Match

FC Nordsjaelland are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 41 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Market

Viking come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Mark Brink 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

Words exchanged at FC Nordsjaelland

Ibrahim Adel 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Villum Berthelsen

“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.

The dugout

Ibrahim Adel is still paying for one afternoon at FC Nordsjaelland

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout

Andreas Hansen 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 Andreas Hansen is on it.

Loan watch

The goals keep arriving from Alexander Lind’s exile

7 goals in 15 games at FC Nordsjaelland — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at FC Nordsjaelland updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The dugout

Tobias Salquist 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 FC Nordsjaelland, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

Runar Norheim: 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.” FC Nordsjaelland have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Words at FC Nordsjaelland training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mark Brink 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

A falling-out at FC Nordsjaelland

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

Transfer targets

Bodo/Glimt tell FC Nordsjaelland: Joel Mvuka 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

Andreas Gülstorff out for 21 days

The medical room confirms 21 days on the sidelines for Andreas Gülstorff, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market

Tromso are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. FC Nordsjaelland will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Market

The Mark Brink talk will not go away

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

The dugout

Souleymane Alio 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 Souleymane Alio is on it.

The dugout

Tobias Salquist 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 Tobias Salquist has written the date down.

Market

Fehervar come back empty-handed

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

Market

Lucas Lissens 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 FC Nordsjaelland can pretend not to have heard.

Market

FC Nordsjaelland sell Lévy Néne for $3.3M

Lévy Néne has left for FC Copenhagen in a $3.3M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Boardroom

FC Nordsjaelland close the window on a squad of their own making

0 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.

Market

So close: Carljohan Eriksson’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. FC Midtjylland moved on, Carljohan Eriksson reports back to FC Nordsjaelland, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Squad

Words exchanged at FC Nordsjaelland

Juho Lähteenmäki 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Cyril Edudzi

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

Words at FC Nordsjaelland training over how hard people work

André Rømer 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.

Market

Souleymane Alio says no to Gillingham

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Souleymane Alio had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Door shut on Rasmus Lauritsen

FC Nordsjaelland asked and Brondby 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

Late improvement for Andreas Gülstorff

At 24 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Market

FC Copenhagen are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. FC Nordsjaelland will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Transfer targets

FC Nordsjaelland try to borrow Cyril Edudzi

Randers have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout

Nicklas Røjkjær 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 Nicklas Røjkjær is on it.

Match

FC Nordsjaelland up to position 2

41 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Market

FC Nordsjaelland turn down FC Copenhagen for Villum Berthelsen

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

Squad

A row about effort at FC Nordsjaelland

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

Squad

Words exchanged at FC Nordsjaelland

Ibrahim Adel 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.

Transfer targets

FC Nordsjaelland rebuffed over Viktor Bjarki Daðason

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

Transfer targets

A loan move for Rasmus Lauritsen is in the works

FC Nordsjaelland have made the call to Brondby. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Ibrahim Adel's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The dugout

Andreas Hansen has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at FC Nordsjaelland will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Loan watch

7 goals on loan for Alexander Lind

15 appearances at FC Nordsjaelland and the goals keep coming. FC Nordsjaelland are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad

Tempers go at FC Nordsjaelland

Ibrahim Adel 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

CSKA Moscow tell FC Nordsjaelland: Alerrandro 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

FC Nordsjaelland lose Andreas Gülstorff

52 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market

Souleymane Alio attracts admirers

The name of Souleymane Alio has come up in conversations FC Nordsjaelland were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Tobias Salquist 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.

“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.

The dugout

When it matters, Souleymane Alio plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

Andreas Gülstorff wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and FC Nordsjaelland will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Market

The Ibrahim Adel talk will not go away

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

Real improvement from Andreas Gülstorff at FC Nordsjaelland

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Andreas Gülstorff is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Mark Brink 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.

Ibrahim Adel 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 FC Nordsjaelland this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Isaque is the month’s best young player

At 19 he was better than everybody his age in the division for four weeks running, which is harder than one good afternoon. FC Nordsjaelland will try not to make too much of it.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Alerrandro is in the works

FC Nordsjaelland have made the call to CSKA Moscow. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Carljohan Eriksson is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at FC Nordsjaelland has been clear about where Carljohan Eriksson stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market

Haji Wright linked with a move away

The name of Haji Wright keeps appearing in other people's back pages. FC Nordsjaelland say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

The manager makes André Rømer a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at FC Nordsjaelland. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Squad

Marcel Mehlem still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at FC Nordsjaelland would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Market

Marcel Mehlem placed on the list

FC Nordsjaelland have made Marcel Mehlem available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad

A wage question at FC Nordsjaelland

Carljohan Eriksson has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Chinedu Ekene and FC Nordsjaelland agree another 4 years.

Squad

5 new faces, and FC Nordsjaelland are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Match

FC Nordsjaelland come from 2 down to beat Brondby

At 2 goals adrift this was a formality, and the formality lasted right up until it did not. FC Nordsjaelland found something the first half had given no notice of, and Brondby could not hold what they had.

