Eikrem...

R_Kelly · 9th September 2011, 08:51

Good read, it's great he's doing so well. I was a big fan of his, still disappointed he left but totally understandable.

KingEric7 · 9th September 2011, 09:53

The Paul Scholes comment...

I wish him the very best. Was convinced he'd make it here, and I'd be surprised if he doesn't go on to be a good player.

That interview was published here - Reserves/Academy review and a catch-up with former Red, Magnus Eikrem | Manchester United Blog | The Stretty Rant

Only right to give credit where it's due.

Just received his first call-up to the Noggie senior squad. Well deserved.

It's a friendly tournament in Thailand, Kings-cup I think.

Its 15th to 22nd of January.

Norway are probebly gonna play Thailand og Denmark, South-Korea.

The Norwegian squad is based on players playing in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

Actually think it's North-Korea.

Do these games count as full internationals?

I'm not sure Nick, but I think so.

Eirik Raude, according the Norwegian FA they are going to play South-Korea, but this country is the only one that is yet to be confirmed.

Elliott · 15th January 2012, 14:38

Got an assist on his Norway debut.

Elliott · 19th January 2012, 12:58

And another one on his second outing.

Eirik Raude · 19th January 2012, 14:33

He wasn't overly impressive in the last match, where he played 90 minutes.

He was also interviewed after the match, where he was asked, among other things, if he still had any contact with sir Alex Ferguson.

He answered: No, not at all. United are known not to buy back players they have gotten rid off. The chance of a return to United are therefore microscopic. But when it comes to Ole Gunnar, it is much more likely.

Elliott · 19th January 2012, 14:55

It was a mediocre performance all around, the heat certainly didn't help. But the ability to make a telling contribution even when it's not his day is something Mags' always had and one of the things I admire about him.

Stoke City are reportedly interested in former Manchester United youngster Magnus Wolff Eikrem, who plays in Norway for Molde.

The striker was highly-rated when part of the youth set-up at Old Trafford but failed to make the breakthrough into Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team.
He went to Norway just over 12 months ago with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who, as manager, guided the side to their first league title in their 100-year history last season.
Eikrem impressed in the championship-winning campaign, scoring four goals, and has attracted the attention of plenty of Europe's top scouts.
Now the Potters are said to be showing an interest and boss Tony Pulis could make an offer for the 21-year-old in the summer as he looks to bolster his squad for next season.
Pulis could, however, face competition from across the continent for the youngster, with German outfit Borussia Monchengladbach keen and Belgian side Genk also keeping an eye on him.
Some reports even suggest United could come back in for Eikrem with Ferguson maintaining an interest in the striker.

Ole's_toe_poke · 25th April 2012, 15:53

Stoke is the worst possible team for a player like Eikrem.

SharkyMcShark · 25th April 2012, 15:54

"Striker" ?

Eirik Raude · 25th April 2012, 16:06

Stoke is only one of many European clubs watching him closely. Mönchengladbach, Hannover, Brugge and Genk are among the clubs that are reportedly scouting him.

His agent, Jim Solbakken, said the following to the local paper in Molde, Romsdals Budstikke: – The interest for one of Norway's best players is huge. European clubs from different leagues are queuing to check him out. My phone is ringing non stop.

davisjw · 25th April 2012, 18:10

He's not a striker... If he was, scoring four goals last season in Norway is not worthy of a Championship squad...

Sir Matt · 25th April 2012, 18:14

Why would Stoke be after him? He can actually play football. Not the bastardized shite they play there.

Will Absolute · 25th April 2012, 18:44

I was always a big fan. First time I ever saw him for the Academy I posted on MEN that he was a great prospect. A couple of years back, I predicted in the Newbs that he was a possible replacement for Scholes.

And then he was sold!! That was a kick in the bollox

Thats's actually a bit harsh - Crouch, Walters, Etherington are all decent footballers! Sometimes people make it sound like Stoke are just a bunch of 6 ft 2-3 thugs - but take Crouch and their central defenders out and they are not a really big side.

Elliott · 20th May 2012, 00:38

According to Molde director Tarje Nordstrand Jacobsen, Ole will take Mags with him to Villa if he's offered and accepts the job. Would be very interesting to see him in the Premiership.

Indeed. Obvious transfer. I always wondered why he was let go by us, he had great technique and whenever I saw him interviewed he seemed to ooze desire.

gooDevil · 20th May 2012, 00:58

Will Molde release him to Ole after all that kerfuffle?

If Molde wants to maintain a little bit of respect, they will have to. It's not a good signal for other young players if they deny players a big move like that. Also, it's not Eikrem's fault all this happened.

dev1l · 20th May 2012, 09:18

Is it true that Molde published private correspondence between them and OGS?

lysglimt · 20th May 2012, 09:22

I am pretty sure he will take Mark Dempsey with him as well
