“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Malte Hallin commits to GIF Sundsvall for another 5 years.

Words at GIF Sundsvall training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kevin Ackermann is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Marc Manchón was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Something was said to Ben Engdahl and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Jakob Jäger Röding has his answer from GIF Sundsvall; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
91 minutes played. Kevin Ackermann found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Landskrona BoIS went from a point to nothing inside one movement.
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Alieu Atlee Manneh did not need any: 7.61, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around GIF Sundsvall they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
1 for Kevin Ackermann, marked 7.85, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.
1 for Hugo Aviander, marked 7.53, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.
GIF Sundsvall have gone to HamKam with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.
The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 12 arrived, 0 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.
Suwaibou Kebbeh, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.87
A mark of 7.87 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Lucas Forsberg and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Malte Hallin and GIF Sundsvall agree another 5 years.
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Suwaibou Kebbeh has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
The phone has started ringing about Daniel Henareh again, and this time the name on the line is Falkenberg. GIF Sundsvall are listening politely and promising nothing.
