The Bodo/Glimt Courier
Player ratings10 Apr 2028
Joel Mvuka runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Market10 Apr 2028
Not going: Magnus Bech Riisnæs stays at Bodo/Glimt
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” IK Start had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.
Transfer targets10 Apr 2028
Bossman Debra turns down Bodo/Glimt
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.
Squad10 Apr 2028
Patrick Berg 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 Bodo/Glimt this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

As if he never left: Henrik Falchener returns
Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Henrik Falchener is a Bodo/Glimt player again, and the town has its story of the summer.
Boardroom10 Apr 2028
5 academy graduates step up at Bodo/Glimt
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Words at Bodo/Glimt training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Arthur is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Match8 Apr 2028
Valerenga take the points off Bodo/Glimt
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout10 Apr 2028
The manager makes an example of Arthur
“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.
In brief
- Market Bodo/Glimt promote Alexander Elyounoussi from within
- Market Morten Meling steps up from the Bodo/Glimt academy
