Good stuff. Fingers crossed, looks an exciting prospect.

Any idea on fee?

Since many experts and soccer fans in Sweden knows he is the biggest talent since Zlatan from Sweden we talk about atleast 4 million£ and up.. If we say so,If he played in Dutch league know and somebody would like to make an offer the price would be atleast 11 million £.. It is just that he playes here in Sweden(not the biggest league

) the price can not be higher..

The wheels are rolling.

Let's just wait for them to fall off

Papers have said that they want 50M Sek for him.. equivalent of about £4M. My guess is that £4M up front and £1M on appearances (club and/or country) and/or goals will be enough.

Sky sports saying.....Sky sources: Everton in talks with Kalmar over the signing of Elm. It was on the prem league news at the bottom.

osjaol · August 4, 2009

Yeah, just been on SSN that we're in talks to sign him - whatever that means.

Alwaysablue · August 4, 2009

Yeah just seen that, just hope we can get a few in before next week. We not been playing the best and i think it will lift the team.

from NSNO

"I want to join a club where the coach gives me big confidence," said Elm.

"I got a good impression of David Moyes. I don't close the door to any league, but the Premier League is more tempting than the Eredivisie.

"The overall picture is important, but the biggest club is not necessarily the right one for me."

Not that we're a small club, but it really sounds like this kid's head is in the right place, sounds like he's got an excellent attitude for someone that young, i'd really like to get him signed up.

I'd like to agree with that but the cynic in me is more inclined to think that the delay is just a case of him waiting in hope that the likes of Shiteh will come in with another bid that gives him double what anyone else can offer for his wallet. :unsure:

I do hope I am proved wrong though!

Wrong proven you will be. Don't think Moyes will allow himself to get pipped a second time.

Hope you're right but in that case, why isn't anything happening? Why have he news of our interest been out for two weeks and we still haven't made an offer? Are we waiting for the other clubs to place their offers?

Mrs Moyes is still counting out the 5 pence pieces that they keep in a large whisky bottle in the corner of the Moyes dining rooom for rainy days :lol:
