14 from Norway to play U18's

It's great that we are looking to sign young talent but we need players now for the first team.

Could not agree more pal. Still have faith we will get the players in we need

I doubt he'll play in u18 league games. I think he needs to be 16 for an international transfer to be made unless his parents move over too.

Disagree with you. We need a strategy to move up the table and stay there. Doing the same as every other club won't cut it. The youth we're bringing in right now are a major step up from the youth of even a couple of years ago. What does this mean? Hovering between 7th and 10th for a couple more years and then pushing our way up to the top four. I absolutely believe in this strategy. It will work, but it will require patience. Most clubs don't have that and scream for the manager's head when the here and now isn't spectacular. Can we dare to be different?

[Cornish Steve]

oh so you don't want any more first team signings ?

 

I didn't say that, and every indication is that there will be. I have no problem at all, though, if we spend more than most other clubs on bringing in some of the world's most talented youngsters. We've been beating out other teams in that area recently, including ManU for this Norwegian guy.

[London Blue]

If he exists.

[markjazzbassist]

Valerenga are near top of the table so if he was playing for them we might have a decent prospect. Interesting signing.

[Cornish Steve]

so you do agree with me then ?

 

Not when you suggested we should be spending on the first team and not on youth players for the future, no. Otherwise, why would I bother to comment?

[Cornish Steve]

I don't know you have me baffled I said it's great that we are signing young talent I never said we shouldn't sign them I said we need first teamers now.

 

Then I misunderstood you. Sorry.

This is a fake story if I understand Norwegian at all: http://www.fvn.no/100Sport/fotball/england/Falsk-Twitter-konto-startet-rykteflom-om-fotballtalentet-Aleksander-15-577330_1.snd

 

This "Daniel Lambert", supposedly his agent, doesn't even exist. It was actually a made up Twitter account by his schoolmate. Aleksanders mother and Valerenga's youth development chief also deny the whole thing.

 

So bravo to Metro for believing a fake Twitter account.
