KuPS go back to the board over Otto Kemppainen
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $270.0K — a club that wants Otto Kemppainen enough to be asked twice.

KuPS pay Kalmar FF $350.0K for a proper upgrade
Kalmar FF did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $350.0K for Anthony Olusanya, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

The town asked, and KuPS paid $350.0K
Anthony Olusanya was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $350.0K. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

A row about effort at KuPS
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Saikou Touray was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
