Preview Tippeligaen, Norway

[E_S]

BRANN Stadium: Brann Stadion Capasitet: 23000 Avg. 2006: 16696 Best positions: Won the league in : 1962 and -63. Won the cup in: 1923, -25, -72, -76, -82 and 2004 Last year: 2. place Coach: Mons Ivar Mjelde Cap.: Martin Andresen Topscorer 2006: Bengt Sæternes 9 goals After last season 2.place, Brann will aim to get up another place on the tabell. Got Corrales and Solli as new players to already one of the best sqauds in Tippeligaen. Goalkeeper Opdahl has been in the National team latly. In defence the Iceland duo Sigurdsson and Bjarnasson will be, with two very attacking backs in Dahl and Hanstveit. In midfield there is enough players to choose from, including captain Martin Andresen. In attack Helstad, Winters and Sæternes will fight for the goals. Brann has built a new team the last seasons, and the expectations is high in Bergen before this season. The pressure from the fans is hugh, and could destroy if Brann starts bad. Another problem is their central defenders, where they dont have many good options if Sigurdsson or Bjarnasson gets a injury. Has also to do better on awaygames, where they lost many points last season Brann will fight in the top 4. IN Ramiro Corrales (Defender, HamKam) Jan Gunnar Solli (Midfield, Rosenborg) Tijan Jaiteh (Midfield, Gambia Ports Authority FC, Gambia) Kenneth Udjus (Goalkeeper, Tønsberg) OUT Martin Knudsen (Defender /Midfield, Tromsø) Kristian Ystaas (Midfield/Attacker, Notodden) Charlie Miller (Midfield, Lierse, Belgium) Migen Memelli (Attacker, GAIS, Sweden) Kenneth Udjus (Goalkeeper, Løv/Ham, loan to the summer) Arnaud Monkam (midfield, loan to Løv/Ham) FREDRIKSTAD Stadium: Nye Fredrikstad Stadion Capasitet: 12500 Avg. 2006: 8134 Best positions: Won the league in : 1938, -39, -49, -51, -52, -54, -57, -60 and -61. Won the cup in: 1932, -35, -36, -38, -40, -50, -57, -61, -66, -84 and 2006 Last year: 9. place Coach: Anders Grønhagen Cap.: John Anders Bjørkøy Topscorer 2006: Simen Brenne 8 goals New coach afer Knut Th. Eggen is Anders Grønhagen, that haven’t been working with the team very long. First thing he did was changing from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2, only problem is that they dont have players for that system at the moment. Sold their best player, Brenne, to Lillestrøm after last season, and haven’t managed to get any good recovery for him yet. Most of the new players won’t be used to anything else then backup players, but Fofana has done his job very good in the training matches. Has a good goalkeeper in the swedish nationalteam player Shaaban, and in defence Piiroja has to keep the team together. Made some signings in the defence, and that was very important since this part was the weakest last season and they had few to choose from. Kvisvik will be important in the offense play, but has some problems with injury at the moment. Young Elyounoussi (wanted by Chelsea) in the attack could get a good season this year. Fredrikstad will have to fight against relegation this year, wich will be a step back after last year win in the cup. IN Ismael Beko Fofana (Midfield, ASEC Mimosas Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire) Konan Serge Kouadio (Midfield, ASEC Mimosas Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire) Gardar Jóhannsson (Attacker, Valur, Iceland) Erik Bråthen (Goalkeeper, Kvik Halden) Anders Prytz (Defender, Örgryte, Sweden) Vidar Martinsen (Defender, Moss) Ciaran Martyn (midfield, Derry City, Ireland) OUT Simen Brenne (Midfield, Lillestrøm) Yherland McDonald (Attacker, Colorado Rapids, USA) Michael Røn (Midfield) Are Tronseth (Defender, Sparta Sarpsborg) José Garro (Attacker, Puntarena FC, Costa Rica) LILLESTRØM Stadium: Åråsen Capasitet: 12000 Avg. 2006: 8616 Best positions: Won the league in: 1959, 1976, 1977, 1986 and 1989 Won the cup in: 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1985 Last year: 4. place Coach: Tom Nordlie Cap.: Frode Kippe Topscorer 2006: Michael Mifsund 11 goals Lillestrøm with a new coach in Tom Nordli, that last season got fired from Start. Ha has change the formation from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3, which