From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Mads Hansen 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 Brommapojkarna can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

A falling-out at Brommapojkarna

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

Squad

A row about effort at Brommapojkarna

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

The dugout

Elton Hedström 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.

Market

Still no ink between Brommapojkarna and Kaare Barslund

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

Market

The Emiliano Marcondes story refuses to die

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

The dugout

A door opens for Marinus Due Grandt

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

The dugout

Robin Larsson 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.

Boardroom

The Brommapojkarna production line keeps running

34 graduates out of an academy now rated 15 out of 20. Clubs this size survive on exactly that, and the town knows every name.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Asbjørn Bøndergaard for 16 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Brommapojkarna will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad

Mads Hansen 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.

Squad

A falling-out at Brommapojkarna

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

The dugout

Hassan Mohamed Yusuf 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.

Market

A long bet from Brommapojkarna on Dag Hallgren

He is 20, and nobody at Brommapojkarna signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Brommapojkarna

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Thomas Drage 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 Thomas Drage trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

The Emiliano Marcondes talk will not go away

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

Market

Brommapojkarna and Simen Rafn are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

In brief
