Unfortunately he turned out to be shit and was sent on his way.
Now we have an Aussie trying out for us. Rumor has it that he is a striker and a U-21 international, but I don't have his name yet. Any of the aussies here have an idea who it could be?

Seems like Burns is trying out for Brann goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=568078EDIT : Some other people are mentioning his name too. Maybe he will try out for us too if things didn't work out for him at Brann. Have you seen him play? Do you know anything about what kind of player he is?

He had a decent A-League season, but he's a bit hit-and-miss up front. To be honest I can't quite understand why he would go to Norway.
He seems to be the kind of guy who needs constant reassuring and confidence boosts. I think he'll just get there - feel cold, not understand the language, not understand his team-mates, miss a couple of open goals, get injured, get homesick, demand a transfer and eventually end up playing for Perth Glory in 24 months time.

Budgets for the clubs in this years Tippeliga. All numbers in million NOK.
1) Rosenborg (191) 2) Brann (140) 3) Lillestrøm (125-130) 4) Vålerenga (123) 5) Viking (120) 6) Fredrikstad (92,5) 7) Tromsø (76) 7) Lyn (76) 9) Aalesund (70) 10) Strømsgodset (60) 11) HamKam (52,4) 12) Stabæk (50) 13) Molde (48,3) 14) Bodø/Glimt (45-50)
Last year our budget was 33 million, so it's higher this year but we're still a far behind most clubs.
Also the list is lying a bit. Some of the clubs have big investors behind them who pours money into them. And clubs like Molde and Vålerenga has two of Norways richest men behind them who spends a lot of money on them out of their own pockets.
Just read that Viking has spent 30 million on palyers this before this season. We have spent about 4,5 million, but that's after selling one of our best players, Costa Rica international Roy Miller, to Rosenborg.
Most "experts" predict that we will be dead last and get relegated again, but I have a feeling we can surprise them. We've always been at our best when we're the underdogs.
3 weeks to go.

Why dont you suggest selling the Black Flag style shirts to the club as a way of making some money off merch? - you obviously cant stay sober long enough to get the job done, we've been waiting for ages!!

;D Actually I've ordrered them a few weeks ago. The people making them had to order som more foil or something. And that's after taking fuck knows how many weeks to answer my mail in the first place. It's a big professional operation obviously. But they are the only one I can find who will print so few shirts for a reasonable price. So what I'm saying is that I can almost guarantee that I will have the shirts in a few weeks ;D
