TRon Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 It was supposedly Keegan who pulled the plug on Skjelbred at any rate. United tracking Norwegian youngster Forren Sep 23 2008 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle NEWCASTLE United are tracking Norwegian youngster Vegard Forren despite the clubs uncertain future. Owner Mike Ashley may well be open to offers for United. But while he is still in charge, the clubs scouting network is still in full operation, with Dennis Wise, Tony Jimenez and Jeff Vetere sticking to their policy of scouring the globe for the worlds best youngsters. Forren, who is 20, starred for Molde in a 3-1 away win against Lyn in Norways Tippeligaen at the weekend but his side are struggling in 10th place of a 14-team division. A United scout was in the crowd on Sunday night, but the Magpies are not the only side keeping tabs on the Norway Under-21 international. Sampdoria, West Bromwich and AC Milan are all keen on the young gun who many Norwegian football experts believe has a bright future ahead of him. Yet Molde will be looking for a fee of up to £4m for the seven-times capped Under-21 international. Meanwhile, it was claimed today that Kevin Keegan pulled the plug on a deal to bring Norwegian playmaker Per Ciljan Skjelbred to Tyneside. The Chronicle had reported that United had been looking at Skjelbred in early August before strengthening their interest in the player as the clock ticked closer to transfer deadline day. The Rosenborg star who is desperate for a move to the Premier League was left heartbroken on transfer deadline day after KK told Wise he didnt want to sign the player. A source close to the player in Rosenborg told the Chronicle: Everything was apparently set, and neither Skjelbred nor Rosenborg was given a reason from the Newcastle camp for the collapse of the transfer, just that it would no longer go through. This was strange news for Rosenborg as the fee had already apparently been agreed. All of this had made Skjelbred very depressed the next day in training as he was just a few hours away from going over to Newcastle for a medical. Why was it claimed today? "A source close to the player in Rosenborg told the Chronicle.." He didn't claimed anything about Keegan. How do you know, were you there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE5 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Quite a few of them I think. He was using his position to be able to say yes or no to players so that he could try and force the boards hand near the end of the window to push for someone like Henry, even though they've pointed out to him from day one that this isn't the sort of route the club want to be taking and instead push for quality players under with at least some sort of long term future. haha, what a load of tripe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the principle and chain of command that matters. Manager chooses players, chairman and board back their appointment. Its really that easy. The manager then carries the can, or gets the credit. We realise that you can't hire and fire boards, but thats the way it goes. Some clubs have good directors and others have shit ones and are stuck with them. Unless you stop going to games that is. Generally, the attendances and level of expectation at a club tells you what a board generates for its club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV2 TV2 Zebra TV2 Sport Then you should know Skjelbred isn't shite if you'd watch games Not saying Keegan wasn't in the right of pulling the plug on the transfer if he did not get to choose Skjelbred as a signing himself. I'll always think the manager should choose their own players. But you saying Skjelbred is shite is just you wanting to be original by disagreeing with the general opinion by both football fans (that know of him, of course) and football "experts" on the player.

Bar staying too long on the ball there's really nothing bad to say about him at the moment, and there'd only be room for improvement. And any Norwegian who follows the Tippeligaen that doesn't probably have anti-Rosenborg glasses on would say the same, or I reckon you think every top european team that have been scouting him have been doing that for no reason and that basically every Norwegian, and even European football experts that have mentioned him as one of Europe's hottest talents, not to mention pretty much everyone else following Norwegian football are in the wrong and you are in the right?

Thespence Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 So all the players that didn't join the club was down to Kev. The good players that joined the club in the summer & I only see 2 of them so far (lets hope that improves as time goes by) Colo & Jonas were not down to Keegan. This is a great systeam for the ED(F) he gets zero flack for failure to sign players, credit for players that do sign, keeps his job & gets few days in Dubai all on the company slate as well. You can see why he quit Leeds for a job that is a "move away from day-to-day football management", apart from people talking about his height, his eyes & his regional identity, its a cushy number.

Do you have any idea how damaging a broken leg is for the development of a young player? First he needs to refind the form, then he needs to start progressing and learning again. He stayed in status quo in 2006 and started improving again around the middle of the season in 2007, and now he's been one of the best players in an otherwise lackluster Rosenborg team this season, not to mention one of the best players in the league itself this season. We don't really need to debate it though, I mean, it's your opinion against mine and most of the "football experts" and so on. There will be no answer to this discussion until the player's career is over and we can see how its been, really. Not to mention how silly this discussion must look to the other members of the forum seeing how it's off-topic about a player that did not end up signing for the club anyhow. We're starting to make Harry-Norway look good, or well, that's an overstatement, but still. Let's just agree to disagree and move on, eh? I don't think he's shite, you think he is. Let's just leave it at that for now, until this might become on-topic again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow the Tippeligaen and watch many a Rosenborg game, and his improvement is obvious, if he was a real talent 2-3 years ago he'd pretty much waltz straight into almost any Premier League team bar the top four at the moment, I'd bet my testies on it. Bar staying too long on the ball there's really nothing bad to say about him at the moment, and there'd only be room for improvement. And any Norwegian who follows the Tippeligaen that doesn't probably have anti-Rosenborg glasses on would say the same, or I reckon you think every top european team that have been scouting him have been doing that for no reason and that basically every Norwegian, and even European football experts that have mentioned him as one of Europe's hottest talents, not to mention pretty much everyone else following Norwegian football are in the wrong and you are in the right? So thats why he still plays for Rosenborg. I think you have a expensive pair of Rosenborg glasses. He's just only recovered from his leg injury. He's had a long way back and he's gotten back. He'll be gone in January and you'll end up having to eat your words, just as I won't have to chop off my testies, that's all I have to say 'til then as we'd only be arguing over something we don't really need to argue about until one is proven wrong by what happens. I'll not rule out the possibility it could be me who'd be wrong, but I'll remain very sure I'm not until then. Just recovered? The leg injury against Olympiakos was back in november 2005. Do you have any idea how damaging a broken leg is for the development of a young player? 10 years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmk Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Everyone keeps saying IF ffs. Fact is in Keegans own statement said he was undermined! That meant he wasn't allowed to do his job and he was working with players he didnt want. What kind of manager would take that? Doesn't matter if the players were good or not, he didnt have final say. Did you bother to read anyone else's opinion, or did you just start spouting this s*** thoughtlessly...? Keegan has lied repeatedly, why do you believe him? Of course he's not going to be honest and say "Yeah, if I hadn't have been so pig-headed and actually gotten on with the job I was hired to do, then I'd still be boss of NUFC" Stumbled across this, it's an interesting read actually.. but an apology would be nice like.
