Report: Hobro "baffled" by "alternative facts" in Anatole Abang transfer spat with Naestved

Related Topics: Næstved

Hobro has responded to the public and detailed accusation that it bungled Anatole Abang's proposed transfer to Naestved. A newspaper report followed by a furious post to Naestved's official Facebook page described a player (Abang) and a team (Naestved) urgently working to secure a deadline-day deal but thwarted by an insensitive, even negligent, lack of haste on the part of Hobro.

Abang's loan from the New York Red Bulls to Hobro was terminated on transfer deadline day in Denmark. Naestved moved quickly to sign up one of the few (or, perhaps, only) Cameroon internationals playing in the second tier of Danish pro soccer, reached agreement with the player, and then saw the deal go dead because Hobro wasn't in a mood to get it done.
