Forren was really highly rated in Norway a few years ago but he's struggled at both Southampton and Brighton.  I'm not sure about this one.

Presumably he's joining on a free, won't be on big wages and will be used as back up, so it doesn't seem like a huge risk.

The 4th choice centre half? Presuming we sign another to knock Bakerbauer down to 3rd.

Looking at the photo, he appears to be cross-eyed. That can't make being a footballer any easier.

We are about to sign Vegard Forren.  A free agent and Norwegian player.  Centre Half.

I'm getting too old for this.  Either that or I'm simply going blind.

I'm confused as to what is the difference between this thread and "Summer Sells, Buys, Loans, Bomb Squaders".

I think this one has an actual potential signing in it.
