Squad

A one-man rearguard from Håvar Jenssen

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Only the photograph left for Momodou Njie

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Momodou Njie will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around KFUM Oslo the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Magnus Wolff Eikrem 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.

Squad

Lars Lien out for 48 days

The medical room confirms 48 days on the sidelines for Lars Lien, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match

A bad afternoon for KFUM Oslo against Rosenborg

0‑1 to Rosenborg, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Håkon Helland Hoseth beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout

Ole Ajer answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

Magnus Wolff Eikrem 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.

Market

Still no ink between KFUM Oslo and Ayoub Aleesami

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at KFUM Oslo, another week without a signature from Ayoub Aleesami.

Market

KFUM Oslo say no — this time

The offer from Stromsgodset for Emil Ødegaard 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

Door shut on Tobias Christensen

KFUM Oslo asked and Rapid Bucharest said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Boardroom

KFUM Oslo go back to the board over Sondre Granaas

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $200.0K — a club that wants Sondre Granaas enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Magnus Grødem stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Magnus Grødem and KFUM Oslo agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

An offer of $190.0K for Sondre Granaas

KFUM Oslo have gone to Molde 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.

Squad

Emil Ødegaard 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.

Squad

Magnus Grødem falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Magnus Wolff Eikrem

“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.

Market

KFUM Oslo promote Lars Lien from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Lars Lien 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.
