Petter Vaagan Moen starting for Norway against Ireland tommorow night

[Frode]

I am just worried that only the scandanavian r's fans are keen on him.

The rest of us realise that norwegian football is poor and he will find the championship much tougher.

Not all of us is too keen on him either, but at least we are willing to give a 26 year old international costing us **** all a chance. You should try it sometime

Would still get in QPR's starting 11

As far as I know Norway have good defenders not strikers! Hope he is not another Marc Nygaard.

I cannot see Nygaard ever getting in the Norway team - probably because he is Danish!!!!!

As far as the new guy wait and see and then judge - I trust Warnock. Was not that impressed with the signing of Derry and Hill but look how that has turned out and if we signed everybody who was mentioned on this sight as "worth a punt" we would have the biggest squad in the world and in the Guiness Book of Records.

Don't waste your breath, Frode, much as I agree with you. Think there are one or two posters who take the view that if someone if a foreigner they must be useless - as if England had the best players in the world...

Ok, extreme, I know, but...

Zinedine Zidane (France, but Algerian by birth)
George Best (N.Ireland)
Adel Taarabt (Morrocco)
Ole Solskier (Norway)
Alex Hleb (Belarus)
Hristo Soichkov (Bulgaria)
Pavel Nedved (Czech)
Andriy Shevchenko (Ukraine)
Gheorghe Popescu (Romania)
Roy Keane (Rep of Ireland)
Brian Laudrup (Denmark)
Henrik Larsson (Sweden)

Again, I know these are extremes, but none of the above (birthright) nations are exactly ones which you'd worry about playing, but they's all produced some World Class players. Not saying Moen is of the same stature, but have we not leant from the recent signings of Mackie, Derry and Hill that it's quite a good idea to not write them off before they've even kicked a ball in anger?

From what I've seen, he looks very capable on the ball, and in our side, I'm sure he'll see a lot of it. He's got two good feet, and looks composed infront of goal, as well as being able to beat the 'keeper from a distance.

This could turn out to be yet another gem uncovered from our boss, and for a very reasonable price. If it doesn't work out, so what? We need to start looking for these types of bargains, as well as looking in the lower leagues back here.

[BennyBoyRs]

Add Giggs and Bale from Wales to that list, who both play the same position. Who'd have thunk they'd produce two world class wingers in a row?

I'd rather play Wales than Norway.

[PeterG]

dunno about crap strikers but Morten pederson just put a sweet freekick past givens!

[G.T.P]

has our man scored yet? if no, then hes shite.

lol

[QPRVIN]

Played 70 mins. Looked ok in a meaningless friendly. Nice 1st touch @ looked comfortable on the ball.
Ray Houghton also said he had signed for us when he was substituted!

COYR's

[stainrodisalegend]

It seems everyone is announcing this signing except QPR "first with the news" World.

[kingy10]

We've got some intelligent people on here....mmmm

Where did Faurlin come from?

How about Buzacky?

Give the bloke a chance, let's be honest if Norway can beat the Republic of Ireland they'd most definitely hammer us and if he can get in their side then he must be half decent.
