Ashton, didn`t you pay attention in the Norwegian classes?
Skjelbred answers a fan asking what his favourite team is and he answers Newcastle.

Tom Toon

Gulsvik has an incredible shot but not much more….yet anyway.
Sokolowski and BjÃ¸rn Helge Riise isnt good enough. Ruud is a good player and is almost equally good with both feet. But not quite good enough for us imo.
Mounir Hamoud plays for my team in Norway (BodÃ¸/ Glimt) and has been converted from right winger to rb. He is pure class and i bet Obafemi couldnt keep up with his pace. Very strong one on one and likes to attack.

Tom Toon: Gulsvik is a decent prospect, his shooting is incredible. Sokolowski, Ruud and Riise are shite. Rather go for Vadim Demidov. Pure class!

Seems he`s not ready for the PL yet,according to most of our Scandinavian fans, but a prospect.
Think we got enough prospects at the club at present, what we need is a good defensive midfielder like a Veloso or Senna, someone to run the team, a decent BIG striker(not the Swiss kid) /a centre half and acouple of full backs.

If you remove the last three I would agree. Huseklepp was good but after recieving a HUUUUGE payrise to stay with Brann he`s been crap. Haestad is mediocre at best and Fredheim Holm have certain skills, but no end product.
But there are more exiting talents over here.
Vegard Forren, Mounir Hamoud, Tore Reginiussen, Vadim Demidov, Alanzinho to name a few.

Hey Ed it can’t be hard for you to trace the email address on comment 2 and tell this site who it was, or at least that I did not make the comment. Also for others like the twerp that stole Hadjis name for example! Would’nt happen to be 51 times would it?

Hi this is the REAL tam toon- some toss pot has put my name down to that total bull in comment 2. Check my grammar I would never put there when it should have been their. So the thick f-ing prick that put that, is the same f-ing prick that has stole hadji’s name and others. I will not apologise as I do not need to. Habib Beye is the best signing for ages and I would never ever start a rumour. If you look back i gave you Zamblera, no one had heard of! I met him in the Nuffield on deadline day. So believe that mackem wanker if you like. Thanks to lads like tom toon and regs who know I would not have made that comment. Beware lads it could be you next!

The thing is we dont need another small striker.

To Ben_BKK, post 85:
He’s Fulham quality, not more. Would never compete with Beye.

I am a norweigan and follow the norweigan league very closely. There is no doubt Skjelbred is the hottest prospect we’ve had in years along with Tarek Elionussi which is a player we absolutely should sign!

He is a good player, hard working, technical and good passing aswell. He plays right or centre / attacking midfield. I think he will envolve a lot during the next year and then move abroad.
He has been unlucky with injuries, and that has stalled his progress til now. He does, however recover quickly and seem to recapture his previous form in very little time.
He was great against Chelsea in what eventually was Mourinho’s last match in charge of the London club.
As a norwegan I say go get him, but he’ll need at least another year or two before he can play regular premier league football. There is no doubt he is quality for any bottom half team in the premier league, and he may very well make it in the more ambithious teams like Newcastle.
A starting prize of about Â£2mill, increasing to about Â£4mill on appearances would be fair, concidering his injury stats.

His club, Rosenborg has, like Newcastle been under performing over the last years after 13 concecutive league victories. They have the players needed but underperform greatly. Their new coach, HamrÃ¨n seems to be the man that can sort things out and bring the club back to the top, but that might be a problem as they will most likely try and keep their best players and have some concistency till the season ends in october / november.
I think he will be cheaper to us come January, and he’ll even be a better player in my opinion. I also doubt he will transfer at all in this window.

But serious, go get Tarek Elionussi NOW!! He’ll be ours for Â£3mill!!
