Marked for Carl Selfvén

Market

Oskar Fallenius has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Carl Selfvén is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

The dugout

When it matters, Piotr Johansson 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.

Market

Miro Tenho has one foot out of the door

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

The dugout

Patric Åslund has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Djurgarden will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

The Jacob Rinne talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Djurgarden know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market

The clock does Jacob Une’s negotiating for him

1 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Djurgarden could ask drops and the wages Jacob Une can ask rise.

The dugout

Carl Selfvén knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Carl Selfvén trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

Questions about Christopher Sliwo on the training pitch

The standards have slipped, and in a building where everybody watches everybody it has not gone unremarked. This is how a player loses a place before he loses one.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Only the photograph left for Jacob Une

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Jacob Une will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Djurgarden the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

6 saves: Jacob Rinne was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match

At last: Djurgarden win one

7 matches without a win, and then this, against IFK Goteborg. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Squad

Real improvement from Carl Selfvén at Djurgarden

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Carl Selfvén is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Boardroom

Adam Engelbrektsson will join Djurgarden for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Adam Engelbrektsson has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Djurgarden have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Match

Bo Hegland sends Djurgarden past IFK Goteborg

It finished 2‑1, and it was Bo Hegland’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Djurgarden.

The terraces

One of their own: Bo Hegland

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The dugout

Daniel Stensson 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.

Squad

Daniel Stensson slips down the pecking order

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