Match

The cup run ends for IFK Norrkoping

0‑3 against BK Hacken, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market

Abdoulie Tamba agrees terms with Umeå FC

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around IFK Norrkoping people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Ryan Nelson puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at IFK Norrkoping, and it is not being withdrawn.

The terraces

IFK Norrkoping are taken apart by BK Hacken — and the town wants answers

It finished 0-3. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Áki Samuelsen

IFK Norrkoping asked and Mjällby said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets

IFK Norrkoping baulk at the price for Ramon Pascal Lundqvist

IFK Goteborg wanted more than $2.8M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets

IFK Norrkoping bid $330.0K for Noah Söderberg

The offer went to Öster this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Player ratings

Mbaye Cissé runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Albert Aleksanjan ran the middle of the pitch — 6.61

He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 13 combined actions and a mark of 6.61, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Squad

Mbaye Cissé signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mbaye Cissé and IFK Norrkoping agree another 4 years.

The dugout

When it matters, David Mitov Nilsson 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.

The dugout

Fabian Holst-Larsen knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at IFK Norrkoping, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

The Moutaz Neffati talk will not go away

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

The dugout

A door opens for Alexander Fransson

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.

Squad

Jonas Weber takes up the language

The least glamorous thing a foreign signing ever does and the one that decides most of them. A player who can hear the shout behind him is a different footballer from one who cannot.
