Boardroom5 Apr 2027

Deadline passes with 14 signed and 6 gone

That is the business done at KFUM Oslo until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Fredrik Berglie in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at KFUM Oslo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Words at KFUM Oslo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Brage Skaret 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 dugout5 Apr 2027

The manager makes an example of Brage Skaret

“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.

Transfer targets5 Apr 2027

A loan move for Sami Bouhoudane is in the works

KFUM Oslo have made the call to PSV. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market5 Apr 2027

Talks stall between KFUM Oslo and Jonas Hjorth

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout5 Apr 2027

Martin Vinjor 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 KFUM Oslo, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad5 Apr 2027

A step back for Thomas Ekroll at KFUM Oslo

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad5 Apr 2027

A promotion for Oliver Braude

Not a new contract, not a new number: a new place in the manager’s thinking, which is the only promotion in football that actually matters. Oliver Braude has moved up it.

Squad1 Mar 2027

The knee: Krzysztof Bąkowski out for 22 days

22 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. KFUM Oslo lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market1 Mar 2027

KFUM Oslo turn down IFK Goteborg for Oliver Midtgård

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

Magnus Wolff Eikrem frozen out at KFUM Oslo

This is not rotation. Magnus Wolff Eikrem has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at KFUM Oslo is pretending otherwise.

Market1 Mar 2027

Magnus Wolff Eikrem attracts admirers

The name of Magnus Wolff Eikrem has come up in conversations KFUM Oslo were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market1 Mar 2027

Thomas Ekroll 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 KFUM Oslo can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets1 Mar 2027

KFUM Oslo rebuffed over Omar Janneh

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Hull City have kept their man, and KFUM Oslo go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Brage Skaret in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at KFUM Oslo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Alagie Sanyang wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at KFUM Oslo can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad1 Feb 2027

The knee: Bjørn Martin Kristensen out for 22 days

22 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. KFUM Oslo lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Mansour Sinyan 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 KFUM Oslo can pretend not to have heard.

Thomas Ekroll told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Thomas Ekroll has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at KFUM Oslo.

The dugout1 Feb 2027

The manager makes an example of Mansour Sinyan

“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.

Squad1 Feb 2027

A wage question at KFUM Oslo

Magnus Wolff Eikrem has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.
