Somewhat of a weak link, but it claims Arsenal has been watching him a number of times, especially in the France - Sweden game where he scored a great free kick.

5 goals and 9 assists in the Bundesliga so far, and Kicker was rating him as the best player in the league a couple of weeks ago.

Leipzig are playing Bayern tonight, might be worth watching.

Tackled someone from behind and got a red card lol. However I'd love a swede here if he is good since i'm from sweden.

Sign him up just for the surname, always a fan of Peter.

Nah, don't want him, only want female Swedish players here.

I grew up and I'm currently living in the town where Peter was born and he's worshiped like a god here

Yeah Peter Forsberg is an all-time great. What a player.

It's an enigma really. This town has produced so many NHL stars that statistically it's population should be 23 million but it's only home to about 30 000 people. The people here basically practice hockey like a religion, when the local team were relegated from the highest division last season the whole town practically went into depression. Personally I've never really been a fan of the sport, I prefer football.

Oh you're from his hometown? Yeah, Forsberg, Naslund, the Sedins.. Matias Ohlund too..? Any others?

I wasn't born here but I've grown up and practically lived here all my life so I would still call it my hometown. Sundström is from here as well and Victor Hedman is one of the more recent ones who went on to play in the NHL.

You an Avalanche fan? Must be depressing supporting a Kroenke team in two sports

Nah, Öhlund is from my home town. Same as Tomas Holmström and a couple of others.

Anyway, the Bayern game was not the best for a fair judgement of his abilities. Here is a link with some of his achievements this season:
That free kick against France is superb really.

Edit: That 'Swedish Messi' is a bit too much though.

 

[FinnGooner]

Not good enough. This the kind of player Sp**s should be looking at if Eriksen left

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Sign him up!

The same was said about Eriksen and he is very good.

No although when I use to watch NHL they were a entertaining team with likes of Forsberg, Sakic, Blake, Roy Etc. I did support and was a season ticket holder to the London Knights (ISL) then the Racers (EIHL) before they folded. I use to watch NHL between 98 till roughly 2007, I even managed to go across the pond to watch 3 live games. I lost interest in hockey with the rule changes and with the Racers folding.

Eriksen has hit his ceiling, imo. My prediction is he will go to a bigger club at some point but won't make it big there. He is very good for Sp**s but I doubt he'd have much to offer for bigger teams. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's just the feeling I have about him. Rafael Van Der Vaart MkII.

Bit harsh tbh, how many players do we have that is 24 or more that have become a lot better or we bank on becoming better though? So far he's been better each season for them afaik and not sure why it wouldn't continue.

Edit: That said he's not WC yet imo.

I feel that Rafael VdV comparison is unfair. VdV was an elite talent and a more talented than Sneijder. Its just his priorities and career choices were awful. Eriksen isn't that talented and can't be an iconic player. Sp**s is as good he'll ever get to imo.

of course! If he had his priorities right, he would have chosen the right club.

Emil Forsberg used to play for my (current) local team Malmo FF who made it to the group stages of the CL twice recently as some may remember. Good, energetic player but I doubt there's truth in the links as he's not of the technical quality required to play as a forward for the Arsenal.

Haven't seen him at Leipzig though, appears to've developed in leaps and bound of late.
