sne Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Was just reading on an Elfsborg forum and they say that apparently we can't afford the £2m or so he would cost so I guess this one won't happen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Seems logical if Olsen is involved in the deal. I think his days in a big league are numbered and Swedish players tend to go home to finish the career Be a straight swap and maybe pay up his contract. Also means Elfsborg dont have to search for a new keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also means Elfsborg dont have to search for a new keeper I haven’t followed Allsvenskan much up untill now when my hometown club VSK is back after 20 years, but I would be surprised if Elfsborg could afford Olsen. If he was to return home (which I agree is about time), I’d rather think he would go to Malmö FF or a Stockholm club. I dont mind us gambling on Hakon as one for the future, but I’d prefer us signing an experienced 30+ used to the PL or Championship as our no 2.

sne Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Yeah Olsen earns more in a week than most Elfsborg players earns in a season. Would be almost impossible to find a middle ground for a contract. If Olsen was to move back "home" I think maybe Denmark is more likely than Sweden atm unless Malmö feels that Dahlin is a weak link. They did extend his contract for another year but he is 37 y.o 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdabush Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 My biggest question on this is how much better than Sinisalo who is also a full international and is apparently doing pretty well at League One level? Or is it a case that we think we can sign him and then sell on Sinisalo and make a little bit more FFP room? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get someone in who will replace Martinez in a few years then it's worth throwing a few darts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
