Elfsborg have sold star striker Denni Avdic to Bundesliga side Werder Bremen. Avdic who finished joint top scorer in the Allsvenskan last season was hot property. Werder though were quick to seal his signature as Hugo Almeida departed Bremen for Besiktas.
Avdic won't however be playing European football for the remainder of the season as Bremen failed to qualify for the Europa League via the champions league group stages last month.

Ruiz in at Halmstads
Josep Clotet Ruiz has been appointed Halmstads manager for 2011. The Spaniard who was assistant coach at Malmo in 2010 will be given the task of taking Halmstads out of the doldrums.
The former Espanyol B coach has to improve the confidence in the squad.
Elfsborg 2010
Elfsborg were tipped as favorites for the title this year with their squad. This squad though is aging with Anders Svensson getting on now. Stefan Ishizaki though was a standout player in the 2nd half of the season with his goals and assists that helped Elfsborg into 4th place.
They have a bright future with Johan Larsson particularly impressive. Their experienced squad though is aging as mentioned with Teddy Lucic retiring and Svensson now 34. They will need to keep hold of Denni Avdic, who had a fantastic season in front of goal but he could be tempted with a move abroad.
Orebro 2010
2010 will be looked on as a great season for Orebro. In the end they finished well clear in 3rd place but the gap between themselves and the front two will have to be addressed. They have though made though decisions and with European football next season can this squad handle the pressure of more games. Just like other sides their young talented players will be looked upon by suiters abroad which could hamper their hopes for 2011 which should be consolidate their European ambitions and challenge for the title maybe.
Alejandro Bedoya, Markus Astvald and Nordin Gerzic were sensational this year but defense at times remains shaky and the departure of Patrik Anttonen will have to be filled properly. Sixten Bostrom's future could also be a worry.
