TYLER ROSENLUND BACK TO SWEDEN...

Former University of Santa Barbara midfielder and British Colombia native Tyler Rosenlund is having a real tough go of it in Scandinavia. He has been released by AIK Stockholm, and now IFK Mariehamn of the Finnish league. Rosenlund is currently looking to catch on with a second division team back in Sweden.

This from my contact in Sweden: Tyler did not get a contract with IFK Mariehamn either (something I find strange in a way), they said he wasn't the type of player they were looking for. He is now supposedly to continue his route of trials with the Swedish club Åtvidaberg. It's a very "old and honorable" club that plays in our secondary division these days, normally ending up in the middle or lower half of that league. It's also a team that servers as a farming club for Djurgården, AIKs bitter rivals the the second biggest team in Stockholm...

I bet that GA deal is looking better all the time. HE could probably still get it, and come in via a Draft Lottery, which would not doubt be horribly stacked in TFC's favor.

The guy should have some self-respect.
