Are you underwhelmed by lack of Premiership experience

Another little known signing from Norway another 23yr old with no premiership experience...I do fear we are preparing for the championship?

I feel the same as you, I hope Ole proves us wrong.

So because you don't know who they are it means they ain't good enough does it

He has OK stats on Football Manager 2014

have you heard of them before?

lack of experience springs to mind

don't be so shallow with your replies

I'm underwhelmed with the Premier League, full stop.

He had an unsuccessful spell for Udinese in Serie A which in my opinion, is a lesser standard league than the Premiership. He's also only had 3 caps for Norway, which at 23 suggests he isn't quite up to our level, unless Norway have some really good midfielders keeping him out? If he isn't even good enough to make the Norway squad who lost to Scotland 1-0 in November, I am doubtful he will be good enough to improve our squad at the moment. But of course, I will wait until I see him play before making a proper judgement and I do hope he surprises me to prove my initial thoughts wrong.

Fernando Torres/Luis Suarez never played in the Prem before they came here, bet Liverpool regret signing em

Also have you considered the fact maybe they're good players just playing for a poor nation?
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is an absolute talent and he plays for Armenia, lol

How you can compare Torres/Suarez who were 2 big names in football playing in quality leagues before Liverpool signed them to a 23 year old unknown who only has 3 caps for Norway and plays for a team who came 6th in the Norwegian league last season is absolutely baffling.

Seamus Coleman didn't have any PL experience before joining Everton

Again I'm not sure what would make people happy - there will always be people who are critical regardless of experience of a player.

I see it as signing young players who are hungry with everything to prove who also know what kind of football OGS wants to play. If we end up with Fabio and Zaha - I see again very hungry players to prove Man U wrong and will work that much more to prove themselves. Then we of course have the current squad looking to step up their own game to keep spots.

I think OGS is great at motivating, and I see the signings and potential signings as proof as that.

Of course it's risky, but any moves in this postion would be considered just that.

As always this is all very premature I could totally be seeing this incorrectly of course - but I hope I'm not!

Bundesliga > La Liga > Serie A > Portuguese Premier > Premier league.

We're not allowed to sign young players willing to succeed and have a team for years to come, we've gotta sign Zamora/Andy Johnson on 80k a week to keep the fans happy

Diego Forlan had an unsuccessful spell at man utd then went an smashed la liga.
An just because a player isn't picked for an international squad does not mean he's a bad player.
Frazier Campbell is no where near the England squad, should we sell him?

Fernando Torres/Luis Suarez never played in the Prem before they came here, bet Liverpool regret signing em

What a stupid comparison.

Seamus Coleman didn't have any PL experience before joining Everton

Seamus Coleman was 19 when he signed for Everton and went to Blackpool for experience to improve his game and develop further. He's a fantastic right back now, but it took him years to get up to performing at his current level consistantly. This Norwegian we are signing is 23, the same age as Coleman but he has never established himself at a level as high as the Premiership and you wouldn't think he would develop much further as a player at 23. You can't compare Coleman, who was signed at a younger age for the future to this Norwegian, who we are signing to improve our team right now.

Diego Forlan never had a run of games for Man Utd and the the pace and physicality of the British game didn't suit his style of play, just like Velikonja. England are a better team than Norway. Comparing the standard of England's strikers ahead of Campbell to Norway's midfielders ahead of this guy we're signing is silly.

We're not in the position to gamble on youngsters who might come good in the future. We need players who can come in, hit the ground running and improve our team now to keep us up. As I said in another thread, Wes Hoolahan wants to leave Norwich, or even someone like Tim Cahill who is still fit as a fiddle at 34, would bring us the experience, drive and leadership qualities to help get us results.

No. Stop making such silly statements.

I think he was being sarcastic.

I'm not on about the sarcastic ending to his post, I'm on about him comparing Torres/Suarez to the Norwegian signings. Both those players had already built up a considerable reputation before joining the premier league.

No saying he's not good enough because he hasn't been picked for his national side is silly.
Look at the players Coleman picks.
An thanks for proving my point about different players suiting different leagues.

Well obviously banging goals for Athletico and Ajax doesn't mean you're destined to be a world class player.

We don't have to spend big to bring in experience. We could try loaning Tim Cahill from New York for a few months as the MLS season is over now. He's still fit as a fiddle and would give us the quality, drive and leadership qualities to help get us results.
