City have a firm bid in for Sigurdarson -Norwegian Newspaper

http://www.vg.no/sport/fotball/norsk/ar ... d=10065886

According to his club Lillestrøm they have received two firm bids from two unnamed clubs. The newspaper believes these clubs to be City and Wolves.

Seeing has wolves have got a Norwegian manager he may prefer to go there, but with Gunnarson at City I think we have just a good a chance of getting him to Cardiff.

I've seen him a couple of times this season and he's getting better by the game.

Been watching some videos of this guy on youtube. Wow, he is quick and some of his passes are top class. Sign him up Malky!!

This guy is the real deal, so rather than bids for Rodriguez that were never realistic lets outbid Wolves and get him here.

Would be a quality signing, only good things i have heard about this guy.

Quick (shortened) translation: (by google translate)

- We have received specific requests for Björn. That's all I will say, said sporting director Torgeir Bjarmann to TV 2 Sport.

Championship club Cardiff have made contact with Lillestrøm, hoping to buy the Icelandic striker. But they will battle for the great talent - from, among others, Stale Solbakken and Wolverhampton. Also Everton and Reading have been linked to 21-year-old.


When TV 2 met Solbakken at the airport Monday morning - on the way to a vacation in Cannes - the Norwegian manager would not say much about the interest in Sigurd Arson.

- I do not comment on individual cases, said Solbakken, who sat in the stands when the Lillestrøm met Aalesund.


Close friend of the Solbakken,Bjarmann , is kept well informed about the other bidders at Sigurd Arson.

Really do hope he comes here!
He looks brilliant and looks sure to be a hot prospect of the future!

Reading Serpico posts on the other board, this guy seems the real deal. Let's hope we act early and get him.

Not spectacular if im honest - but the main thing here is he is a regular now, only 21 and is getting better with games. A season or two or three, at Cardiff is what he/we need!!!

11 goals in 11 games this season isn't too bad though! And as you said he is only 21, would be a great signing.

But 11 in 11 this season, which does point towards he is getting better and better. Everton been out to watch him as well

Can't agree with your comment here Craig, as 34 goals out of 116 appearances for a midfielder is a good return IMO!

Just testing you !

To be fair again though, a goal around every 3 games isn't a bad return and especially for somebody so young!

I'll bet Kenny wished that he could have got that sort of return last season!

Iceland u21s are playing tonight wonder if he will be playing
