BVB General Transfer Thread III [R]

Agreed. But I would think those are usually the best players. I don't recall the players exactly, but in the last few years I recall a club being relegated and was surprised at the number and quality of the players who stuck with the club. Was it BMG or FCN or Koeln or someone in the last 5 years who did that.

We may see exactly this in action if HSV don't start pulling it out soon.

 

It happened with juventus didn't it? Well for buffon and del piero anyway.

 

Gundogan will be earning 4m per year instead of 2.5m he was making before the new contract. Heard this on a BVB fan site - can someone confirm?

 

Wow, if true that's confidence he'll come back 100%.

 

If footyfan is right in saying that inurance covers most of his salary while injured...would still you say the same?

 

At any normal workplace, workers compensation benefits usually equal at least 60% of your salary; this assessment is correct. Regardless of who covers his sick leave though, if this quote is correct, it does point to the fact that BVB expect him to make his recovery and regain form, with extra salary an incentive to get him back up to speed. Sounds very promising, hope Reus and Hummels get their significant raises too.

 

When you get sick in Germany the employer continues to pay your full salary for another 6 weeks, afterwards the insurance company covers up to € 8k a month (give or take). That was also the reason why Breno got into financial trouble after his two severe long-term knee injuries. He couldn't handle his expenses at 8k /month.

As as long as Gündogan doesn't make a comeback, there's no reason for BVB to complain about his increased wages. After all they haven't been paying him since October anyway and as soon as he makes his comeback he's easily worth that amount.

 

Well, I can only speak from my experience and what I know from following 1860 all these years. We had several players on our rosters from 2003-1010 who had long-term injuries (several never came back: Schroth, Agostino, Cerny, Schwarz, etc.) who never came back. The club was out some money for them...as I recall it was a percentage of their salary but I don't recall how much.

I am not sure, but I don't think insurance pays for a salary increase given to an injured player, but I don't know for certain. To be honest, I don't think I have ever heard of a club giving a player with a long-term injury a pay raise and a new contract.

 

didnt know football existed in 1010 .. must be a 1860 thing.

 

Course it did!! Of course, we were in the second division then too.

 

But, but...the city of München was founded in 1158...

 

Naw, we were part of the original settlement in 1009 that built a fussballpark along the Isar. 900 years later Bayern built theirs. The rest is history.

 

Klopp said Gundogan can even be fit for the World Cup and Bild says he will start training again on Monday.

That gives us hope he will at least be back for the next season from the very beginning.

 

If he completes the preseason without any problems, he could be... I'm glad to hear these good news.

 

This.

Not the first time we heard talk like this only to be followed by absolutely no sign of Gündogan's return at all.

 

i thought he was ruled out from the world cup? i really hope a speedy recovery for him. what a guy.

 

Löw would be mental to take two CM's to Brazil who haven't played a single minute of football in 2014. At most it's Khedira or Gündogan.

 

Take neither Sami nor Ilkay please. Durm and KG must make it into the squad I think.

 

Funny transfer rumour I heard.

Liverpool wants Schmelzer...

Thoughts?

 

Don't they have English talent on the LB position?
