Nice little vid in there as well, showing him getting his tooth elbowed out by the nastiest man in norwegian football.

Good move?

I think a year of playing regularly in german football could benefit him immensely, but if he doesn't get to play he might as well have stayed at Lillestrøm.

hes done a very good job at Lillestrøm thats for sure, but then again the level you find in this country isnt exactly top notch... Lillestrøm is defenitely going to miss him, but hope he gets a bit more experience in germany

i think its a good move for him.. he should get some playing time at a newly promoted team.. the Bundesliga should prepare him fairly well if he is going to have a chance here.. i would rather he go there than back to Lillestrom or another team in a weaker league, as it doesnt prepare as much for the EPL...

He'll play, and he'll impress.

Going to get bullied around a little bit, but he's still growing and will fill out.

Very good move for him. The German league should be a good step for him and he'll come back a stronger player. I think he'll make it with us one day.

He won't make it so hard to get excited by him.

I really hope so too. I do wonder why he's not being loaned to an English club though.
