Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted January 2, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2022 PCR Tests were done today. Results come in tonight or tomorrow morning. Let's see how many of our players got hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted January 3, 2022 Raphael Wolf tested positive. Rest of the tests came back negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted January 3, 2022 So we signed Manfred Stefes as our new assistant coach. He was Lucien Favre's assistant at Mönchengladbach and Dortmund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted January 11, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted January 11, 2022 Big changes! Alexander Jobst will be our new CEO. But most importantly, we finally got rid of Uwe Klein. That guy just oozed incompetence. Klaus Allofs will take over his job as, and will therefore have a bigger influence on our Squad planning etc. Quite exciting!

Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted January 12, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2022 First winter signing. French defender Nicolas Gavory from Standard Liege. He signed a contract until 2025. He looks like Olivier Giroud's long lost brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are general thoughts of Fortuna fans regarding this transfer? Personally, as an observer who doesn't know Fortuna much, it seems like a weird transfer to me. An aging player with a long injury record signing for over 2 years? Looks to me like your management is making the same mistakes like ours did in recent years...

Looks to me like your management is making the same mistakes like ours did in recent years... It's a weird one for sure. We already have Hennings, Kownacki and Bozenik as our strikers. Behind that young and talented Lex-Tyger Lobinger. We actually have quality upfront. We just never manage to get the ball to them. So I surely would have prefered 1-2 creative attacking or central midfielders as that's the area we're lacking the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted January 29, 2022 Now we've signed Jordy de Wijs on loan from QPR. Who needs a midfield anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted January 31, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted January 31, 2022 @Rucksackfranzose Shipnoski extended his contract until 2025, but will be loaned to Jahn Regensburg for 1 1/2 years. Makes sense that he doesn't get a chance with us, but the 8th in the table seems to have a use for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked him at Osnabrück, and I was curious to see how he'll do at HSV. He didn't do THAT badly there, did he? Didn't they sack him when they were 3rd? I still think he's a good coach, and a likable guy. I expected Allofs to bring in some "Schleifer" or a more experienced coach to get us away from the relegation zone though. Thioune sounds more like a long term solution you'd sign at the beginning of a season, or at least in the winter break, where he can offer his input on the squad building etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job #1 should be keeping F95 up, then let him rebuild in the summer. I think he'll do a great job there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma 1,763 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 With Sandhausen winning their game in hand the pressure is on. A new manager bounce would be really helpful right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy 12,608 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Moderator Share Posted February 9, 2022 Looks like Thioune arranged two long training sessions for today. In the morning and in the afternoon. I'm optimistic with his appointment. Preußer was a big unknown, but Thioune already proved that he can do good things, even with a squad that is not that strong like in Osnabrück. And I'd say he was at least pretty decent at Hamburg as they are an uncoachable mess most of the time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players couldn't handle it and management panicked. With Bremen and Schalke coming down the pressure is on them, not Hamburg. Long story short, Thioune deserves another shot at a big club and I'm glad Düsseldorf gave him a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma 1,763 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I just realized that if the season ended today that we'd have a playoff between @Tommy and @Rucksackfranzose for the right to play in 2. Liga. Lecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hennings made enough matches for the option to extend his contract for another season to come into effect. In other words he'll play at Düsseldorf next season unless he'll be sold.
