Bälinge and Malmö players trading places
Bälinge's strong left back Nera Smajic seems to be tempted by a move to Malmö FF. The 22 year old, that was a certain starter with Bälinge the entire 2006 season and has experience from Sweden youth teams of all age groups, was on Malmö's wishlist already a year ago. On the other hand Malmö's forward Linda Blom is likely to return to her old club. She joined Malmö when Bälinge relegated 2004, but hasn't managed to get a starting spot in the team.
Uppsala Nya Tidning: Blom in - Smajic ut?
And some ice-hockey news:
Defender Jesper Jäger in Denmark's top division club Aalborg has decided to leave the club and return to his native Umeå.
This is interesting, since Jesper is Malin Moström's long-time boyfriend. Malin has spent time with him in Denmark lately, instead of going to Egypt on a sponsor event with Umeå IK. There was even some speculation in if Malin might chose to move to Denmark (Fortuna Hjørring would in that case have been the lucky club). Luckily for us in Sweden, Jesper made up his mind. Now we're just waiting for Malin to decide if she is going to continue playing or not.

Persuading Marta: Linköping throws in a bid
Linköpings FC has presented an offer for Marta's signature to her agent. The club's general manager Anders Mäki confirms that it is the by far biggest the club has ever presented, but refuses to comment on any figures. He won't even tell if the bid is above or below the SEK 50,000 a month, that according to a persistent but unconfirmed rumour is what Marta makes today.
Corren: LFC har lämnat drömbud till Marta
Therese Lückner from Norwegian Team Strømmen has agreed to return to Karlstad and play for Qbik, partly persuaded by the fact that her Team Strømmen coach Janne Jansson also is joining Qbik.
Qbik has also managed to sign young left-winger Elinor Rangvaldsson from 1st division side Holmalund, beating competition from Kopparbergs/Göteborg and Falköpings KIK.
Therese Stolpe, sought-after by both Qbik and Kif Örebro, has decided to stay with relegated Mallbacken after first announcing she would quit playing. "It was so fun getting back training with the girls again. And we'll hopefully win more matches in the 1st division."

Mäkinen to Bälinge, Julin to AIK
Bälinge presented their latest signing at a press conference today: Umeå's and Finland's highly rated midfielder Anne Mäkinen. Mäkinen explains that she moves to the Stockholm area to be able to get the education she wants and that she decided for Bälinge because of the challenge. "I want to be part of a team that commits to the future. I've heard a lot of good things from my Finnish teammates [Finland players Minna Mustonen and Heidi Matinlassi]".
Bälinge's chairman Conny Sjöberg called Mäkinen's signing "probably the biggest event in the history of the club" and was "extremely proud and happy" that she chose Bälinge.

Umeå presents Marta "final offer"
"We have mailed our last offer to Marta today", says Umeå's manager Roland Arnqvist. "We can't go any higher than this", he adds. He says he had a long talk with Martas agent and feels optimistic about the result. "We both agree that this has dragged on far too long".
Arnqvist also comments on Umeå's recent talks with Kolbotn's midfielder Ingvild Stensland and says that he's got the feeling that she will choose Göteborg over Umeå. "If you let other reasons than football decide your choice of club, we're not as interested any longer", Arnqvist comments.

Linköping trying to overbid Umeå for World Player top three nominated Marta
FIFA today annonuced that Marta is one of the three remaining nominees for the FIFA Women's World Player award (the others are USA's Kristin Lilly and Germany's and FFC Frankfurt's Renate Lingor). Not much of a surprise, really.
Aftonbladet: Nu kan Marta få revansch
A little bit more of a surprise is that Linköping FC executive Anders Mäki thinks that he can outbid Umeå for Marta's services. He tells tabloid Expressen, that he can pay SEK 10,000 to 20,000 more than Marta earns today (allegedly SEK50,000 a month). He is trying to get in touch with Marta's agent Fabiano Farah to find out exactly how much it would take to lure Marta away.
Expressen: Linköping erbjuder Marta drömlön
And from a completely different place in women's football, Kopparbergs/Göteborg announces that they have signed Mallbacken's 19 year old back-up keeper Sandra Bjurteg as back-up for their own Maria Edman.

Linda Forsberg joins Djurgården
Linda Forsberg, a Hammarby all-round player with about 30 Sweden youth team matches, has decided to accept an offer from Djurgården/Älvsjö. The 21 year old, who mostly has been playing as a midfielder, is praised by Djurgården's sport director Micke Söderman as "one of Stockholm's most interesting players".

Norway's Rønning turns down Linköping
Norway and Kolbotn midfielder Trine Rønning has decided to turn down the contract offer she recieved from Linköping FC. "Linköping looked good", she says, "but this is a championship season and I don't want to change clubs and maybe put my national team place at risk." But she keeps the door open: "I've told Linköping that, if then still want to, we can get in touch a year from now."
For Linköping this means that they still haven't found the new big name they are looking for. Umeå's Elaine might be a possibility. Marta, whom Umeå might have to let go, is not a realistic option, says sports director Bengt Ekholm.
Therese Lückner considers Qbik deal
Defender Therese Lückner, who has had her 2006 season with Norwegian outfit Team Strømmen destroyed by injuries, is considering a proposal from Qbik. She says that it would feel good to accomplish something with the Norwegian top side before leaving, but Qbik's Karlstad is home and it's tempting to return.
Qbik's U21 midfielder Rebecca Jonsson has drawn attention to herself from clubs like Djurgården, Malmö and Kif Örebro. She is flattered by the interest and says that she of course wants to play at as high a level as possible. She has however one year left on the contract with Qbik, which could complicate a transfer.

