We asked for your views on Brentford triggering one-year contract extensions for long-serving trio Josh Dasilva, Rico Henry and Mathias Jensen.
Here are some of your replies:
Trevor: Stability is important, so I’m glad to see that we are keeping players who have contributed so much. I’m not sure too many clubs would have stood by Josh, but it reflects on the caring nature of Brentford. The fact that assistant coach Kevin O’Connor is still at the club, having only ever played for Brentford, speaks volumes.
Rob: Rico is by far the best left-back at the club. I don’t think Mathias will be a regular starter for us next season, but what an option to have off the bench. Similarly, Josh won’t be a regular starter, but he is a great substitute. He was a fantastic player for us in his prime and I would love to see him return to those levels again. They are three true Bees who represent everything the fans love.
Paul: Solid signings to be fair. These players have never let the club down and they are ambassadors for the team, on and off the pitch. I’m delighted for Josh, after everything he has been through. I’m delighted to see the club stick by a player through the good and the bad.
Ian: It is good to see Brentford trigger these extensions for three legends. Ricogoing into his 11th year at the club is a rarity in itself. Mathias turned his season around and got more game time after Christmas. As for Josh, I was at Craven Cottage when he picked up his injury just in front of us fans. I feared for his future, but with true grit and support of the rehab team he returned against West Ham. This olden certainly shed a tear that day!
Ray: I 100% support the club’s decision. Josh, Rico and Mathias have played an integral part in the Bees’ climb and I believe that will continue with us climbing into Europe soon.
