Formerly Carew to Valencia for about ?6M - Chelsea furious, claims Mikel was their to sign - Mikel reportedly cancells his contract with is agent prior to signing for ManU - Agents, yes plural, flies to Norway to discuss matters with Mikel and Lyn -Meanwhile Mikel has been getting deaththreats from football fans and is in hiding. - Mikel is missing from the team meeting before todays cupgame.....Lyn is worried. He however shows up about an hour late. - 2 hours later Lyn calls the police to have them stop a car carrying Mikel and his agent. - Mikel is talking to his agent - Mikel now wants to go to Chelsea.... claims he was mislead by Lyn (to sign for ManU) I can't wait for next weeks episode...

north-rover Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 (edited) Rainmaker, I suppose your location indicator explains everything about why you are beeing totally off track. Don't forget your lunch box on Monday! Edited May 11, 2005 by north-rover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipl Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I don't know why the rest of you are being so negative to rainmaker. I am fascinated to find out what happens next in this Manc v Chelski scrap. The transfer thread is full of stories about players who will never play for Rovers- at least this one is relying on a Norwegian uncle's mate who cleans the loos at Lyn.

colin Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I don't know why the rest of you are being so negative to rainmaker. I am fascinated to find out what happens next in this Manc v Chelski scrap. Me too, Now that The Scum have nicked this boy wonder from under the noses of Chelsea, after the latter did the same to the former with Robben. It's like seeing the two people you hate the most squaring up for a fight. Marvellous stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipl Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 The lad has been reported as a missing person to the Norwegian police. With multiple "agents" each in line for a big fee depending on which club signs him, this could turn nasty if there are shady characters involved. Probably a storm in a teacup but who knows, Mikel could become as famous as Bosman if this leads to reform of the agents system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeeman Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 At least two different agents claims to have a deal with him, which is supposed to give each of them 30% of his wages at his new club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeeman Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 The latest is that he did not show up for training today, noone knows where he is, and Lyn are considering calling the police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 Also ManU-officials have apparently arrived in Olso to get Mikel to Englad ASAP. Originally he was to leave Lyn next January. Oh, and I'm sorry for starting a non-Rovers topic. Please continue to discuss Arsenals 7-0 defeat of Everton and Terry Venables' carreer.....

rover6 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 - Man Utd signs the player i the highest priced deal in Norway ever. Formerly Carew to Valencia for about ?6M Are saying that Man U have bought this guy for more than 6 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchocky Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 It's all in installments, not much much is actually changing hands up front. But in total it COULD amount to more than ?8 mill I think. Based on appearances and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) Yeah something like that. It is my understanding that the initial deal is in the ?3M region, rising to possibly about ?8M in the next few years. So it is reported by the media here at least The jist(that has not mentioned earlier) of the lastest link is that - Mikel in London to meet with Chelsea - Ferguson not comeing to Oslo anyway? - ManU and Lyn will press charges against the agents, both in Norway and in England Edited May 12, 2005 by Rainmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-K Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 What a seedy story. All these (presumably white and wealthy) men claiming to own a young lad from Africa. I get the feeling something really nasty is going to happen with this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speeeeeeedie Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Excuse me but what has this to do with Rovers? Unless of course he is Hughes' next transfer in. What an idiot you are. You can't talk Rovers 24/7, there'd be nothing left after about an hour. It is a football forum. This story is genuinely interesting and could have some dire consequences.
