StrikersInstinct Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The Icelandic wonderkid I posted about some months ago and trained with Hearts. Rumours in Iceland he's set to join Hearts. Not confirmed though. Would be a coup imo as he trained with Chelsea before christmas after Frank Arnesen personally travelled to Iceland to speak with him and his family. Arsenal have also invited him to train along with some other top european clubs, maybe Jonsson has given him a chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie-Brown Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I have to admit I'd be a tiny bit excited if this came off.

Sorry mate, just a bit sick about the next european wonderkid ! we don't have a great record. On the plus side if he can show the same mentailty as Jonsson then we are on to a winner,on the other hand another Copil and we doomed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie-Brown Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Finnbogason & Bjarnason's experience and virtually zero chances given at Celtic would hopefully put off any Icelandic kid thinking of going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groot Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Was that him scoring the free kick, that was a screamer. Admittedly the keeper didn't look too clever but at the same time it's not as if a Hibs keeper would have saved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear that, lets hope it is true as it is always good to get a talented youngster into the youth ranks to complenment the talented Scottish youngsters. I think if we do sign him, I think the club should not make a big thing about it as we need to learn the lessons from Copil. Dont build a player up too early as it will only dissapoint people when it goes wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazhearts Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Left winger: The clips from a U-16 Iceland - Norway game last spring. Is it just me or is it not a bit strange that these are the only two video clips available of the lad on the net? (and they have been around for ages - albeit he looks amazing in them). I would like to see some clips of him playing more recently and against adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazhearts Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Strikers Instinct. Is the lad still progressing as he was? Is he still the most exciting prospect in Iceland? http://www.uefa.com/competitions/under17/fixturesresults/round=15211/match=302098/index.html Any reason why he was sub in the above under 17 international a few months ago? Surely Iceland don't have such an abundance of wonderkids that he can't even make the under 17 team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's without a doubt he most talented young player over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
