SPECULATION - Erik Huseklepp

[brendywendy]

[Ian Royal]

If Ideal or snowball think he's such a good bet, maybe they should email the club... no downside to it.

Well.. I've e-mailed them tonight.. don't know if they even read those sorts of mails, I'm sure they get enough of them.

I'm sure it does very little good. But you don't lose anything and it might just be of use.

We really need a decent striker to partner one of Hunt, Long or Church.

[1871 Royal]

This guy does look quite decent, and it would be a shame if we lost him to a Premiership club!

[glass half full]

I thought he seemed to be off the radar and maybe cheap but it looks like that's not the case

Norway star Erik Huseklepp issues come and get me plea to Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce


Huseklepp is ready to quit Norwegian football
Blackburn Rovers target Erik Huseklepp admits he is keen to quit Norwegian football for a step up in January.
The 6ft 2in striker has caught the eye with Norway, scoring twice against France in August and following it up with the only goal as his country beat Portugal last month.
Huseklepp has hardly been prolific for struggling Brann this season - scoring seven in 26 league games - but is eyeing a move abroad to give him a new impetus as the campaign in Scandinavia draws to a close.
'It's no secret that I want to move, but it is not something I think about all the time.' said Huseklepp. 'I used to, and I let it affect my performance so I just had to drop it.'
Liverpool, Newcastle, Stoke, Blackpool and Nottingham Forest have all been linked with the 26-year-old, but Blackburn are believed to be showing the most interest.
French club Le Mans had wanted to sign him on loan in January but he insists he that any move should be permanent.
'It was never considered, I don't feel that I am in a position where I need to go on loan,' he said. 'Additionally, it's a poor club and you can only imagine what the options would have been.'
Huseklepp has just one year left on his contract and should be available for about £1.4million.

Oh dear!

Hard to imagine us spending 1.4 million (if that really is the price)
but if he was half that price I think he'd be a great investment, as
I fancy he'd be awesome in the CCC and he'd either take us up or
be worth 2-3 M in a year's time

[Mr Angry]

With all of those Premiership teams supposedly after him, I can't really imagine that he would want to come to a Championship club.

And even if he did, his agent would talk him out of it pretty sharpish, as, no doubt, the agent will know that wages and signing on fees from a PL club (and therefore his cut) will be much better than that offered by a Championship club.

True but he might warm the bench in the Prem and be a star in the CCC, THEN get a Prem first-team place

[Ian Royal]

He'll only come to us if none of those prem links are real or solidify into a real deal. In which case comnig here wouldn't be a bad idea. We're known to have a tight budget and to have produced plenty of Prem quality players recently.

He could get aclimatised to the English game and be far easier to notice for Prem clubs, whilst having a chance of getting there without even being signed by a Prem club.

Won't happen, or if it does he'll be a dud of course.

[IcelandicStokie]

Huseklepp is too good for Reading Im afraid. He'll join a the top 4 leagues come january.

[Ferris]

In talks with Celtic apparently. Not quite one of the top 4 leagues

Ay, the SPL is much underrated

[Snowball]

Terrible move for him.
He'll get the shit kicked out of him for 6 months, then suffer some kind of career threatening injury, never be the same again, and disappear into obscurity.

do you mean then join Reading?

[Ian Royal]

He'll do well in Scotland from the look of him. If he'd be good enough for us he'd definitely score goals in the SPL.

[Snowball]

Huseklepp signs for Serie A team Bari, for 1.7 million Euros.

What's that in real money? about 1.2 Mill?

[T.R.O.L.I.]

A little over £1.4M

[pea]

Pompey are looking to sign him this window.

[roadrunner]

Pompey have a agreed a fee. They're building a decent team again for a club with little money.

[pea]

Cotterill is annoyed with his agent because he promised to tell a fan site when the deal had been agreed

[Who Moved The Goalposts?]

Pompey have a agreed a fee. They're building a decent team again for a club with little money.

Little money? I'd say they're spending quite a lot.

Not bad for a club that shafted all it's suppliers for 20p in the £ over 5 years around a year ago (not to mention charitable organisations) after building up mountainous debts they knew they could never repay.

Yet here they are, competing at the same level as - and now outspending considerably - a club like Reading who live within their means and try to do their business the decent way.

Exactly.
