Fredrik

I'd very much like to see him in the Premiership. If that is not to be I guess Spain would suit him best. Someone mentioned that EFC doesn't sign the biggest names. Still Everton builds a solid team, which I believe will appeal to Rasmus. Difficult one for me to compare him with others but his distinguishing qualities with free kicks, passing and his shot would tell me Beckham. Then he has got such an eye for the game and will really do the hard work quietly. Within the U-21 Swedish squad he was rated as the best player technically and tactically. We have our return leg tomorrow against Debrecen in CL qualifying, which will be on Eurosport2. Not 100% sure though if that is also shown in UK....?

Thank you for that Rubecula! The forum looks alright in all its redecorated glory.....!!! Rasmus Elm is one of my favourite players ever so I will keep a close watch on his whereabouts. In case you'll sign him, you will see a massive team player to start with. As he will gain confidence and grow within the team, you'll see talent as big as anyone. The money will not talk (although it is important as it is for anyone...) in his case. It will be decided on where he will get the best chances to develop as football player.

As I am a big Kalmar FF fan and have been following Rasmus for some time now I can add that the Dutch league is not good enough for Rasmus. I'd say Premier League or Spain is what he would aim for. I doubt Holland is even considered by Rasmus. He is probably the biggest talent that has come out of Sweden since Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He might not be quickest on the pitch and will need more strength, but he is still young and he always somehow manages to create time for himself in almost any situation. He's got a fantastic right foot and a very long throw. Looking at his development ever since he dominated the midfiled against FC Copenhagen in December 2005, he is a right bargain at £5 million. Even though he will receive a big share of the transfer sum, this guy will probably look more at which club suits him best and where he can grow even better. If you haven't seen this already, some of the goals he has scored. His passing foot is even better.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9y8g4aZHF0
