Victor Kristiansen

[Wymsey]

His desire to want to move forward is a little under-rated.

A 21 year old Danish international with lots of potential to improve !!!  This lad needs come to training camp & show Cooper what he is capable of.  He has tons of talent & could definitely improve our team !

Yes we're hardly spoilt for choice either -  neither Thomas or James are convincing at left back 

 

I'd definitely give the lad a really good look in pre season 

[Scotch]

As I've said before, from what I've seen of him, he seems far more suited to the LB role than LWB and I think having a winger like Mav infront of him suits both players. 

 

I also think that signing someone like sessegnon who can offer back up to both those players AND offer a wingback option would be ideal.

Best LB we have and would cost in excess of 17-20m to replace him.

 

Keep, develop and sell to Chelsea in 12 months for 45m

Sessengnon makes a lot of sense with his versatility and him holding the world record for hitting both posts and the crossbar.

Well being as we own him and left backs are hard to come by in this country, it would be stupid to not give him another chance.

I think it’s easy to forget with Kristiansen he came into a struggling side having just turned 20, midway through a danish league season. I’m by no means an expert on the danish league, but I imagine the intensity is not as high as the premier league. I would be very interested to see him back after a successful loan at Bologna, with a full pre season under his belt, and see what he can do. He clearly has potential, and still only 21, not 22 until December

I thought Vik played well in the euros and was quite effective for Denmark on the left. Guess it comes down to how cooper wants to use him

[Guest]

Keep. He arrived as a relatively inexperienced player making a big step up into a team where literally nobody was playing well and in Barnes had a player in front of him who couldn't be much less interested in defending. If we were being linked with a 21-year-old left back who had just spent the season as first choice in a team who qualified for the Champions League, we would be buzzing. Our other left back options are Justin who is made of Quavers and Thomas who is miles off being a top flight athlete.

[Bergen fox]

Sell

rabbit in headlights comes to mind.

[majaco]

our full backs currently are Ricardo, Choudhury, Justin, VK and Thomas.

 

Unless we get someone in, we should keep VK.  Thomas does not seem good enough.  Ricardo may need to move to midfield permanently.   Choudhury is a good back up right back; I think he is a better rb than midfielder because his vision is more suited to the game being in front of him.  IMO, Justin is a top full back.  VK has the potential to be very good.

He got dropped after the second match. 

[FOXYTALK]

Keep need the depth unless the offer received is a plus in amortisation colomn.

[gerrytaggart]

Personally I like him, the lads got pashun.

[MPH]

A year more experienced  and a year of improvements.

 

bring him in to pre-season and see how he copes

[ts_1010]

No reason to sell him, unless he really wants to go. I think cooper needs to sit him down and tell him where and how he's going to play. Almost resell the club to him. 

 

He was signed to be an attacking left back and get down to the opposite touch line. Had an inconsistent start to life in the pl. Then Maresca told him he was going to play center back. As long as Cooper wants fullbacks who can attack, then he has a role here.

 

 

[Salieri]

If he’s committed to being here and Cooper fancies him in his set up, I reckon he could be a big player for us next season. 

[UniFox21]

"There could be a few other departures: decisions have to be made on the futures of Victor Kristiansen and Boubakary Soumare, who were both out on loan last season."

I think we should definitely keep him. Well maybe anyway. Probably. If he wants to go he can go. Get rid at all costs.

Not sure I've ever been on the fence as much with a player as I am with VK.

 

He's both impressed and concerned me in equal measure! Young players in a nutshell though I guess.

[Haywood_6]

I'm reserving judgement on him because he joined the club whilst we were in freefall. I don't think it was his fault. Only time will tell if he can play at PL level. He deserves a chance after his spell at Bologna though

[SouthStandUpperTier]

If we're sticking to a back 3 I'd be concerned for him as I don't think he's a wing-back at all. The Danish coach tried him there in the Euros and he was dropped by the 3rd group game. Bologna played a back 4 with traditional full-backs, and I believe that's where he's at his best.

They’ve already snapped up Juan Miranda so I don’t think they’ll be shelling out for another LB
