Terms done: Daníel Finns Matthíasson is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and IBV waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Stjarnan is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

6 saves: Árni Snær Ólafsson was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Stjarnan say no — this time
The offer from Valur for Jón Hrafn Barkarson 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.

A goal and an assist for Benedikt V. Warén — 7.97
Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.97 beside his name.

Damil Dankerlui beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Birnir Snær Ingason stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Birnir Snær Ingason and Stjarnan agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Door shut on Montader Madjed
Stjarnan asked and Hammarby said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Stjarnan promote Olafur Magnusson from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Olafur Magnusson 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.
In brief
