Erik Midtgarden

[Mackenzie]

Erik Central Garden

That translation is quite funny.

I'm just checking him out on Football Manager.

His best position is rated as right/left sided advanced winger, although also highly rated as a striker. So he would fit into a 4-5-1 well I guess if we wanted to play him out wide.

Got that Debut Goal, could be another Gem uncovered by Gus!!

I'm a norwegian Brighton supporter and think I'm able to say something about the level. Haven't watched many Brighton matches, but I was over to see the one against Huddersfield last year, and I follow them on Sky (if possible).

I would say that the level in L1 is about the same as in norwegian second tier.

Unfortunately I haven't seen Midtgarden playing, but he was ranked seond on tema in the local newspaper last year, and ranked as number 1 among the fans last year. Most people was surprised that his team survived last year, and he contributed well. He has played 1 U-21 match for Norway some years ago, but seems to need a change to improve his career.

And. He's club Mjondalen has beaten Werder Bremen in the UEFA Cup at Weser Stadion. Back in the seveties, but still.....

Thanks for taking the time to post Iggy

Could this shit about players nationality please piss off to another thread so we can actually discuss the player we're trialling

just like to make one last comment
just how many of the German players who played us in the world cup were born in Germany?

and also this Nordic guy looks useful

 

[severnside gull]

so, will he be on the plane to Portugal on Monday?

His fee, if we sign him, is suggested at 200,000 krone or just over £20K sterling

If he signs and gets 10 goals above then i will laugh my head off. Would be great piece of business considering we still near enough have a full budget left.

Looked promising tonight - big, strong, held ball up well and took his goal superbly.

From what you've seen, is he good enough ?

Difficult to tell really. I mean for the last 20 minutes he had no service. He did look good though. Maybe worth a gamble but would rather a proven goalscorer, but there isn't too many of them about.

All you racist bellends can rest easy in your robes, his Grandad was English:

I guess Midtgarden only costs 20k so there is noreason why we can't take a gamble and still get another striker in.

 

[murraymints4brighton]

I did say there would be two strikers coming in, a foreign and a proven one.

 

[HalfTimeOrange]

If we can get Midtgarden on the cheap then I don't see why we shouldn't turn him down. Give him a few more games and if he impresses further I hope Gus makes the right choice.

If he is only 20k then I'd snap him up, ship Holroyd out on loan and then have Murray, Barnes, Midtgarden and another to choose from up front.

 

[Sargey]

He is defo worth another look....maybe 45 tomorrow

Now we're talking !

and pretty quick too, and not afraid to shoot from the edge of the box.

A very different player to Holroyd.

Worth another look, definitely.

We need a striker like this, one thats not afraid to try his luck from distance, Murray always seems to be the type of player who wants to get himself near the goal, but having a striker who's not afraid would benefit us massively.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I went to the game last night and as i've been out of touch with the papers/internet this week, i didn't know who he was until the players started shouting "Erik, Erik" when they wanted the ball.

Took his goal really well but blazed two other chances miles high out of the ground completely. Too early to tell if he is any good. Gus seemed pleased with him and congratulated him at the end.
