QUOTE
Per Ciljan Skjelbred (born June 16, 1987) is a Norwegian footballer (midfielder) who currently plays for Rosenborg B.K.
Skjelbred started his career at local football club Trygg/Lade. He made an impression, and was selected to compete in a football talent competition entitled Proffdrømmen on Norwegian TV3. Skjelbred won this competition and its first prize, a week's training with Liverpool F.C.[1] He was offered a junior contract with the club, but declined. Instead, he went to the Norwegian club Rosenborg B.K., where he soon made an impression. Skjelbred has been capped for the Norwegian under-16, 17, 18, 19 and 21 national teams.
On May 22, 2005, Skjelbred became the youngest player in the Norwegian Tippeligaen to receive a red card, against Molde F.K.
After scoring a goal in the first match of the 2005 Champions League against Olympiacos, he was tackled in the return match at Lerkendal on November 23 by Ieroklis Stoltidis. Both bones in Skjelbred's lower leg snapped just above the ankle. Although he went in with both legs and had no chance of getting the ball, Stoltidis said he had not meant to harm Skjelbred. Skjelbred returned to football March 10th 2006 in Rosenborg B.K.'s match against Aalesunds Fotballklubb, playing the first half of the match which Rosenborg B.K. won 5-1.
Skjelbred also attends the football academy at KVT in Tiller.

What's that supposed to mean
Rosenborg wonderboy watched by Man Utd and AC Milan
Per Ciljan Skjelbred from Norwegian club Rosenborg has today been linked with a possible move to AC Milan or Man Utd.
Skjelbred had a chance to join Liverpool as a 15 year old, but turned them down and signed for Rosenborg instead.
Ciljan Skjelbred had a difficult last season after coming back from a fractured leg injury, and wasn't at his best, despite winning the league with Rosenborg.
Skjelbred has one year left of his current contract with Rosenborg and a move to one of the bigger clubs in Europe would probably not be a bad idea.
It is not likely that this will happen now in January, but that it can be a move coming up after this season.

Well we have been using the 4-4-1-1 formation more lately, and I am one who believes that you at least need to have 1 winger in order to use that formation to it's full capabilities. And a winger is something we don't have, well we do have Janku but without him we wouldn't have a LB soo....

Now we do!!!
If the news papers are tagging him as a wonderboy , and he's really young, well milan can bring him on, give it on loan for 1-2 seasons, and well, hope it works, but if he's young, bring him on.

Yep but this player that we bought has only made his senior dabut a few months ago.
I think he will find it hard to adjust at first.
This is if we REALLY signed him that is
