Off-Season Transfer Dealings
First and foremost, all of our departures were contracts not renewed, we lost about 30 players. We did bring in many players, as well, but not nearly 30!
Robert Aron Odinsson - Central Midfielder - Odinsson comes to us from Selfoss after his contract ran out. His physical and mental attributes look excellent but technically, he can certainly improve.
Einar Thor Steinarsson - Central Midfielder - Steinarsson is another young, Icelandic central midfielder that we brought in to provide competition for places and depth in the center of the park. He has good mental attributes for his position and decent physical ones. The big disappointment is his passing of just a 6....
Reynir Gylfason - Central Attacking Midfielder - with our move to a 4-2-3-1 this season, we brought in a few options that could play in the center of our attacking midfield and Gylfason is definitely in competition for minutes. He has decent physical, good mental and room for improvement in his technical skills. He also has a nice bit of flair for the position!
Andri Fannar Baldursson - Central Midfielder - Probably our best signing of the off-season comes to us on a free after appearing 44 times for Icelandic top-division side Fylkir. That experience, paired with great physical and technical skills for the level could change matches in our favor, especially since we'll likely be fighting to stay in the top division!
Jonatan Andersson - Central Midfielder - The first of a few Scandinavian additions comes to us from Gefle on a free. He definitely can improve technically and will do so with some minutes in the top-flight.
Ilias Balidis - Right Attacking Midfielder - Balidis comes to us from Sundsvall and I was intrigued by his potential on the wing for us. He already has good physical attributes and possesses good dribbling and decent crossing for our level, he'll make a useful wide player for us down the line.
Adrian Romero - Central Attacking Midfielder - This is the type of player that I dreamt about as my Advanced Playmaker - a young, South American with good physical abilities, great mentals, and very good technical abilities for his position. My DoF slid his file across my desk and after a trial, I couldn't let him leave. He is already a mainstay at the U20 level for Uruguay and maybe we can push him further!
Aron Ingi Thorvaldsson - Attacking Midfielder - This was our first foray of the year into the loan market and with good effect! Thorvaldsson can play in any position across the attacking midfield, in the center of the park, or at the tip of the attack. He'll be a nice addition for us!
Valur Atlason - Attacking Midfielder - Another loanee that can play in multiple positions in the attacking midfield. There seems to be quite a lack of outside attacking midfielders available to me, so we have to shoehorn somebody....
Victor Enggaard - Left Back - On first glance at his technical skills, it's a wonder why we signed Enggaard but glancing to his physical abilities, he is the paciest player on our team with great agility and great acceleration to go along! He can progress well with us.
Mikkel Karoliussen - Right Back - the pairing for Enggaard is a very a defensively-advanced fullback with good mental abilities and good physical abilities! He will plug straight into the lineup.
