Christian Norgaard deal agreed, £7m from Arsenal.
01 Aug 2026 18:02:06
We better have something decent in the pipeline elsewhere. This transfer window is scaring me.
01 Aug 2026 18:04:13
Good signing.
01 Aug 2026 18:06:27
Reckon that's a great deal for 7m, really effective for Brentford, we needed a replacement for Idrissa.
01 Aug 2026 18:22:45
Didn't play much for Arsenal but at that price give him a go.
01 Aug 2026 19:04:23
Solid team depth at a good price. I think he can play some CB.
01 Aug 2026 19:43:41
Think this is a really shrewd signing to be honest. Very different approach to the position than Gueye but has much better passing range which I welcome - inexpensive compared to some of the unproven players we've been linked to.
01 Aug 2026 21:27:00
Agree he's solid and decent, but the lack of a right back is worrying. Not sure this Celtic lad is the one, but at least he's a right back, I suppose.

I'm sorry, but No Go to Norgaard even for £7M, 32 year old who couldn't make it into the Arsenal squad.If we want to become a so called top 6 team again we need to stop buying their rejects.We need to do what we did in Moyes first stint.Find unproven talent from Championship or Europe, and don't give them release clauses in their contracts and stop being a sell on club when we make them good.Also believe in our youth talent more instead of loaning them out for experience and give them a shot at top level.
Moyes done that with Rooney and he should definitely do that again with Braiden Graham.

Couldn't get Rice out of the team? Must be awful then. Solid signing for me. We're looking to build a strong squad. Good player, good pro, improves us. Not the last signing, and no one saw it coming, which means we're in the market.
01 Aug 2026 22:43:29
That would give options of Garner, Norgaard and Tim as CDM.. A fairly solid depth there.
01 Aug 2026 23:38:46
Moyes was absolutely dreadful at bringing youth through in his first stint. Rooney is incomparable and we will never get that lucky again. Nor will any English club imo. What a player.
02 Aug 2026 10:09:25
And what a player young Braiden will become too, created the winning goal in last night's friendly in Germany after coming on for just the last few minutes.
02 Aug 2026 11:01:17
Not sure you could say he created the goal. But nice to see young players getting a go.
02 Aug 2026 11:25:40
Great signing if it goes through, a top top midfielder, with brains, great size and strength, excellent passer and finds the killer pass through to the strikers. I have admired him for years at Brentford, so lucky to get him for 7 million.

BMD, he was alert and pounced on the poor pass from the keeper, then put a decent cross in leading to the OG. If he wasn't sharp and on the front foot, he doesn't intercept that pass. I think it's fair to say his positivity and proactiveness created the goal.
02 Aug 2026 16:31:14
When he came on, he added much-needed attacking emphasis along with the other subs. I worry he is a little lightweight and will be out-muscled by defenders in the Prem. Get him and Armstrong in the gym pre-season!
