Both of them Paulos Abraham's — 9.28
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.28, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Not going: Dejan Quaison stays at Hammarby
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Gefle had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

IFK Goteborg come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Hammarby did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Haniël Pereira da Gama asks to leave Hammarby
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Defences have started doubling up on Paulos Abraham
13 goals and a season average of 7.34 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Markus Karlsson was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

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

Frank Junior Adjei falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
