Pretty good stats for someone who has supposedly been shit all season.. Been involved in 6 goals for us all together, whether its from corners or not you still need the quality. The position stats are pretty interesting.. His best position has always been the middle of the pitch.. Malky used him wide left far too often.


Sorry that's just not true. His best season for us, when he got 25 goals and umpteen assists, he played in an advanced position wide on the left. Malky rarely played him on the left having decided to convert him to a deep lying central midfielder as soon as he arrived.



it is true.

The season he scored all those goals about half were pens. another few were free kicks. because of this his position on the pitch wouldnt have mattered

He's far too slow to play on the left at this level and its shown time after time. To be honest he could do with a rest so its a good thing having Eikrem

£2.5m is the average rumour, but they're calling it an 'undisclosed fee'.

Its a forum saying from ages ago when everyone used to say 'another player ruined by Jones' in regards to Matthews and so on.

Similar to Charlie Adam that season.. Can't take away the quality of those freekicks though... given more protection at the back free reign to control the game more and a bit of a confidence boost and he could be a good mid prem table level player. but becuase he doesnt go gung ho into challenges people dont rate him

Three seasons ago.... How many did he score the season after? He got 8 last season, decent return for a midfielder

An exciting prospect alongside Mutch etc.

I tend not to read too much into transfers until the club announces them, but as I say, looks like a good prospect...

This guy could be a class act I think. Can't wait to see him slot in with Kim, Mutch and Noone. Medel a given of course.

Maradona did too before Malky. Time moves on apace. Best leave the past where it belongs. Lets now support our new star.

So I take it he's filled Gestede's spot in our 25 man squad. Wo'nt we have to ship a couple more out, if we intend to bring in Diouf and Zaha.

Re: ' Magnus Wolff Eikrem has been officially confirmed '

Let's give Witts the credit he has earned over the years. A great servant to the club. I for one hope OGSfinds a way to get the best from him.

Welcome to Eikrem. Room and formation to suit both somehow?

Re: ' Magnus Wolff Eikrem has been officially confirmed '

Wed Jan 08, 2014 8:29 pm

We sign a Norwegian player for £2,5 million who never played for united, spent a few seasons at Molde half a season at a Dutch club and we (AAMB) are planning to ditch one of our favoured sons :lol: :lol:

We spent £8 million on a striker but play the £600k player ahead of him

We spend £1.5 million on a full back but play out free transfer veteran ahead of him


I doubt OGS will start him, but if he does may we find Whitts in the middle of an attacking 3 instead of Kimbo ?

Malky ruined whits we all know that, does anyone believe he should have been so deep last season?? Of course not and now he is shot of confidence.

Let's hope Eikrem can do his job but better.

Re: ' Magnus Wolff Eikrem has been officially confirmed '

Wed Jan 08, 2014 11:02 pm

Ogs is pulling in players who want to play for their childhood hero, and know they will develop. Hate to say it, but Malky would had to pay over the odds to get players. Ogs salary could be a bargain.
