Gotta random hunch it could be James Keene.

He scored twice against IFK Gothenborg on tuesday and is contracted until 2014 but on loan to Djurgardens so perhaps Elsborg want to move him on

If we had a position then we could make some educated guesses, lots of good players in Scandinavia and several English players playing there, which I think could be more likely than a different national after the debacle of some of the foreign signings last year.

Might explain why he is keen to move Connell off the wage bill in the same time frame.

I was not taking a lot of notice but I thought PDC did say on the radio this morning it was a foreign player, currently playing in a foreign league - there again Paolo might just be playing mind games with us!!!

He does like to do that, I enjoy that in him. The player is probably English and playing in England knowing Paolo!

Might be someone from Norwegian Football as well as Oliver Risser has been her a couple of seasons...

Might be his scouting? Hope not!

Well, anyway it will be exiting - but I guess Di Canio has learned from last year to be a bit more reserved on the impact foreign players will have in english lower league football....

James Keene is an interesting player and he will of course be great!

I have a hunch that it is either a striker or a central defender... might be a goalie as well as we need another back up there...

So. you have a hunch it might be a striker, or a central defender, or a goalkeeper?

I see Wikipedia have made a silly typo in their piece on Keene.  They quote him as saying 'I would love to play for Sweden'!!!Easy error to make to put an 'e' instead of an 'in'... ::)
