Do folk not remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haraldur_Ingólfsson? He did make 6 whole appearances for us in 1996-7. Pfft, call yourselves dandies.

I remember we had Haraldur Ingolfsson and also Hermann Hreidarsson on trial at the same time and Roy Aiken didn't think Hermann Hreidarsson was good enough ffs

I didn't remember that part! I did a quick search and found an interview with him:

Quote

“I was magnificent during that trial! We played two games, won both easily and I scored in the two wins.

“Aberdeen then offered me a contract. It was my first experience of a professional club and I loved the atmosphere around the place.

“Why did I not sign? They offered me a c*** contract. It was an absolute joke, really.

“You get a feeling if a club really wants you and that didn’t happen with Aberdeen.

“I knocked it back. I decided to see what else was out there and ended up signing for Crystal Palace. The rest is history.”

I imagine they censored "crap", but that's not what I read the first time

I remember a few mates went to watch that trial games and they said Hermann Hreidarsson looked really good.

I remember watching him when I was 10 at Easter Road, and realising even then that he was... limited.

I've spent many a year trying to forget about him and some of the other dross we had around that time.

Aye. Haraldur has defied repression though.

The article makes clear that even if a deal is agreed getting a work permit could be difficult and likely would need to go through an appeal.

It also makes it sound like the loan of RB Jack Gurr from Atlanta is definitely happening.

Scott Burns is some boy with all the inside info.

5 strikers on the shortlist... interesting

and yes seems like Gurr is a done deal.

Poor effort from Scott this time though being beat to the exclusive by @Dad

Would think his wages would be an issue as well as list published by MLS has them being USD 775,000 before bonuses.

I know it’s early days. But are alarm bells of “this could easily descend into a farce” ringing to anyone else? 

Not really yet no. Maybe once a few more players are in I might be a bit more optimistic or pessimistic but very much still in the wait and see stage.
