Subscriber nudge+ Posted August 4, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 4, 2021 1 minute ago, Eco said: Yeah - if you are solely looking at playing time, it makes sense. But going to a lower table team in Belgium over one of the favorites for the league is just a odd, especially when I don't know him to have any times to Belgium. I mean, yeah, he doesn't want to sit on the bench again, and the manager said he can't guarantee him playing time here - so what is he supposed to do? He heard the same from Kohfeldt, Nouri, Skripnik, Dutt, and now Anfang; no wonder he doesn't see any future for him at Bremen. Don't think there many interested clubs from top leagues, either.

Yeah - well I hope it works out for him. Hopefully with the additional playing him he'll be able to flourish and head back to Germany.

Subscriber nudge+ Posted August 5, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 5, 2021 Just now, Tommy said: Context is important... Im Januar 2020 habe er sich “bewusst für den Wechsel zu Werder entschieden, und ich würde es aus der Situation von damals heraus wieder so machen”, erklärte der Stürmer in der Sport Bild. Selke gibt zu: “Aber im Nachhinein ist man immer schlauer. Mit dem Wissen von heute muss ich sagen: Ich würde den Schritt nicht noch einmal gehen.” “Ich hatte nie wirklich das Gefühl, dass ich der richtige Spielertyp für die Philosophie bin”, sagte Selke: “Ich war mit der Situation unglücklich, konnte dadurch nicht so viel Energie liefern. Umso unzufriedener wurde ich auch mit mir selbst.” So, as everyone knew for a long time now - it was a wrong transfer for both sides and in hindsight, neither the club nor Selke would do it again. We needed a different type of striker, he didn't fit into the system and failed to perform. Hope he can revive his career at Hertha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ Posted August 5, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 5, 2021 And now it's official So many hopes, so sad it didn't work out. Hope he does well in Belgium and improves his game. In other news, Yuya Osako is reportedly set to go back to Japan and join Vissel Kobe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted August 5, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 5, 2021 Oh and Sargent is reportedly in advanced talks with Norwich City, would be allowed to leave for 10 million. If all these transfers go through in the next few days, it means we're left with Füllkrug as our only striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I'd happily see the back of Osako, I'm sad Jojo is gone, he was ready to take the league by storm IMO, very surprised he "had no future" here. Would happily see the back of Sargant, for the right compensation. I just don't see a particularly good player in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would happily see the back of Sargant, for the right compensation. I just don't see a particularly good player in there. I just worry about the quality of the replacements. I'm not a fan of Osako at all, but he surely had enough individual quality for the 2. Liga. Sargent is decent, has quite a few shortcomings but works hard and is still very young, so I still see a future potential in him, and I reckon he'd score about 15 goals if he stayed. If all of them leave, we're left with always-injured or out of shape Füllkrug. The only name that has been linked with us so far has been Simon Zoller hardly a huge improvement, and already 30 years old. I don't like the look of things.

If true, then it's pretty cool, considering that Rashica is already there, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Just saw they are back in the EPL after winning the league. Just shows how little I watch English football. Will suck for them to experience back-to-back relegations. Norwich is a yo-yo club if there is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ Posted August 6, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 6, 2021 11m transfer fee + 3m in bonuses for Sargent, reportedly - similar to Rashica's deal. Not bad, especially in our current situation; hope there's a sell on clause included as well. Osako's transfer almost done, then we probably can expect Kapino, Friedl, Augustinsson, Eggestein, Veljkovic to be sold, too. Baumann said he expects to announce some new signings next week. As it stands now, still a lot of areas that need strengthening badly. DM (Aursnes?), two wingers, at least one striker, a RB. A lot of work to be done.

Junuzovic cost dirt. Surely there is talent to be pilfered from Sweden and Austria? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
