting him. Praying for new contracts for him and Rico soon. An absolute pleasure to watch him and Vitaly every week dominate premier league midfields

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Absolutely brilliant. I genuinely wouldn't swap him for Damsgaard at the moment and that's saying something.

 

[CTBee]

Remember when people said he was going back to play in the Danish league

 

[djheavens]

A hugely understated player by many. Always been such a huge talent who has now added consistency

 

[graham ball]

He’s top quality now . Hope we can extend his contract

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

MJ has show his ability consistently this season. The difference is the consistency and like Janelt, you wouldn't replace him for 30+ million.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

New contract please Phil.

Get it sorted.

 

[Mick.C]

Playing probably the best football of his career consistently.
This season the renaissance of Jensen, Ajer and Janelt proves the professionalism and change in approach can bring the best out of players we have seen play 100 plus games in the PL to even greater levels.
Consummate professional and now captain.
Having the season of his life, as our we.

 

[Ghost]

Of the two Danish midfielders who joined at the same time, I would not have had Matty still dominating and Norgaard getting splinters at another club. Funny old world.

Yes there is something going on to elevate the performance levels of these guys. Fantastic and amazing

 

[Ghost]

THAT pass for Watkins in the play offs is still one of the best passes I’ve ever seen.

 

[Somerset Bee]

Remember when people said he was going back to play in the Danish league

Not too hard to remember - it was about 6 weeks ago!

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Haven't heard anything about club plans next season yet. No new contract so I guess it remains to be seen whether we take up the option but try to move on.

 

[TadB]

Haven't heard anything about club plans next season yet. No new contract so I guess it remains to be seen whether we take up the option but try to move on.

If he does not sign an extended his contract then surely the club exercise the option, and sell him this summer. I cannot see us exercising the option only to allow him to move for free in 2027.

 

[Bumbling fool]

As good as he's been and as keen as I am for him to sign a new summer, it shows how good the succession planning is that the worst case scenario is he goes and we have to play our best player last season and purported top earner at the club Mikkel Damsgaard, who is 4 years younger and probably has a higher ceiling. Oh however will we cope! And then even he's got Carvalho and Milambo behind him

 

[Fat Bee Slim]

I absolutely love Matti. I sincerely hope his signing a new contract is the next piece of business announced by the club.

 

[cliffbee]

He chose the splinters. Wanted money and trophies more than a family atmosphere and captaining a team every week. Choices.

I'm sure MJ would have come to exactly the same decision had he been given the choice......

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

I know what I would have done, approaching the end of my career, bringing up a young family… ££££

 

[Kingston Bee]

He is sublime atm, almost gone unnoticed in the football world. Jensen has proved people wrong all the time he has been here coming back when written off. KA has to take a lot of credit for this, and alongside Ajer and Janelt are proving that with the right coaching anything is possible. Imo KA is an upgrade on Thomas and i dont say that lightly.

 

[upnorthbee]

I'm almost glad he is 30 and playing like this, there's no resell value so we can enjoy him for a few more years I hope!

 

[Newport Pagnell Bee]

He chose the splinters. Wanted money and trophies more than a family atmosphere and captaining a team every week. Choices.

And also ensuring that his young family are set for life. A major reason why most of us go out to work each and every day. He's a smart lad is Christian.
Anyway, what a player Jensen is.

 

[TorbayBee]

He has bulked up for sure , now much more physically resilient. I think Dams might be put through the same process. I really hope he signs a contract extension. Rico, Matti, Vitaly and Ethan still speak of our Championship days which is great

 

[brentford born & bred]

For the vast majority of us we have no idea what conversations / negotiations are currently taking place and a new contract could be imminent. But I wonder at Mattie's age, with maybe 3 or 4 years left in him at the very top level, if playing in a European cup competition is part of his decision making? If that is the case he may have asked negotiations to be parked to see if we qualify, if not pastures new may beckon.

 

[teesbee]

Seems to have added steel to the silk, there was a moment where he shoved two Arsenal players in quick succession that made me smile. Also working unbelievably hard, he is everywhere.

 

[Sunbury Bee]

I think we should all thank @Voice from the Braemar for his fine form thanks to his inspired pep talks to him!

 

[Miss Isabella]

If he does not sign an extended his contract then surely the club exercise the option, and sell him this summer. I cannot see us exercising the option only to allow him to move for free in 2027.

Maybe there is an agreement to extend the option & let him return to Denmark for free when his contract ends.

 

[CTBee]

Haven't heard anything about club plans next season yet. No new contract so I guess it remains to be seen whether we take up the option but try to move on.

He may go in the summer (I hope he doesn't) but it definitely won't be to go and retire quietly in the Danish as some have suggested. He's far too good for that and still in his prime, he's not Zanka.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

He may go in the summer (I hope he doesn't) but it definitely won't be to go and retire quietly in the Danish as some have suggested. He's far too good for that and still in his prime, he's not Zanka.

FC Kopenhagen have qualified for Europe pretty much every season this century, regularly the Champions League. They play in a stadium with a capacity over 40,000 in a beautiful city. Zanka wouldn't get in their side, Jensen would.

 

[jlove]

He’s become a valuable member of the first team squad, validated by Keith giving him the armband in Collins’ absence, on top of being a major contributor to our style of play this season; he was never as bad as the vocal minority would’ve had us believe. The Club will not wish to lose him, especially as we continue to bring younger players through, so I’m sure there will have been and will continue to be conversations on his future, mainly to understand what he wants for the next (probably last) career move.

 

[BuzzingBee95]

This isn’t a direct response to you, but more to those who now we’re flying are taking the chance to have a ‘pop’ at former players and a manager who did wonders for us. Fickle comes to mind.

Christian played nearly 200 games for us, got promoted with us, scored in our first Premier league game

The same with TF, can we please stop making out that they ‘jumped ship’ as though we were a mere stepping stone. ‘The grass is greener’ c**p.

Nearly every player would take that choice. Presumably If in a couple of years Yarmo is the superstar we see, and Madrid come calling, he’ll get the same treatment if he made that choice too right?

Can we please enjoy our success without the gloating. Just as they have a choice, so do we when it comes to how we remember those who played their hearts out for us

 

[JANORAK]

As good as he's been and as keen as I am for him to sign a new summer, it shows how good the succession planning is that the worst case scenario is he goes and we have to play our best player last season and purported top earner at the club Mikkel Damsgaard, who is 4 years younger and probably has a higher ceiling. Oh however will we cope! And then even he's got Carvalho and Milambo behind him

A reminder that if AM and FC didn’t have major injuries, then Matthi’s minutes would have been less, purely due to rotation through the season. The fickleness of football, eh? There’s many a mention of him needing a couple of games to get back up to speed after an absence. That hasn’t been needed when he’s playing in most of the games, anyway. The season is going rather well for him, personally.
Let’s be greedy, and see a few goals from him to truly make it a season to remember!

 

[cliffbee]

I'm sure MJ would have come to exactly the same decision had he been given the choice......

Maybe. Not everyone would though.

Copenhagen is one of my favourite cities and I really like the attitude and humour of Danes. I feel like they're the continental cousins of the British. If I had to live abroad, I'd probably choose there... or Australia if the weather comes into it more.
