Turkish Posted 15 January, 2013 Share Posted 15 January, 2013 Anyone made any good jokes about signing 'Forren players' yet? Can't be arsed to check the whole thread. I hear he is held in high Vegard in Norway. PMSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig Dig Posted 15 January, 2013 Share Posted 15 January, 2013 I can vouch for this. I heard he's never even been to Norway but just gets off on the idea of pretending he has. All the foreign lot do this. Davie in Sweden is actually in a bedsit in Slough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 15 January, 2013 Share Posted 15 January, 2013 I've been reading up on this guy and as far as I can see he's nothing more than a Norway version of that centre back we signed from Millwall in the early nineties. Isn't it good... I assume you mean Steve Wood rather than Neil Ruddock (probably late 80's thinking about it). Can't believe he's only on a par with Steve Wood.

I made a joke but I don't think anyone will get it. David in Sweden didn't but then I didn't put any of it in bold. It was only a stoopid pop culture pun anyway. Oh well, this bird has flown.

norwaysaint Posted 15 January, 2013 Share Posted 15 January, 2013 Don't recognise the name, but he's Norwegian you see, (Swedes don't take them seriously- unless one of their long-distance skiers trounces a Swede in the Winter Games).....we should ask Norway Saint for an update (a regular poster on the Overseas site.) I almost never post there, but I have already posted twice on this thread. Like this one: Okay, my first class of the day (17 year old "Technical and industrial production" students) are unanimous that he would be good enough for the premier league. One thinks he won't come to us because he's a united fan, most agree he should come to us so that he won't sit on the bench. They all watch a lot of Norwegian and English football. I'll give the verdict from my other classes later. My wife is going to be talking to the Molde owner at his house on Thursday. I'll have her talk it over with him then. I did ask my other classes, as I don't know much about him, but most of them follow both leagues more closely than I do. My 17 year old electronics students thought he was pretty good, but more suited to the lower teams in the PL (this class had the lowest interest in football though), my "Ship's technical" class, aged early twenties to mid thirties were very knowledgeable and all believed he was easily good enough for the PL. So there you go. A straw poll of about 50 fans of Norwegian football who also watch the PL regularly and the general consensus was that he should be a good signing for us, although oddly enough, different people have different opinions. I also spoke to my wife and she will be sitting opposite the Molde owner at a dinner on Thursday and promised to make it the main topic of conversation, although she may have been lying.

CB Fry Posted 15 January, 2013 Share Posted 15 January, 2013 Shame on me. Had my Saints 'head' in focus, rather than Beatles pop one. No worries! Too many layers I think. I needed someone to get it quickly before the mob buried me under a barrage of "how dare you compare him to Steve Wood when he hasn't even played" outrage... Note to self: lay off the puns.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 In fact, it even says why it is a sticky.

the stain Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 easily confused I take it...nowhere on this thread does it say he has signed...lol..i'm sure the title will be changed once/if he has. So why is it a sticky then? Are all potential signings going to have their own thread which is made a sticky? It's confusing because (1) you're not meant to make a thread about a target, but put it on the other thread about potential transfers and (2) there are other threads about players, who also haven't signed, which aren't stickies......so what makes this different?

St Chalet Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 Normally use stickies for when something has become the prime topic of conversation. This story about us is being covered extensively by major sports broadcasters and is seemingly an imminent deal. If and when he does sign, we'll update the thread title to reflect.

The most annoying thing about Charlet is that he never picks me up on the extra r I always put in his name. Usually I just let my iPhone do what it likes, let's face it if it has a battery, it must know what it's doing. Even MLG doesn't get annoyed by it. Did matey get banned for calling him a ****?

Saint Charlie Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 Here's an interesting one for you. Spoke to someone at SFC last night and they said this isn't an NC, NA or LR signing and is actually a transfer commitee signing. Apparantly they actually sat down and agreed on the type of player they wanted and ran through all the options provided by Paul Mitchell and the scouting team. NA had his input and then NC approached Molde's Chairman to begin talks. Probably bull**** but thought I would post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
