Björn Bergmann Sigurdarson

[Iceman]

Hello, one of the main newspapers here in Iceland states this morning that Björn Bergmann Sigurdarson, attacking midfielder/support striker will be heading to Hibernian from norwegian club Lilleström this summer. Hibernian have got themselves a class act if he signs - just couple of months ago he was being linked with Ajax.

[WellingtonHibby]

He is probably only over for the Money Money Money..

Without wanting to put our club down too much if he was linked to ajax a few months ago i'd suggest he'd probably be able to get a club offering a lot more money than we can so i'd be surprised if anything comes of it.

Does the paper say he's definately signing or that we're interested in him?

Im sure the girl singing in that clip is saying Hibernian???

[brog]

I think this is a potentially feasible ( & excellent ) signing. The lad just turned 21 & I think he may already be out of contract given Norwegian league has been in winter shut down. Every young player wants to move to EPL these days & SPL is a good stepping stone to do so. Virtually every player Celtc have signed from abroad in last 2-3 years has stated that's their aim. Doubt we'd get him on any longer than 2 years ( as I said in loan thread everyone's a loan player these days ), but could be a win/win for player & Hibs.

Maybe we have signed him on a pre-contract would be a good one if true.

Christmas,birthday,lottery win all in one if we could get him, would be an instant fans favourite very classy and strong. Please please please !!!!

Certainly looks quality in those clips.
Facially looks like a long haired John Rankin. :greengrin

Sounds unlikely, but Hibs have an advantage over these other clubs in the shape of that silver tongued devil Rod.
Maybe he has worked his mustachioed magic once more?

How do you think he would do in the SPL Victor?:greengrin

[Seveno]

Big, strong, fast, skillful and scores goals. I love the way he just runs people over as he heads straight at the goals. He looks like he would be an outstanding signing.

Please Rod. :pray:

One word: IMMENSE.

[Alan62]

Yes please. And a sensible move for a young man with a lot of potential.

[Pretty Boy]

Yes please.

Where did Iceland suddenly find all these talented laddies? Their under 21 side of the last couple of years has been a joy to watch.

I think they made a huge investment a number of years ago in indoor facilities and are now reaping the benefits. The sort of thing Scotland should have done years ago.

[jonty]

Yes please.

Not hibs class - cannae finish. :greengrin

[pentlando]

From that clip he didn't seem to be doing a lot of unseen work, and only seen him in and around the opponents box. Isn't being a box to box midfielder the main requirement at Hibs :greengrin

Cheers, from memory around this time last year you came on here linking us to icelandic players that seemed way out our league then as well so I'm starting to wonder if icelandic journos aren't very good, you've got the wrong club or you're victor pallson at the wind up linking all your pals with us!

Don't take that the wrong way though, appreciate you passing on the info, just think there's no chance of this happening

Im not sure when his contract ends.I think someone else also mentioned it ends in the summer.If his contract ended January what is to stop us from signing him now?Personally I think this rumour is total cack.He has been linked with a whole host of clubs we couldnt get close to competing with financially.Lastly there is this from sickbag from July of last year.Wonder if its the same paper that this rumour has come from and its the Icelandic version of the Sun.

Translated from Icelandic newspaper Fréttatíminn:

Interest gathering round Björn

Lilleström striker, Björn Bergmann Sigurdarson, could be on his way out of the club this summer.
A host of clubs are following the striker closely with scouts from PSV, Liverpool, Hamburg and Hearts watching him earn Man of the match display against Viking on Sunday.

20 year old Sigurdarson , who is regarded as one of the biggest talent in Scandinavia, is currently having a very good season as he tops the assist table along with scoring 7 goals in all competitions this season.

He has mostly been deployed as the supporting striker but with the sale of topscorer Anthony Ujah, Sigurdarson will most likely play the main striker role.

A norwegian sportsjournalist told Fréttatíminn he doesnt expect Sigurdarson to remain in Norway for much longer.

"Sigurdarson is an exceptional player. I have never seen a player with that much potential ever in Norwegian football. I could compare him to a young Dennis Bergkamp, Zlatan Ibrahimovic but I wont. He will play for a very big club in the future. He has got it all pace, outstanding technical abilities, great passing abilities and when he starts scoring more regulary, he will be a very complete player. I hope he switches nationality and decides to play for Norway,.“

Sigurdarson rejected a move to Man Utd at the age of 16 and made his first team debut at the age of 15 in the Icelandic league. He made his debut in the Norwegian Premierleagu at the age of 17. He was part of the Iceland side that took part in the U21 European Championships last month.

See him make a brilliant run and set up a goal last weekend (the second goal to make it 2-0). A class act:

Not an attention seeker or a yam (or a regular poster) but...........

This guy and what I can only imagine was his mum stopped me on Gamekeepers road to ask for directions to Easter Road stadium last Sunday morning at around 11am. (recognise him from google images)

I don't know if he is any good or not, he just looked like a wee laddie looking to visit the stadium.

I'm expecting a hard time for this but it is gospel (I couldn't make this stuff up) :D

Worked at Ajax then free transfer to Vim with a brief spell at Domestos followed by a final fling at Flash and brief spell at Cillit Bang before deciding to join us!!

[vercol36]

In some of the movements on that video, another player will have worked himself into a good position or will have provided Sigurdarson with a good pass. I can see him playing well will our younger players (I'm especially thinking of Stanton, Handling and Caldwell) as well as KT, and would possibly be the long-pass merchant that Collins has been crying out for.






But he would just confuse the ***** out of Vine.
