Just made a quick search and found that Magnus Wolff Eikrem, Mats Moller Daehli, Mame Biram Diouf and Orjan Nylan all share the same agent - Jim Solbakken.
Funnily enough, Solbakken was also Solskjaer's agent during his playing days.
Talk about taking advantage of contacts.

well no wonder he wants the deals done cos he'll have a nice tidy sum from those deals .

Good money for the agent, i bet he's loving life at the moment

There's differences when it comes to agents. Some are greedy, some are not.
I'm ITK.

It's been common knowledge since the day Solksjaer arrived, someone posted a link to all the agents clients.
All managers do the same they get people they think they can trust around them.....

The main problem could be when Solskjaer leaves, he may want to take them all with him again.....

Hopefully by then we will have a good footing in the PL and able to replace them without a fuss

List of Solbakken clients:
http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/jim-s ... _1292.htmlIt seems we've been linked with a few of these.
Is Solskjaer planning on casting his net beyond players who share the same agent as him?
Thu Jan 09, 2014 9:29 pm
Even Hovland's on that list!
He was awesome for me on FM 12!

Solbakken is also one of Solskjærs best friends in life. So don't read too much into it..
And if you see that list, you have som of the best Norwegian players and talents at the present. So Norwegian papers will always link these guys to Solskjær.

In fact that raises the issue of a potential conflict of interests.

If the players where under par I would agree, but here you have som of the best Norwegian players around, so then he can't buy these because they know eachother and are friends? As I understand everything is corrupt at some stage, and as football has become big business, corruption comes creaping alon the side... NOT that I'm implying that Solskjær is corrupt!!!!

Or talk about lack of contacts? Don't get me wrong, I'm not for a moment having a pop at our new manager, just seems a bit...I dunno...odd that he's only signing players from one agent. Then again, I guess the reason he's signing those players is because he knows them and knows what they can do...

No shit Sherlock.
Everything OGS have done seemes to be part of a long term plan, and that will take us mid league. So what if he just have been using one agent so far, any idiot (I'm not saying there are any idiots on this forum) can find something to criticise in any situation.

Just because there good Norwegian players doesn't mean they are going to be good enough for the premier league.
