Perhaps one of our Danish supporters will tell us how to pronounce his surname (Damsgore?).

Thats pretty accurate, maybe just Damsgor. Its hard to englify it.

 

[sonofabee]

Well we know he won't be a c**k like Maddison is so better in that respect already.

No dickhead rule I trust means he’s not.

Wow, this is a really special signing.

I remember thinking at the time when he was scoring in the Euros it would be a dream to sign him..................... To see it actually happen is just madness.

Well done PG.

Get our two defenders fit and we will really tear it up this season.

 

[Muzo]

He is such a humble guy. Definitely passing the no d h-test. Probably one of the best club interviews I have seen so far. It almost radiates how well he fits the team.

 

[gbems92]

Would be great if he can play on the weekend. Ineffective eriksen hooked at half time and damsgaard to come on and score a brace to make it 8-0.

 

[Muzo]

Has his shirt no. been announced?

 

[Poolieboydave]

Not one mention of Eriksen during the interview (just a hint about a difficult situation for the Danish team at the Euros) which gets the thumbs up from me!! Shows there potentially is some bad blood from the bees about the manner of his departure.

Was it entirely a coincidence that his first interview was conducted in exactly the same place and set up as Eriksen's? I know the changing room might seem an obvious location for it but not many of the other newbies introductory interviews have been done in there.

The Danish national team coach calls him Damsinho, guess it’s a wordplay on Robinho.

I would hope it’s Ronaldinho, rather than Robinho..

 

[horshambees]

Great signing.
Fantastic.

 

[tivadvir]

It’s taken me this long to calm down, but what a bloody massive deal this is!

I’m not a 20-year+ supporter like most of you, but even in the decade I’ve been here this is an absolute dream signing. ?

Why would there be bad blood? TF certainly doesn't seem to think so. Eriksen said that he had "spoken to most of the them" (Brentford players) after he left so they all seem to get along.
Probably more to do with the Damsgaard/Eriksen comparison. The club do not want to feed that horse - and rightly so.

Tbh, the way things turned out, I don't think anybody can complain. Eriksen got his move to a big club and we got one hell of a talent instead. It's all good.

Because he didn’t inform them of his desire to sign for Man Utd. PG confirmed this recently that the first they knew was when it leaked in the media.

 

[EarleyBee]

That doesn’t seem a lot for a good top flight player of his age, but maybe the market is different in Italy.

Its maybe worth considering that Sampdoria apparently paid €6.7m for him two years ago (according to Wikipedia), so its not like they had €20m-€25m that they wanted to recoup. They still made a tidy profit?

 

[EarleyBee]

Because he didn’t inform them of his desire to sign for Man Utd. PG confirmed this recently that the first they knew was when it leaked in the media.

Listening to Phil Giles recent transfer interview i would have said he made it more than clear that he felt both parties benefitted equally from Eriksen's time at the club and there wasn't any bad blood.

 

[Alex]

Because he didn’t inform them of his desire to sign for Man Utd. PG confirmed this recently that the first they knew was when it leaked in the media.

He had already informed him he was most likely not signing for Brentford, what more did he need to do? He was also in touch with TF so just because PG didnt know doesn't mean Thomas didn't.

 

[IzakAndrews]

This is possibly the most excited i have ever been for a signing! I still can't quite believe signings such as this which even 3 or 4 years ago would have been unthinkable for us. What a club, happy wednesday! ?

inho means little

 

[MadsMadsMads]

Which was before he signed any contract with United. He had to make a decision before he could inform any of his decision, right? TF said that Eriksen called him and told him about his decision. He did as promised. Look, I wanted him to stay as well, but now we have a young talent instead. Lets just celebrate

Paaaarty!! ?

 

[Invipai]

Because he didn’t inform them of his desire to sign for Man Utd. PG confirmed this recently that the first they knew was when it leaked in the media.

Phil also said that it wouldn't have made too much sense for him to say to us 'I may sign for them, I have an offer but I don't know yet'. It leaked before it was confirmed in any real way. Phil was happy with it all.

