STM Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I think it's well known that we are one of the clubs keen on him. I just think he will either stay with Brentford or go to a club which will win trophies soon. The only thing I can think is if we are willing to offer him a longer contract and bigger wages than other clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, loyalty for taking a chance on him after his heart scare and you know general loyalty that one human being may hold towards a set of colleagues or fans to which they are affiliated.

Manxst Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Just don’t see the Brentford attraction for him. They have him a (6 month) chance after his surgery but he can do much better, can earn more, can try for trophies and play with better players elsewhere. Just don’t see him staying if he has options to go elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been at Brentford as long as Bruno has been here. There's every chance he's made a similar connection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 21 minutes ago, STM said: Whilst I wouldn't rule out us signing another midfielder, I'm fairly certain that Shelvey will get a new contract with us. He mentioned just wanting to be part of the transition between the past and the future. I think he will probably accept a lesser role in the next couple of years. I get the impression he is settled here. Personally, I've got no problem with Shelvey being a squad player in the future. It's gone very quiet with Shelvey. I don't know, think he would have been sorted out now if he was here long term. He is 30 years old now. Both Dummet and Longstaff were sorted out pretty quickly towards the end of the season, but no deal in sight for Shelvey. Guess we'll find out soon enough though.

Chris_R Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 He absolutely will not stay at Brentford. This will be his last big move, and with all due respect Brentford will not be able to offer him what he wants which will either be trophies, money, or most likely both.

But what is the reason to stay at Brentford? Simply because they gave him a contract last year? Every team has applauded him- it doesn’t seem that he has some special ‘connection’ at all? Brentford (with respect to them), haven’t got the fanbase, finances, possibility of success etc etc….he can do massively better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Eriksen and Brentford both did a good thing for each other. Having said that I think Eriksen wants to end his career with something a bit more exciting than Brentford. Wherever that may be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Dont forget he was at Inter until his incident cut that short, hes 30 and has a heart issue he'll thank Brentford for the chance and move back up to his rightful level for the money and a chance at winning trophies.

nufc123 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 In the Douglas article it says hes not after big wages. He just wants to be a place where he can enjoy his football. Something i think he is at Brentford. I think after what happend to him all this ego/trophies/ambition thing goes out the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that, but think he’ll enjoy his football more being at the upper end of the table and challenging. Just ‘enjoying football’- he might as well go back to Denmark.
