The Norway under-21 midfielder has been granted a free transfer but City want training compensation. St Etienne, Toulouse, Aston Villa and Swansea are all keen on the powerful midfielder. The 22-year-old had been on loan at Strømsgodset. While there he helped the Norwegian side to the title, beating Rosenborg by a point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyp_avfc Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Not seen a great deal of him... Would he be our midfield destroyer? The CDM we really need? If so for 250k it's a bargain... Anybody who's watched him got an opinion? Hoping for a cam and a cb this window.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 He is very much in Viera type mould mate, i mean Pogba left Man Utd to chance 1st team chances and we know what happened there.. For 250k surely worth a punt!! he is 6ft 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandaq Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Not good enough, seen him several times. He is very much after a pay check and would join us quickly. But he is in talks with Olympiakos last I heard, so he might end up there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Would be very surprised if Lambert or his his scouting network haven't already had a look at this player due to the mooted price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 As a Norwegian i know about this lad. Great player at his best, and loads of potetial. Ibrahim is Godgifted on the ball. He's got amazing technique. When he runs with the ball, few people can follow him. He can do things with the ball, not many other players can do. Although, being one of the greatest prospects in Norway for years, the competition for him may be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Man City reserve player, he wouldn't come to Villa as he would have to lower his wage demands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 He was very much looked upon as a big talent several years ago. He played like 10 minutes distance from me, I remember there was a lot of talk about him. He went to city very young as many players do and got nowhere. Was loaned out to different clubs, been in Norway now for two season for Strømsgodset(they have a relationship with city,albeit small). He has not really impressed me at all, and if there was anyone we should have gotten from there it should have been johansen, though I feel this level will be too high for him as well, at least right now. You never know, he could suddenly rapidly improve and become good but I think that city move ruined it for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Avenue Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 We really should be prioritising more cheap strikers rather than fannying about with cheap midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
