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

It means "for attention of". At least one mystery solved.

Oh yes it does; 'For the Attention Of'. See
http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?String=exact&Acronym=FAO

If it is For Attention Only, it does not even parse. So I can only pay attention to it but
nothing else?

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>"?

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.

He is is "simple" player. He usually goes for the simplest solutions. No
fancy stuff for the crowd. I guess it`s a good thing if you`re not a
real madrid player....
