Market4 Dec 2028

Johan Meyer 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 dugout4 Dec 2028

Terry Benjamin: 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.” IK Start have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market4 Dec 2028

Storm Strand-Kolbjørnsen is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at IK Start is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad4 Dec 2028

Eirik Schulze stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Eirik Schulze and IK Start agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad4 Dec 2028

Words exchanged at IK Start

Jacob Pryts 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.

Squad4 Dec 2028

A row about effort at IK Start

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

Market4 Dec 2028

Still no ink between IK Start and Jacob Pryts

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at IK Start, another week without a signature from Jacob Pryts.

Squad4 Dec 2028

Pietro Miranda is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Pietro Miranda has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

The dugout4 Dec 2028

Eirik Schulze 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 IK Start, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Kristian Hjelvik Halvorsen 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.

Market20 Nov 2028

Only the photograph left for Erlend Segberg

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Erlend Segberg will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around IK Start the goodbyes have quietly begun.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

No hiding place for Altin Ujkani

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

When it matters, Håkon Lorentzen plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout20 Nov 2028

Erlend Segberg 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 Erlend Segberg trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market20 Nov 2028

Håkon Lorentzen linked with a move away

The name of Håkon Lorentzen keeps appearing in other people's back pages. IK Start say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad20 Nov 2028

Max Hæstad wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and IK Start will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.
