Squad

Antonio Yakoub signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Antonio Yakoub commits to Orebro for another 3 years.

Transfer targets

An offer of $34.0K for Victor Svensson

Orebro have gone to IK Sirius with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Boardroom

Orebro beat the market to Marc Manchón from GIF Sundsvall

GIF Sundsvall will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Marc Manchón has pre-agreed a move to Orebro, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Julian Faye Lund

Orebro asked and Bodo/Glimt said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Martin Granqvist steps up from the Orebro academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Martin Granqvist has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Orebro promote Adam Forsberg from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Adam Forsberg 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: John Claesson joins the Orebro first team

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

One of our own: Jakob Olsson joins the Orebro first team

The dugout

Samuel Wikman gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief
