From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Måns Berggren is on his way

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

Squad

Mamadou Kouyaté stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mamadou Kouyaté and Gefle agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

A row about effort at Gefle

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Gefle

Eric Larsson 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.

One of our own: Dejan Olsson joins the Gefle first team

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

Market

Gefle promote Patrik Hiljemark from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Patrik Hiljemark 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Hannes Bäck

“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

Talks stall between Gefle and Måns Berggren

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout

Alem Nezirević 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 Alem Nezirević trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

In brief
