Now I realise where the Scottish accent comes from. The Norwegian speaking commentator sounded Scottish!

Nothing on the 'best bits' video suggests anything positive or negative on Forren though.

Looks okay but I suppose you have to consider the opposition in those clips. Now doesn't that sound familiar :laughing6:

In the past we got all our players from lower league or waiting to pasture from bigger clubs. Some have been adored by us fans.
I suppose if he comes, he could be special :ayatollah:

Yeah, it's fairly likely, but I wouldn't bee too sure:) He hasn't been in his best form so far this season. I'd be hesitant if I were Ole. I hope the Premiership full back he mentioned is Jonathan Parr.

You do get a feeling Ole is putting his head in a noose signing any more Norwegians, but I don't think he cares about that at all.

He'll play against Russia for Norway at 15:00 today, so I guess we'll see what his level is like right now.

He is good with the ball, but way too slow and not smart enough to make up for it. That's why he failed at Southampton. I don't think he is any better than what is already here.

Yes I know it's a Youtube video, but how you can say that he's slow is bewildering! :?

Perhaps we've been spoilt for pace at centre back in recent years, what with Gyepes and Hudson being able to run like gazelles! :D

I want Even Hovland, I signed him on Football Manager 3 years ago and we went up and eventually won the prem.

Reunite Macheda and Hovland :ayatollah:

Well Hovland is a defensive midfielder "re-schooled" into CB, probably why he doesn't get any faith yet on the national team, he's supposedly in the squad for the two games this week but hasn't been mentioned in any line ups. I hope he makes strides soon, but I think Strandberg, Semb Berge and Forren are all better than him when on form in the CB position.

Honestly not impressed with the Norwegians after watching their game against France the other day. We already signed their best player. Hope ogs leaves it at that.

Are you talking about that 15 year old? Not to be rude but after watching that woeful display I can see why a talented 15 year old can do well in your league. :laughing6:

Yeah because with all your key players injured I bet Wales could mop the floor with France, right?

And Ødegaard is better at 15 than Dæhli was at 15.

I read about him on the Manu forum I understand he was wanted there.
Mind they don't necessarily say he is better just bigger than Mats was at that age which enables him to play first team football at an early stage. Because of Mats size he never could have played against grown men at that age, he is simply too small.
The kid looks good though hope he developes into a top player for you. :thumbright:

Isn't Cala also left footed? TBH, while I like Forren, I'd see him as backup or rotation for Cala.
