SalPa taken apart
0‑4 to Ekenäs IF, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Lawrence Ouma due for a SalPa medical
Everything agreed with SJK, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Johan Guadagno stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Johan Guadagno and SalPa agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Johan Guadagno 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 SalPa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

SalPa beat the market to Taavi Arminen from JäPS
JäPS will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Taavi Arminen has pre-agreed a move to SalPa, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

SalPa promote Ilkka Jensen from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ilkka Jensen 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.

One of our own: Eero Toivio joins the SalPa first team

Aleksi Hoskonen steps up from the SalPa academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Aleksi Hoskonen has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

SalPa promote Amos Hradecky from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Amos Hradecky 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.
