Shame for Ibisevic, he was on to something big. I doubt he will ever come back to the form he had...
If they get a player like that then I'd be disappointed for the very first time with Hoffenheim's transfer's.
...and that after all of 2 months of supporting them... :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: Dude, You don't know nothing about me. So better stop writing things like that.
Do you support or agree with every decision of your club ?

You missed his point, his point was not that you should agree with all your clubs decisions, but rather that it was ironic that you wrote 'First time I would ever disagree' with one of Hoffenheim's transfers when in reality 'first time ever' doesn't mean much in this case since you've only been supporting them for a matter of months.

Lol.
Scary, the fact, what people do with their time and wonder....
I don't need to be a long time supporter to be critical with certain things of the club.

I would agree with that last sentence. I was just underlining what Doc's point was.

And do you know guys like Gekas or Almeida?

I agree Doc. I think this was just a one-year thing.
I do believe Ibisevic is a pretty darned good striker (I wanted BVB to sign him from Aachen), but I don't see him doing this again.

Yes, i decided to become a sucess, sunny side of life fan. :cool:
Nah, serious, a colleague of mine (Spanish) supports Real Madrid
so i had to choose the counterpart, just for funny discussing at lunch. ;)
But she doesn´t want to speak about Real and Barca with me since
about a few weeks. I don´t know why?! :D
Furthermore i like how they play, i only watch
the league matches regularly and chear a bit for them.
But it´s only entertaiment, not comparable with Werder.

Yes, more than I could ask for. Gekas and Almeida are so not Hoffenheim potential, and I hope that the officals don't make it true to get one of those players. :p

I would think anyone who could put the ball in the f#cking net would be "Hoffenheim Potential."
The way you're talking, Ibisevic wouldn't be "Hoffenheim Potential" either. He was "lower" than these other two guys when Hoffenheim picked him up.
Guys, as far as I'm concerned this guy is no true Hoffenheim fan. I know a few of those.
That statement he made was pure Bayern fan styled arrogance.
But I guess the smiley made it all OK......

Is there any difference between Hoffenheim and Bayern fans? ;)
I mean, berloha is both, isn't he?

Good one man! LOL!!
However, on a serious note, I really don't know any Hoffenheim fans who have been arrogant just yet.
I've got tons of friends in that area, mostly in Heidelberg.
Right now, they are mostly giddy, but still in a bit of shock.

Surprise Bundesliga leaders Hoffenheim have reportedly failed in an attempt to recruit Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner in the January transfer window.
Hoffenheim have seen the league’s top scorer, Vedad Ibisevic, struck down with a cruciate knee ligament injury and in an effort to replace the 18-goal striker had turned their attentions to Bendtner.
But the young Denmark international has scored in his last two Premier League appearances and his father and agent, Thomas Bendtner, claims a move away from North London is not on the agenda.
“Hoffenheim have shown interest, there are some clubs who call and ask in the transfer window,” Bendtner senior told Ekstra Bladet.
“We are pleased that there is interest in him.
“But leaving is not in our thoughts at the moment. Nicklas will be at Arsenal.”
Hoffenheim manager Ralf Rangnick has admitted he did have a conversation with Arsene Wenger but refused to confirm his interest in the Gunners striker.
“I had a conversation with Wenger when we talked about players in general, without wanting to deal with the name Bendtner,” said Rangnick.
Bendtner’s input has not been universally appreciated by Arsenal fans this season but his late goals in the past two Premier League games against Bolton and Hull could prove crucial in the club’s league ambitions.
Meanwhile, The Gunners have confirmed that young defender Paul Rodgers has been loaned to Northampton Town for one month.

It's okay.
Eduardo will face a 2 game ban after the fight with Olic. Thanks DFB. :rolleyes: Obasi will be out for the first game against Cottbus.
Meanwhile the NY Times can't get enough of Hoffenheim,

What does the title mean?
That everyone else who supports other teams are irrational?

I think it's taking a shot at Man City, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and possibly Man Utd. The clubs that throw irrational money at players.
The WSJ is a conservative business paper, and it obviously loves a club like Hoffenheim because of the way it is built - conservatively. They define that as rational, and would define those other clubs as irrational.