Umeå: Söberg signs, Marta negotiates
Mallbacken's goalkeeper Carola Söberg has signed a 1 year deal with Umeå IK and will move to Umeå directly after the holidays.
Umeå IK: Carola Söberg klar för UIK!
The contract negotiations between Umeå and Marta drags on. "Right now, we're pretty far from an agreement", says Umeå manager Roland Arnqvist and puts the blame on Marta's agent Fabiano Farah. Farah, who also manages the business for players like Real Madrid's Ronaldo, has according to Arnqvist no understanding of women's football. "No women's club in the world can pay the kind of money he demands".
Let's just take this as a part of the negotiations. Farah understandably wants to pressure Umeå as far as possible, but I think he's aware that he cannot find another club with Umeå's resources. Marta's current salary is supposed to be around SEK 50,000 a month.
Västerbottenskuriren: Umeå IK har inte råd med Marta
Djurgården defender to AIK
Djurgården/Älvsjö's experienced fullback Linda Lekander has signed with newcomers AIK. Lekander hasn't had much playing-time with her club lately due to an injury-ridden season, but would probably still have been the third choice behind Kristin Bengtsson and Sara Thunebro.

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".
Värmlands Folkblad: Nigeriansk agent bad Qbik om ursäkt - erbjöd landskamp
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.

Elaine returns?
When Umeå's Elaine left Sweden to join Brazil's national team in the South American championships, it looked like she wouldn't return. But now Linköping FC has expressed their interest in the tenacious midfielder and Umeå's Roland Arnqvist comments that even if she didn't have the best of seasons this year, she is a great football player and he doesn't exclude the possibility that the brasilian will be offered a new contract.
With Anne Mäkinen already out of the picture, Malin Moström unsure on her future plans and Ingvild Stensland maybe opting for Göteborg instead of Umeå, Elaine should be more interesting for Umeå than she was a month ago.

Stensland visiting Göteborg
Kolbotn's and Norway's sought-after defender/midfielder Ingvild Stensland visited Göteborg to look at the facilities and to talk with Kopparbergs/Göteborg's management. Stensland comments that she is pleased with what she's seen and heard during her visit and definitely has something to think about.
Kopparbergs/Göteborg cannot offer her a salary even close to the deal Umeå IK is proposing, but Stensland says: "I'm not playing football for the money. I want to play centre midfield and after talking to Martin [Pringle, Göteborg's head coach], it feel really good and I think I can develop here."
Göteborg is also much closer to her home in Oslo than Umeå and since Stensland really doesn't like flying, that is an important factor.
Stensland is under contract with Kolbotn, but Göteborg's chairman Peter Bronsman doesn't think that will be a problem. "We have released several players to Kolbotn without compensation earlier."
Göteborgsposten: Stensland nära Göteborg
Kopparbergs/Göteborg's forward Sara Lindén has renewed her contract with the club.

Umeå's back-up goalkeeper Johanna Baecklund has decided to leave the club after two years on the bench. She has offers from both Damallsvenskan and 1st division clubs, but states that she will move to a club where she can expect to be the first choice.

That Matilda Agné, who just signed with Hammarby, has a famous father was something I had decided to ignore. But so did not the tabloids. Aftonbladet has put up a video on Matilda, focusing on the fact that the daughter of a Hammarby player legend (Kenta Ohlsson, 333 matches for the club) has signed for her father's club. Matilda comments that there are similarities - the position they play in and the way they move - but that the expectations on her probably would have been bigger if she had been a guy.
Mr Ohlsson himself is of course proud or as he put it "This is a big thing for me".

Umeå has agreed on renewals of the contracts for veteran full back Maria Bergkvist, seldom fielded defender talent Emma Berglund and André Jeglertz, Coach of the Year. This will be Jeglertz' fourth season and he comments that it can be good with a bit of continuity in the staff when there is movement with the players.

Hammarby announces the signing of 21 year old midfielder Andrea Comaneci from 1st division side Eskilstuna United. Comaneci was the main star in a team that finished 4th in their league and is considered fast and physical in her play.
Hammarby has also picked up the young midfield talent Matilda Agné from Stockholm southern suburb club Enskede. Agné has 9 appearences for Sweden's youth teams the 2006 season. She will probably go very good together with Hammarby's Lollo Fors and Emma Lundh, whom she's played with on Sweden's U18.

On the other hand Bälinge has announced the signings of Petra Vaelma and Katri Nokso-Koivisto, both from Finnish cup-winners FC United, Mustonen's old Finnish club. Both the defensive player Vaelma and winger Nokso-Koivisto have extensive international experience with 60 and 20 matches respectively for Finland. In spite of that the players are only 24 years old, Bälinge sees them as coming with important experience to add to their young squad.

Marta has decided to stay in Umeå and will within a few days sign a new contract with the club. This according to tabloid Expressen, that is quoting an unnamed source. Umeå is home to Marta, says the source, and there is no reason changing clubs a season, when she should be focusing on preparing for the World Cup. The new contract is supposed to give her SEK 50,000 a month plus benefits.

He says Falköping is in for a tough season in Damallsvenskan, but that both he and the club is up to the challenge.
