We'd be the perfect stepping stone for him to either ruin his career or play well for a year or two and move on to greener pastures (if we remain in our status quo). Not that we'd afford him if we don't get bought since £16m is £4m more than our entire transfer budget this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I saw him play was when he was at IK Start in the Norwegian top division. He was an attacking midfielder then. Captain too. At 16. No idea what he's like as a defender. Hope this helps.

Probably around mid-table PL quality with potential to be better in a harder league (or fall through in a harder league). Potential is there. Big and strong yet agile. Sometimes played as a playmaking DM in the national side. Could compare him a bit to Colo really, but taller. Time will tell if he can do as well in a big league but he's taken all the steps up well so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Disappointing lack of youtube scouting vids of him here Looks like hes fond of breaking out of the defensive line and starting attacks - could be useful in a brucieball team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Looks a really unique talent for a centre back. Fantastic ability on the ball. Would be sickening to see all that ability completely wasted in a Bruce team. That is not the type of defender we should be signing under Steve Bruce. Would be pointless.

cubaricho Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Would love to see him, Lejune, and Schar as the back three. Edited May 26, 2021 by cubaricho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Fuck off man, could you see that happening in our team? Shelvey passes back to Ritchie who passes to Ajer who gets pissed off with passing across the back 4, runs past Shelvey, to the centre circle and lays off a pass for ASM to finish the run off. Get real, we’ll get Alex Bruce turning his back and passing to Dubravka. Edited May 26, 2021 by Stifler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played his entire youth career as an AM before being converted to a CB/DM when he was around 17/18, made him a lot more offensive and comfortable on the ball than your average big and tall CB.

Yorkie Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Just to point out, cos I can't resist: getting deals done quickly is yet another thing the shithead's predecessor never had the benefit of. Makes a huge difference. Such constraints Bruce has on him. Competitive budgets and transfers delivered promptly? Dunno how he manages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Still at a loss as to how our reported budget is so low. Usual Ashley antics? If it's really only 12-17m then we're pretty much going to be outspent by everyone including the promoted teams. Loss of revenue due to covid didn't just affect us, but would happily bet thats the excuse when we're scraping around for free transfers on deadline day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 According to reports, Palace will be letting Townsend, Van Anhold, Cahill among other leave on frees. I’d take all 3 for a season instead of spunking £8m on a new CB. Spend the full transfer budget on a new CM and try and get a striker in on loan.
