Dave Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Toon going with the Flo It's being reported in their homeland that Newcastle have invited two Norwegian teenagers to travel to Tyneside for trials. Defender Even Hovland and utility player Per Egil Flo are both 18 years old and on the books of Sogndal, who play in the second tier of Norwegian football. Flo is a relative of former mackem plank Tore Andre Flo. (Thanks to NUFC.com reader Erlend Arnekleiv for info) Any thoughts from our Scandinavian members?

Unlucky Luque Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hope we sign them if they're any good. We might get more media attention in Norway. Also good to see us snapping up some youngsters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teepee Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 i've never heard of them - but again no one wants to watch norwegian football ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trizone Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 They have been decent I guess, but then again, it's the second tier of Norwegian football:p Neither has really stood out from the crowd, which at 18, one might have hoped. I honestly can't see them beeing offered a contract, and my guess is that they are here because of some agent's recommandations and not our own scouts. Can't hurt us to have them over for a week of training though, worst that can happen is they get sent back home without a contract Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errol82 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Even Hovland is a decent prospect for the future. Good with the ball at his feet, and strong tackles. Needs a few years, until he is, eventually, ready for the PL. Per Egil Flo seems to be somewhat prone to injuries. He's got a good left foot, with probably LB as his best position. No harm in bringing those two lads over for a weeks training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I think they're decent for their age, dunno if they'll ever grow to be PL material in the future though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
