The Other Teams News & Results Thread Vol. XIII [R]

Marin the definition of stagnation in the EPL? Lol, but at least he can try proving his doubters wrong

Another surprise. Farfan signs a 4 year contract extension with Schalke.

 

Surprise indeed. Then again, bigger clubs became apprehensive after his reputation. Always thought he could become something better but Schalke is the right place for him now.

 

Marin? he hasn't performed in 2 seasons why on earth are chelsea interested in him?

Wow. Many more teams signing bundesliga/german bred players. Pretty interesting.

 

Marin? He's always someone I thought would impress folks later on he looks simply horrible nowadays, gone are his dribbling skills and cutting passes.

 

I would aquire this more to the fact of Bremen's "atmosphere" than to his "losing" his talent.

I have a good feeling he can be able to regain some of his Gladbach form at Chelsea.

 

You don't think the BuLi is a physical league as well?

 

ya I think people really underestiminate the BL in this regard. The BL is the top league with most fouls in average and especially players like Marin are constantly brought down.
It's not like players as David Silva, Mata, Nasri and so on had any problems with the physical side of the PL and they came from leagues which are less physical than the BL.
And on top of this did Marin have some great games against english teams like Tottenham.

 

could have seen Marin in Dortmund taking up Grosskreutz' starting spot if Kagawa leaves. Surprised to see him go to Chelsea. and Poldi will be at Arsenal come next year.
These Brits always hopping on this and that bandwagon.

On that note though expect to see major changes from Werder this summer. Seems like a squad reboot could do them well, as they've been stagnating or regressing for some time. But key players like Wiese and Marin will be hard to replace. Their squad is massive, 34 strong, and it looks a bit as if they need to cull some dead weight.
For instance Borowski's contract will not be extended.

 

The manager and the coach must piss off. These bastards ruined the club. They are not Werder, the fans are.

 

I know you guys have been struggling for quite some time now, but you want Schaaf gone? I still think he's one of the best coaches in the BL. It's no coincidence he's been at Werder for so long.

 

one of the best Bl coaches? Are you kidding me? What about his non-existant defensive coaching? Or his - together with Allofs - absymal track record in signing players in last years? Werder needs fresh blood, but they need it up top first

 

With this kind of thinking, Bremen will never be able to take it to the next level.

New ideas, a new outlook, new philosophy and new blood, starting with the FO is what Bremen needs to meet the glory it has had in the past.

 

This ^^^

 

I feel your pain. Unbelievable how badly they have run down the club. With everybody leaving, does that mean that Pizarro is going to basically be the one who turns off the lights on this current team? He surely won't be signing a new deal

 

Nothing like the premiere league. Also, there is so much emphasis on long balls being played forward and surges of players for the counter attack. Very physically demanding league, though in my opinion it falls short of the standar set by la liga in terms of aesthetics.

 

Kagawa will leave, two seasons and two key players leave BvB, it's a matter of time now guys.

 

the coach has only so many tricks up his sleeve...soon enough they will be saying the same thing they were laughing at us for.

"Everyone has figured us out"

 

well they already have a replacement with Reus who plays at pretty much the same level and Dortmud has plenty of money left to spent, kinda curious to see if they will do another big signing.

 

we struggled to replace sahin as you can see.

and i'm not sure if reus is a good enough replacement for shinji. He only has better stats with a weaker team around him.
