Market

Mamadouba Diaby has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Degerfors they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

The dugout

Jesús Hernández: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Degerfors have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A row about effort at Degerfors

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

Squad

Sebastian Ohlsson 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 Degerfors this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Still no ink between Degerfors and Matvei Igonen

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

Market

The Marcus Rafferty story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Marcus Rafferty signs something — a contract at Degerfors or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad

Matvei Igonen wants to know why he earns less

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and Degerfors have no good answer.

The dugout

The manager makes Erik Lindell a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Degerfors. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

The dugout

Oskar Gabrielsson 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 Oskar Gabrielsson trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Hammarby come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Degerfors did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Nasiru Moro has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Degerfors they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom

Nasiru Moro signs for Mjällby while still at Degerfors

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Nasiru Moro has agreed terms with Mjällby for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Tempers go at Degerfors

Matvei Igonen was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Ludvig Fritzson stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ludvig Fritzson and Degerfors agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match

Degerfors come up short against IFK Goteborg

IFK Goteborg left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Transfer targets

Preußen Münster tell Degerfors: Oscar Vilhelmsson is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Bilal Hussein

“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

Degerfors promote Mikael Isak from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mikael Isak 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.
