VfB Stuttgart 07/08 Thread [R]

I maintain that Tomasson was a good striker. He didn't have the best of seasons last year, but it was also silly that he got practically no chance to show what he could do this past season. I personally think it's a shame we never got to see a proper Gomez-Tomasson partnership. But oh well, it's clear he was never going to play for VfB again so i'm just glad Villareal is willing to buy him, and then we don't have to worry about him anymore and both sides can go their own way. I'd still wish him the best of luck in the future, which is more than what i can say for Ljuboja.

...who will probably go to Roter Stern Belgrad...that would be great...

Compare with footy and vfbstuttgartfan,
Tomasson is a good striker,
he just didn´t fit to Stuttgart.

According to transfermarkt you get
a transfer fee of about 2 million € from Villareal
and save the annual salary of 4 million €.
This should help at the Tomasson and Marica deals.

It's official!!!
Tomasson was bought by Villareal and Stuttgart will become at least 1,5 Mio € and will save Tomasson's salary, which could be around 1,5 Million € / year.

Nice news

He finally left, another Danish bust out. Good call for both parts. And I really doubt Stuttgart were paying him 4 million euro in salary per year. Mauwie's 1,5 sounds more accurate.

There are sources, that he earned 4 milions € before taxes.
He came from Milan and had a good name, when the contract was made.
Those transfers aren´t cheap, Toni earns 5 million € at Bayern, Frings at Bremen a bit less,
Bastürk at Stuttgart 3 million € (all numbers before taxes).
Such players cost high salaries, because they are interesting
for several clubs.

Anyways, it´s a relief and a chance for Stuttgart
to invest some money in new players.

I still think paying Yildray Basturk 3M per season is a f#cking bad joke......

Disagree. Maybe I'm just not down with the guy, but I don't see any way in holy hell that guy is worth 3M per season. Fit or not.

I don't see it at all. Especially at a club like Stuttgart that doesn't usually pay big salaries.

And this guy's salary will be problem if they don't make the CL again after this season.....

Wait, are you saying a Swabian team is cheap!?

How dare you!

If I were, in this case, I would have suggested they stay "cheap!" LOL!!

I also have to strike something I said in my Basturk response to Hendrik. I have to be "down with the guy", because I wanted him in Dortmund at one point.

But not at 3M per. I'm sure that's why BVB didn't pursue him for long.

I do like the guy, but again, not for freakin' 3M per. I just don't think he's worth that.

For VfB's sake, I hope I'm wrong.

Hello,

our teams are never cheap! They are worth the price or not. Working with cheap things is not the swabians way.

Let's face it. If you are playing Champions League you have to get used to this numbers.
And I do think he will fit into our team

Ciao Hans

Of course ask anyone who knows me, I happen to love the German Southwest, and would gladly relocate there for the rest of my military career.

Sadly, that's not the way it works...

Perhaps "cheap" is the wrong word, but I will say, I've witnessed friends walk nearly a km to avoid a 2-3 euro parking fee....lol.....I guess the parking spot wasn't "worth the price"....

I don't know how many VfB fans over in Germany know it, but Pardo and Osario on VfB has really energized the large Mexican population here in the States.

There is a dual Spanish/English language channel called "GolTV" here in the States, and they have had the Stuttgart/Cottbus championship clinching match on pretty much endless repeat for the last few months. It's on at least once per week. GolTV has the exclusive Bundesliga license here, and has made it a point since the signings of Pardo and Osario to show EVERY Stuttgart match....they then usually follow it up with whatever the next best matchup of the week is....So, lots of Bremen, Munich and a few Hamburg matches too....GolTV used to be the "All Bayern" network, now it's the "All VfB" network, and that couldn't make me happier....

Dude, "getting used to those numbers" is what got Dortmund in the financial situation we are in today.

It also helped get you guys in your pre-Magath financial situation too.

Overpaying for guys who weren't nearly worth what they got.

And read all the comments Hans. No one said he wouldn't fit into the team. He will help the team, but I don't think enough to justify 3M per season.

These are just opinions. No need to get offended.

That's what it seems you were just then.....

In the news:

We played Hoffenheim in a friendly match the other day.

Final score:

VfB 2 (Cacau, da Silva)
Hoffenheim 0

VfB Stuttgart: Schäfer - Beck, Meißner, Gledson, Boka - Gentner, Bastürk (46. Pischorn), da Silva - Hilbert (70. Mandjeck), Cacau (46. Fischer), Farnerud (70. Magnin)


Nothing incredible, but still a solid win i guess.

In some very bad news, Delpierre will need to be operated and probably is out until the end of August, meaning he'll miss the start of the season

Still no word on the strikers...

Also on the VfB page today: Mario Carevic will leave the club. The contract has been dissolved and he'll probably go to Belgium.

Another problem solved

Veeery nice

But not only Delpierre is hurt, Bastürk has to stop training also for 2-3 Weeks...and so it begins with Bastürk

Yes, bad news about Basturk as well but i hope he returns in time for the Schalke match!

Anyway guys, i'll be away in Hungary for the next 5 weeks or so (i hate to miss the Ligapokal and season-opening game ) so i won't be posting all the time, but i'll try and pop in a few times a week atleast.

Have fun

:chuckles:

take care !

It's official, Ewerthon is our new scorer!

In this article, Heldt means, that everything is through an he'll play next season for Stuttgart!

Nice news...

Stuttgart prepare to bid for Joseph Yobo

Thats.....interesting (as in bollocks )

And score he will. He'll also hit plenty of posts and crossbars. Just ignore those. He'll get you guys between 15-20 goals easily.
