Squad

A falling-out at IFK Norrkoping

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

Market

SonderjyskE are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. IFK Norrkoping will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

Words at IFK Norrkoping training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Simon Johansson 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Simon Johansson

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

The Emiliano Marcondes 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

The manager makes Ryan Nelson a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at IFK Norrkoping. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Squad

A falling-out at IFK Norrkoping

Christoffer Nyman 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 IFK Norrkoping

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

The dugout

Jonas Weber 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.

The dugout

Alexander Fransson 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 Alexander Fransson 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. IFK Norrkoping know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

Åke Andersson has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and IFK Norrkoping will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

Match

IFK Norrkoping throw away a 2-goal lead

2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Orebro the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that IFK Norrkoping will enjoy reviewing.

Player ratings

Both of them Elias Jemal's — 8.19

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.19, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Mbaye Cissé could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.90

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.90, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Transfer targets

IFK Norrkoping make their move for Noah Persson

$3.2M on the table at Hammarby. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

A move Emiliano Marcondes would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Emiliano Marcondes is living that version at IFK Norrkoping, and it tends to show in the first month.

Player ratings

Åke Andersson, 19, steals the show — 7.72

Marked 7.72 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

A falling-out at IFK Norrkoping

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

Squad

Elias Jemal 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

Noel Hansson will join IFK Norrkoping for nothing

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