Damallsvenskan Newsblog - Qbik talks with Nigeria and turns down Söberg

Victor Macdonald, an agent representing the Nigerian Football Association, has met with Qbik's management. He forwarded the apologies from the Nigerian FA and wanted to find a solution that will make it possible for the three Nigerian players Maureen Mmadu, Faith Ikidi and Yinka Kudaisi to continue playing with the club the 2007 season. Nigeria offers to pay the player's wages for three months and have the national team play a friendly with Qbik. Qbik's chairman Lars-Inge Hallstensson says there will be no deal: "We have left this behind us".

Meanwhile, Qbik is pretty active on the transfer market and seems set to replace the Nigerians with domestic players. Kopparbergs/Göteborg's winger Sofie Andersson and Jitex defender Amelie Rybeck, both Sweden U21 players, are in talks with the club. Both players are picked by the new coach Janne Jansson.
Qbik has also finished their talks with Mallbacken goalkeeper Carola Söberg and will instead sign a new contract with Maria Yatrakis. "The difference between Söberg's demands and Yatrakis' was big. We couldn't afford Söberg at all." Which pretty much points Söberg to Umeå, I would think.
Qbik has already signed the experienced defender Kathleen Fernström and the 17 year old midfield talent Julia Spetsmark from Mallbacken.
