Moderator Tommy 12,385 Posted March 6, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 6, 2017 Düsseldorfer Turn- und Sportverein Fortuna 1895 e.V. [fɔɐ̯ˈtʰuːna ˈdʏsl̩ˌdɔɐ̯f] ( listen) is a German association football club based in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia. The club currently plays in the 2. Bundesliga, the second tier of the German football league system. Founded in 1895, it entered the league in 1913 and were a fixture in top-flight play from the early 1920s up to the foundation of the nationwide Bundesliga in 1963 in which they participated in 23 seasons between 1966 and 2013. All discussion relating to Düsseldorf that does not warrant its own thread (i.e. - players signing new contracts, newspaper clippings etc...) should take place here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time will be Monday against Braunschweig Only takes me 20 minutes to get there, so it's quite handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,385 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Moderator Share Posted April 20, 2017 Was at the training ground today. Everything looked good. Shame it doesn't look the same when there's an actual opponent on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,243 Posted June 12, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted June 12, 2017 Fortuna have just signed Raphael Wolf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,385 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Moderator Share Posted June 12, 2017 Sounds like a good deal. Michael Rensing is a good goalkeeper, but he has his shaky moments. It's a shame that Unnerstall never got the chance to prove himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,243 Posted June 12, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted June 12, 2017 Do you think he'll beat Rensing for the No. 1 spot? The way I see it, it's a good deal for Fortuna as they're getting a decent, experienced goalie on a free transfer, not a great one for Wolf who might find himself sitting on the bench yet again...

I doubt it. Funkel usually sticks with his favourite men, unfortunately. Even if they're 40 years old and need a wheeled walker. But we'll see.

Let's hope he's blessed with the same amount of talent. All in all, what a summer for Fortuna. Three signings, one of them a (probable) back-up goalie, no main-sponsor, no manager (director of sports) and training starts in a few days. Things are already looking like 3.

Well, that's the plan but I remain pessimistic Not a bad signing though. Hennings was very inconsistent last season, so it's good to have another option.

Fortuna actually has a decent squad depth now. One more midfielder and we should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
