Danish outlet 442 has a brief video interview with fresh Aalborg recruit Marcus Tracy, longingly entitled "The American Henry?". Unfortunately, I have no idea what AaB chairman Lynge Jakobsen (one of the nicest and funniest execs in Europe to my experience) is saying.
On this note, I had an excellent interview with Marcus today, and you will find that up at Soccer365 in the morning.
UPDATE: The Tracy feature is now up.
More programming notes: I also kicked it around this weekend with Aston Villa backline apprentice Eric Lichaj, so that too will go up at S365 tomorrow.
As for NSC, I am planning to do a Liverpool v. Everton LIVE tomorrow at 2:00 pm ET for all you unlucky folks working a stateside 9-to-5 that can't watch.

And here's a little translation for ya: Lynge Jakobsen says that they would like another striker, but only if he's gonna strengthen the team alot. Aalborg has a lot of young strikers and they deserve the chance unless the club can get a really good striker. As for the Henry thing, its Tracy himself that drew that comparison to himself.
Thanks for the translation help, Henrik!
No problem, that the least I can do, when I'm a dane. If you want help with translation another time you can mail me on henrik87 [at] gmail.com . If you do that I'll translate it more correctly and exactly.
Greg, you'll have some followers on the blog Monday because it's MLK Day. I'm not sure how many people will actually be working.
And here's a full translation:
Lynge: I don't know if anything more is going to happen, but if a striker comes along who can significantly strengthen our squad, then we might do that and we are aware of what is happening on the market, but we may also just say 'that's that'.
The art - and I think it's a difficult one - is finding the balance of using the young players and carry them forward while still having a squad strong enough to reach our objectives. We have a couple of young strikers who still haven't had the chance to show that they're ready and if we keep adding to the top, when will they get to play?
So that balancing is there and therefore, I need to stress that if we take anyone in, it will be someone about whom we can say 'ok, he strengthens our squad significantly - anybody can see that. Even the young players,' and then we'll do that, but I'm not making any guarantees.
Interviewer: Can he be compared to other players?
Lynge: I don't know. He says Thierry Henry and if that holds up, he might play on February 18th (UEFA Cup against Dep. La Coruña).
