The MAIF - Malmö connection

Niklas Skoog is the new MAIFer

Fridays hottest news in Football-Blekinge was that Niklas Skoog, ex scorer of Malmö FF is ready for the black and yellow shirt. After some scoop info in the local papers that Mjällby had signed well known Malmö FF striker Niklas Skoog same papers denied that anything had happened. Even if both clubs agreed to the move Skoog himself rejected the offer.

After some more thinking Skoog changed his mind and the transfer was a fact.

A great recruitment and one of the bigger in MAIFs history.

Highly qualified Niklas Skoog, 34 years, is 178 cm tall, weights 78 kg and is said to have Allsvenskans biggest ass (have not checked that detail). He debutaded in Allsvenskan with Västra Frölunda in 1991. But he is most famous for being a Malmö FF skriker since 2000. He was best scorer in Allsvenskan in 1995 and 2003. He has 8 selections in the national team, won Allsvenskan in 2004 with Malmö - toghether with Mattias Asper and has totally played 195 games of Allsvenskan, scoring 86 goals. He has also been a professional in the german clubs MSV Duisburg (1996-1998) och FC Nürnberg (1998-1999).

Skoog is ready to play for Mjällby with immediate effect, which means that he can do his MAIF debute already monday with Väsby United.

Niklas Skoog is on loan from Malmö FF for the rest of the season.

The other Malmö connection is that ex Mjällby goalkeeper Dusan Melicharek made his Allsvenskan debut saturday. Unfortunatelly after MFFs regular goalie, Jonas Sandqvist, had to leave the field after a bloody story. He collided with IFKs Ragnar Sigurdsson and both players had to leave the field. Sigurdsson came back into the pitch very fast but it took a while to put Sandqvists head together. He did come back though but had to give up and leave his place to Melicharek early in the second half. The game ended 2-0 to IFk Göteborg, both goals made before Melicharek entered. First goal made by 17 year old Robin Söder already in the first minute. Jonas Wallerstedt scored his seventh goal of the season in the sixth minute of the injury time.

By the way, Melicharek saw the good game of Mjällby with Brommapojkarna last Tuesday together with Amel Hrnjic, goal of SGIF (Sölvesborg).
