German football 2020/21

[Bon Esprit]

Some interesting transfers seem to happen.
Kevin Volland to AS Monaco, Patrick Schick from Roma to Leverkusen. Schalke might sign Ibisevic. and Robin Koch moves from Freiburg to Leeds United.

The Volland deal is done for less than 15m Euros, Schick will cost them around 25m.

 

[Evilo]

11M for Volland.

 

[Bon Esprit]

11M for Volland.

kicker said "less than 15" that fits 11. Ridiculous, since he's actually a pretty good player. A greenkeeper these days is more impensive.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Volland at one point was what Werner is now i.e. the "the next great German striker" hope. But he never really took that next step.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Ibisevic signs with Schalke, he will donate his wages. Cool story.
Nuri Sahin will join Poldi in Turkey. Sidney Sam, too.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Will he make it to Christmas as the manager?

Tuchel said similarly no? I think they may have a point.

Tuchel said similarly no? I think they may have a point.

I don’t even remember, but that wasn’t why his time at the club ended. Tuchel didn’t get along with Watzke. Favre gets along with the hierarchy, but they don’t seem to hold him in high regard. Too many reliable sources have reported they’ve looked for replacements to not think they want him gone. It seems like he’s only in the job because they couldn’t secure a clear improvement on him for this season.

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I said a week or two ago that he’ll make his senior England debut before the end of the year, and I stand by it. I don’t know how Favre is going to be able to keep him out of the side with how good he’s looked in preseason for a player his age. And if you’re starting for BVB, you’re good enough to play for the English National Team.

Some French site states Bayer Leverkusen might be interested in Julian Draxler.
Medienbericht: Draxler ein heißer Kandidat in Leverkusen

Loosing Havertz and replacing him with MF Draxler seems like a good plan. NOT! Wtf are they thinking?

 

[Evilo]

Yeah but Draxler only wants a team challenging for the CL and that can play his salary.

Well, I'm biased, because I dislike that guy with a passion (even more than Özil). Maybe some English or Italian side is dumb enough. I hope Leverkusen are smart enough not to pay.

Draxler a player with inferior winner mentality. Very suitable to Bayer 04.

 

[Evilo]

He's supremely talented.
He just needs a coach that will develop him.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Reus made his return from injury today. Scored a goal. He might be fit to start the Cup match next Monday.

How many guys like him have we witnessed over the last decades?
Draxler will always be a passenger, not a leader. Only idiots spent huge money on passengers.

It's almost been a year he was injured. I hope he can finally stay healthy. If healthy he will be a huge factor for you Borussians.

I kinda agree he's frustrating, but I haven't seen my guys that talented over the last decades. There's not a thing he can't do.
But he's so passive at times. He needs someone to light a fire under his ass. A Conte, Simeone maybe? Someone who won't let him play as if he doesn't care.
Imagine Draxler with the character of Simeone? He'd be a top 3 player.

 

[Evilo]

Just as we're discussion that I saw that Bielsa wants Draxler at Leeds. Player is not receptive however.
That's stupid from him. You should never turn down the opportunity to play for Bielsa.

Well you wanted crazy Simeone... Bielsa is even more loco.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Draxler feels like the kind of guy who he saw his own picture on a billboard too early in his career and decided "I've arrived, the hard part is over."

Kevin Volland to AS Monaco, Patrick Schick from Roma to Leverkusen. Schalke might sign Ibisevic. and Robin Koch moves from Freiburg to Leeds United.

Also the Schick deal happened.
Alles klar: Leverkusen schnappt sich Schick

Crazy cup game going between freshly promoted from the 3rd division Braunschweig and HBSC, who are up against it.

Nuts

Mainz went down 1-0 early and trailed until the 57th minute when they proceeded to score 5 unanswered.
