Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Simon Strand

64 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Brommapojkarna lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Transfer targets

John Mercado is a medical away from Brommapojkarna

The deal with Sparta Prague is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Market

Brommapojkarna get their man

The chase for Daniel Strindholm ended with $550.0K changing hands and Varbergs BoIS out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

Words exchanged at Brommapojkarna

Mads Hansen and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Real improvement from Sourou Koné at Brommapojkarna

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Sourou Koné is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

The terraces

The town asked, and Brommapojkarna paid $550.0K

Daniel Strindholm was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $550.0K. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Market

Eyes on David Isso again

The phone has started ringing about David Isso again, and this time the name on the line is Trelleborg. Brommapojkarna are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Words at Brommapojkarna training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oliver Zandén 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Magnus Kofod Andersen

Brommapojkarna asked and Sparta Prague said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

The knee: Simon Strand out for 71 days

71 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Brommapojkarna lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets

Brommapojkarna agree $550.0K for Daniel Strindholm

The clubs have shaken hands with Varbergs BoIS; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Squad

Oliver Berg stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Oliver Berg and Brommapojkarna agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Brommapojkarna

Mads Hansen 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.

Transfer targets

FC Nordsjaelland tell Brommapojkarna: Mark Brink 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.

Squad

Brommapojkarna are still strangers to each other

9 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Transfer targets

Brommapojkarna ask about Alie Conteh

A loan enquiry to Bodo/Glimt: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Market

Oliver Zandén linked with a move away

The name of Oliver Zandén keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Brommapojkarna say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Elton Hedström knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Brommapojkarna, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Simon Strand damages knee ligaments — 79 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 79 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Marko Divković rejects the move

Brommapojkarna had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Brondby, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Mads Hansen 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 Brommapojkarna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Real improvement from Valdemar Lykke at Brommapojkarna

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Valdemar Lykke is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

A row about effort at Brommapojkarna

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

Transfer targets

Brann tell Brommapojkarna: Sakarias Opsahl 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 formation has left Leonardo Farah Shahin behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Brommapojkarna will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The dugout

Sindre Mauritz-Hansen has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Sindre Mauritz-Hansen has written the date down.

The dugout

Adam Stroud knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Adam Stroud trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Simon Strand

93 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Brommapojkarna lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Utsikten come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Brommapojkarna did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Boardroom

Brommapojkarna go back to the board over Malte Frejd Pålsson

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $855.0K — a club that wants Malte Frejd Pålsson enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Leonardo Farah Shahin

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Brommapojkarna have done the hard part with Oddevold, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad

Oliver Berg 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 Brommapojkarna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Brommapojkarna bid $650.0K for Malte Frejd Pålsson

The offer went to Malmo FF this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Mads Hansen 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.

Transfer targets

Brommapojkarna rebuffed over Mikael Anderson

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. AGF have kept their man, and Brommapojkarna go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Brommapojkarna

7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Magnus Bech Riisnæs is in the works

Brommapojkarna have made the call to Bodo/Glimt. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market

A long bet from Brommapojkarna on Valdemar Lykke

He is 19, and nobody at Brommapojkarna signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad

Mads Hansen falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

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

The dugout

Davor Blažević 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

Late, late show earns Brommapojkarna a point

Minute 88, against IF Elfsborg, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

Market

Brommapojkarna and Rasmus Örqvist 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.

Squad

William Rygaard signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” William Rygaard and Brommapojkarna agree another 3 years.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Rasmus Örqvist

7.63, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Brommapojkarna had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Player ratings

Frederik Christensen runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Frederik Christensen beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 35. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

Rasmus Örqvist is on his way

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

Squad

William Rygaard gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. William Rygaard has just signed for Brommapojkarna, and for once the answer mattered.

Match

Whatever happens, Brommapojkarna do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Words at Brommapojkarna training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mads Hansen 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sindre Mauritz-Hansen

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

Market

Brommapojkarna buy the years ahead of William Rygaard

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad

William Rygaard stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” William Rygaard and Brommapojkarna agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

James Bogere 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 James Bogere is on it.

Market

Only the photograph left for Frederik Christensen

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Frederik Christensen will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Brommapojkarna the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Frederik Christensen

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Brommapojkarna

Mads Hansen 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.

Squad

Words at Brommapojkarna training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rasmus Örqvist 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.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Brommapojkarna

10 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Oliver Zandén knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Brommapojkarna, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Daniel Krafth was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Brommapojkarna dressing room was either.

Squad

“I want to play”: Leo Cavallius speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Match

Brommapojkarna draw a blank against Mjällby

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Mjällby defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Squad

The step up is real for Kaare Barslund

At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Leo Cavallius stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Leo Cavallius and Brommapojkarna agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Mads Hansen falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Abdihakin Ali 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 Brommapojkarna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Leo Cavallius 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.

The dugout

Brommapojkarna keep their word to James Bogere

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The dugout

Oliver Zandén knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Oliver Zandén trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

The Oliver Zandén talk will not go away

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

Market

Still no signature from Frederik Christensen

3 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Brommapojkarna could get for him.

Nobody could get near Mads Hansen

Successful dribbles: 37. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

James Bogere is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Tempers go at Brommapojkarna

Oliver Berg 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.

Match

Brommapojkarna rescue it on 91 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 91. GAIS had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Squad

Issiaga Camara makes the team of the month

Four or five weekends of consistency, measured against everybody else in the division. A quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Match

Brommapojkarna and GAIS take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout

Daniel Krafth on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Daniel Krafth after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Rasmus Örqvist is on his way

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

Match

At last: Brommapojkarna win one

9 matches without a win, and then this, against IK Sirius. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Boardroom

Brommapojkarna to lose Frederik Christensen for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Frederik Christensen 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Brommapojkarna

Mads Hansen and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Frederik Christensen

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 20 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Match

Rasmus Örqvist the difference as Brommapojkarna beat IK Sirius

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Rasmus Örqvist. 1‑0 against IK Sirius, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Rasmus Örqvist falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom

Brommapojkarna beat the market to Mohamed Bawa from GAIS

GAIS will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Mohamed Bawa has pre-agreed a move to Brommapojkarna, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Squad

A falling-out at Brommapojkarna

Issiaga Camara and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings

Gustav Friberg takes the honours

Marked 7.29 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Brommapojkarna had the best player on the pitch.

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Brommapojkarna are no longer polite ones.

Match

Brommapojkarna cannot find the net

5 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

A row about effort at Brommapojkarna

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

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Ludwig Claesson steps up from the Brommapojkarna academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ludwig Claesson has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

Brommapojkarna are still strangers to each other

10 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Daniel Krafth chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

The dugout

No hiding place for Leo Cavallius

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

The dugout

Adam Stroud dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Adam Stroud is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Squad

Brommapojkarna take the armband off Oliver Berg

It will be explained as a change for the team and it may even be one. Nobody who has worn one believes that, and neither does the man who has just had it taken away.

Market

Talks stall between Brommapojkarna and Rasmus Örqvist

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Oliver Berg

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Djurgarden in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Market

The Mads Hansen story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Mads Hansen signs something — a contract at Brommapojkarna or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
