Market

Only the photograph left for Kevin Salazar

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Kevin Salazar will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Stabaek the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Haniel Samson: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Stabaek have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Magnus Lankhof Dahlby

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

William Wendt 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 Stabaek this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Stabaek come up short against Molde

Molde left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The team sheet said everything about Anton Drozd

Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Anton Drozd.

Loan watch

Cassander Dreyer has seen enough of KR

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Stabaek, and 1 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

No hiding place for Kevin Salazar

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

Player ratings

Mykola Haiduchyk leaves them behind him

Shots: 7. Goals: none. The chances were there and they were good ones, and they went into the stand, the goalkeeper's arms and the side netting in roughly that order.

Boardroom

Stabaek put Fredrik Riise on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Squad

Haniel Samson keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Stabaek may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Richard Ferrington is the real thing at 20

A season average of 6.62 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Stabaek know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Market

Kristian Onsrud asks to leave Stabaek

“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 Stabaek

Marius Lundemo 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

No hiding place for Fillip Jenssen Riise

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

Market

The Richard Ferrington conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Haugesund will make the call about Richard Ferrington this week. Stabaek have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Market

Mayed Muhsin is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Stabaek has been clear about where Mayed Muhsin stands, which is more than many ever get.

Boardroom

Stabaek pull $2.6M back off the table

The money that was there in the summer is not there now. Nobody upstairs calls this a change of ambition, and everybody downstairs reads it as one.

In brief
