I was a little surprised to see us receive a youth intake this spring, because I thought Norwegian clubs welcomed their youth candidates in the fall.
Svendsen is clearly the pick of the litter, but he is far, far from a finished product, and at 5’8”, might not remain a center back for long.
Hansen is a pacy right back with good marking and tackling skills, but he needs to become more comfortable with the ball at his feet.
If my staff evaluations are accurate, most of the other youngsters have limited potential. Some of them do have positive personalities which might enable them to develop into useful players.
Bo is a perhaps the best example of one of these players.
For now, I’ll keep all of them, but I'm not too excited about most of them.
