8th June 2004: The news from Copenhagen
is generally good. I managed to strike up a conversation with a number
of FC Copenhagen fans and apart from one burly barman who thought
Albrechtsen was "a bit of a pretty boy", the verdict was that he was
a very good player and that they were sorry to see him go. What was
interesting was that they all, without exception, had a very high
opinion of Gaardsoe.
I hadn't realised until yesterday that Megson had tried to sign Albrechtsen
a couple of years ago - it's yet another "Canadian Mountie" moment,
although this time he got him at a significantly reduced price. It
sounds like good business to me.
On other news, the names we're are being linked with points to an
encouraging amount of ambition on the part of the board. But I'll
remain schtum on my views until deals are complete.
