Two and two together and potentially getting four, potentially getting five.

You genuinely don’t know.

I don’t see Rasmus being near this, he’s had little do to with incoming in recent times.

I'd be staggered if he hadn't had an involvement or a recommendation towards this one.

You don't think Rasmus has anything to with signing Mads Roerslev Rasmussen. 😉

Yep, I guess the "wet fanny" accusers pick up on the vocal minority rather than pay attention to the pragmatism of the vast majority of posters....

Yeah, I'm really frustrated we didn't sign Aaron Wan-Bisakka, Dallot, James, Rico Lewis or Ben White. 

Everyone out.

Happy to be sat on my own with this one. He's shite.

Guys there was always insight about why we signed him.

His full name is Mads Roerslev Rasmussen

Makes sense he's known by the first two names. He's probably too embarrassed to use his full name.

There's no mention of price anywhere, so it's fair to assume he was cheap.

Mads signed originally to play in Brentford's B Team. He got promoted to the first team and supplied the assist for their crucial second goal in the playoff final.

Once they made it up to the PL they offered him a 3 year contract extension and he took it.

His Brentford contract was up in Feb 2026. he was third choice RB in January this year so he went on loan to Wolfsburg and they had a shocker apparently with the manager likely to go (haven't looked). Brentford weren't going to renew. He would walk for free in February. He clearly wants to play (hence the loan to Wolfsburg). We have Danish and Brentford connections.

Looks like a good signing to me. Either free or <£2m I reckon.

>> The Cornish Beckenbauer has gone on a marauding run forwards, supported by Manning. We f**k it up, and we're being hit on the break: Now we have the man mountain recovery pace of big Josh + a 6ft tall canny Dane who's speciality is positioning and 1 on 1 defending.

Couple that with Manning's new found ability to stop crosses coming in from his side and we have the foundation of a solid defensive unit. For all the beautiful triangle passing under Russ in the Champ we did ship a shed load of goals and not just because of suicidal passing in our own box.

Will Still is pragmatic and his teams are solid defensively. Wouldn't it be nice to not have a shit show at the back all the time? It's been years since we had that.

I doubt it would be free or under £2m, he had a £5.6m option to buy in his loan, so probably sold for a little under that.

That was a £5.6m option to buy in Jan 2025 when he had 12 months on his contract. He had ~18 weeks left on that contract when he signed for us, and Brentford paid peanuts for him as a 19yo Championship B teamer from Copenhagen

No, the £5.6m option to buy was for this summer at the end of his loan.

This seems really sensible to me. 

Brentford fans seem to all be saying the same things: good defensively, great character, works hard. 

All things which we have been sorely lacking for a number of years, even back to our first relegation. 

We have to stop shipping vast quantities of goals.

Yes but it was written into the contract in January - and they didn't take it up. Hence they didn't think he was worth that to them. 

Maybe it was £3m but it wouldn't have been £5m. Either way it seems good value and a 4 year contract gets us 2 years for a player in his prime before we have to worry about renewing his contract or moving him on.

It was the value that was put on him for the summer window. We probably got him for less, but I doubt it being free or under £2m, given they valued him at £5.6m for the summer window.

Some surnames are so common in Denmark that many people use their middle name. I hac a customer called Jens Jensen. That's like being called John Smith in England. 

But yes, that name would embarrass anybody.
