Match

Molde march on in the cup

Odd are out and Molde go through, 2‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match

Cruel end for Odd as Molde pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Molde scored in the 118th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Player ratings

Blerton Isufi, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.82

A mark of 7.82 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Only the photograph left for Vebjørn Hoff

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Vebjørn Hoff will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Molde the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market

Molde say no — this time

The offer from HB Køge for Kristoffer Barmen 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.

Transfer targets

Oscar Vilhelmsson will not be coming to Molde

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Preußen Münster is saying, and nobody at Molde is enjoying the guessing.

Boardroom

Vebjørn Hoff has agreed to leave Molde for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Market

Business is business: Albert Posiadała goes

Crvena Zvezda paid $1.2M and Molde took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Molde walk away from Marcus Melchior

$490.0K was the most the club would pay and Sandefjord were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Player ratings

Kristian Eriksen beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 32. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

Molde turn down Tromso for Jalal Abdullai

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

Player ratings

Mats Møller Dæhli goes up and wins it — 7.93

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.93 for the rest of it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Molde

Eirik Hestad and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Stade de Reims tell Molde: Oumar Diakité is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The terraces

Molde supporters have found a favourite in Oskar Spiten-Nysæter

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 18-year-old it feels ownership of. Oskar Spiten-Nysæter has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Oskar Spiten-Nysæter the difference as Molde beat Tromso

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Oskar Spiten-Nysæter. 2‑0 against Tromso, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Market

Eyes on Sondre Granaas again

The phone has started ringing about Sondre Granaas again, and this time the name on the line is Kongsvinger. Molde are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Igor Gosik signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Igor Gosik and Molde agree another 4 years.

In brief
