Sargent the only striker now, Woltemade maybe an option although Kohfeldt seems to have decided to play him in midfield, Dinkci might be included in the squad. I kind of look forward to this. Sargent as the only striker I mean. I think everyone seems to be waiting for him to be a true, main striker. This is the first time and a chance to see what he can really do. Kind of a shit or get off the pot situation. 1 Quote

I agree, especially considering that developing young players is supposed to be our long-term strategy, it makes even more sense. Wouldn't mind Sargent as the only striker with Rashica and Chong on the wings, Bittencourt as a #10, and Eggestein with Mbom in central midfield, but that's probably too much harakiri against Frankfurt...

Devil-Dick Willie Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 7 hours ago, nudge said: Christian Groß has extended his contract Bleh Quote
nudge Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 1 minute ago, Devil-Dick Willie said: Bleh What's so bleh about it? He doesn't even have a professional contract, so the cost is extremely low, and while nothing spectacular, he's a cheap solid backup option to have for both CB and especially DM. Reliable when needed, good work rate, calm on the ball, decent passing, wins most of the challenges he goes into. If we suddenly come across a money tree next season and sign a proper defensive midfielder, Groß will be an emergency backup or will go back to U23. But if our financial woes continue or get worse, we'll be glad to have someone who's not on crazy wages and still can play at a decent level... Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 The low price reflects how fucking awful he is I guess, so we're paying a good rate. Quote

Fucking awful Quite an overexaggeration, no? He made his Bundesliga debut at 31 when the club was in a dire position with all the injuries and relegation threat, did a better job than what was expected from him, performing better than the so-called regulars at times, and still continues to do the same this season. Absolutely deserved contract extension, not sure why such an outrage. It's not as if he's taking the spot of someone else in the squad. Guess it's time for you to accept the new reality of where we are as a club. Quote

nudge Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Toprak picked up yet another injury during today's friendly against St. Pauli We should sue BVB for tricking us into buying a cripple for 5 million. 1 Quote
Rebel Yelle Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Rashica is now out to the end of January which is a huge blow both on the field and off. Hard to imagine we will be able to sell him for anything near his value now. Quote

Probably best we sell him in the summer, as you said, no chance we're going to get a respectable amount for an injured player. Quote
Rebel Yelle Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Great to see Jojo score against Tottenham even if Hart probably should have stopped it. Is there any clause to bring him back in January? Would either party be interested? Quote

There's no option to recall him, as much as I'm aware. His loan finishes in summer... 1 Quote

Nex minute Sahin was at Bremen, Delaney was at Dortmund and everyone knows Dortmund were looking at Juno. I'd say Ozil just sneaks it over Juno for me. Maybe even Frings too. But far out that lad had heart and talent to burn. 1 Quote
nudge Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 For me it's probably like this: Defensive/central midfield - Frings>Eilts>Baumann>Junuzovic Offensive midfield - Micoud>Diego>Herzog>Özil 1 1 Quote

nudge Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Jojo Eggestein just scored another 3 goals, in the first half of LASK's cup match this time. That's 12 goals in 15 matches so far - 6 in the league, 4 in the cup, 2 in the EL. Quote
