efc1111 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) There's some Twitter talk that he's flown in to train and have talks with us. He's 20 and a left-sided forward from the lower leagues in Sweden. Lindberg apparently retweeted a tweet that read: "According to reliable sources Norrby striker Chriss Lindberg fly to England tomorrow to sign a contract with Everton U21!" There's also a conversation with an Everton fan on his Twitter timeline at https://twitter.com/ChrissLindberg @ChrissLindberg Welcome to Everton!@iPauloxD thanks! but nothing is finished yet, but if the chance comes, honestly it's hard to say no! #massiveclub The obligatory Youtube video: Edited August 23, 2014 by efc1111 Quote
thoward18 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Definitely looks like a nice little player. I assume the fee for him would be minimal so why not take a flier on him? According to Wikipedia, Norrrby IF was in the fourth division of Sweden last year and got promoted to the third division. Even still, he only joined them at the end of 2013 and has played 7 games. Two in 2014. Prior to that, he was with a team in the sixth division. Of Sweden. How the hell did our scouts even find this guy? Edited August 23, 2014 by thoward18 Quote
Peter H Posted August 23, 2014 Report Posted August 23, 2014 Hell, ive played in div 7 this year. (And ill be 39 in november) so if he was in div. 6 last year im not far off the pace. Looks like he is fast, can shoot with both feet and is strong. Im guessing that you could afford the fee thoward18. Quote
Brett Angel Posted August 23, 2014 Report Posted August 23, 2014 the defending is laughable though. mayaswell go around the cut out plastic walls they have in training. Quote
