1899 Hoffenheim 08/09 Thread II - 'The village people'

[humin12]

I think what you're doing is admirable with the youth and all. I don't give a shit whether you've got money, at least you're developing football players and not buying ready-made ones. Hoffenheim just makes the BL that much more interesting and I hope they can grow to be something really unique.

Bayern's squad is surprisingly more older than I thought. Losing Ze and getting Gomez should lower the average though. :p

So are most of their fans! :D It's sort of fitting, don't you think? :D

German band Sportfreund Stiller (Bayern supporters) dedicate their new MTV Unplugged album with the first track to Hoffenheim:

I wish more people would see it that way because that's the way it is.

I agree 100% with this. I don't think money is necessarily a bad thing and I don't see them getting on this list of squads that we are hearing from Spain or England making rediculous offers for 1 player to join their squad.

They definitely proved that they will need depth to their team as injurys and suspensions really killed them in the 2nd half of the season.

Oh man ! Ba really wants to leave the club after a phone call with Schindelmeiser ! Hijo de ********. I don't know how much the influence is from his agent (he is doing the same act with a french player under his spell :rolleyes: )...so lets wait what the time will bring. Hoffenheim officals have declared one more time, that they won't sell Demba.

Transfer Bla Bla,

Prince Tagoe to be presented this week
Zuculini deal to be finalized soon

according to my insider, the player is already bought by us, and zucu is expected to be show up to sign the contract in germany.

[Catracho_Azul]

Are you referring to Zuculini? He's a DM.

[berloha]

Are you referring to Zuculini? He's a DM.

he is a dirty little player.

Next one, please,

we are able to control our South america / africa balance: last time Maicosuel this time Prince Tagoe:

http://www.tsg-hoffenheim.de/sturm/dbdateien/news/3137_bild_gross.gif



Tagoe told BBC Sport: "I'm delighted to have joined Hoffenheim, one of the most respected clubs in the world.
"This is a dream come true as it has always been my ambition to play for a top European club.
"Having spoken to the manager of the club, the chief executive, my agents and other people at the club, I am excited about this move."




:D

[MetroChile]

lol! Nice. :D

[berloha]

We are linked to another Brazilian ! :D

I welcome the Hoffenheimer looking for players of Internacional, unfortunatly it is just CB Bolivar.

Mean while Demba Ba still talks bullsh*t, I see it coming we better look out for another striker. While getting Bolivar let's take Taison to Hoffenheim !

[berloha]

It's official Demba Ba has gone mad:

Mit aller Macht drängt Ba auf einen Wechsel: "Ich will Hoffenheim verlassen, beim VfB unterschreiben -und dort Titel gewinnen"

[berloha]

it seems ....being the only talent on this planet earth, zuculini is of course a wanted player. for the first time ever in Bundesliga-history, two german clubs make an offer for an 18 year old talent from argentina. big lol. big rolleyes.

werder bremen made a bit for BOTH zuculini brothers, but was rejected. Hoffenheim offered more.

[Vfbstuttgartfan]

It's official Demba Ba has gone mad:

Yeah, us win a title, that would surely be impossible. Wouldn't happen in our lifetime.

Zuculini will join Hoffenheim according to several Radio stations in Argentina. As South American player - supporter I don't have to say very much how excited and happy I am to see him playing for 1899.



edit: I am happy for the Bundesliga that such a talent finds this way to German football league.
