Familiar face still trying to help Saints

[studentsaint]

Unfortunately this lad seems to have fallen short again, with Eriksens first game back expected to be at St Mary's.

Erm, what am I missing?

For those of you lacking ESP, the link mentions that Veggard Forren was the one who fouled Christian Eriksen, which might have led to him being out of the match between Saints and Spurs, but probably won't.

Vegard Forren did actually play very well in the two games Norway played the last week, espically against Scotland.

[Hatch]

We should sign him

[Rasiak-9-]

Did we ever figure out precisely what actually happened with Forren? I mean we didn't even give him a go in the first team when we knew we were staying up.

 

Was it literally that the manager just made his mind up that he was never going to be good enough more-or-less straight away? and as such saw no point in giving him a go?

 

It just seems strange as a lot of people did report back as seeing him play very well in matches in Norway and in their national team.

He's just too slow, both in feet and mind.

Never suited for our style of play.

You dont have to see someone play in the first team to realise they aren't good enough when you work with them everyday.

I was a bit surprised when looking at the YouTube clips of him. His distribution looked OK, but rarely did it show him in a tackle?..... and he looked painfully slow on the move.

 

Even if he were still here, he'd have little chance of dislodging either Lovren or Fonte in their present form.

Forren won the Norwegian Cup today with Molde!

Saw enough in his reserve team games to suggest he would look suspect in the PL. He just looked really slow.
