folkdevil Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 This is just a hunch but what about Henning going for John Carew to come to the club on a short term basis? He's without a club at the moment and could provide a stop gap until Leon Best is fit. I know we had him as a youngster on trial and its clear that a target man is needed alongside Jordan Rhodes. Henning has just said at his press conference that we've tightened up in defence but need to capitalise upfront.This was something Eric Black saw too. He's a former International team mate too and I've found this old interview from when Berg played for Glasgow Rangers.The only drawback might be the wages. http://www.heraldscotland.com/beware-of-big-bad-john-says-berg-1.891675

jim mk2 Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Big lump of a centre forward who has never quite lived up to his promise and has been injury prone. Might score goals in the Championship though with decent wingers and crosses.
SergioPeter89 Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 No, no, no...NO! He is far to busy with making tv-commercials atm. I really doubt that Berg will bring in players that are 30+

Puffsan Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Please god no. Carew here over my dead body. If someone thinks murphy is a waste of wages then wait for carew. Even big Sam couldnt find him useful in his hoofball west-ham he is way over the top. Besides I think he is busy making commercials for male purses
booth Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Decent wingers and crosses are something we don´t have. This. We have strikers, we just don't have anyone to supply them at the moment.
Emge Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 A little tip: John Carew is from Lørenskog, the same small town as Henning Berg - so watch this space!
Neil Weaver Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 What's the situation with Goodwillie? Even though he's back from Palace, he can't play for us till January (I don't know if that's something that the League impose or is indicative of our folk 'in charge' of sorting out the loan).
Steve Moss Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Even though he's back from Palace, he can't play for us till January (I don't know if that's something that the League impose or is indicative of our folk 'in charge' of sorting out the loan). Then spend the time getting him in shape. We have two months to turn Goodwillie into a machine. I hope they get on it.
Waggy76 Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 The spend the time getting him in shape. We have two months to turn Goodwillie into a machine. I hope they get on it. Better off , getting rid in Jan along with a few more ! Not good enough !
Andy Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Can't see any harm in it. He's a decent forward and will also score & create goals. If he came in until the transfer window on smallish wages, I'd be quite pleased.
DannyKeg Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Henning actually recommended Carew when he was a youth team player, he was at Rovers for a trial, but was not taken on.
bennyboyt11 Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 It's been a long time since that recommendation... I wouldn't read into it.
alexanders Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 A BIG NO ! Has had a good career, but Not now !
Salgado Is A Hero Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Please god no. Carew here over my dead body. If someone thinks murphy is a waste of wages then wait for carew. Even big Sam couldnt find him useful in his hoofball west-ham he is way over the top. Besides I think he is busy making commercials for male purses Yea he wasn't very good at West Ham was he....for the big wages it wouldn't be worth it. Even though he's back from Palace, he can't play for us till January (I don't know if that's something that the League impose or is indicative of our folk 'in charge' of sorting out the loan). It's the rules....ridiculous but we couldn't do anything about it. Better off , getting rid in Jan along with a few more ! Not good enough ! If it was up to you we'd get rid of 95% of our squad and that's just stupid.
LWX Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 We should be looking for players that, as well as getting us up, will be competitive in the prem!
thenodrog Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 We should be looking for players that, as well as getting us up, will be competitive in the prem! Speedie / Marcus Bent ?
Ossydave Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 It's a good job there's not a load of decent Norweigan players out there (no offence) or we'd be getting linked with them all, its silly.
Stuart Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Has this REALLY got to two pages on the back of a hunch??
s_simpson_9 Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Has this REALLY got to two pages on the back of a hunch?? We need a poll!
