Interesting link. Much more detailed, but basically fits my impression with him as well.

Fair play that was very good article. Having read that I would see him as a whitts type player with more pace. Seems like his vision and passing are his biggest attributes.

If we sign this kid then yes, I think so. Midfield would surely be:-

Noone
Medel
Eikrem
**new winger**

Mutch (just behind striker)

Noone and the new winger won't start. Bellamy will be on one wing as he has high energy levels and can cover Declan John when he overlaps. Look more into Ole's system and you'll see he has one high energy defensive minded winger and one all out attacking winger i.e. Zaha if he joins on loan.

Look a lot like Vidic

He was seen leaving the stadium with Solskjær and they walked together into the Cardiff bus. Look like a done deal. :mrgreen:


The lad on the lefts a good bloke, we have a double or quits bet in progress! The one in a hat looks a bit of a gamble to help him lose it. :thumbup:

Mutch is not a number 10.

Thanks for posting this. One of his strengths is getting the right pass to find a team mates run which is exactly what Campbell needs.

Agreed and not a 59 yard hopeless ball from Turner

Can't see ole signing Matt Dealli and Magnus Wollf, aren't they similar players in the same positions?

Really??

To be honest mate Jordan Mutch would walk into my side this year. I think he's been superb and getting better and better every game.

As you know I think whitts is a good player and has suffered under Malky who for some reason unknown to me moved back out wide after two excellent performances against United and arsenal. But whitts biggest problem in my eyes is that he won't take rresponsibility. There is absolutely no way he should be rolling the ball 5 feet to Andrew Taylor so he can whip the ball into the box as he does time and time again.

Mats Moller Dæhli is more of a left winger but can play on the right and centre as well.

I can only summise under orders from MM.

This Eikrem sounds like he plays in the position Mutch has been occupying thats why I dropped Mutch

If Eikrem and Dæhli both come over, that is huge for Cardiff as it means that two among the three most creative players (not counting Per Ciljan Skjelbred) in the 'new' attacking-oriented Norwegian national team could build an understanding and grow tight both in club and international ties.

Seems too good for us, read the scout report and sounds an amazing playmaker. Would fit in very well if we start playing this attacking game

Eikrem has the potential to be world class. Just listen to anyone who has watched Manchester United reserves!

so gary medel was a stella signing! great player but i'd never heared of him until he signed! i guess neither did you! as for caulker i think it was a case of being in the right place at the right time!! i dont think in a million years tim sherwood would have sold caulker! that was a result!!
