Hopefully with the money made getting through to play Rapid the chairman will give Goodwin a bit more finances to play with.
New signing:Julius Eskesen
Julius Eskesen has been a key player for Haugesund in recent years, but now the parties are parting ways.
TV 2 has been informed that Haugesund has reached an agreement with the Scottish top club Dundee United regarding a transfer for the 26-year-old.
Eskesen's contract ? who has played a total of 85 games for Haugesund in the Eliteserien ? expires after the season, and therefore Haugesund has been open to selling the Dane now.
As TV 2 understands it, Haugesund will not receive a transfer fee now, but instead bonuses if certain outcomes occur. Haugesund has also secured resale percentages.
? It is true that Julius is leaving. We will receive a small transfer fee and a larger resale clause, sporting director Jostein Grindhaug told Haugesunds Avis earlier Monday.
However, he would not reveal which club he was talking about.
Julius Eskesen has not played for Haugesund since July 6th against Sarpsborg 08 due to injury, but the medical test is not expected to be a challenge. It is expected to be done on Tuesday.
Jostein Grindhaug in Haugesund does not wish to comment on TV 2's information. General manager Martin Fauskanger has not responded to TV 2's inquiries.
The fact they are willing to focus on a sell on clause rather than a transfer fee suggests they are confident that he will progress.

A friendly word of advice, be very wary of anything a large language model has to say, especially about niche things like Dundee United.
