I believe he is training with us. Cant see how Ince has made up his mind so quickly on him...

Or maybe to get players to come over, we just say we will sign you! :P

Given our connections in Norway, the fact that we have previously scouted him and the fact that he is fairly well capped for his country in the past year we should already have a pretty good idea about how good he is. It appears that this is a final check rather than a full trial, our current opinion of him might be so high that he would have to seriously mess up to blow the deal, rather than impress to get one to go ahead.

He's an exciting prospect. He and Villanueva may not be able to really change our season this year, but they are certainly two players who could becoming leading players in our side within the next few seasons.

If they are successful they will never be with us for a few seasons...That I am sure of. Unless we consistently enter European competition.

its is true that we are having a final check on him, but NO BID have been made (according to Start).

they do NOT want to sell, but for financial reasons they have to, if the money is right. If a deal is agreed Start will have to share the money with Sport Entertainment and Media group (SEM). i guess that means we have to cough up more.

Maybe, maybe not. Some great players hang around outside the top four for sizeable chunks of their career. It depends on what the big clubs need and whether they are willing to part with enough cash.

Even if they leave in two or three seasons, that means that they will have done very well for our club and it can only be a good thing. Bentley didn't stay for long, but he helped us finish 6th, had some great games and made us a big profit. You can't ask for much more when we go for someone and we won't be mourning his loss for too long. If every season we could buy a player or two capable of playing champions league football and get some decent time out of them before making a profit then the club would move forward quickly.

Totally agree,for a club our size it is the only way forward.

The Douglas story is nonsense...more chance of Kirk Douglas joining Coyle's mob.

So I ask you for good news, you give me nothing.

I go out and find my own good news, and you ###### all over my fireworks.

Thanks :lol:

Nicko, well done with the Mr Blobby story about new goalkeeping coach. Interesting to see how sparse the story is on t'official site, just says he in as new goalkeeping coach without any comment on the 'old' (if 3 weeks is old) one!

Keep up the good work!

Annan nearly sounds like a done deal if one can believe what IK Start sporting director Svein Mathisen says in the article.

"It is not an ordinary trial he (Annan) will have at Blackburn." Mathisen told fvn.no. "They (Blackburn) just want to confirm what they have already seen".

I know it is heresay about Annan's abilities but, if what is being said is true then he and the Villanueva signing are helping me to begin the start of the process of getting around to the start of a somewhat relaxed feeling in the sense that the pieces are beginning to fall into place. But, i will reserve judgement for now. Not sure but, there really could be something here!!?!?

wouldnt go as far as "close to a done deal". i read the norwegian source, and it says rovers are keen, but no bids have been made. of course if we want him, all we have to do is pay. IK Start desperately need the money, so they will not stand in our way, but he might be a little pricey. but he is good. no doubt.
