KuPS turn down AC Oulu for Joslyn Luyeye-Lutumba
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

KuPS close the window on a squad of their own making
15 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Daníel Guðjohnsen due for a KuPS medical
Everything agreed with Malmo FF, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

KuPS agree a free transfer for Will Wilson
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 manager makes an example of Emmanuel Ntim
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Arttu Lötjönen attracts admirers
The name of Arttu Lötjönen has come up in conversations KuPS were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
In brief

- Squad This league is too small for Emmanuel Ntim
- Squad 14 new faces, and KuPS are still learning each other
