Market

Espen Garnås puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Lyn, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Simen Brudvik says Lyn went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Boardroom

Lyn tie Stian Berge down

A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Lyn

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Christ Batola

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

The dugout

Villads Nielsen back under a manager who knows him

The new man at Lyn has worked with Villads Nielsen before and it went well. He arrives with a view of the player already formed, which is worth more than any pre-season.

Squad

Words exchanged at Lyn

Julius Skaug and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Niklas Fuglestad

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market

Mathias Meling steps up from the Lyn academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mathias Meling 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
