   Thanks JD,time to move on when you look at our midfield players that are available there is going to be very little opportunities for him next season.Sooner he can find a new club the better as there are too many good things happening at the club to let this become a major topic of discussion.Player joins club,player leaves club what’s new.

   Big. Mistake.
   1 or 2 more years to give BFC.
   We will miss his experience, his goals and his link play and his often relentless ‘hidden’ work that links play up and keeps us ticking over.
   Dougie, we salute you.

   Douglas was great for Brentford. But from what I hear he had zero respect for the management staff and was known to kick off regularly.

   Apparently he had run ins with Rosler, Warburton and Benham as well as other coaching staff. That’s fine if you’re Lionel Messi. But that attitude will come back to bite you in the arse eventually.

   He’s not getting any younger. And from what I saw of Kerschbaumer against Stoke, we won’t be missing Dougie much. KK has got a right engine on him.

   Dougie would have been a useful bench player. But I suspect the powers-to-be got fed up with his attitude. No doubt the full story will come out in due course.

   No one player is bigger than the club.
