Örebro not following South American example

With the season over for another year all sixteen teams in next year's Allsvenskan are planning their moves in the transfer market. Most clubs will be looking to bring in imports from all over the world with South America the prime target. The leagues sees some good South American talent with the likes of Iván Óbolo, Wanderson and Wilton Figueiredo.
But one club that may not be breaking the bank on South American's are Orebro. The club who finished a respectable 6th in 2009. The club dosen't have a tradition of splashing out on Brazilians or Argentinian, instead they focus on the talent arround them and in other Nordic countries.
The club targets the Finnish market with the Finnish Veikausliiga the prime target. Last winter Orebro signed Tommy Wirtanen from IFK Mariehamn which proved a good buy for the first half of the season. This winter the club are on the look out again.
Back in the summer Brazilain Adriano Munoz signed but was signed from Tromso which didn;t cost to much. The club will be looking to give their young players comming through a chance as well. 2009 saw Erik Nilsson and Marcs Astvald among others star for the side.
It is well noting that Roni Porokara is Finnish and was signed in 2007 from FC Honka and has since become a star in the league promting interest from abroad. Also the boss Sixten Bostrom is Finnish as well which will help the recruitment of talent across the Baltic.
