Transfer talk
Vålerenga's goal keeper Troy Perkins has left the club. He will go back to DC United, the club he played for from 2004 to 2007.
Vålerenga is now trying to find a new first keeper, and Espen Bugge Pettersen(Sandefjord) and Rune Jarstein(Rosenborg) are among the candidates, however the former Tromsø and Rosenborg player Lars Hirschfeld seems to be the hottest tip, the Canadian is currently second choice in the German club Energie Cottbus
SlySports' Transfer Clockwatch this morning reported this:
07:40 Reports in Norway are suggesting Fulham's £4.7million bid for Rosenborg's Norway international Per Ciljan Skjelbred has been accepted. Something to look out for Cottagers fans.
but Skjelbred agent Andreas Ekker says he has not heard anything, neither from Fulham nor Rosenborg.
Former CSKA Moskva player Erik "Panzer" Hagen says he would be interested in finishing his career in Hønefoss, the 34-year-old Vålerenga defender is currently recovering from a hip surgery.

About the financial situation
We've wanted to write more about the financial crisis in many Norwegian clubs, but it's difficult because the newspapers don't write much about it anymore. The 14th of January is the date when NFF will start investigating the clubs, so we'll probably have more information soon.
What we know:
FC Lyn is now safe. Various investors have invested over 6 million NOK since the end of November. They've lost 14(!) players, cut the wages(some of the players now have to work outside football as well to make a living), they've fired one coach, and will now play their home games on Bislett Stadium rather than Ullevaal stadium (which they used to rent for a high price, especially compared to the fact that they only had about 5000 attending their home games.)
Fredrikstad has also managed to collect money, more than 5 million NOK, however they owe 400,000 NOK to Sarpsborg 08, money Fredrikstad owe after a qualifying match in November. Sarpborg has given Fredrikstad 14 days to pay them back.
The last time we heard from Tromsø was in the middle of December, they had then raised more than 10 million NOK, but were still short of more than 5 millions.
IK Start is probably safe. The city of Kristiansand's cultural foundation has agreed to give the club 6 million NOK if they managed to get the same amouth of money from another source as well, and they have. Three local investors have opened up their wallets.

Another attacker leaves Molde
Jose Mota will go on loan to the South-Korean club Samsung.
"The Koreans have offered Jose a deal that from what I understand is difficult to turn down. It is clear that it would have been good to have Jose play for us this season, but I have good hope that we can replace him with a couple of good players, so I'm not worried. We had never agreed to this agreement if we had not though we would get stronger from this, " Kjell Jonevret says to moldefk.no.

Transfers
Tromsø and Rosenborg have agreed about Morten Moldskred, Rosenborg have been trying to sign the goal-getter since this summer, and Moldskred is now on his way to Trondheim to discuss a contract.
Rosenborg has also signed Norwegian Fredrik Winsnes and the Swedish goalkeeper Daniel Örlund.
Hønefoss have kept themselves busy during the transfer window, with several good signings. Maybe most interesting is the Ivorian Davy Claude Angan from FC Lyn. They are also close to signing Kristian Örn Sigurdson from Brann. Update: Sigurdson has now signed with the newly promoted club!
The best signing in Norway so far might be Patrik Ingelsten's transfer to Viking. The 27-year-old has signed a four year contract.
Rune Ertsås is ready for the French club Tours. The attacker from Molde was sold for 1 million NOK. Edit: Ertsås has not signed any contract yet and has returned to Norway.
