Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted October 17, 2016 Jonas Davidsson will not ride for Piraterna next season. He says himself that Piraterna want to have a top 4 of Greg H, Emil S, Peter Kildemand and N-K Iversen then Davidsson's average would be to hight to fit in. http://corren.se/nyheter/han-raknar-inte-med-piraterna-om4341606.aspx I wonder what the heck Piraterna is thinking (likely they are not thinking at all). They have several times the past years have troubled finances but now they they continue to sign expensive riders as if they would have find their own gold mine. This kind of headless spending needs to stop (that goes for all teams) and the clubs needs to start to go with more home grown riders instead. If I could choose, I would like Elitserien to have 5 Swedish riders and 2 foreign stars / line-up rather then the opposite that we have now, 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 854 Posted October 18, 2016 If Piraterna are going for that top four it would leave just enough space for Palovaara and two 0.500 riders? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) In today's local newspaper, there was a very nice interview with John "Cowboy" Cook. It is available online but is behind a pay wall though. http://ekuriren.se/sport/1.4463751-legendaren-john-cook-om-livet-doden-och-vm-avslutningen Edited October 22, 2016 by Ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

June01 270 Posted October 27, 2016 He says himself that Piraterna want to have a top 4 of ...Emil S... Hope they make the terms of his contract crystal clear this time and ensure he's going to make himself available for play-offs. Didn't go down at all well with the fans last time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted October 31, 2016 Pretty quiet on the signing front at the moment but it is till another 4 week until the squad declarations are due. Some top names like Nicki P, G. Laguta, N-K Iversen, Piotr Pawlicki and Matej Zagar still haven't signed a deal for next season. It will also be interesting to see if any team have the guts to sign Milik. A good prospect but he comes with a very hight average (2.000+). Then for Smederna, the question is whether or not Kenni L is fit for league racing next season. If he is reasonably fit I can't Smederna not signing him, I think that Smederna will be interesting in supporting him after what happened to Kenni. He has also been very loyal to Smederna and is said to have a, relatively, cheap contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smederna are rumoured to have signed with Milik. http://ekuriren.se/sport/1.4492586-avslojar-ny-forare-overens-med-smederna Smederna are also interested in Iversen but he is rumoured to have signed for Piraterna. Freddie Lindgren have signed with Dackarna. G. Laguta wants to wait a little more before making up his mind. Mikkel Michelsen initially intended to leave Smederna but after becoming burned by another team, he have made some contact with Smederna. So we'll see what happens. http://ekuriren.se/sport/1.4492586-avslojar-ny-forare-overens-med-smederna Edited November 1, 2016 by Ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
