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

[berloha]

Zucu still has problems with his back. There are people saying he was also sold because the pain (lumbar region) is getting worse and worse. :suspect:

Subotic?

EDIT!!

I see that Rangnick meant before last season.

I can tell you that most of us figured Subotic would follow Klopp to BVB.


But this might be why he cost so much. However, I still don't believe it as something like this would have come out before.

As I said previously, I think Rangnick has a great imagination......

["Eisenfuß" Eilts]

Rangnick is an arrogant prick. He always has been one and that´s why
he got fired at other clubs despite having sucess.

What pisses me off at Hoffenheim is, that some officials, especially the coach
disses other clubs like in that interview.

Yeah, he is a liar. :rolleyes: He has mentioned it before, that the player gave his word to him but then came his agent up, and Dortmund. Even Subotic answered about the Hoffenheim / Rangnick fiasco:

Herr Subotic, sie hatten im Sommer ein Angebot aus Hoffenheim. Trainer Ralf Rangnick behauptet nach wie vor, Sie hätten ihm „unmissverständlich ein Ehrenwort gegeben“, 1899 zu verstärken. Hat das Geld den Ausschlag für Dortmund gegeben?
Subotic: Nein, echt nicht! Am Ende des Tages war es ein Anruf von Jürgen Klopp. Er war mein Trainer in Mainz, hat dort auf mich gesetzt. Ich habe eine Nacht über das Angebot des BVB geschlafen und war mir dann sicher: Wenn ich den Schritt in die erste Liga wage, dann idealerweise mit der Rückendeckung eines Mannes, den ich ganz genau kenne.

Können Sie verstehen, dass Rangnick sauer war?
Subotic: Na klar! Aber nach der erfolgreichen Hinrunde, die Hoffenheim gespielt hat, dürfte sich der Ärger irgendwann gelegt haben. Ich fand’s auch schade, dass das Thema in der Öffentlichkeit so breit getreten wurde.

I said "I think". Which means "I don't know, but I believe......"

I was wrong.

Certainly not the first time and certainly won't be the last.

But then again, I guess I would be more upset if I thought I was never wrong like some people around here. :rolleyes:

Oh, and BTW, thank you for correcting me.

[berloha]

Ah, calm down and go hope for San*go. :D

Hell no. Finally learned my lesson about that guy.

Although, he did look pretty good tonight..... LOL!! :D

[berloha]

That Lewandowski guy was linked to Dortmund. Also to us, media says.

We'll we don't need him. :cool:

And BVB might not be willing to pay Lech Posen's price.

Our clubs are trying to go on the same path with signing the young players and trying to "grow" them ourselves.

But unlike you guys, we haven't been that good at it in the past.

Hoffenheim ready to start against Fener, right now

First live match this new season for me.

[berloha]

2-1 win against Fener. The youngsters Terrazzino and Gros scored. Gros goal was great. :D

Maicosuel impressed me. Great skills, very,very fast.

Obasi in the middle, :D


Next game against Getafe.

[Kirsten19]

Talked to Cenk Tosun earlier

He said Terrazzino is one of the better striker prospects in Germany. But he doesn;t score much, and not a good finisher

Is Ragnick planning to play him at AM/RW in the future?

Is Ragnick planning to play him at AM/RW in the future?

Well, he is still so young, and already got his minutes. So far he played more the striker role.

Right winger competitions is as tough as the attacking midfielder...

Cenk Tosun, what does he play ?

He plays for Frankfurt, Terrazzino, Alessandro Riedle n Felix Kroos' U18 teammate. Top scorer currently for the U18 side

Thanks. So he basically wanted to say, that he is better than anyone but Terrazzino is his closest enemy ?

[Kirsten19]

He didn't say himself.

But he listed Sukut-PAsu, Choupo-Moting, Thomas Mueller and Terrazzino as our best striker prospect in the country.

But i agree, Terrazzino doesn't have the killer instinct a clinical finisher required. Thats something u cannot be trained. Choupo has the same problem too.

Thats why i rated M.Fischer so high, and he is still 19, shouldn't write him off yet though he is clearly struggling. His first touch, off-the-ball, positioning and finishing make him a standout prospect up front in my opinion.

Thomas Muller is also a very interesting young forward

[berloha]

Worth a post:

Our inofficial 10 is now an official one:

Carlos Eduardo will wear the '10' on his jersey ! Since he is such a crack, totally deserving this !
