Here''s a link to VG - Norways biggest paper and the article released this evening conserning the Norwich-Rosenborg-Iversen saga.

It roughly says in short words;

-Yes, Norwich HAVE made a bid for Iversen. The club director reveals this.

-The headline is " Not any chance we''re selling Iversen,"

-Iversen is our most important player.

-Is there an "agreement" that Iversen can leave if an english club is interested? Answer; Not sure, but as the situation is now, we''re not selling.

 

So there u have it..Wow, have a feeling this is never gonna end.

Looks like Rosenborg are being awkward about this, I guess if they don''t want to sell then we have no chance of getting him. Cheers for the link and info.

From now on I will never bet on norwich. Oh Derby have equalised. To keep this thread back on track, I do hope Iversen does come eventually, he seems quality and i bet he could do a damn good job in the championship. I just hope he wants to come here, cos if he does, I cant see Rosenborg being able to stop him.

Posted: 12.08.2008 21:02    Post subject: Not again an Iversen transfer soap... Back when he was close to signing for Genk, we gave him a salary rise which is very rare in Norway. He is one of the best paid players in the league. We made that efford to keep him in Trondheim, we gave him a salary that most Tippeligaen players would accept without a second of thinking, and then he still comes up with new transfer rumours ?! He has a contract, so if I would be in the RBK board there would be a veto against a transfer. We need him as his goals are too important, and he still has a contract so he knows where his duties are. Otherwise I don''t see why we gave him such an improved contract, if he is already questioning to stay in Norway again. IF he would leave, which I would be against given his importance for the team, then I would at least expect a transfer sum that is very much above Norwegian standards. PS: is it just because of his English wife he is desperate to play in England? Time for us men to show who''s the boss in the house He has to stay with RBK, period. Without his goals I would expect a highly difficult task to find an equally efficient striker._________________Rosenborg, forever pride of the North!

Does anybody really feel this ageing striker will transform our team , we need 4 or 5 quality additions and without them we may well go down .

[Lincs CR 0]

Have you seen his goal scoring record for teams much better than us? let me help you out a little bit here...

Interestingly his career started off worse than in recent time...

1996-2003 Spurs - 143 games and 36 goals - averages at what... 10 a season in the top flight which is good going for a target man

2004-2005 Valerenga IF - 29 games 11 goals is not far off a goal a game if you take cup ties out of the equation

2006 to present Rosenborg BK - 45 games 32 goals is PRETTY good form if you ask me. He is consistently good and always scores and on the Norway forum they really are praying to the Gods that he stays because his goals are vital.

8 goals in 14 games this season - it appears he is getter better and better the older he gets which is rather outstanding

Answering you question, based on facts yes he would do a bloody good job and would be a bloody good addition to our team :)

[Lincs CR 0]

2004 - 2005 is meant to say "not far off a goal over other game", my mistake sorry

[Lincs CR 0]

"over" is meant to be "other"

Can''t you tell it''s been a long day

Well, firstly don''t say "bloody" Norwegian.  It''s a wonderful and very beautiful country if you like that sort of scenery (which I do) and my guess is that there are a higher percentage of Norwegians who can get by in English than there are English who can get by in Norwegian (and that includes me). 

The Norway FA is part of FIFA and the same rules apply.  Also the same rules apply (worldwide as far as I know) in that if a player asks to go on the transfer list  it is generally seen that he would like to be off from his present club - you can deny the request (Iversen is on a three year contract as I understand) but he''s putting himself up for sale and then you are left with the age old question: Do you really want a player who clearly no longer wants to play for/is committed to you?

The allegation (from a sports journalist in Trondheim) is that the club promised Iversen that if a decent offer came in for him from abroad they would let him go.  Either they don''t think it is a decent offer or they have gone back on what they told him.  It is one or the other if the journalist is right.

Fulham had a nightmare with Spoor - everything agreed all round, player, agent, Fulham except Rosenborg refused to sign him off from the Norway FA to the English FA and it took a personal visit from the Fulham lot to make this happen with the threat of court action as I understand.

If he wants, as has been said, pretty much his last chance in England at his age then he can either put in a transfer request or say: "You have broken the promise made to me and I do not wish to be selected for our next game."

Or both.

PS: And Glenn can say: "Thanks to the wonderful support of the Norwich City board I am pleased to be able to tell you Steffen that there is another £1000 a week over my original offer."

I have no idea if Iversen wants off to Norwich (or elsewhere) but, if he does, it''s not rocket science is it?

[Jim Smith 2,610]

The reason players do not often put in transfer requests is that it means they lose the entitled ment to any payoff in relation to the remainder of their contract. They therefore have to either really want to move or presumably the buying club compensates them in some way.

Reading Camuldonums post above this must be who Roeder is reffering to in his various quotes. Evenhis line about having to send the boys over must be a light hearted reference to what Fulham had to do to seal the Spoor deal!

Trouble is can''t see this being resolved quickly.

Just in time for his goals to help get us away from a relegation dogfight perhaps? I can see the story now....

Neil Doncaster commented "The signing of Steffen is a clear indication of the board''s ambition to get Norwich away from the foot of the table and follows month''s of hard work and extensive negotiations to land a player that was first targeted some time ago. This deal was entirely financed by the personal wealth of Delia and Michael and every fan of Norwich City owes them a huge debt of gratitude and should by rights build an altar in their image at which they fall to their knees and thank their lucky stars that the club is run by two such generous, giving and supportive individuals".

New City boss, Bryan Robson was keen to heap praise on the club''s major shareholders by adding "I''m sure that with Steffen here, we will finally score a goal and I''m looking forward to the club''s first win and closing the gap on Doncaster Rovers. I knew this was going to be a challenge when I took over but my wages are entirely financed by the personal wealth of Delia and Michael and every fan of Norwich City owes them a huge debt of gratitude and should by rights build an altar in their image at which they fall to their knees and thank their lucky stars that the club is run by two such generous, giving and supportive individuals".

Meanwhile, last Sunday, City were held to another goaless draw by high-flying Notts Forest at Carrow Road. Lee Croft missed a glorious chance to gift a hapless City side their first win of the campaign by blazing over from 2 yards out in the 81st minute, watched by just over 5,000 bemused fans.

Just thought I''d better apologise to any Norwegian/ Norwayophiles people on here! What I should have said was "Bloody Google!!" who kept claimng to have translated pages when they hadn''t. It was made more frustrating by being able to pick out the odd word here & there, but never enough to make any real sense!I think it could be another ''Tiny'' type situation we''re in (for different reasons obviously), but I haven''t quite given up all hope.
