I heard that a handful of Vikings  moored their  ship in Harwich on Thursday  last week and were making their way  in the general direction of the Midlands on foot.  Must be close now!

They'd be here by now. Only took my mate two days to walk to QPR. He set out Thursday morning and got there for a 3 o'clock Saturday kick-off.

Ah yes, but modern roads for your mate versus no roads for the vikings.

Longboats up the Grand Union?

From the vid he does look like he can finish.  That said, he wont get anything like the time and room in the prem to be that prolific. The keeping will be far better too.

I think some of the keeping in the Prem was really poor last season. Only Guzan, Begovic and De Gea impressed me. Hart was up and down for him but still very good, but beyond that, there were some terrible displays.

Be very interesting how this kid gets on. Of all our signings so far, he intrigues me the most.


yes I agree oz
he intrigues me the most to
I know you tube can make anyone look good, but you cant pretend to have close ball control and good technique if you haven't,
 he looks really impressive with some of the stuff he can do, i'm not bothered about the long shots from outside the box, every footballer can put out a you tube video with them on, but his ability with the ball at his feet is quite exciting

the only problem I have is if he really is a good prospect how come no one else is bothered about him and he is costing only 1.2 mill, I mean that's loose change now in the football world

Plus he's raping and pillaging his way down here too. That takes time out of your day.

Makes you feel any better Dortmund have been seriously interested but are seeing him more as a replacement for the Lev, who is now staying. So there is interest from elsewhere.

I think you're all missing the point here a bit, if they landed in Harwich they've probably come up through Cambridge, to Peterborough and across through Leicester and Coventry...

So has anyone checked the Peterborough outer ring road, you could get stuck on that for days if you're not careful.

Maybe they got to Coventry and decided to turn back.

Google translate gets it bang on with one paragraph from that:

Quote
Both Nicklas Helenius' and this agent Mads Bach Lund have had their mobiles switched off this morning. Definitely because of the flight, but now the two in place in England's second largest city, where Aston Villa reigns.
