I think all of you already read that 3rd team of last Champions League, the one which broke the record of highest attendance in handball passed to the history after only couple of seasons. But now AG's former stars are looking for new teams(and not everyone will go to Paris HB which is going to be similar team in France).
Let's take a look on the roster(including players who were to join the team since 2012/13):
GK:
Kasper Hvidt - Still one of the best GKs, but quite an old one. I don't really know what is his next destination. I would like him to join Bjerringbro-Silkeborg which will miss Landin very much and need big GK for Champions League.
Steinar Ege - 40 year-old Norwegian mentioned he's thinking about retirement. Maybe one more season, at least in home country?
LW:
Gudjon Valur Sigurdsson - Before the fall of AG he signed contract with THW Kiel after one great season in Denmark.
Stefan Hundstrup - Not really a international star, but solid winger for the middle-tabled teams. I think he'll join one of them or go to some bottom team in Bundesliga.
Fredrik Raahauge Petersen - Was signed to replace Sigurdsson, now he may return to Silkeborg(played them last couple of seasons) to help the Champions League team. But after great performance at Olympics(also as backcourt player, not only LW) he should have other offers too.
RW:
Nicklas Ekberg - Best scorer of Olympics could enter Kiel(has one RW) or Madrid(to replace Abalo and after selling Frenchman they should have enough money). But didn't know anything serious about his future.
Kasper Ottesen - Young Dane was only occasional player and he was going to leave the team no matter of financial problems. Propably will stay in Denmark.
LP:
Rene Toft Hansen - Had a contract for next seasons with Kiel already.
Henrik Toft Hansen - I've read he's already in Silkeborg and it's good move as he'll play again in Champions League.
Carlos Prieto - Tall defence specialist was going to be new player for next season, but I read he is already Kadetten Schaffhausen newest reinforcment.
LB:
Mikkel Hansen - One of two best handballers of today(with F.Jicha) is thought to be close to THW Kiel. But Paris is hunting him for sure and today I read also Polish champion Vive Kielce wants him(but this offer won't be so good financially as Paris' for sure).
Mads M. Larsen - Young, talented and already having powerful shot Larsen already signed a contract with one of Danish strong teams from Aalborg.
Lars T. Jorgensen - Experienced defense specialist is very close to sign a contract with some solid team in Denmark(Holstebro if I remember well).
CB:
Arnor Atlason - After solid Olympic tournament Icelander who can be also LB shouldn't have a problem to find a new job. Maybe Flensburg should think about him to avoid situation from their last Champions League performance when they had 10 players to play some match and sign some more top class back?
Snorri Gudjonsson - In contrast to his compatriot he played very weak at Olympics and he could be blamed for losing quarter-final as he got saved from 7-m in 60th minute. Playing in Denmark for very long time he might stay there I think. Silkeborg is in need for CB too.
Joachim Boldsen - He isn't this player who led Flensburg to Champions League final. Injuries and getting older reduced his skills of course. Since playing in Barcelona he's playing mostly in defence. Very heavy now(well above 100kg with height of about 1,88m) suffered a serious injury in Champions league last season and had to undergo a surgery. Now I have no idea where he can play next.
RB:
Olafur Stefansson - Icelandic legend showed he's still propably best in the world in passing, but at the age of 39 his physical form isn't that good as in the past. Don't know about the teams which are trying to get him, but in my opinion Hamburg would be ideal destination for him(Carlen is still injured or trying to get back, Lijewski is leaving after next season and isn't in the best relations with the officials).
Cristian Malmagro - ASOBAL's former MVP totally lost time in København and now most of Spanish fans propably don't remember him well. Adding very bad financial situation he will rather stay abroad. Maybe time to try in France as some Spaniards did(Entrerrios or Robledo)?
Kim Andersson - Biggest loser in all the story as he was on of the leaders in THW Kiel, now it's close to play in Swedish Kristianstad as I read. Or maybe Champions League winner would take him back?

Landin is going to Rhein Neckar Lowen, but he played for Silkeborg, not AG. |

and look,i found this,(translated from Croatian to English language). )
After a sensational closing AG Copenhagen, an ambitious Handball Club, raised a big question where stars like Mikkel Hansen, Kasper Hvidt, Joachim Boldsen and pursue other careers.
Some players have already found a new club,but some of them didn't. This morning in the Danish media released information that Mikkel Hansen, Kasper Hvidt, Joachim Boldsen and Lars Jørgensen will compete next season for Kolding IF.
Apparently it is currently negotiating about these options. This possibility came up with a former AG sponsors Copenhagen. In fact, one of them is willing to invest 4 million euros in Kolding IF, if these stars will sign for this club. In return, sponsors are looking for that half of KOLDING IF home games must be played in Brondby, Copenhagen, where the AG played a home games.
In the coming hours / days we expect more information about this new project Handball in Scandinavia.
Kolding IF the last season finished in second place behind the AG Copenhagen, and the famous players for this club are Lars Christiansen, Bo Spelleberg, Lasse Boesen and recently signed for the club and the Croatian veteran Venio Losert.

Oh, I saw this info after writing all. Kolding won't compete in Champions League what mean it would be difficult to build such a team. For Jorgensen or Boldsen that's great offer, but for Hansen? I don't know - he stated he would prefer Champions League team.
Will change the first post when something more would be known(that was some rumours, nothing more). |

| oh okay,glad we discussed this |

OK. Maybe someone knows something more, please tell us.
Hrvoje you wrote Kolding finished 2nd last season - they did it only for regular season. Danish league is finished with play-offs and then Kolding lost semi-final to 3rd after regular season Silkeborg and it's why Landin, Lauge Schmidt and co. are playing in Champions League next season. |

Yes, that's true. He'll replace famous Henning Fritz who suddenly decided to become a coach for lower division team instead of playing in some other 1.Bundesliga team.
Rhein Neckar Lowen will be totally other team that we know, but I don't think they can come back to Champions League 2013/14. It would take longer. |
