Bloody repeat

Has he been linked with us or is this a random 'throw a name out there' post?

Pretty excited by this one. Signing randomers from abroad that no-one has ever heard of is infinitely more interesting than signing Championship rejects like Todd Kane, Sean Maguire etc. even if they might still turn out to be shit. Been a while since we had a Dane as well.

I knew Mark and Doug would get us to the Torp.

He’s no finished, he’s 24

Linked by that same account. 16k followers and the journalist they're quoting has nearly 30k so more trustworthy than a random fan account but who knows

Doug King - "We have Scandinavian Vik at home"
Scandinavian Vic at home:

Looks like Midtjylland (top Danish club) sold him to his current club for €400k last summer

 

[Essexrobbie]

Very right footed. Only uses his left to dribble a bit. Mind you, Messi is all left foot and it doesn't seem to have hindered his career.

He looks decent enough and can only improve under MR and AV. Give the lad a chance I say. He may well surprise quite a few

 

[baldy]

Does him coming in mean we'll go back to having one up Torp?

The Sun Football has 606k followers tbf so yeah, who knows.

If he's a Victor he'd better be good if he does sign

Currently playing at a level similar to Sunday league. 4 clubs in 2 seasons. We got 15 million for Hamer, where is the other 14 million? Not sure why people are so buzzing by this.

I remember when Brighton bought in their current manager and all Graeme Sounds could say that we " he doesn't know our league _. Yes like Fat Sam and co.

There's a story about it in the Cov Tel & other sites - so I'd say he's linked to us a fair bit

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

There's a player to develop there definitely. He seems to have a lot of good attributes. It's probably exactly the kind of player we should be signing. A few of these kind of transactions with the Hamer money and the club continues to go in the right direction I think.

Just to manage expectations though, the Norwegian league is probably around a high league 2 level. It's also a lot more physical over here (part of that is also due to the artificial pitches they use, making the art of the tackle a bit different). It might take a little time for him to get up to speed.

Look forward to seeing him play. Will be good to have someone in the midfield that can improve us going forward.

Come on mate, most Scandinavian players come from, you guessed it, Scandinavian clubs. There's a long history of them performing well in this country, it's exactly the kind of market we should be looking at.
Maybe the remaining funds are being held for a striker, or a wide forward, or even an AM if O'Hare decides to sod off.

I'm not sure he is on this one, he gets down sometimes. We gotta cheer him up.

Only fucking about mate! Exactly the sort of signing, I agree. Just wish he had a slightly better pedigree and played more at a better level. I guess he's a data signing, like Sakamoto.

To be honest I don't know what I'm doing myself half the time!

I reckon it averages at about league 1 level, theres some decent teams. The likes of Bodo and Molde regularly compete against big European teams in Champions League and Europa league. I take the point though that the lower half of the league will be fairly poor.

I don’t know, circuitry? Sorry, who am I speaking to?
