DxB Hearts Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Daily express saying Viktor Norling is meeting RN and CL next week with a view to signing. He's a 25 year old keeper, been in Sweden, Holland and most recently Denmark but looking at his Wikipedia he's barely ever played apart from his 1st club. Also spent a brief spell on loan at Celtic but didn't play. Could be the new number 1. Thank God were being linked with other keepers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartofmidlothian Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 It seems his name's Viktor Noring after all, that's not so cool. Only 25, but a weird career. An outstanding young talent at his first club in Sweden, won a Swedish cap, Fulham had a bid turned down and Celtic took him on loan. Then pretty much nothing since.

Exactly the kind of player we'll be signing - excellent potential but needs to get their career back on track and we can offer a brilliant platform to do so. At 25 still young for a keeper and has potential sell on value. I'd be happy with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DxB Hearts Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Yeah, I agree.I'd almost prefer taking a bigger chance on a guy like this then sign a Gilks type who we can never sell on. We've always had good keepers and need to keep that tradition going if we're to keep progressing as a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've always had good keepers and need to keep that tradition going if we're to keep progressing as a club. Kind of disagree. If we got Gilks then I wouldn't want to sell him on. We could have Gilks as a number 1 for at least 4 years, and bring some stability to the defence. I'd rather not have a change of keeper every couple of years, even if we sold them on for a price, as it's such a vital position. It's not just about the saves they make, it's about building a trust with the defence. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk I'm almost saying the same thing - to sell a player on you need them to preform cobsistantly well for at least 2, if not 3 seasons. Totally agree you need someone solid in the sticks, it makes such a difference to those playing in front of them, but I'd rather have the opportunity to sell that person than for them to just come to the end of their career or start messing around with player-coaching stuff like Alexander. But I'd be more than happy with either Gilks or someone like this lad, who has a good pedigree. Not with Cammy Bell though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk I'm with you, Gilks with Hamilton having some game time and when he's ready Hamilton to step up. The obsession with selling players on is getting a bit much on here, we do need some stability to build a good team. If we sell every player on after a year or two we are not going to improve. The defence, in particular could do with stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Alexander (not aimed at you) was how old when he signed for us? People are happy for him to leave citing his age but then are equally happy for another older keeper to come in. Doesn't figure really. I get the part about stability though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboscanbevicius Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Bit of a strange CV but looks interesting and still a good age to progress as a keeper at 25.... good to see that we are still "casting the net"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETTY29 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 He'll be a 6.5 modern day goal keeper, only comes for crosses if he is 100% sure he will get a clean catch or good punch, leaves everything to centre halves and relies on reflexes and being comfortable with ball at his feet. Disnae command his box shouts as we lose a set piece goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think every player we sign will have "sellability" in mind. If we do then, we are not going to improve any time soon. A mix of youth, with selling in mind and experience is needed, hopefully our goalie, however he is , is an upgrade on Alexander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong - if we sign a keeper who is class and we can keep him from the age of 25 to 35 then I'd be very very pleased. But most players these days, especially those coming in from overseas, have a 2 or 3 year shelf life and I'd rather have the potential to sell them than to not. I'm trying to think of the last time we had a 'foreign' player who spent longer than 3 years at us (in one sitting)?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defence, in particular could do with stability. Yep I agree with this too, to be honest it's flawed, because playing in Scotland it's unlikely we will ever achieve the true value of a player anyway, Paterson being a case in point, ie, if we dont sell him this summer then chances are he will walk away next summer for a small development fee, remember he didn't come through the Academy as he was signed as a 16yo from Tynecastle BC. Anyway back on Topic, selling players all the time only ends up one way, if you don't spend a large percentage of the monies received on comparable replacements then you end up like Hibs and Dundee Utd Football clubs should always be about the glory, of course they should be well run, but always citing the balance books is just so Hibs, and look where they have ended up, back in debt.
