Released Town defender Pim Balkestein appears set to sign a three-year deal with Brentford, according to his girlfriend’s Facebook page. Balkestein left the Blues at the end of the season and recently spent time on trial in Germany with Fortuna Dusseldorf.

That seems to have come to nothing with his girlfriend announcing her departure for west London via her Facebook page on Thursday: "Probably leaving Holland in the next two weeks, and then we'll be living in Brentford for the next three years."

The Dutch central defender, who has been spotted in Ipswich on a number of occasions in the last fortnight, has been training with the Bees, with whom he spent time on loan last season.

jas0999 added 09:33 - Jul 31 Facebook?! Deary me, what has the world come too - WAG's announing deals before the players / clubs! Anyone got Chopra's girlfriends facbook page?!!!! Good luck to Pim, but Brentford is about his level. He's not a championship player and IMO Roy was right to release him.	45 forum posts 818 news comments 84 match reports 0 blogs 0 polls
