I know I've said this before and it means very little, but it says he's a Leeds player on Wiki. :crazy:

He might be a good signing an Icelandic international, a team who aren't that bad currently.
We are Leeds, we have to believe our new players are good enough, encourage and support them and help them grow in to a team to be reckoned with. MoT

And holy crap, you will not believe who his manager was at Viking, Any guesses? Anyone? I'll give you a hint: it's rhymes with "gooey tossler." Or is it "groov-ay tossler"? Well, no matter how you pronounce it, I think it's fairly obvious who I'm talking about.

Iceland are a decent side these days, so if he's a regular for them I'd be delighted to welcome him to Valhalla, I mean, Elland Road :D

I managed to find a team photo of him with them when he was a bit younger :

Linked to another centre midfielder, I would be surprised if we signed someone in that position Its the 1 area I think we are covered in with Cook,Murphy and Mowatt. I would rather see us spend the money on a winger.

According to Phil Hay, we're after a left winger and a central midfielder to complete our transfer business. Bjarnason is a free agent, by the way.

Bjarnson can play left wing also I read somewhere.I would like to see us sign an experienced goalkeeper, A winger or 2 and another striker and a centre back.Thats a lot to ask for and I dont expect it, but I think we could do with it!. I think 1 winger a striker and a centre back should be priority.I would get rid of Doukara and definitely Bianchi if possible.

I wonder does Jerome Thomas have anything to offer he was released by Palace recently and has been here before could be an option, I would prefer somebody a bit more experienced than Barker for the wing.
