Moderator Tommy 12,604 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2019 I agree, I just don't see a reason why they'd want to get rid of Funkel. He finally brought stability to the club, and managed to bring us from the relegation battle in the 2. Bundesliga to the Bundesliga, and played a very decent first half of the season. The players like and respect the hell out of him, the supporters love him, he's a local guy from the area who brought a new sense of identity to the club. The only thing I can think of is that Pfannenstiel came in with his "revolutionary" ideas from Hoffenheim, and probably wants to bring a "laptop-coach" like Nagelsmann in.

Faithcore 1,276 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 It's probably something like that, yeah. Funkel should be untouchable for Fortuna. For him, however, this should not be a new situation. Throughout Funkel's career there have always been people who have criticised his idea of playing football. He just lets his teams play the way they can. Funkel was mostly replaced by someone who wanted to play football in a more offensive and attractive way and thus failed, because those teams didn't have the necessary quality and Funkel was just aware of that.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted January 18, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted January 18, 2019 Quote Markus Suttner: Brighton defender joins German club Fortuna Dusseldorf on loan Brighton defender Markus Suttner has joined German club Fortuna Dusseldorf on loan until the end of the season. The 31-year-old Austria full-back has not played a Premier League game for Chris Hughton's side this season. Suttner joined Brighton in July 2017 from German side Ingolstadt for an undisclosed fee, and he played 14 times as they finished 15th in the table. Fortuna Dusseldorf are 14th in the Bundesliga table but beat leaders Borussia Dortmund on 18 December. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46926651 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,604 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2019 I don't know what to expect from him, but if our starting left back Niko Gießelmann stays healthy, Suttner should just be a back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loan deal plus an option to make the move permanent for 7 Mio Euros. Stuttgart and Fulham were interested in him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,604 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted February 24, 2019 Anyone got a goalkeeper they don't need? Wolf has some strange problems that kept and are still keeping him out for most of the season, Rensing has a stomach bug, and now Drobny fractured his hand. Hopefully Rensing will recover in time for Schalke. https://rp-online.de/sport/fussball/fortuna/fortuna-duesseldorf-jaroslav-drobny-bricht-sich-die-hand_aid-36977413?fbclid=IwAR1VKOebyRFwa5HQI-5KJse5SGyD-Lx-pJxbHfmg2VBVH-y2751EyoOBAGQ&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
