A real roller coaster of a season, finishing in the best possible way. Hammered the teams that invited us to dance but struggled in many matches that should have been clear victories against clubs that sat back and defended, especially during the periods where Atashkadeh was injured.

Atashkadeh was a real beast when fit:

Him and Wallén formed a great big man-little man combo and were selected for the team of the year:

My summer signings:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Aar2iWcHAm8TfXU9eKSo2emLDRP8ugaTDNrimUoh.png

Decent young leftback from New Zealand signed after an agent offer and a trial, will provide some back-up behind Dinda. Loaned him out to Qviding for the rest of the season though.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Iqj1ozYzyGUXCR46TQc1hRI50CIRjI9MyjQyrtqW.png

Signed from Hoffenheim on a free, I just couldn't resist the urge to sign a Liechtensteiner to my team, that's just not an opportunity that comes by very often! Will be a good rotation option behind Lindström and Mieno and will serve as a replacement if/when I sell one of them.

He could have shot all his scenes for next season already. It's not like his storyline would need lots of scenes, just one where Melisandre revives him, his storyline could stay off-screen for the rest of the season after that, just like Bran's this season.

Damn it, why are we signing English players and trying to help them progress their careers? We should just go down the route of some of the bigger clubs and fill our team with foreigners and forget about the English players instead...

You should sign the best players possible for the best possible price. That's rarely an English player.

Why are we signing Kieran Trippier? We already have 2 right backs.

Because he's young and English? Wasting money on every half-decent young English player has been Spurs MO for years.

Transfer summary ahead of the 2016 season:

Players out:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/DP53ZQjcFbnTB0WAYRUNv7grxU6r9vEeKjWYtOfN.png

Mourad, Ingvarsson and Andersson are the big names there. Good players, but I could find options of a much higher quality.

Players in:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/fuLzFRYQoiVTAQgx8g6RyKTfWzxy31lLmOQFo1B5.png

You know about this one already, I had Dinda previously at both Lens and Zaragoza and I am delighted to have been able to get him to a club of ÖIS stature. He lacks strength and his crossing leaves a lot to be desired, but aside from that he has pretty much everything you would ask for in a fullback. He has the potential to play at a much higher level than this.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/brPmk2bapNhWCZ89TJ8wblONflSaOoeYUxWnyDJd.png

A former U21 international who can do a job at many position. Spent last year without a club, but he can still become a good Allsvenskan player.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/DPTIFzfQrElggnMFRbxmt3w09Bzpjo8kVzgj3KIp.png

A current U21 international loaned from our promotion rivals AIK, Sonko Sundberg will add some much needed pace to our backline. Was on a contract with just a year left at AIK when the loan was completed but signed a new deal before the season started.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/m7uj9JYdf8oP9xx2WgNjtgHLhYI8aGXhJxiLbhEo.png

A promising young winger on loan from champions Malmö. On an expiring contract with them so I hope to secure him on a free transfer in the summer.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Yr8PzYUqC1t0OuUIfAe1c0p8wLCoWBg2IdZUqyl6.png

Another loan from MFF. A tall and strong centre back formerly in the Everton youth academy, he has the potential to become a top quality defender in Sweden. Like Johansson he is on an expiring contract, but I have a 2m kr release clause in the loan deal just in case Malmö decide to sign him to a new deal.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/znIEuB5DaaxbqVvMJqb6eCISNRZGJmWEsEalFN7w.png

Another familiar face from my previous careers. Cavaré's move to Rennes didn't turn out well for him, giving me the opportunity to bring him in on loan. Should be an excellent fullback at this level.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jBT0XAnPZDCzk9dlDlh0OG7FjzyzMeLir3sZMnQ9.png

A Gambian targetman formerly at Saint-Étienne signed on Sylvain Wiltord's recommendation. A player the defenders in this league will struggle against physically.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Izt18UicVVvrI6wBHXY8lBZ8C4n4CZn9fraQJvWi.png

A defensive midfielder once highly regarded and seen as destined for great things, Semou played in the Norwegian 3rd tier last season. Still has the potential to become a very good Allsvenskan player, maybe even more than that.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/C0Mf5Dhg1VJtXJmSShh96LpCnVAm7Q64CnQ6NB9N.png

A Finnish U21 international brought in to add some further depth to our midfield. With the right development he could become a very good Allsvenskan player.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/JjUWzYm94OYSPQ7PhJRzj8BhCjz81u24y3q6bPx5.png

A young Icelandic player who is natural both in the centre of midfield and up front. One for the future.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/PrQTK4mXjGq48gUgmdR0i68sf6K1EUkvfYLKiTmq.png

An experienced Canadian international who has had the last few years of his career decimated by injuries signed after a trial that followed an agent recommendation. Lacks quickness, but he still has the technical and mental attributes to make a big impact at this level.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jWLOw3TciffcfNo45TkAP4gyu9XsJiMcRGtfaDGe.png

A very versatile young Dane who has the potential to become a great Allsvenskan player.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/vbu5ObsbnvwSL9vIoQ0VYmarqajstFJNiNdcpwwE.png

A former Finnish international with playing experience from Germany, Russia and Norway. Should be a confident presence in our goal as we challenge for promotion.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/48WCFynbDSUDq6AbfOJE74THqCxVk12V9rzYSJy4.png

Another player signed on an agent recommendation. The highest paid and arguably the best player in our squad, a Kenyan international and a great addition to any Swedish club. A strong season from him and we might be looking at a very nice transfer cheque from some foreign club.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/nVWC3FVY3wfkrcnedmcwlxGXrE0Pbr1jvD5sMcLb.png

Former Liverpool academy player, Swedish U21 international and a big Örgryte supporter, getting Kristoffer Peterson on a two-year loan from FC Utrecht is a great achievement.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/771PpLjiKRAFvuK9BZSQCJG9g7xV5c6VNCyPpcaw.png

Our final signing of the spring. A tremendously experienced player signed more as a coach than as a player, but he's still good enough to make an appearance if needed.

Summary:

France is much much better than Greece..

Albania and France are both squads fully composed of professionals, the majority of the Albanian national team plays in European top divisions, and it was a friendly.

The Faroe Islands only have like 6 full-time professionals in their squad and they are playing in places like Iceland or the Danish third tier. Albania has 6 players just from Serie A.
