a loan deal has been agreed in principal according to Icelandic media. He travels to Valencia next week. Valencia want to sign him permanently in january but Charlton are unsure but his contract will run out in the summer so he can join Valencia permanently then.

Thanks for the info mate.
Can't understand how it is felt he could be good enough for Valencia, but not for us. Valencia must only know about him through us ?
thats proper tits up if you ask me.
Well Valencia have been watching Rurik the past 3 months according to their assistant manager and it has been his performances for the Iceland U-19 and U-21 sides that have impressed them. His performance as the loan striker for the Iceland U-21 side against Italy last september apparently “sold him to them.” There he was one of the best players on the pitch against players like Rossi at Man Utd, Chiellini at Juve, Gurce and Aquilani at Roma, Pazzini at Sampa and many others.
Gianfranco Zola, the Italy assistant manager, praised him after the game saying he was a real talent. He also scored in most of the Iceland U19 matches this year.
Apparently a Valencia scout spotted him in the Iceland U-21 match against Italy but the scout was their to watch Roma playmaker Aquilani and the boll started rolling from there.
I had heard as well from an Icelandic coach 6 months ago that big things were forecast for Gislason and am suprised he has not pushed further here. Really hope he is not the 'one that got away'.
it seems to me that it's just an excuse for a few of the clubs employees to have a 'working' holiday.
come to think about it the academy at sparrows lane isn't producing players anymore so perhaps we should scrap the academies and spend the (estimated) £2m a year it costs to run them on prospects from the lower league. £2m = 4x £500k players (a lot of money to ignore for small clubs). we only need to find a kinsella/robinson type player every couple of years for it to more than pay dividends.
i'll start a new thread with this.
HE SHOULD Be fecking played. I am furious at this. If Valencoa think the kid is good enough he sure as bloody hell should be good enough for us.
Whilst we have to put up with shit like Faye M Bent and JFH this kid is going to come back and haunt ous because BLOODY scared managers ,including Curbishley ,have not got the bollox to give a proper bit of talent the chance.
La Liga by all accounts is not anything like as physical as the Premiership which may explain why Valencia are considering taking a punt on him.
Idiots... if he wants to play, let him play..... were 'the worst team in premiership history' or the worst performance or whatever..... PLAY HIM...........
Christ this is turning into a knightmare.... I hope my mate turns up before I put this computer through the window........
