My Norwegian friend said:

He is been talked about a lot the last couple of years because he is a talented young player. He played most games in the Norwegian premier league the last year. He is a young prospect for Brighton at least the first year, but I think he is good enough to get some minutes every now and then already. But still, he will need time to get to this level, at least to be a stable first team member is my guess! Really good value for this amount of money, but be patient.

Oh dear, doesn't he know, NSC doesn't do patient.

I suppose he's got until we have run Elvis out of town.

Don't be cruel.

Apparently officially signing tomorrow...

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

All over Twitter that he's officially signing tomoro.

Is he actually any good or is this a dev squad signing until later in the season??

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I hope he's better than Agdestein.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Can we now try and get our money back for Manu?

Exactly who signed him!!??

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

Has he signed yet - lets get this one done and SMASH our transfer record for a striker and go get promoted....!

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

Naylor reporting he is a dev squad signing :-(

That'll just be to lower the expectation for now.

He'll be aiming to take Elvis' sometimes seat on the bench, I'm sure.

Naylor reporting he is a dev squad signing :-(

And the lad himself is on record as being promised he's signing to go 'straight into the A squad'.

the truth will be somewhere in between. He'll be in the first team reckoning asap, but he'll have to prove his worth and fitness in at least a couple of U21 games first.

We keep signing players for the development squad and U21s who are nearly bottom of their league so when do we expect to see a positive from this?

Does anyone actually have any idea how good this kid is? I've seen a 10 second video clip but that's it.

I don't *think* we've yet paid a potential 400K for a dev squad prospect, so perhaps we've raised the bar a little.

No certainties of course, but at least we can hope we're getting a gem, who at least comes with good reports.

 

[BensGrandad]

Not saying about the price more the numbers of players 'signed for Dev Squad;

Give it time BG - Isn't this our first season in the new higher division, thanks for the academy status. The club themselves said in as many words it will take time and they'll struggle at first. Rome wasn't built in a day....

Also, the Argus article makes the good point about us preparing for the loan window scrap next season - the development squad is where we will rely on injury cover, so I expect the likes of this lad, Hambo, Harper etc have also been signed with one eye on that. Can only be a good thing for football in general this loan window scrap IMO...
