I see that #### that Shania kept banging on about has ended up in England by tomorrow...

Yes at the Lofty heights of Portsmouth.

Wow I wish we had got him...

[swanleyhoop]

Good in Norway rarely equals good in England.
Still waiting for wonderboy Vaagen Moen to rescue us...

[HammersmithR]

To be fair he is a good player. Norway's best striker. Scored against Portugal not so long ago in Euro Qualifier.

And no one ever said that Vaagan Moen was going to be our saviour.

Being Norway's best doesn't mean he is up to the Prem -- even though NW said he was bought for Prem football, NW isn't prepared to play him.

Erm...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
John Arne Riise
Morten Gamst pedersen
John Carew
Brede Hangeland

of the four still playing, they would all walk into our team, bar except Carew.

Cant argue with Riise and Hangeland.... but Im guna stick my neck out abit and say that, IMO, both Adel and Buzz are as good on their day as Gamst Pederson.

Disagree.





Carew would still walk into our team

A good point. I always take Swanley's comments with a pinch of salt.

And you're forgetting

1. Erik Thorsvedt
2. Oyvind Leonardsen
3. Lars Bohenen
4. Stig Inge Bjornebye
5. Tore Andre Flo
6. Martin Andresen
7. Ronny Johnsen


They would all have walked into our team.

Like i said ignore Swanley's comments.

[Jeffro]

So out of 10 million norweigians, a handful are good...

How long ago are we talking? Its rarley Norway produces a great player, and even when they do they are Norways bets talent. This lad who Pompey have signed isnt Norways best talent is he.

[swanleyhoop]

You can ignore me all you like -- the fact is that, for the amount of footballers Norway produce, very few make it into the Prem -- that list people were very quick to shove onto this thread is a tiny fraction of Norwegian footballers.
And, if Vaagen Moen is as good as we're told, why did NW play him last season? Why did he not start him or use him off the bench last Saturday?

Ignore, take with a pinch of salt, etc. etc., I couldn't care less -- but facts are facts.

[MattyRangers]

Exactly. Law of averages theyre guna produce some good players.... Even Georgia did (Kinkladze... what a player!)

[Jeffro]

I couldnt care less how good they are or people think they are, the fact is, i do not want our premiership survivla based on some two bob untried scandanavian twonk.

[Morris]

He's cack.

A great nutshell!

Along the same lines, I notice that Malaysians (I assume) on Twitter are urging Fernandez to buy the best Malaysian players to play for us in the Prem. Now, there may well be the odd untapped gem there, but are we in a position to take a chance?
Same situation -- the best in their country.
