(no idea what FAO means but everybody uses it)

Odense Boldklub (OB) here in Denmark just signed Alexander Aas from Odd
Grenland on a free transfer.. Do you know anything about this guy?

Cheers,

Mikael

I've often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can't get my girlfriend to

All right then. I learnt something today.

No, but only the name that follows FAO should play attention to it.

Shouldn't it then be "for attention of only <name>" and not "for
attention only <name>"? :-P

He`s a football player and he`s been in the national side. He`s a strong
player and Rosenborg wanted him a few years ago, but they got Robbie
Russel (usa national team) instead. The team he played for, Odd, is not
a team a good player get to show his stuff in. Hard work, and mid table.
I think he`s a good signing.

Thanks. That's pretty much what they say here too. We are losing a
couple of defensive players during the next 6 months, so good
replacemente is needed. Fernando Derveld - a dutch left back (the best
for several years in the danish league) is going to Herenveen on a free
transfer, so the signing of Aas is a bit comforting.
