Yeah, I'm looking forward to your review of We, The Drowned once you finish it! We do have similar taste in books, it seems

Starting this massive book after work tonight - a 1000+ pages long historical survey of oceanic exploration, migration, and trading.

Don't care for Marvel but quite looking forward to this...

I've been using induction for a few years now as well. I quite like it, and it's great in many aspects, but it also has a few significant shortcomings for me. Not being able to use all cookware, especially a proper wok (not the flat-bottomed ones), not able to char/roast stuff directly over the flame, and I also hate touch controls. Gas is simple, versatile, better temperature control, also works when there's power outtage.

Gas stove is way superior when it comes to cooking though.

You monster.

He's lucky, Thai police and military usually don't fuck around...

Hard to tell, Pavlenka is a better shot stopper and better in 1 on 1 situations, but Zetterer is a much better ball-playing goalkeeper with better technical skills. Either way, it's good to have options and a healthy competition... I'd stick with Zetterer for now.

GK: Zetterer, Pavlenka, Plogmann RB: Weiser, Agu, (Mbom) CB: Toprak, Veljkovic, Friedl, Jung, Mai LB: Jung, Agu, (Friedl) DM: Groß, Rapp, Gruev, (Mbom) CM/OM: Schmidt, Schmid, Rapp, Bittencourt, (Woltemade), (Mbom) RW: Assalé, Dinkci, Weiser, (Schönfelder) LW: Bittencourt, Schmid, Assalé, Nankishi CF: Ducksch, Füllkrug, Dinkci Looks pretty good to me...

Done deal! Think it's been quite a good transfer phase; with Ducksch, Assalé and now Weiser we got three very solid, experienced players with enough individual quality, plus Rapp and Jung who are both reliable players as well. Mai transfer seems a bit unneccessary now that neither Friedl, nor Veljkovic or Toprak are leaving, but it's good to have decent backup in case anyone gets injured or suspended. I hoped for a proper DM as well, but once we missed out on Aursnes, it appears there was no suitable and affordable options. Trust Groß to get the job done in the 2. Liga though, and also happy if this means Gruev will get some playing time in order to develop further.

So we're trying to sign Mitchell Weiser! Hopefully it works out, would be a quality player for 2. Liga.

Legend Austrian dialect also makes it a thousand times better

Plot twist: Frankfurt is Werder and Kostic is Friedl, just in another dimension. Brought to you by M. Night Shyamalan.

And another transfer.

I think he's absolutely awful as a leftback, but he's become a pretty solid central defender, imo. However, I don't want any player who doesn't want to be here, and now I don't trust him to give his 100% every match at all. Hope we sell him in winter or next summer at least; his market value is still the highest one in the squad and we should take advantage of that.

Haha, good for the club to show that they will not give in to any player's attempts to force a transfer. I do wonder if he'll play at all, though. The fans are furious and don't want to see him in a Werder shirt ever again. Will be hard to get their respect back, if that's even possible.

What a beautiful dog!

We're back Maybe we played a blinder because you weren't watching

So Baumann confirmed the reports about Friedl, said he'll get a heavy fine and will not be sold as long as our requirements aren't met.

Yeah, one would expect you to be above it now considering that you've levelled up!

Well that took a weird turn... I think this thread brings the worst out of people

Did he play regularly that season and perform as normal? I'm always wary of the disruptive nature of things like that and the potential of unrest in the squad.
