Transfer targets

Örgryte bid $1.6M for Axel Kouamé

The offer went to AIK this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Joakim Persson

Örgryte asked and IK Sirius said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Kristian Lonebu

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Örgryte have done the hard part with Molde, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Rasmus Alm signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Rasmus Alm commits to Örgryte for another 3 years.

Squad

Mikael Dyrestam 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 Örgryte this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

No hiding place for Mikael Dyrestam

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mikael Dyrestam, and the manager let it.

One of our own: Daniel Granqvist joins the Örgryte first team

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

Örgryte promote Mikael Granqvist from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mikael Granqvist 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.

Simon Krafth steps up from the Örgryte academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Simon Krafth 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.

In brief
