ads Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 After all the talk of Annan on this board I did keep a close eye on him during the world cup and was very impressed. Apart from being typically dynamic and athletic, what impressed me most was his intelligent use of the ball. Keeps it simple and does very well playing short forward passes to ignite the teams forward play. Really liked him. Despite what I already knew and liked about him myself, upon reading that 'in a nutshell' description, it just makes me realise that our chances of signing him are slim.

Kaizero Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 No way in hell Rosenborg would sell Annan for £3m. No way in hell, that's as nonsensical as them wanting £10m. They'll be wanting £5-6m no doubt based on his good WC, and they have no financial issues which would force them to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Assulin was a great prospect two years ago, but has had a couple bad seasons and to be honest when I have watched him he's been pants. Lots of trickery but no end product and always running into blind alleys. Surprised he doesn't have a team though. Arsenal, Chelsea, even Madrid... were sniffing around him a year ago. Maybe he's waiting for a big club offer that probably won't arrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guessed he'd 'done a Dos Santos' in that sense. Just thought on a free he might be worth a gamble in terms of reviving a career. Can't be demanding high wages surely. Wigan turned A. Valencia from a Villareal reject into an £18 million player, it's the kind of model we should be following. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I haven't seen him play, but apparently has had an incredible season with Villarreal B, and has been one of the top players of that division.

Guest geordienorway Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 No way in hell Rosenborg would sell Annan for £3m. No way in hell, that's as nonsensical as them wanting £10m. They'll be wanting £5-6m no doubt based on his good WC, and they have no financial issues which would force them to sell. Annan's contract runs to december 2011. Rosenborg would never risk letting him go for nothing, and will look to cash in as soon as possible. If Rosenborg fail to start a bidding war, Hughton is in with a serious shout if he makes a £4m-offer. Rosenborg need to get £1,5-2m from player sales in 2010, and when no one bids significant money for Demidov they may need to let Annan go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosenborg need to get £1,5-2m from player sales in 2010, and when no one bids significant money for Demidov they may need to let Annan go. They've already turned down £1.5m for Demidov from Real Sociedad, and he only have four months left on his contract. Hoftun's also said an offer for Annan needs to be too good to refuse as he's more valuable to them as a player than a scrappy transfer fee, especially with a CL campaign coming up. Also, Rosenborg never includes a potential run in Europe in their budget, so they only have to sell for £2.1 million if they don't make it into either the CL or the EL. Also, they've already sold Marek Sapara which went towards covering that part of the budget. That also goes to show how they don't get pushed around, as they turned down £3m for Sapara in 2009 and let him go for closer to £1.3m in his last year as they valued his addition to the team over the potential loss of waiting to sell him.

The bid Rosenborg rejected was 1,2 mill NOK. Mate of mine in the RBK academy says it was close to 12m NOK but that Rosenborg does not want to let him go before they can get in a replacement in August rather than not wanting to take the money as they want to have their best players in the CL qualifiers, and qualifying for the CL equals more money than from selling Demidov for less a month or so later.
