The Bryne Post

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Nicklas Strunck has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Bryne they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Market

Jacob Haahr hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bryne can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Real improvement from Fabian Engedal at Bryne

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Fabian Engedal is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Villads Nielsen falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom

Bryne agree a free transfer for Malvin Ingebrigtsen

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Squad

Patrick Wik signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Patrick Wik commits to Bryne for another 4 years.

Squad

Sjur Jonassen in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bryne this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Bryne keep their word to Villads Nielsen

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The dugout

Jaran Østrem gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief
