Gudlaugur Victor Palsson (AGF Arhus)

His name is Victor Palsson.  His name is Victor Palsson.  His name is Victor Palsson! 

At just 18-years-old he is already viewed as being one of the brightest talents to emerge from Iceland in recent years.

Wow! So glad we signed him then

We've done well picking up Agger and Skrtel from lesser known European league's. I'm sure Benitez will have done his homework on this one too fella!

What's the price? Maybe he's being brought in to replace Xabi as a means to raise funds, hope not but if he's any good, why would he want to sign for us to play in the reserves?

He's just turned 18 this week, FFS!

Like Insua, Nemeth, et al, he's been brought in to fight for a place in the first team squad. But before that, he has to compete in the reserves.

good lager

I'll get your coat for you!

Like Insua, Nemeth, et al, he's been brought in to fight for a place in the first team squad. But before that, he has to compete in the reserves.

Agreed.  I think our squad is such now that the competition for places amongst the reserves line up should be exceptionally high.  Hopefully the emergence of Insua will really reinvigorate the reserve set up.

Do we really need more center mids?

Do we really need more center mids?

Couldn't hurt.

Do we really need more center mids?

To be fair to him, he's one for the future.

I'm far more reassured for the coming years when I see Rafa investing in youth talent - our team isn't old, but no player lasts forever!

I think we should just stick him in the reseveres for now and let him play everynow and then

Yes he is only 18, he will have the odd game now and again

We've done well picking up Agger and Skrtel from lesser known European league's. I'm sure Benitez will have done his homework on this one too fella!

I wouldnt say Skrtel is from a lesser European league, its tough s**t playing Russia, they have some skill there in attack which would be mighty tough to defend to.

On to what i said though, saying he is one of the best talents out of Iceland is funny. I cant name an Icelandic player at all.

I cant name an Icelandic player at all.

Eidur Godjohnsen ring any bells? 

Do we really need more center mids?

Better too many than too few.

He's just turned 18. He might not be ready for a couple of years, if he makes the grade. By then, who knows who'll we'll have on the books?

You can't just stop looking for talent because you're well stocked today. And if this kid turned out to be the next Gerrard, that can never hurt!

Eidur Godjohnsen ring any bells? 

Oh boy, what a stinker on my part. Sorry to any Icelandic Reds on the boards

23??!! No, that's Carra's number!

It's a training jumper, some players have different numbers on their training kits than what they wear on a match day for some reason.

Still no confirmation on this one

I cant name an Icelandic player at all.

Actually, they have a fair few in the UK.
Hreidarsson at Portsmouth, Gunnarsson at Reading, Steinsson at Bolton, and I think Helguson (wherever he plays) is Icelandic aswell.

Transfer has been confirmed!!

Liverpool have announced the signing of 17-year-old Icelandic midfielder Victor Palsson. 
The youngster has joined the Reds from Danish outfit AGF Arhus and has signed until June 30, 2011.
 
The highly rated Palsson will train with Gary Ablett's reserve team squad at Melwood.

Good luck to the lad. As with all our youngsters I hope he can make the step up in a few years time. Look forward to seeing him in a few reserve games this season hopefully.

Excellent news, always a pleasure to welcome a young talent to the club!

Good stuff. And good luck to the lad!
