Market

Only the photograph left for Hugo Aviander

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Hugo Aviander will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around GIF Sundsvall the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings

Hugo Aviander, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.86

A mark of 7.86 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match

4 matches without a win for GIF Sundsvall

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around GIF Sundsvall are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom

GIF Sundsvall to lose Marc Manchón for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Marc Manchón has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Transfer targets

Viking tell GIF Sundsvall: Simen Kvia-Egeskog 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Jonas Olsson

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Taiki Kagayama

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

GIF Sundsvall share the spoils with Atvidaberg

A 2‑2 draw with Atvidaberg leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout

Jonas Olsson gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jonas Olsson is on it.

Match

The cup run ends for GIF Sundsvall

0‑1 against Hammarby, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Transfer targets

$5.3M settles it between the clubs for Samuel Kalu

Botev Plovdiv have accepted the money. What GIF Sundsvall do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Market

GIF Sundsvall turn down Halmstad for Hugo Aviander

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

Player ratings

Both of them Martin Samuelsen's — 8.57

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.57, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Jonas Olsson

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Boardroom

GIF Sundsvall close the window on a squad of their own making

14 in and 1 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on José Martínes

GIF Sundsvall asked and CSKA 1948 said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Edvard Carrick is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at GIF Sundsvall is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The dugout

No hiding place for Marc Manchón

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

Match

No mercy from GIF Sundsvall

Gefle will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. GIF Sundsvall were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings

A brace, and Suwaibou Kebbeh takes the afternoon — 9.59

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Suwaibou Kebbeh provided it, and the 9.59 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

GIF Sundsvall turn down Djurgarden for Taiki Kagayama

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

Transfer targets

GIF Sundsvall make their move for Samuel Kalu

$3.4M on the table at Botev Plovdiv. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market

Only the photograph left for Anton Mossnelid

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Anton Mossnelid will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around GIF Sundsvall the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Transfer targets

Kenan Busuladžić due for a GIF Sundsvall 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.

Boardroom

Samuel Tammivuori signs for Falkenberg while still at GIF Sundsvall

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Samuel Tammivuori has agreed terms with Falkenberg for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Player ratings

Taiki Kagayama was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Jonas Olsson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jonas Olsson commits to GIF Sundsvall for another 2 years.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

Nowhere to hide for GIF Sundsvall

0‑3 against Hammarby, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market

Taiki Kagayama asks to leave GIF Sundsvall

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Only the photograph left for Samuel Tammivuori

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Samuel Tammivuori will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around GIF Sundsvall the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Taiki Kagayama wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and GIF Sundsvall know it.

Squad

Malte Hallin signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Malte Hallin and GIF Sundsvall agree another 5 years.

Boardroom

GIF Sundsvall agree a free transfer for Linus Borgström

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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Jens Aslaksrud

GIF Sundsvall asked and Esbjerg 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

The manager makes an example of Jonas Olsson

“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.

Boardroom

Nobody left the GIF Sundsvall dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
