German Football Part III

[Savant]

Sky reports RB Leipzig and Ralf Hasenhüttl part ways today or tomorrow. WOW!

Jesse Marsch taking over?

 

[Albatros]

Marco Rose more likely, Marsch has never played or coached in Europe.

Tim Wiese in trouble after parking his Lamborghini in a place reserved for people with disabilities and fighting with a 91-year-old about it:

Lamborghini auf Behindertenparkplatz: Polizei ermittelt gegen Tim Wiese nach Streit mit 91-Jährigem

It's not the first time. In December he had trouble with his Lambo in Hamburg, too.

Wonder where Hasenhüttl will end up. As disappointing - and predictably so - as this year was for him and Leipzig, he was one of the best coaches in the Bundesliga the two years before. Hope he gets a nice job next, but it might be tough to find a job that isn't a step back for him - a step back which he doesn't deserve.

Sandro Wagner announces his retirement from the German NT.

LOL, yeah Sandro we gonna miss you and all. Thanks for your services.

Stürmer Sandro Wagner möchte nie wieder für DFB-Elf spielen

 

[Evilo]

He can't. It's not legal.

I dunno about that, his inability to organize them in possession is not a new development.

Favre vetoes the Lichtsteiner signing before he is even annouced to be the next coach. Right or wrong, this will be fun with Watzke/Zorc and Favre.

Kein Vertrag für Lichtsteiner beim BVB

OK I'm fully on board with Favre never mind.

God damn is this offseason going to be a let down if Eberl gets all this done but doesn't replace Hecking...

Onyekuru - Stindl - Raffael - Hazard
Kramer - Zakaria
Cucurella - Veste - Ginter - Elvedi
Sommer

Brewster, Traore, Bennetts, Cuisance, Benes, Neuhaus, Johnson, Hoffman, Doucoure, Jantschke​

Too bad that Wolfsburg will likely win the playoff. I was hoping they'd lose, and Brooks would move to a better team. I didn't like how he moved from Hertha Berlin in the first place. Wolfsburg is just like one of these lower table Premier League teams that spends big amounts of money on players, but can't get all their players to play at the level their caliber would indicate.

Except none of those English clubs were 2nd in their league 3 seasons ago. But yeah.

 

[Albatros]

The current format is rigged anyway, it is near impossible for a second league team to win. Promotion playoffs like in England would be much fairer.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Do we want Morata or Batshuayi? I can't decide. I think Morata is better than his Chelsea stint and has higher potential than Batshuayi.

Marco Rose more likely, Marsch has never played or coached in Europe.

Probably for now but there is a reason he has spent so much time getting a UEFA coaching badge. It is funny that while he is a very good coach he really has yet to win anything in his career and has always failed with the money on the line.

 

[Albatros]

I can't see anyone in the Bundesliga hiring him directly from the MLS though, he'd have to get the Salzburg job first somehow. More likely he'll end up somewhere in Britain and stay there.

When asked by journalists how much Bayern is up to spend on new players, Rummenigge said; There is no limit.
Opposite to the remarks in the past Bayern now seem to want to play with the big boys (moneywise, of course).
It is also reported Bayern made an offer for Leverkusen's Bailey (60m, Lev wants more)

Supposedly Hradecky is announcing he is leaving tomorrow to a Bundesliga team in the Champions League.

Please no

Oh wait just saw the Hitz news. That's good. Surely Dortmund can't sign two keepers this summer.

It’s Leverkusen

It’s Leverkusen

Leverkusen isn't in CL though.

According to Paul Joyce

Liverpool have cancelled the pre-season friendly with Borussia Mönchengladbach (Anfield, August 7) over the German club’s interest in Rhian Brewster. Club officials have also written to Mönchengladbach warning them over their conduct in pursuing teenager.

Its a shame really. The two clubs have always had a good, friendly relationship

LFC throwing a hissy fit about it is pretty funny
