Market

Niklas Jokelainen is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at AC Oulu is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The dugout

Niklas Schulz keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” AC Oulu may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Words exchanged at AC Oulu

Mihailo Bogićević 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.

Squad

8 new faces, and AC Oulu are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Loan watch

Iiro Mendolin has seen enough of TPS

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at AC Oulu, and 0 appearances in 9 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

A row about effort at AC Oulu

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Julius Körkkö was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

A falling-out at AC Oulu

Miguel Santos and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

Niklas Jokelainen asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

The Jetmir Haliti story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Jetmir Haliti signs something — a contract at AC Oulu or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market

Santeri Silander has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

A falling-out at AC Oulu

Mihailo Bogićević and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Words at AC Oulu training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Julius Körkkö 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.

Squad

Alex Lietsa slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Alex Lietsa is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

Squad

Rasmus Karjalainen named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Rasmus Karjalainen is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Market

Still no ink between AC Oulu and Niklas Jokelainen

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at AC Oulu, another week without a signature from Niklas Jokelainen.

The dugout

No hiding place for Niklas Schulz

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Niklas Schulz, and the manager let it.

The dugout

When it matters, Santeri Silander plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Looking ahead

Matias Ojala goes back to face IFK Mariehamn

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Matias Ojala’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and AC Oulu needing him to play as if none of it matters.
