Great work E_S.

[kimera]

The norwegian teams have done it again. With many new faces from African and south american leagues it is difficult to predict anything before we actually see them in action. Rosenborg, Start, Fredrikstad and Lillestrøm have all been active in those markets.

It is definetely worth mentioning that Lillestrøm have lost their two best players in the break, Robert Koren and Michael Mifsud. Start are without Kristoffer Hæstad and Marius Johnsen, both very important players last season. Otherwise it is difficult to predict anything at this moment. Rosenborg, who won last years campaign have kept most of their regulars and will be dangerous. Brann, the runner-up, will be without both scotsmen Miller and Winters, eccentric as they are they still made an impact last season.

In short conclusion I can say that that all the teams who struggled somewhat last season have been active in signing new players and will make an even tighter Tippeliga the season to come.

Some key signings:
Tromsø has high expectations to new player Douglas Sequeiro. He is a midfielder who is bought to fill the gap they had in this position last season.

Simen Brenne had one of his best seasons with Fredrikstad last year, now he is supposed to fill the role of Robert Koren. Naturally he is a big loss for Fredrikstad. Karim Essediri came from Rosenborg and will fit nicely in the systems of coach Tom Nordlie. Both will be key players for Lillestrøm this year.

Viking have signed experienced Thomas Myhre from Charlton. He will join the club in july, and will be a major fact for them when time comes.

There is aslo high expectations to new-signed brazilian Ygor in Start. He being a talented player who actually has some national team matches in his career. Te question is more how he will cope with the often harsh weather conditions up north.

Keeper Espen Johnsen has come back from the dead after being left out in Rosenborg. Now in Stømsgodset he will try to revive his career and be a key player. He has many national matches and when he is at his best he really can make an impact in any squad he plays in

Otherwise I see a lot of clubs getting rid of players who hasn`t made the level they were supposed to when bought. Many teams have focused on building on the regular squads and being happy with it. Vålerenga, Odd Grenland and Sandefjord are the best examples.

As I mentioned before we are looking at a tight and hard fought league where form and injuries will be a major factor in the upcoming season...

[Jonne]

Nice one! Stickied it!

[kimera]

At the same time Start signed Ygor, they also signed another player from Brazil. Bruno, a 20-year old talented striker, which the club says will be a great player for them. Well, he is unknown too many punters, but they compare him with Bengt Sæternes (Brann) who is a strong striker with a lot of finshing skills.

Don`t know him much though. Erik Soler, the manager in the club said yesterday that their squad is now complete and all the outgoing players are replaced. Soler is known as a manager who talk a lot, but this time he might have been correct.

Chinedu Ogbuke (Edu) was ment to leave Lyn in the winter break. At first Lokomotiv Moscow were suppose to get him, but when they fired the whole board which ment all the guys who wanted to sign him, the deal naturally went wrong!?! After that he trained with Portsmouth a couple of weeks. They wanted him but did not manage to get the work-permit in time before trading deadline. Instead he signed a one-year contract with Lyn today and will be a very important player for them this year. The nigerian played a very good season last year, logically when attracting interest in big clubs, and will be a major factor in Lyns attack in the season to come. In other words, great news for the young squad of Lyn who need the qualities from the striker this season.
