Marked for Thomas Henriksen

Market

Molde turn down Lillestrom for Sondre Granaas

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Claus Niyukuri: 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.” Molde have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

The Viking deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Sander Pedersen reports back to Molde with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Tempers go at Molde

Birk Risa 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.

Player ratings

Oskar Spiten-Nysæter in the eights

A performance of 9.10 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Oskar Spiten-Nysæter is carrying Molde

7 goals and a season average of 7.41. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad

Peder Hoel Lervik gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Matías Batule rescues a point for Molde

It needed Matías Batule to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Sarpsborg 08, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Market

IK Start expected to open talks for Thomas Henriksen

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Molde will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Isak Helstad Amundsen

Defensive actions: 30. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Sondre Granaas

Defensive actions: 29. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

Birk Risa 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 Molde this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Fredrik Gulbrandsen

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

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Jacob Christensen

Defensive actions: 20. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

Thomas Henriksen signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Thomas Henriksen and Molde agree another 4 years.

Player ratings

Camil Mmaee runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Mats Møller Dæhli asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

The Emil Breivik talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Molde know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
