Market

Altin Ujkani asks to leave IK Start

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $1.6M sale of Tom Strannegård

He is going to Sarpsborg 08, the club has $1.6M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market

IK Start sell Tom Strannegård for $1.6M

Tom Strannegård has left for Sarpsborg 08 in a $1.6M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Player ratings

Jesper Cornelius 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.

Squad

Tempers go at IK Start

Jacob Pryts was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Eyes on Johan Meyer again

The phone has started ringing about Johan Meyer again, and this time the name on the line is Rosenborg. IK Start are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Words at IK Start training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Markus Soomets 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

No hiding place for Terry Benjamin

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

Match

IK Start come up short against Molde

Molde left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market

IK Start say no — this time

The offer from Lillestrom for Tom Strannegård was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Erlend Segberg asks to leave IK Start

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at IK Start

Tom Strannegård was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Markus Soomets 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for IK Start against Rosenborg

0‑2 to Rosenborg, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

AGF join the queue for Jasper Torkildsen

Add another name to the list: AGF have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Jasper Torkildsen. The answer from IK Start has not changed — yet.

Player ratings

Tom Strannegård runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

The wait goes on for IK Start

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Tempers go at IK Start

Jacob Pryts was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at IK Start

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

Words at IK Start training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Markus Soomets 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.

Market

IK Start promote Morten Sorloth from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Morten Sorloth has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

IK Start promote Patrick Ryerson from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Patrick Ryerson has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Sander Selnaes joins the IK Start first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Sander Selnaes is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

IK Start promote Henrik Bohinen from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Henrik Bohinen has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
