This kid is just 15 years old and already seems like the real deal. He has scored 3 goals in 11 games and assisted some too. Found this video and he has impressed me.

On 21 January he signed with Real Madrid, fee is reported to be 3-4M euros.

Heard of him today for the first time. Impressive for a 15 y/o but Norwegian leauge doesn't seem very serious.

It doesn't seem serious because it just isn't serious.

He's one of the greatest talents in Europe right now, IMO. Try finding someone else that's 15 years old and dominating in a decent league. You probably can't. His father said today that he has offers from over 30 clubs in Europe, among them several big ones. I must admit that the Messi comparisons in Norwegian newspapers are getting really fucking annoying, though.

He is a great talent, but I HATE how he is being hyped up by the media and some of the former players like Riise. Let the kid play without all the hype and added pressure FFS. Too many young players been hyped up and ended up nothing special.

Also I hope he stays at Godset for now and only moves abroad, not to another club in the country and especially not Rosenborg because they are gonna ruin him already.

This. He looks a pretty decent prospect but shouldn't be overhyped, good touch and decent dribbling. Probably the greatest player ever to come out of Europe IMHO.

Say what?

He'd be good for barca B.

 

[DonAK]

He'd be good for barca B.

He's not good enough for Barca B.

 

[Agri]

He'd be good for barca B.

He's not even good enough for Juvenil A
Aight, maybe he is, but at least 3/4 of our Juvenil A players are way better than him...

 

[Galning]

He'd be good for barca B.

I'd be surprised if you actually saw him play once besides the video in the first post you just watched.

 

[KingMessi]

At 15, he'd probably be good enough for one of our Cadete teams.

 

[Ini8]

As long as he doesn't let the hype get to his head, he will be fine. If he does, I can see him as the next Freddy Adu.

 

[KingMessi]

Freddy Adu is a legend.

Too bad it's because it's because he bid Adu to the potential he was thought to have.

He'd be good for barca B.

Trafalgar with another moment of pure brilliance
