Well, obviously you'd move Bittencourt on the wing and then slide Osako in the middle. If that does smell like European Qualification, I don't know what does. 1 Quote

If that does smell like European Qualification, I don't know what does. Bittencourt actually played on the wing last match, with Mbom, Eggestein and Klaassen in midfield, and I hope that's how it stays. Rashica should be fit for Arminia, though. Quote

Depends on the formation, don't think Rashica will start anyway. But if/when we play with two wingers, then a fit Rashica will definitely be one of them, and the rest including Bittencourt will fight for the other spot. Quote
Eco Posted October 2, 2020 Author Posted October 2, 2020 Quote Werder Bremen reject opening offer for Davy Klaassen Werder Bremen have rejected an opening offer from Ajax for 27-year-old Dutch midfielder Davy Klaassen, according to Bild. The Eredivisie club are preparing a second offer for their former player, whom has officially handed in a transfer request at Werder Bremen, who are willing to allow Klaassen to leave, to cover the transfers of Leonardo Bittencourt and Ömer Toprak. Ajax offered an initial €7m plus a further €5m in future incentives and whilst a second offer is unlikely to increase in fee, the Dutch side will pay a higher base price for the Dutchman. Quote

No agreement yet, but Klaassen is unlikely to stay. This weekend's game against Arminia might as well be his last one for the club. Quote

Although I saw a rumour on twitter that Stoeger would be brought in as a replacement which would be a nice pickup. 1 Quote

Although I saw a rumour on twitter that Stoeger would be brought in as a replacement which would be a nice pickup. Yes, in my opinion, losing Klaassen would be by far worse than losing Rashica. As you said, our midfield is already way too weak as it is, and I'm really not looking forward to watching a midfield consisting of Möhwald, Eggestein and Osako every weekend... Stöger on a free would be a decent signing, but still feels like loss of quality. Hopefully Klaassen leaving would at least mean more playing time for the likes of Mbom and Schmid. Quote
Rebel Yelle Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 You have to think Mbom has at least earned a couple starts now with his performance from last week. You writing out the midfield options somehow makes it look even worse. Quote
nudge Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Details emerging now, we have reportedly accepted Ajax's offer of 11 million + 3 million in bonuses. Klaassen has been given permission to travel to Amsterdam to finalise contract details. Quote
nudge Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Also news about Rashica, apparently both Leverkusen and Wolfsburg have shown interest, and it's likely he will leave too. Quote
nudge Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 From the people with generally reliable inside information: 3 players to leave (Klaassen, Rashica and Jojo Eggestein), 2 new ones to come before the transfer window closes - one of those is reportedly Bentaleb, no info on the second player. Quote
Rebel Yelle Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Yikes, there seems like they have no plan for the window. Baumann appears to be just reacting with no thought. Quote

We badly need money. The club already applied for a KfW credit a while ago to relieve the financial burden after we lost 30 million Euro income due to corona, the credit hasn't been approved yet so we need to look for other ways to be able to generate money in the worst case scenario... We'll see whom Baumann manages to sign tomorrow, in case both Klaassen and Rashica leave. Hard to attract quality with limited financial resources. 1 Quote
Eco Posted October 4, 2020 Author Posted October 4, 2020 Sad times indeed for Bremen, which really makes the results yesterday and against Schalke massive. Rashica is good, but Bremen have looked good without him. The goal should be survival and hopefully this coronavirus contained and more fans back into the stadiums, and thus more revenue for clubs.

Ah, I knew about the credit but didn't realize it had not been approved yet. That makes more sense. Quote
nudge Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Harnik's contract has been terminated by mutual agreement. Rashica apparently going to Aston Villa. Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Ummmm. If we lose Milot and Jojo we will have 1 winger in the squad??? And a loanee at that Fuck my life. Quote
