    Heard a few witterings, that we are the club in talks with Vegard Forren.

    Would be a tidy signing if so.

    Seen a few Norwegian fellas saying its us, and Peach is also unsure that Forren will end up at FFC.

    Of all the CBs I've seen mentioned on this thread, I think Forren would be my favourite. I'm not sure we'll get him though.

    Including JAKB, Ogbonna and Astori?

    I don't actually know how good Forren is so I'll take your word for it if you consider him better than that lot.

    I can't see it being us as the unnamed club. Out of interest does any one know anything about him?, I've never heard of him.

    Don't think we'll get Forren. I'd prefer Astori anyway.

    Greedy? Moi?

    Considering his supposed price, yeah, as £4m is a bargain for him. Also Scandinavians always seem to adapt really well in the Prem.

    Pros: Pretty tall and good in the air. Looks a good tackler as well. Left-footed, which would be useful. From watching a bit of YouTube footage, it looks like he's quite good at picking a forward pass, so he could catch opponents off-guard with that. Norwegian, can probably speak perfect English.

    Cons: Maybe a bit slow.

    :( Nope. Definitely not as quick as Ogbonna or Biyik, and probably slower than Astori as well, though I haven't seen the latter play yet.

    **** that. Next target?

    Seriously though, sounds pretty good. On FM, he plays left back - not saying this is definitely true because I'm not an idiot :p but, if he does, it'd be pretty useful to avoid putting Fox back in should Shaw have to miss games.

    In this video, he seems to be playing at left-back in a couple of the clips:

    We could do a swap deal for him with De Ridder and Fox.