could make some problems in the begging since there has been some unstabel results in the training matches. Has bough some good players in Brenne and Essediri and has a very good sqaud. Nearly doubleup on each place and should have no problems if they got some injuryed players. In defence Kippe, Rambekk and Andresen will stop the most attackers. In midfield Riise (brother to more famost John-Arne Riise), Brenne and Søgård will make problems for other teams. Up front strong Occean and Sundgot, and the wingers Strand and Essediri will make the goals. Lillestrøm has the lastest years been the best club on set-pieces, and created a lot of goals and chances on that. Lost important Mifsund and Koren since last season. Could get problems if not their replacments are doing their job, but with a large sqaud and a new formation they shouldn’t miss Koren or Mifsund to much. If they need to buy new players, there are money in the club. Lillestrøm will fight in top 3, and could go all the way to the top. IN Viktor Bjarki Arnarson (Midfield, Vikingur, Iceland) Simen Brenne (Midfield, Fredrikstad) Karim Essediri (Attacker, Rosenborg) Alassane Diomande (Attacker, Stella Club) Tore Andreas Gundersen (Attacker, Kongsvinger) Lasse Bergan-Foss (Defender, youth club) OUT Michael Mifsud (Attacker, Coventry, England) Robert Koren (Midfield, West Bromwich Albion, England) Per Magne Misund (Goalkeeper, retired) Cyril Kali (Defender) Lasse Bergan Foss (Defender, Kongsvinger, loan to 30. juni) LYN Stadium: Ullevål Stadion Capasitet: 25572 Avg. 2006: 7083 Best positions: Won the league in: 1964 and 1968. Won the cup in: 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1945, 1946, 1967 and 1968 Last year: 7. place Coach: Henning Berg Cap.: Tommy Berntsen Topscorer 2006: Edu 8 goals Lyn had one of the youngest sqauds in Tippeligaen last season. Before this season they have bought Almyeda (33, ex. Inter, Lazio and Parma) and Flores (36, ex. Deportivo La Coruna, Mallorca and Velez). They had both retired for a while, but wanted to play more, and Lyn was lucky to get them both. Almeyda and Flores wont play the first games, since they will stay in Argentina to train in April. They will be ready to 1.may if every thing works out good. Should be interesting to see how they will perform after a break, and the expectations to Almeyda, that was wanted by River Plate and clubs in Italy and Spain, is hugh. Lyn has a good sqaud, and a fine mixture between experience players, as Tessem, Berntsen, Powell and the two new argentines. The youth is represended by the nigerians Edu and Bala, and Eriksen and Sokolowski. Sold one of their best defender after last season, Lustu, and need that some of the youngster will take another step up. Lyn will end around the middle of the tabel. IN Kim Kristian Holmen (Attacker, Lørenskog) Dylan Macallister (Attacker) Øyvind Gram (Midfield, on loan from Molde to 1.7) Erling Knudtzon (Midfield, Ullern) Matias Almeyda (Midfield) José Flores (Attacker) Ståle Stensaas (Defender, Rosenborg) OUT Christoffer Dahl (Midfield, KFUM Oslo) Steven Lustü (Defender, Silkeborg, Denmark) Daniel Theorin (Defender, Malmö FF, Sweden) Henrik Dahl (Defender, GAIS, Sweden) Stian Rasch (Attacker, Hønefoss) Frode Larsen (Goalkeeper, loan to Kjelsås) Jonathan Parr (Attacker, Aalesund) ODD GRENLAND Stadium: Odd Stadion Capasitet: 10000 Avg. 2006: 4917 Best positions: Won the cup in: 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1913, 1915, 1919, 1922, 1924, 1926, 1931 and 2000 Last year: 12. place Coach: Arne Sandstø and Gaute Larsen Cap.: Steffen Hagen Topscorer 2006: Per Nilsson, Espen Ruud and Fernando de Ornelas 5 goals Odd ended on 12.place last season. Their main problem last seasons has to be scoring goals. Last season only one club scored less goals then Odd, and in 2005 Odd scored less of all clube in Tippeligaen. So their main target this transfer window was to find a good attacker. They found one in Czech in Pospech. He will be the first Czech in Tippeligaen ever, and might not be the solution on Odds scoreing problem. He has never scored more then 5 goals in a season. So far has he not scored for Odd