Leon Andreason
Niclas Jensen
Peter Moller

and, of an entirely different pedigree:

Bjarne Goldbaek

[sunburywhite]

anti nyemi

[NorthernWhite]

Don't forget Erik Nevland from Norway!

He scored some very important goals in our Great Escape season.

Another man better left alone in Finland: Toni Kallio

[sunburywhite]

I would never have got Moller

[The Doctor]

Don't forget Erik Nevland from Norway!

Deary me, a shocking oversight 

[sunburywhite]

Lauri Dalla Valle

[The King]

Jesse Joronen, the academy keeper is a Finn too and Alex Kacaniklic is Swedish.

[Nick the Swede]

Well, as Finland is not part of Scandinavia we have to either drop all Finns or change it to teh Nordics which would include the Icelandic players we've had  on the books :clap_hands:

[Mr Fulham]

Don't forget Erik Nevland from Norway!

He scored some very important goals in our Great Escape season.

I'm still angry that we didn't offer him a contract extension. He was great, one of my favourite Fulham players over the past few years.

[HatterDon]

I'm still angry that we didn't offer him a contract extension. He was great, one of my favourite Fulham players over the past few years.

Gentleman Jim is still in tears over his departure also.

I remember that he and his family wanted to go home and his parting was very amicable. He had his limitations, but man what a finisher off the bench.

Top man off the pitch too. He did a lot of charity work on his holidays in Africa. I tip my hat to him.

And how many on that list would you say were good signings?

My good ones:
Norway:
Hangeland
Nevland

Finland:
Antti Niemi before he hit his head

Sweden:
Definitely none

Denmark:
Arguably none.

Right, I'll argue that with Bjarne Goldbaek.  Granted, his finest games were when we were in Division 1 but we got some good service out of him during our first Prem season.  I remember one game where he single-handedly destroyed Bolton

Loved watching "Barney" and Stevie Finnan wreaking havoc down the right hand side, class act and don't you forget it Finnster !

I said "arguably" because he had some injury issues but to be fair I think he can be ticked off as a good signing too.
