http://www.nettavisen.no/sport/fotball/article3608995.ece Former Norwegian International Rune Bratseth express his concerns about Forren not playing for Saints to VF's agent - Jim Sobakken. Main comments from the agent are: DTLW
If his agent doesn't have a problem with Forren not playing and in fact defends Saints, then it sounds like everything is okay.

Was pleased to read comments....as said, not what I expected to read. I would hate Forren to be a mistake (for his sake and ours) so hope things do progress for him.
If I'm honest, I am disapointed he hasn't even managed a signle appearance. He has been here long enough. For every game that passes, it just seems that something is wrong. 3 months is more than enough time get 'fit' considering pre season is around 6-8 weeks. Especially as he doesn't even make the match squad some weeks, given how poor Fox has been and Shaw's virus, I was baffled to see him not in the sqaud for the West Ham game. I suspect all is not well.
I thought it was a myth that he could play LB? If so then understandable that he hasn't got in the team, since his arrival we have been quite good. And as mentioned above when it has taken so long to get our defence organised why would we jeopardise that at this stage? When signed he was labelled "A CB for the future".
Whenever they show him on the sidelines he doesn't look very fit, tbh. Maybe he could go a full 90 for some sides but not for a stickler about top fitness as MP appears to be.
He may be fit now, but he has to be better than the players selected. He may have had a chance if we were doing badly, but that is not the case. Mauricio probably considers that now is not the time to take risks.
he was absolutely awful against arsenal u21's and played the whole game so i dont think fitness is an issue Seems to me like one of cortese's buys seeing as adkins deffo didnt sign him. How has cortese's signings been so far? Guly Mayuka and Forren.......
Clyne, Rodriguez, Ramirez, Boruc... Come on, we've got scouts who find players, Cortese just writes the cheques. Many other clubs operate this way, only on football manager does the manager have complete control.
In a way, his agent being this calm about him not having one minute in the first team, could mean he's not that special.......& they know it. But, hopefully we get 3 points on Saturday, then we can have a tinker in the last games to see if we can find out anything about a few fringe players. One things for sure, there's going to be a lot of movement in the summer.
Not convinced there will be a lot of movement in the summer HR, I'm expecting 3-4 signings for a similar outlay (£25m-£30m) as last summer if I'm honest. Admittedly, there's a few out of contract and one or two we may sell, but that's from what's currently quite a big squad. Got to remember to leave room for the youth to come through too.
Such an idiot tactic. "Cortese signings are crap" before listing a few duds and ignoring all the major hits. I mean, obviously Cortese, not being a football man, has basically nothing to do with transfers, but even if he does, and picks the team, and organises training, we've gone from the bottom end of League One to 12th in the Premier League in two years. If Cortese is picking the team and making the transfers that made that happen, then **** it, long may it continue!
