Marked 8.54 across it, 10 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Haugesund have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Falkenberg waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Tromso is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 8.39 over the month and 5 goal contributions, from a Stabaek player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Stabaek, and it is not being withdrawn.

4 assists across the month from a Haugesund player marked 8.54. Somebody has to open the door before anybody walks through it, and nobody in the league opened more.
