Headline: Northwood living in a dream world
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the major English newspapers today used a full page making fun of successful Brøndby manager Thomas Northwood. The reason was a comment made by the manager on a press conference earlier this week when Mr Northwood confirmed that they were looking for a way to bring back Johan Absalonsen to Brøndby stadium. Absalonsen was one of the young stars of the Brøndby team Thomas Northwood took over and has made Danish champions three year in a row. The 22 year old player moved to Chelsea last year on a free transfer after his contract with Brøndby ran out. In Chelsea he has had a hard time getting in to the first team and have spend all of this season in the reserves team. Several other teams are also looking to offer the player first team football with Monaco, Everton and Blackburn being the biggest names. But with an asking price of £3.7mil the player is most likely out of Brøndbys reach but a trade might be an option. Its also questionable if the player is willing to move back to Danish football.