in the training matches. Odd has a pretty good starting line-up, but if injurys and/or suspensions will hit, they will get problems. Has a good goalkeeper in Jarstein, in defence Nilsson and Hansen are good players. Svindal Larsen will controll the midfield, and hopefully for Odd Pospech will score some goals. As mention Odd hasn’t the biggest sqaud and there might be some problems if Nilsson and Svindal Larsen leaves the club to the summer. Both is wanted by other clubs. Their away record has to be better, last season the managed only one awaywin. Think Odd will be around 8-12 place, depending on Pospech work on top and if Nilsson and Svindal Larsen will stay in the club. IN Sven Fredrik Stray (Defender, Mandalskameratene) Petter Bruer Hansen (Midfield, Tønsberg) Zbynek Pospech (Attacker, Slovan Liberec, Czech) OUT Ali Gerba (Attacker, back to IFK Göteborg, Sweden after loan) Morten Knutsen (Midfield, FK Arendal) ROSENBORG Stadium: Lerkendal Capasitet: 21166 Avg. 2006: 19440 Best positions: Won the league in: 1967, 1969, 1971, 1985, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006 Won the cup in: 1960, 1964, 1971, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1995, 1999 and 2003 Last year: 1. place Coach: Knut Tørum Cap.: Roar Strand Topscorer 2006: Steffen Iversen 17 goals Not much to say about Rosenborg. Has the best sqaud in Tippeligaen, and a lot of money to buy new if they need to. Many of the players has been there very long and are well known of what to do to win the league again. Bought some new players, that has the future ahead of them, but Traore and Konan has already shown some of their capacity in the training matches. Rosenborg has a experience defence with Basma, Riseth and Kvarme, and should soon start doing some changes there. In the midfield young Skjelbreid, Tettey and Sapara will run the hole day, while Iversen will continue to score on top. Not many bad thing to say about Rosenborg. Coach Tørum is a little unexperience, but haveing a sqaud like this, most coaches should gain victories. Will be a big sensation if Rosenborg not winning the title, and a bigger shock if they aren’t in top 3. Most experts has Rosenborg on top, so do i. IN Fredrik Stoor (Defender, Hammarby, Sweden) Didier Konan (Midfield, ASEC Mimosas Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire) Andreas Nordvik (Defender, youth club) Alejandro Lago (Defender, back from loan in IFK Göteborg, Sweden) Abdoulrazak Traoré (Midfield, youth club) OUT Ørjan Berg (Midfield, retired) Jan Gunnar Solli (Midfield, Brann) Espen Johnsen (Goalkeeper, Strømsgodset, loan out the season) Sebastian Eguren (Midfield, Hammarby, Sweden) Aksel Skjølsvik (Attacker, Molde) Karim Essediri (Attacker, Lillestrøm) Jahmir Hyka (Attacker, Dinamo Tirana, Albania) Ståle Stensaas (Defender, Lyn) SANDEFJORD Stadium: Storstadion (Komplett.no Arena from 9.8.07) Capasitet: 6500 (9000 from 9.8.07) Avg. 2006: 5321 Best positions: 9. place Tippeliga 2006 Last year: 9. place Coach: Tor Thodesen Cap.: Tommy Knarvik Topscorer 2006: Anders Tegstrøm 10 goals Last year Sandefjord was one of the biggest surprises, as most experts expected them to end on a relegation spot, but ended on a 9.place and came to the cupfinal. Also this year Sandefjord is expected to end in the relegation battle. Has to rely on important Kjølner, Knarvik and Tegstrøm this season too. Has get 3 new backs this year, that all are like to run forward when they get the chances. Sandefjord has a small sqaud, where most of the players don’t have much experience in Tippeligaen, and if they get injurys they dont have good backup players or money to buy any new. Goalkeeper Bugge Pettersen is pretty unstabel, and important midfield Mjelde will miss most of the games in the beginning with a injury. Last year many clubs took a little easy on Sandefjord, that will not happend this year. Sandefjord will fight a hard battle against relegation this year. IN Jan Frode Nornes (Defender, Strømsgodset) Martin Jensen (Defender, Esbjerg, Denmark) Olav Tuelo Johannessen (Attacker, back from loan in Bodø/Glimt) Sampo Koskinen (Defender, FC Honka, Finland) Ebrima Sohna (Midfield, Wallidan, Gambia) OUT Tom Kristoffersen (Defender, retired) Arnar Førsund (Defender, Vålerenga) Ole Tobiasen (Defender, Benidorm, Spain) Hjalmar Johansen (Defender, Sparta Sarpsborg) Ørjan Berg Hansen (Midfield, Kongsvinger) Brian Waltrip (Midfield, Sogndal) Vadim Demidov (Midfield, Hønefoss) Kjell André Thu (midfield, Skeid) STABÆK Stadium: Nadderud Capasitet: 8000 Avg. 2006: 5061 Best positions: Won the cup in 1998 Last year: 5. place Coach: Jan Jönsson Cap.: Mike Kjølø Topscorer 2006: Daniel Nannskoog 19 goals A strong season by Stabæk in 2006. They have to thank the two attackers Nannskog and Pall Gunnarsson for that, they scored 37 of 53 goals last season. Thats very good, and if they can continu this season, Stabæk can fight for a Royal League place. Stabæk has a good starting lineup, but the reserves ain’t the best, so if they where hit but injurys or suspension, they can get some problems. Coach Jonsson has done good job, and made two interesting signings in Furuseth Olsen and Segerstrøm. Stabæk will this season play on Nadderud, while they wait for they new stadium to be ready. Nadderud is one of the worst stadiums in Tippeligan, and they dont have many fans comeing to support them either. They dont have the best goalkeeper either, he has played pretty unstabel the last seasons. Top 5 for Stabæk this season. IN Petter Furuseth Olsen (Attacker, Hammarby, Sweden) Eirik Markegård (Attacker, back from loan in Hønefoss) Pontus Segerström (Defender, Landskrona, Sweden) OUT Jesper Jansson (Midfield, retired) Magnus Karlsson (Defender, retired) Ulrik Arneberg (Defender, loan to Skeid out season) Andreas Strand (Attacker, loan to Moss out season) Karim Aoudia (Attacker, loan to Sparta Sarpsborg) Joakim Persson (Midfield, Landskrona, Sweden) START Stadium: Sør Arena Capasitet: 14300 Avg. 2006: 7677 Best positions: Won the league in 1978 and 1980 Last year: 6. place Coach: Stig Inge Bjørnebye Cap.: Bård Borgersen Topscorer 2006: David Nielsen 5 goals Start will play their first season on their brand new stadium Sør Arena. But the biggest thing they did, was getting Hæstad back from Wigan, after a disapointing loan. He is ready for the season, and will together with Strømstad be very important on the midfield for Start. This will also be Bjørnebye first hole season as a coach, and it will be interesting to see how it goes. Bought two Brazilians and the expectations to Ygor and Bruno is hugh. Will be interesting to see how they deal with the new formation and culture in Norway. Start has a problem with their left back, after they let Johnsen go to loan to Cologne to the summer. They have tryed some different players on that place, and so far they have landed on right-footed Paulsen. Other places that can make some problems for Start is if their two central defenders Borgersen and Engedal gets injuryed. They have no good backup there, and both of them are injuryed at the moment. Attacker Nielsen is also important, but they dont have any good backup for him either. Many young talented players is ready to take the changes if they get one, and they should do better this season then in 2006. Been some problems between the supporters and the leaders in the club, because of the high prices on the tickets on the new stadium. Start will end around 5-9 place. IN Espen Børufsen (Midfield, youth club) Ben Wright (Attacker, back from loan in Moss) Morten Hæstad (Attacker back from loan in Haugesund) Anthony Annan (Midfield, Hearts of Oak, Ghana) Christer Kleiven (Midfield, youth club) Ygor Maciel Santiago (Midfield, Vasco da Gama, Brazil) Bruno Rato Silva (Attacker, America, Brazil) Avni Pepa (Defender, youth club) OUT Marius Johnsen (Defender, loan to Cologne, Germany out the germany season) Bala Garba (Attacker, Notodden) Todi Jónsson (Attacker) Tom Berhus (Midfield, retired) Sebastian Schindzielorz (Midfield) David Hanssen (Midfield, Hønefoss) Kjetil Ruthford Pedersen (Defender, loan to MK out season) Magnus Ask Mikkelsen (Attacker, loan to MK out season) STRØMSGODSET Stadium: Marienlyst Stadion Capasitet: 8500 Avg. 2006: 4076 Best positions: Won the league in: 1970. Won the cup in: 1969, 1970, 1973 and 1991 Last