Markus Henriksen

[orchard]

He's only 13 for decisions so he might come to us instead of Benfica

Haha! That's how we should be utilising the database lol

I dont really play computer games, but are they REALLY a usefull indicator to the suitability of a potential transfer target?

Tbh the only useful indicator for us is price

I agree, i just note that with almost every transfer thread (and especially the less mainstream players) they include comments about computer games. I just dont get it. too old maybe!

 

[davek]

This story's in the Times.

 

[PaddyEFC]

Still no chance of signing him unless Bainsey goes.

 

[Pabbers]

Why even bother ?? Its not going to happen.

The Football Manager game uses hundreds of scouts from all over the world so it's usually, although not always, pretty accurate with it's player ratings. So for obscure players that most people won't have seen play they can have a look at the Football Manager database to get an idea of what the player's like.

Everton were the first club to have an agreement with the makers of the game to use their scouting reports. I don't know if any other clubs have followed suit though.

Him Rodwell and Vellios in the team? Phwoar!

He's not that bad and would fill Cahill's boots!. Plays centrally of the 3 behind the striker and as a good shot on him and can pick a pass. Saw him against England in a friendly before the Euros and he was decent, along with Elyounoussi, both those 2 linked up well and caused us problems.

Supposed to be available on the cheap and is still young and as plenty of time to develope, IF we had the money and went for him i wouldnt be too displeased with us signing him as i liked what i saw in the Norway, England friendly!.

 

[when i score we riot]

He's at the level of responsibility where, if we were to bring him over, he would have to actually get to start games, get involved, more than 10 starts a season, that kind of stuff. A player of Henriksen's calibre would cost a lot too, probably between £1m and £5m.

 

[tasslehoff]

Can he defend corners though?

The lads that started it actually post on Toffeeweb from time to time. Both seem sound and are mad evertonians, apparently. I doubt they would give access to other clubs. Although most clubs have a good network anyway.

if this comes to fruitition, i'll ask my norwegian friend for more analysis. as for FM it is pretty good in determining who makes it tbh, except in the older games ched evans because a lot better than he is now/before he went to jail. james vaughan also use to turn out really good but tbh, without the injuries i think he would have been a really good prem striker

 

[steele]

He's barely good enough for Rosenborg. Had a fantastic debut season at the age of 17, but the second and thirs season have been mediocre. No way he'll be good enough for Everton.

Agree
