Saint Charlie Posted 17 January, 2013 Share Posted 17 January, 2013 The Norweigan Journalist who has been with him in Soton this week just told me he expects him to sign, but maybe not until tomorrow. He is unsure why there is a hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is unsure why there is a hold up. I'm guessing they want to kill two birds with one stone in terms of the press conference. They'll have the national media down there tomorrow for the Everton pre-match conference so may as well parade him then rather than drag everyone to the stadium two days in a row. That said, doesn't stop them pre-announcing his physical unveiling a day in advance I suppose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, doesn't stop them pre-announcing his physical unveiling a day in advance I suppose... OR.... We're going to announce two new signings? OR.... Forren is being used to force the hand of someone else? (Astori? A.N.Other?) OR.... The BVI loan hasn't made it to the club bank account yet The hold up does seem a little strange though - has he been training with the squad?

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 17 January, 2013 Share Posted 17 January, 2013 I'm sure I read something yesterday which said that the deal was held up as Saints wanted to focus on the Chelsea game & the outstanding bit was the transfer of some papers to & from SMS. Maybe its just taking time to get the final paperwork done & dusted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 17 January, 2013 Share Posted 17 January, 2013 Molde Journo on Twitter says the delay is because Forren wants to know who was the "driving force behind him signing" and whether he is the "true selection of the Coach". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 17 January, 2013 Share Posted 17 January, 2013 Think its gone tits up. If it had, Saints wouldn't have just announced Seaborne going to Bournemouth. Seaborne has been our 3rd choice centre back for the last 2 games, they won't be loaning him out without bringing someone else in. Seaborne wasn't upto the Premier League and nor is Aaron Martin.

Hmm, I'm sure he has a lot to think about before he signs or not. Signing for Saints isn't he, what's to think about ? Fantastic team spirit, on the way up, some great players around him and probably more money than he could dream of in Norway, probably less tax too. Does Claus still live in Hythe or wherever it is?

norwaysaint Posted 17 January, 2013 Share Posted 17 January, 2013 I can tell you now, that is not a computer translation. I've seen plenty of those from students that just run stuff through a translator and deliver utter nonsense. Very little of that is directly translated, it is mostly rephrased by somebody who understood it. "nærmest i mål" would've been confusing for somebody translating directly for a start. Either danbert did a good job rebuilding it to make sense, or he or someone he knows speaks a bit of Norwegian. Agreed, but I think with time on your hands, the context of the deal (from this thread) and a bit of intelligence, someone could translate "closest to the target" (Thankyou Bing Translate) to "He has almost finished". As I said, he might be King Harald V for all I know, it was just the phrase that made me suspicious. Actually my point was that "mål" is most commonly translated as "goal". Substitute that into your sentence and you see how it might be confusing when talking about a defender. I speak Danish - Norwegian's basically the same language. Estonian is weird. Well, when written down they are virtually the same, but something odd happen when Danish people speak. The most basic sentence just becomes utterly incomprehensible. It's a bit like when somebody from Newcastle speaks English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