Squad

A day Alexander Lind will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings

Isaque, 19, steals the show — 8.38

Marked 8.38 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Match

Nobody wants to play FC Nordsjaelland right now

5 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings

Prince Amoako runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Alexander Lind the difference as FC Nordsjaelland beat Brondby

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Alexander Lind. 4‑3 against Brondby, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Alexander Lind at his very best

Marked 9.60. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at FC Nordsjaelland.

Squad

Mark Brink 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.

Match

Nobody wins at FC Nordsjaelland

9 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Lucas Lissens asks to leave FC Nordsjaelland

“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.

FC Nordsjaelland make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now FC Nordsjaelland have 4 straight wins of it.

Market

Haji Wright raises the bar for FC Nordsjaelland

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at FC Nordsjaelland heard it as anything else.

Player ratings

Prince Amoako beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match

FC Nordsjaelland keep winning on the road

4 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Squad

Haji Wright takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match

FC Nordsjaelland cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Haji Wright

15 goals and a season average of 7.30 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Haji Wright at his very best

Marked 9.56. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at FC Nordsjaelland.

Match

Haji Wright the difference as FC Nordsjaelland beat OB

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Haji Wright. 3‑1 against OB, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Words exchanged at FC Nordsjaelland

Nicklas Røjkjær 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.

Match

FC Nordsjaelland make home a hard place to visit

8 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Squad

Words at FC Nordsjaelland training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tobias Salquist 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.

Looking ahead

The big one: FC Copenhagen come into view

Two sides from the top of the table, one afternoon, and a month of talk decided in ninety minutes. FC Nordsjaelland will not use the word title this week and will not stop thinking it.

Match

FC Nordsjaelland through in the cup

A 3‑0 win over AGF, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

Still nobody has beaten FC Nordsjaelland

The unbeaten run reaches 12. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad

Andreas Hansen stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match

FC Nordsjaelland are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 32 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Player ratings

Souleymane Alio, 20, steals the show — 8.08

Marked 8.08 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

A falling-out at FC Nordsjaelland

The terraces

One of their own: Souleymane Alio

He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Another one collected away from home

3 on the bounce on the road for FC Nordsjaelland. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Match

Whatever happens, FC Nordsjaelland do not lose

10 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.

Player ratings

Isaque, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.83

A mark of 7.83 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match

After 6 games, FC Nordsjaelland finally taste it again

The first defeat in 6 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Randers; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

The dugout

Tobias Salquist 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

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 85 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon FC Nordsjaelland had all but put away. Randers will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Squad

International break empties FC Nordsjaelland

4 call-ups is a compliment to the squad and a headache for the man running it. He will get them back in a fortnight, tired, in various states of repair.

A performance of 9.71 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

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

Player ratings

A brace, and Alexander Lind takes the afternoon — 8.95

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Alexander Lind provided it, and the 8.95 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Juho Lähteenmäki, 20, steals the show — 8.06

Marked 8.06 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Match

FC Nordsjaelland cannot stop winning

5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

The dugout

Souleymane Alio says FC Nordsjaelland went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

A row about effort at FC Nordsjaelland

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

Match

Alexander Lind sends FC Nordsjaelland past Esbjerg

It finished 2‑1, and it was Alexander Lind’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to FC Nordsjaelland.

The terraces

FC Nordsjaelland supporters have found a favourite in Juho Lähteenmäki

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Juho Lähteenmäki 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.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Carljohan Eriksson

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

Match

FC Nordsjaelland tear FC Midtjylland apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against FC Midtjylland, and it could have been more.

Squad

Haji Wright takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match

FC Nordsjaelland refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 22 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Match

Nobody wants to play FC Nordsjaelland right now

4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Market

FC Nordsjaelland may not be able to give Haji Wright what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Haji Wright wants continental football; whether FC Nordsjaelland can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Player ratings

One of those days for Haji Wright

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.53, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Words at FC Nordsjaelland training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mark Brink 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

Peter Ankersen 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 FC Nordsjaelland this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Roni Aliji damages knee ligaments — 18 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 18 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.

Justin Janssen beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 26. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

FC Nordsjaelland find a way past Viborg

Viborg made FC Nordsjaelland work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

A row about effort at FC Nordsjaelland

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

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Alexander Lind

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

Squad

FC Nordsjaelland are still strangers to each other

11 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

Erik Dalsgaard: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

Squad

The knee: Roni Aliji out for 27 days

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

Player ratings

Both of them Lévy Néne's — 8.98

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.98, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Andreas Hansen stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings

Justin Janssen, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.96

A mark of 7.96 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Haji Wright wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at FC Nordsjaelland can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad

Andreas Gülstorff is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 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.

Match

Lévy Néne among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Lévy Néne on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of FC Nordsjaelland and Hobro.

Match

FC Nordsjaelland get the job done against Hobro

A 4‑2 win over Hobro, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Lévy Néne

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

6 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and AGF were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Three points for FC Nordsjaelland, 3‑1 the final word against AGF in a contest settled by the finer margins.

A promise honoured for Mark Brink

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. FC Nordsjaelland told Mark Brink something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Prince Amoako has said yes to FC Copenhagen

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. FC Nordsjaelland have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Boardroom
