Not to sure about Jo Inge Berget to be honest, have always been a talented football player. Never had the big breakthrough and flopped the last time he played in England. He has been decent for Malmø tough. I am mainly against this possible transfer because of his age. Best memory of Berget is his two goals (one was ruled own goal later) against Croatia in a 2-0 win in the Euro qualification in 2015, he was excellent in that game.

Erik Botheim has been mentioned a few times in this thread, he is now in Italy and will probably sign for Salernitana.

People need to calm down, we missed out on one player? Who knows how wanted he actually was? Let's judge when the window is shut. The team was back today? JDT have assessed the squad and now know what he needs. Considering all the leagues he has played in, I bet that he have more contacts in the game than any prior Rovers manager.

No problem for a Cessna Citation, just need 3,500 ft of runway or so to take off and land.

It came from London, just stayed on the ground in Malmø for 1 hour. Surely picking someone up?

No, I thank it was Neophox who claimed that.

They are playing him as a striker, so he is not scoring those from a midfield position. But interesting player anyway.

We can cross off one of the players from the list I mentionend earlier with regards to the "Broughton/Glimt connection" ; Philip Zinckernagel have left Watford and English football and joined Olympiacos. Don't know if he ever was on Broughton's list though.

Well if we could get Ola Solbakken I would be very impressed and surprised. There is no secret that Jose Mourinho is a great admirerer, and there were some reports weeks ago that Solbakken were close to joining Rome.

Some other Broughton - Bodø/Glimt connections they could look at: Fredrik Bjørkan - leftback, Hertha Berlin, 23 years old. Not regular. Patrick Berg - midfield, Lens, 24 years old. Not regular. Philip Zinckernagel, midfield, Watford, 27 years old. Was on loan to Forest last season. Erik Botheim, striker, no club, 22 years old. Last played for Krasnodar in Russia. And this is a long shot for many reasons: Mathias Normann, midfield, Rostov, 26 years old. Was on loan to Norwich last season. Normann left Glimt the same year as Broughton started there.

Yeah I did not know what of those videos to post to be honest, there were a lot! Price range, transfermarket says 4.5 mill euros. He lost his place during the spring, only played 17 minutes of the semi-final and final of the Conference League.

If JDT is looking at players from the Dutch league, I hope he will be looking at Marcus Holmgren Pedersen. He is our first choice rb at the national team, but currently out of favour at Fenenyoord. Other norwegian players that he might look at: Jørgen Strand Larsen, striker 22 years old. 14 goals from 32 matches for Groningen. Håkon Evjen, midfielder 22 years old, plays at AZ Alkmaar. Broughton will know this guy from Bodø/Glimt.

Here is a small piece from an article in the local paper in Bodø, sorry for the bad translation. Despite the odds, Bodø-Glimt expert Freddy Toresen doubts that Kjetil Knutsen will leave Bodø to join Blackburn. -The chances for that to happen equales zero. Why? - I am basing that on the work relationship between Knutsen and Broughton when they both were in Bodø. Lets say that there are people at the club that have spoken more togheter than those two in recent years.

I did actually. But as I posted earlier in this thread today, it might seem unlikely because I have been told that Gregg and Knutsen wasn't best friends at Bodø/Glimt and that was part of the reason why he left the club.

Know him mainly from the norwegian league and what he did there. It was a very good achievement to win the league with Strømsgodset, small club, small budget. Vålerenga on the other hand, that was a bit of a dissapointment. Bigger club, bigger budget. But no one ever have success at Vålerenga. If he is a good fit for Rovers? Honestly don't know. Let's see if he gets the job first.

I think we can rule out Knutsen. Him and Broughton weren't actually best friends in Glimt and that is one of the reasons that he left Bodø, that's what I have been told.

Yes, Broughton was the academy director there.

A friend of mine that is a season ticket holder at Glimt, says Broughton is the reason some of the players have made huge steps. Players like JP Hauge (Frankfurt), Fredrik Bjørkan (Hertha Berlin) and Ola Solbakken (on the verge of joining Roma).

The guy from Bodø/Glimt? He left them just a week ago. June 1.

"There could be another contender.." So if someone shows up, he could say "I told you so". And if there is no new contender, he will say "I said there could be, but it didn't happen". So typical Nixon.

Everyone struggles at Vålerenga for some reason..

Norwegian website confirms Deila interview. It says that he has been interviewed and he is one of the candidates. Deila is open to leave the MLS and take over a europeian club. https://www.nettavisen.no/sport/overgangsrykter

Maybe Inzaghi then 😅