year: 1. in Adeccoligaen Coach: Dag-Eilev Fagermo Cap.: Øyvind Leonhardsen Topscorer 2006: Mattias Andersson 19 goals Strømsgodset is back in Tippeligaen, after 5 years in Adeccoligaen. Didnt have many problems to secure the promotion last season, but will meet better teams now. If Strømsgodset will stay in Tippeligaen this year, the new players has to take ressponsebility and do a good season. Goalkeeper Johnsen is very good, and could be the next national goalkeeper for Norway. Aas and Bergdølmo is both experience and should do a good job in defence, but misses some pace in the defenders. Strømsgodsets main problem will be the center midfield, where they have good enough players but they could be very unstabel. The midfielders is also not the best defence players, since all of them are more then happy to run forward, but not to run home again. Also a new attacker might be needed since none of them in the sqaud have played or done a good job in Tippeligaen before. If its necessary, Strømsgodset has money to bring in new players, and might do that later in the season. Hard season for Strømsgodset and i guess they will be around the relegation places and fight to survive, 10-13 place. IN Espen Johnsen (Goalkeeper, Rosenborg, loan out season) Stian Ohr (Midfield, Molde) Alexander Aas (Defender, Odense, Denmark) André Bergdølmo (Defender, FC København, Denmark) OUT Thomas André Ødegaard (Goalkeeper) Petar Rnkovic (Attacker, Randaberg) Svein Tore Brandshaug (Midfield, Haugesund) Jan Frode Nornes (Defender, Sandefjord) Boureima Ouattara (Defender) Robert Holmen (Defender) Kenneth Karlsen(Defender, retired) TROMSØ Stadium: Alfheim Capasitet: 10000 Avg. 2006: 5068 Best positions: Won the league in 1986 abd 1996. Last year: 10. place Coach: Steinar Nilsen Cap.: Ole Martin Årst Topscorer 2006: Ole Martin Årst 11 goals After Nilsen came in as coach after Nordmark, Tromsø started to play better, and ended on 10. place last season. Has played very well in the training matches, started with 7 straight wins. Tromsø is well organized, and fight hard in every tackling. The new midfield Sequeira will be important, and is a good new signing. If Tromsø will get a good season depends on their two star attacker Årst and Rushfeldt. They both need to contiune scoring and play as well as they finished last season. Tromsø will get a better season this year, then last season. Are strong at home, and made cleaver signings during the winter. One of the biggest sqauds in Tippeligaen (27players), but has some longterm injurys. Sold important Kibebe and his replacment Nordnes is that good. Tromsø will end around 7-10 place. IN Henrik Nordnes (Defender, Follo) Martin Knudsen (Defender/Midfield, Brann) Douglas Sequeira (Midfield, Real Salt Lake, USA) Joel Lindpere (Midfield, Flora Tallinn, Estonia) Tom Høgli (midfield, Bodø/Glimt) OUT Benjamin Kibebe (Defender, Aalesund) Roar Christensen (Midfield, retired) Ole Andreas Nilsen (Attacker, not a new contract) Arash Talebinejad (Attacker, Brommapojkarna, Sweden) Tomasz Stolpa (Midfield, Gefle, Sweden) VIKING Stadium: Viking Stadion Capasitet: 16100 Avg. 2006: 13910 Best positions: Won the league in: 1958, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1979, 1982 and 1991. Won the cup in: 1953, 1959, 1979, 1989 and 2001 Last year: 11. place Coach: Uwe Rosler Cap.: Allan Gaarder Topscorer 2006: Peter Ijeh 11 goals Viking with a new coach in Røsler. Made some very good signings this winter, and the exceptations in Stavanger is hugh, and they haven’t got any lower after good training results. Plays their homegames on a very nice stadium, that always are full of fans. A weak point is the goalkeeper, at least to Myhre comes to the summer. Asper did some strang things last season, and young Austbø didn’t do a better job. Has many options in defence and attack, but might get some problems in midfield, espacially if Gaarde is out long with injury. He broke his leg in a training game, and will miss the first rounds. Last season Viking didn’ play together as a team, hopefully they will do better this year, and should be abel to fight around 5-7 place. IN Andreas Ulland Andersen (Midfield, Vard Haugesund) Børre Steenslid (Defender, Sogndal) Anders Kristiansen (Goalkeeper, youth club) Maurice Ross (Defender, Millwall, England) Thomas Myhre (Goalkeeper, Charlton, England, from 1. july) Höskuldur Eiriksson (Defender, Vikingur, Iceland, loan out season) Razak Pimpong (Attacker, FC København, Denmark) Hannes Sigurdsson (Attacker, Brøndby, Denmark) OUT Johan Lædre Bjørdal (Defender, Bodø/Glimt) Fredric Lundqvist (Defender, retired) Kenneth Sola (Defender, SIF) Magnar Nordtun (Goalkeeper, Randaberg) Rhys Weston (Defender, Port Vale, England) Torger Motland (Attacker, Mandalskameratene, loan out season) VÅLERENGA Stadium: Ullevål Stadion Capasitet: 25572 Avg. 2006: 13873 Best positions: Won the league in 1965, 1981, 1983, 1984 and 2005. Won the cup in 1980, 1997 and 2002. Last year: 3. place Coach: Petter Myhre Cap.: Ronny Johnsen Topscorer 2006: Jan Derek Sørensen 9 goals Vålerenga has got a medal the last three seasons, and wants to contiune with that. Coach Myhre came in late in last season, after Rekdal quit. Haven’t lost many games with Myhre in charge, and has good results in Royal League and the trainig games. Vålerenga is very good on getting up young players, and there are many that could go against a good season there. Horn, Førsund, Fellah and Roberts will all get many changes this season, and there are more youngsters right behind them too. Has s good goalkeeper in Arason. In defence Johnsen and Wæhler will be like a wall. Only problem with them are that they often are injuryed. Has many options in midfield (Grindheim, Holm, Jalland, Fellah and dos Santos). On top they have different type of players in Sørensen, Lange Fredheim Holm and Roberts. Myhre is a very unexperience coach, but has good results so far, but what will happend when they starts loseing? Not often Ullevål is sold out, but they have many fans. Vålerenga in top 4! IN Arnar Førsund (Defender, Sandefjord) Sebastian Mila (Midfield, Austria Wien, Austria) Jørgen Jalland (Midfield, Rubin Kazan, Russia) OUT Tom Henning Hovi (Defender, retired) Tore André Flo (Attacker, Leeds, England) Dan Alberto Fellus (Attacker, Hakoah Ramat Gan, Israel) Jalal El-Gharbi (Attacker, loan to Moss to the summer) AALESUND Stadium: Color Line Stadion Capasitet: 11.000 Avg. 2006: 9942 Best positions: 13. place Tippeliga 2003 og 2005 Last year: 2. in Adeccoligaen Coach: Per Joar Hansen Cap.: Magnus Kihlberg Topscorer 2006: Dede Anderson 14 goals Aalesund is back in Tippeligaen after just one season in Adeccoligaen. Not to many good new players has come in, so they have to trust on most of those players that secure promotion last year. Have had some problems with last year topscorer Dede. He returned last week to Aalesund after a very long Christmas holdiday in Brazil and will use some weeks before he is ready to play again, if the coach still want to use him. Aalesund has one of the best goalkeepers in Tippeligaen in Adien Brown, and they need him to stay fit the hole season. There are some experience players in the sqaud, Fjørtoft, Skiri and Werni, but no big profiles. In the attack they need to trust on Aarøy and Olsen since they don’y have many backup players there. Rightwing Austnes could get a good season this year, and could end up as a natinoal team player soon. Aalesund will get a hard season, and will have to fight against relegation. IN Benjamin Kibebe (Defender, Tromsø) Magnus Kihlberg (Midfield, IFK Göteborg, Sweden) Peter Orry Larsen (Midfield, Skavøypoll) Denis Selimovic (Midfield, NK Primorje, Slovenia) Enar Jääger (Defender, Torpedo Moscow, Russia) Jonathan Parr (Attacker, Lyn) OUT Kabba Samura (Attacker) Christian Negouai (Midfield, Brussel, Belgium) Oddbjørn Lie (Midfield, Hødd) Kristoffer Tollås (Midfield) Bjørn Erik Melland (Defender) Herman Ekeberg (Defender, retired) Thomas Gjørtz (Defender, loan to Løv-Ham) To sum up a little. In the top we have Rosenborg, whit Vålerenga, Lillestrøm and Brann right back. Viking, Start, Lyn and Stabæk will end around the middel. Tromsø, Strømsgodset, Aalesund, Fredrikstad, Odd and Sandefjord will be in the bottom, and i guess Aalesund and Sandefjord will be relegated at the end.
