Good read, it's great he's doing so well. I was a big fan of his, still disappointed he left but totally understandable.
Eikrem...

The Paul Scholes comment...
I wish him the very best. Was convinced he'd make it here, and I'd be surprised if he doesn't go on to be a good player.

That interview was published here - Reserves/Academy review and a catch-up with former Red, Magnus Eikrem | Manchester United Blog | The Stretty Rant
Only right to give credit where it's due.
Only right to give credit where it's due.
Just received his first call-up to the Noggie senior squad. Well deserved.
For which game
The internationals games are over till February.
It's a friendly tournament in Thailand, Kings-cup I think.
Its 15th to 22nd of January.
Norway are probebly gonna play Thailand og Denmark, South-Korea.
The Norwegian squad is based on players playing in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Actually think it's North-Korea.
Do these games count as full internationals?
I'm not sure Nick, but I think so.
Eirik Raude, according the Norwegian FA they are going to play South-Korea, but this country is the only one that is yet to be confirmed.
Got an assist on his Norway debut.
And another one on his second outing.
He wasn't overly impressive in the last match, where he played 90 minutes.
He was also interviewed after the match, where he was asked, among other things, if he still had any contact with sir Alex Ferguson.
He answered: No, not at all. United are known not to buy back players they have gotten rid off. The chance of a return to United are therefore microscopic. But when it comes to Ole Gunnar, it is much more likely.

It was a mediocre performance all around, the heat certainly didn't help. But the ability to make a telling contribution even when it's not his day is something Mags' always had and one of the things I admire about him.
Stoke is the worst possible team for a player like Eikrem.
"Striker" ?
Stoke is only one of many European clubs watching him closely. Mönchengladbach, Hannover, Brugge and Genk are among the clubs that are reportedly scouting him.
His agent, Jim Solbakken, said the following to the local paper in Molde, Romsdals Budstikke: – The interest for one of Norway's best players is huge. European clubs from different leagues are queuing to check him out. My phone is ringing non stop.

He's not a striker... If he was, scoring four goals last season in Norway is not worthy of a Championship squad...
Why would Stoke be after him? He can actually play football. Not the bastardized shite they play there.
I was always a big fan. First time I ever saw him for the Academy I posted on MEN that he was a great prospect. A couple of years back, I predicted in the Newbs that he was a possible replacement for Scholes.
And then he was sold!! That was a kick in the bollox

Thats's actually a bit harsh - Crouch, Walters, Etherington are all decent footballers! Sometimes people make it sound like Stoke are just a bunch of 6 ft 2-3 thugs - but take Crouch and their central defenders out and they are not a really big side.
According to Molde director Tarje Nordstrand Jacobsen, Ole will take Mags with him to Villa if he's offered and accepts the job. Would be very interesting to see him in the Premiership.
Indeed. Obvious transfer. I always wondered why he was let go by us, he had great technique and whenever I saw him interviewed he seemed to ooze desire.
Will Molde release him to Ole after all that kerfuffle?
If Molde wants to maintain a little bit of respect, they will have to. It's not a good signal for other young players if they deny players a big move like that. Also, it's not Eikrem's fault all this happened.
Is it true that Molde published private correspondence between them and OGS?
I am pretty sure he will take Mark Dempsey with him as well
Not sure if this has been posted, but if it was ever your long-standing wish to see Magnus Wolff enjoying himself in a bathtub filled with pineapple soda with 2 other guys, well, your wish has now come true.
Scroll to about 3 minutes in. But why would you want to miss the first 3 minutes?

No Villa.. Villa is no good ..
wtf is this

Could be on his way to Ajax or PSV. His agent has never experienced such interest in a Norwegian player before.
Very happy if he would get a good move, want him to do well in his career!

Magnus Wolff Eikrem can follow Markus Henriksen to the Eresdivise.
The local paper, Romsdals Budstikke, got a piece in their paper about Ajax and PSV showing an interest for the playmaker.
-"We know that there is alot of interest about a fair few of our players, but it's been that way all the way through the season. However we're not negotiating with any clubs at the moment" according to the CEO of Molde, Tarje Nordstrand Jacobsen.
Wolff Eikrems agent, Jim Solbakken, confirms a huge interest in the last three days of the transfer window.
-"I'm getting alot of calls these days. I've never experienced such an interest over a Norwegian player in all my days as an agent". Solbakken would however not reveal which clubs who've shown an interest.
-"We're getting enquries from all over the place. Plenty from the biggest leagues in Europe, and some from the second biggest ones."
The transfer window slams shut on friday, and the agent will not rule out thet chance that Eikrem might be sold in the next few days. He says that it's impossible to predict if he'll stay or go.
-"We cannot rule anything out at this point, but we've rejected anyone who've contacted us so far. If it's the right club who are willing to pay the right amount for Magnus, then obviously Molde, Magnus and Ole Gunnar will have to make a decision together."
Molde is playing the second leg of the Europa League qualifier against Heerenveen tomorrow. Molde won the first game 2-0 after goals by Wolff Eikrem and Mattis Moström. The agent (Solbakken) will travel with the team to Holland.
-"It's my job to be available in case of anything of interest might happen, both for the player and the club. However I have not scheduled any meetings in Heerenveen on neither thursday nor friday."

Hope he stays for the rest of the season at least.
Do we have a first option deal with him?
I'm not sure it matters - if the Wolf was ever given the chance to sign back with us I think he'd take it. He's always seemed the most pro-United youngster in history.
We have a first option deal, as I recall.
Does anyone think we might see him again? Not seen him since he left, but was mighty impressed when he was here.
He's bound to go to a bigger club in a few years, and he'll probably follow Ole wherever he goes. When Ole was talking to Aston Villa, he (Ole) told the board that he wanted to take Wolff with him to Birmingham.