Besides, at the time we said the signing may have opened up future opportunities for the club, and that may well have just materialised itself today. I have little doubt that our positive treatment and reintegration of Eriksen made us appeal to Damsgaard, as well as making us better known to future players.

Sure, but we sold several players for larger fees when we were in the Championship.

I guess there are reasons, maybe Sampdoria needed the money, maybe other clubs didn’t want to take on a player with his medical history. Hopefully it’s bargain of the century.

I'm sure there is an element of risk, but we wouldn't be in the reckoning if they were asking for €50m.

Fair enough, Banana went mad when it all kicked off so I used that as my barometer, but either way agree, this signing is amazing

When was this please?

Exactly. Any suggestion otherwise is wide of the mark.

Ha, my bad, I thought you were the GPG twitter feed as well which I thought, but CBA to check, went crazy post the decision. Anyway old news

I am. But just wondering....

Posted by me on the other Damsgaard thread:



Line up here wasters…

 

[Ken_Hom's_Wok]

Just wish we’d followed Rotherham’s lead back in 2014 and signed these stars instead

 

[Mr Cynical]

This is an absolutely incredible signing.. Great to see TF sees him in the no.8 role as that's where we've needed that extra bit of quality on the ball. He'll provide that in spades! To think he's still only 22 as well? Nuts. ?

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Thomas was very canny with the five subs in the pandemic. He was excellent on Sunday. Lessons to be learned from Sabrina Wiegman too! We could have a killer mini squad of “finishers”.

I didn’t actually type “Sabrina”, by the way. These phones are really annoying.

 

[DanishPlastic]

ˈtɑmsˌkɒˀ DamsGawrd lol. That's the best I can do. The Å sound is pretty unique. It's pronounced like the aw in thaw but in this case slightly longer.

Exactly like Dalsgaard. Gaard is btw the old fashioned way of spelling gård which means farm

Because he didn’t inform them of his desire to sign for Man Utd. PG confirmed this recently that the first they knew was when it leaked in the media.

TF said he really hopes he won't get booed because he played an important part last season

 

[FJBee]

Has his shirt no. been announced?

Was gonna say, will be interesting to see what number he gets.

If it’s not the #9, would suggest that’s still being held for another forward to come in.

 

[EGHAM_BEE]

Great signing, he really caught my eye in the Eusros. Could be a huge signing for my Fantasy Football next week away to Fulham .

 

[BeesManMax]

I can’t wait for Saturday!!!!!!

 

[Adam]

Sounds like he is ready to play 90 mins from the get go. Saw a few suggest he wouldn’t be starting games until January

There is a general misconception that he isn't past his injury. He is though. Don't think he will start next game, but I have a feeling that he will be on the bench ready to rock.

Agree. If he doesn't get minutes, it's due to him not being familiar with the team, not injury concerns

I like the fact we only sign a few players and try to keep the core from previous seasons.
A lot of clubs do an overhaul that is disruptive in theory.
I know we still have just short of 3 weeks to go, but when was the last time we sold a "regular" first team player? Dalsgaard? Marcondes? Both were out of contract though. I've left Eriksen out of this I know.

 

[Andy_Mc_is_God]

Great signing.
Fantastic.

Unbelievable close season.
Three more young, quick and clever players.
Can’t wait to see us in full-flow.
It’s going to be like watching a load of exciting puppies running round a field chasing a super ball ?
Someone is going to get a real tonking ???

 

[Andy_Mc_is_God]

Looks like Graham Bensteads old shirt.

Welcome to the club Mikkel.

Well remembered ISB ?

If you're excluding all of those players, and Forss, then surely it's Benrahma, October 2020. We didn't sell key players upon promotion and in 2020 there were two important players available (him and Watkins).

I did exclude forss, purely because last couple seasons he was more of a sub player and ended up on loan last year.
But yeah, Benrahma was last sold first team regular/starter.

Which again has subtle Danish ties. The same jersey was made iconic by Peter Schmeichel in Denmarks tournament win at the 1992 EURO's. Hummel is also a Danish sport brand btw.

Pronounced Damsgor'. Nickname Damsinho but mostly called Dams
