So how was Christoph Klarer?
OMG, just saw that I hadn't replied...
I've got to be honest, wasn't his best game ever. Looked quite unsure and left a few holes in the defence.
However, he was brilliant today, the cup game was more a team failure than anything you could put on an individual.

Well the thing is, Hornby's young career, has so far shown him to be very injury prone. However, if he can stay fit, I don't think there is much doubting his talent. Last season, Hornby averaged almost 1 goal every 2 league games for an attack shy team in Oostend, a team that eventually got relegated. Furthermore, among other teams, Hornby scored goals against top league sides Ghent, Club Brugge as well as the eventual champions of the Belgian league, Genk!
Hornby first caught my eye at the 2018 Toulon Tournament in France. Hornby was only 18 at the time, but he lead the line for Scotland excellently at that tournament and he was one of their best players. Hornby scored a couple of goals in the competition and helped Scotland reach the semi-finals, defeating the hosts France along the way. But like I said, Hornby holds the record as the all time leading scorer for the Scottish Under 21 team, with a very impressive 10 goals in 18 international appearances. Hornby also represented the Scotland national team at the under 17 and under 19 level, scoring goals for them as well. So this is a player who has regularly been in the Scottish national team youth set-up for years. So clearly a lot was expected of him and he is still highly rated by many.
As a forward, he looks like he has it all. He is strong in the air, he can score with both feet and he is good at scoring from penalty's and free-kicks! He also has an accurate finish and a deft touch for a big man. Moreover, he is good at holding up the ball and providing assist passes for team-mates. He also has very good technique. Obviously the Bundesliga is a step up from the Belgian league, but he performed very well for struggling Oostend last season and Darmstadt will hope he is able to perform just as well for them in the tough season ahead.
Here is some highlight footage of how he performed last season for Oostend:
I've got to say from the disappointing show yesterday, he was by far the best player. I could see quite a bit of the potential that you've mentioned here! It can only get better from here on out anyway so will be interesting to see how the whole team develops around him as well.
I feel like Darmstadt has that familial environment that could help him tap his potential, once we are somewhat settled.

I'm sorry for letting you down @Rucksackfranzose

I'm still actually disgusted with our performance.

I'll stick with Wimbledon

That's promising! There's been a lot of doubt among the fans as he's unproven but that sounds just like the guy we need in our attack. Hopefully once he gets used to his new surroundings he can live up to his potential!

I don't know, I don't feel like it considering you're trying to sign Christoph Klarer from us.
Been there, lost Pfeiffer to Augsburg, at least you'll get compensated!
