Very good signing for Fulham. Whats the fee?

 

[Mike]

Excellent capture, can't wait to see him again in the Premier League.

 

[5ICK]

So he'll play with his brother, isn't he?

Great signing for cottagers.

:wub:

 

[Fonzie]

A fee of about £2m if I recall correctly. Great signing, much better than Salcido plus he's got the best left foot in Europe. :wub: I think we need a few more Norwegian internationals.

 

[Jack Fulham]

Quality signing for small fee. Still a few more years in him, never been a full back that relied on his pace really.

 

[Ride The Walrus]

Great player! Zeered off in his last two or so years, but looked good for Roma. Still, lack of pace will be the worry. But his free kicks <3

 

[Blynd1]

Well... At least someone good for the free kicks. Good signing.

 

[Jake]

Fills the gap left by Konchesky, who despite his laughable efforts for Liverpool, was always excellent for Fulham.

I look forward to another extended European tour with the help of Riise's experience.

 

[JDY]

Always liked Riise, good signing. :wub:

Release the Kracken!!!!


Brilliant signing for Fulham, where will Salcido go now? Still a good player even if he didnt fit in at Fulham.

 

[Broyston]

Being a Liverpool fan, I don't know whether I am just being nostalgic, but I am a little upset we didn't go back for him, after all we are chasing a left back and a left winger, both of which Riise could play. He will do well for Fulham. Good luck John.

Back to Mexico I imagine, he's a good player but never really adapted to English football or culture, he's been robbed about 3 or 4 times since he's moved here as well. Shame it didn't work out really.

Think there is a fee involved, something 'nominal' of around 2-3 million, can't remember the story is a few days old I think but he's pretty much out the door your right.

Best thing to happen to Riise was Carew decking him. Arguably, Bellamy attacking him with a golf club was more amusing. This man is probably the most hated Norwegian in Norway, bar Quisling.

Ooh, really? Why? Carew's a nice bloke, must've had a good enough reason...

Wait, wasn't Quisling that ****? Are you telling me Riise has bee- *redacted on grounds of bad taste*

that's pretty hated

Riise is an uppity wee *****, to put it lightly. He's sometimes quite funny, as when he texted the whole of Norway's A, B and C list stars, telling them they could be the new Posh and Becks. Hilarity ensued! But he's a massive ****. He does however have a mean left foot and he's a good player, but he's not a very likeable person, his mum even less so (she used to be his agent). Riise went bankrupt a few years ago, I believe.
