Market4 Aug 2036

Yair Murillo agrees terms with Viking

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around KFUM Oslo people have started saying his name in the past tense.

The dugout4 Aug 2036

Christopher Argueta: 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.” KFUM Oslo have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market4 Aug 2036

Lars Meling hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what KFUM Oslo can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets4 Aug 2036

KFUM Oslo baulk at the price for Jens Ryerson

Bodo/Glimt wanted more than $29.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad4 Aug 2036

A row about effort at KFUM Oslo

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Marius Cassidy was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets4 Aug 2036

Brann tell KFUM Oslo: Sofus Johannesen is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match2 Aug 2036

KFUM Oslo come up short against Åsane

Åsane left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad4 Aug 2036

Albin Berisha 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 KFUM Oslo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market4 Aug 2036

KFUM Oslo and Moulaye Haïdara are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Match7 May 2036

Francesco Ferrara sends KFUM Oslo through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Francesco Ferrara obliged against IK Start. 3‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is KFUM Oslo.

Player ratings12 May 2036

A debut Lars Meling will not forget — 7.73

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.73 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Player ratings12 May 2036

A brace, and Francesco Ferrara takes the afternoon — 8.49

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Francesco Ferrara provided it, and the 8.49 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

The dugout12 May 2036

Vuk Vlahović keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” KFUM Oslo may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad12 May 2036

Words at KFUM Oslo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marius Cassidy is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Boardroom12 May 2036

KFUM Oslo agree a free transfer for Mathias Jensen

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

The terraces12 May 2036

KFUM Oslo supporters have found a favourite in Lars Meling

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Lars Meling has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match10 May 2036

Rosenborg take the points off KFUM Oslo

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad12 May 2036

Tempers go at KFUM Oslo

Albin Berisha 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.
