With two of Ole ' s mates impending joining, what connections does Ole have with Finbogasson....enough to tempt him here perhaps?

The Prem would be enough to tempt him IMO, let alone singing his team mate, his country's captain playing for us, and a Scandinavian legend as our manager :thumbup: :ayatollah:

I suspect that we'd have every chance if Ole wants him, but surely it'll depend on whether bigger clubs are in for him or not?

Both Eikrem and Gunnarson currently play in the same team as Finnbogason so I'm sure there are words being had already. IF he's available

BIGGER clubs than Cardiff...?? :?

Go wash your mouth out with soap, sir! :shock: :laughing6:

Don't count anything out at the moment. I think the club and its new manager are on a roll... :ayatollah:

:) Hadn't counted us out, but I'd have thought that if we were in for Finnbogasson, he'd possibly have travelled over with Daehli?

I suspect there will be more negotiations going on for any possible Finnbogasson deal as they'll know they can get a bidding war going as he's their star asset.

What kind of striker is he?

Re: Finbogasson

With 41 goals in 48 games...A darn good one!

Still not decided on him, we need a striker who can do a fair amount of donkey work or at least be able to run from deep, last year he only seemed to score short range chances from crosses etc, this year he seems to be setting himself up for more goals but watched him play vitesse recently and wasn't overawed :oops:

If we had a good enough midfield we wouldnt need strikers to work hard and track back. Eikrem hopefully might be the key to this. Anyone here remember Gerd Muller, possibly the greatest striker of all time. You wouldn't catch him outside the six yard box but if a ball was played into it, hed score - no question. However he did have a quality midfield behind him.

Eikrem is Norwegian and plays with Finnbogason at Heerenveen. But Finnbogason is Icelandic and Gunnarson is his international captain.

Something about this guy doesnt excite me, obviously a good scoring record but I dunno.

In Ole I will trust.
