| Henderson to Chelsea 17:42 - Aug 3 with 806 views | Zx1988 | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/fo I see that Brentford released Henderson, who then signed for Chelsea as a free agent. Where is the benefit to Brentford in that, rather than taking a modest fee for him or even, if no fee was going to be forthcoming, retaining his registration and transferring him to Chelsea on a free? |  |

That was my thought. What is the difference, though, between releasing him and just letting him leave on a free? |  |

Maybe he had a few months left on his contract? |  |

| Henderson to Chelsea on 17:55 - Aug 3 | andyblue231 | Chelsea are just an absolute joke of a club I want them to fail so badly. That said I wonder if there’s a loan for one of these that would be good: They still have nine senior centre-backs on their books, including Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Tosin Adarabioyo, Josh Acheampong, Benoit Badiashile, Aaron Anselmino, Axel Disasi and Mamadou Sarr. |  | |  |

He had another year on his deal. I can't see how releasing him would have made any difference from a wages perspective. It's just one of those deals that feels as if it's been made unnecessarily convoluted in order to benefit one of the sides, and my money would be on Chelsea being the beneficiary. |  |
