Ole Söderberg has recently been interviewed by Swedish paper Aftonbladet. Says he won't stay after the summer, he feels he needs to start playing now. Regarding Carroll: "He used to fight a lot, now that's over, it's a lot calmer here. He says he likes to go out for a beer. He wired the jaw of another player (might not have used those exact words )."
On Ba: "He's a big player. Him and Cissé are starting to become famous, and if Ba continues scoring, I guess Liverpool will buy him. That's just the way it feels, as soon as someone comes good here, Liverpool buys them."
Grading his life in Newcastle (out of five):
The town: 4 - "A very nice town. Everyone who has visited me has liked it a lot. A real football-city, everyone loves football and NUFC. I've enjoyed my time here a lot."
The league: 5 - "The best league in the world."
The fans: 5 - "They almost fill the ground every home game. They are fantastic and always supports the team."
His wages: 5 - "I'm very happy with my wages. If you move from Häcken to a PL-club, you're going to make a lot."
The weather: 2 - "It's windy as hell, and rains a lot. It's warmer than Gothenburg, but I would probably prefer Gothenburg, it's always raining and windy here."
Glamour: 3 - "Sometimes I get recognised and get to sign shirts. If you out to a club, you move past the queue."
