Yeah so rather than talking about his situation he is saying that he would be unhappy if he had to climb the fence.
Sadly, the whole interview was not posted by the media. The entire set of questions started with questions around the game, his goal, the assist, the celebration with fans and then finally about his future with 1860.
Kicker's reporter had the original article and they posted it online. The München dailies picked up the story originally, but looks like, they changed the original article a bit. I'll find the original Kicker article. Was short but a good read.

Since our mgmt intends to switch the whole club to a 4-3-3 philosphy here's my question: has Juuja ever played in a 4-3-3? From what Ive seen in the 15 games I would say he has the skills to play every position up-front: winger, CF or false9. Do you agree? Would he fit in such a system?
he wouldnt perform as well but he could do it. also i heard that TSV has a crap goalkeeper and his the reason they wont get promoted?
Riiiight. Anyone who thinks Kiraly is not that good (at least for 1860) has not watched him play the last several years. He's been one of the only bright spots. His play has been stellar for us. Sure, he still wears the sweat pants, but CR7 still uses way too much mousse. What does that have to do with his ability to play his position? Nada. Kiraly has been fine for 1860. In fact, has been one of the highest rated 2.BL keepers. Not his fault we has a shiite defense.
lol Gabor is a ********ing legend. So the options to play him are reduced to CF by the club side anyway. That doesnt seem to be rising the chances for him staying.
Gerhard Poschner, who met with Juuja ealier this day, is quoted: "I wished him all the best for the WC. Of course, our hope is he stays. Two, three weeks ago we made an offer - we give him all the time needed to "digest" it. "Up until now no other club has contacted us."
Unless his agent is an incompetent or teams like Dortmund makes an offer immediately, he won't announce anything before the world cup for sure anyway. Because that's a nice visibility boosts and it may attract more offers
Depends. What if an offer comes in today from Koeln? Does he turn it down and wait to see if another comes? Remember, clubs know all too well that players either become more or less expensive after the WM. In Osako's case, it is not like there will be a bidding war. All a team needs to do is meet the minimum buy out clause. Once that is done, THEN there could be a bidding war. However, that also depends on the wording of the contract (i.e., does he have to consider any multiple offers at one time? In the order they were received? Are they made public or kept private?). I could envision a scenario where a team may come for him before the WM knowing that if they approach him afterwards he might cost more. A smart club without much money might simply make him an offer now to see if he will take it. In a way, it is very much like fishing.
he would probably try to buy time =p hmm yes and no, since as you said right now all it's needed is a minimal fee. That means that it's not that much the club to be convinced, you just have to win Osako's interest
Right, and that is where the poker comes in. He could go to the WM and sit. He could go and get injured. He could go and do well/poorly. All of which would impact any offers either way. If he had a solid offer from, say Kolen, now, why would he turn it down in the hopes of getting a second one? Bird in the hand, I say. Again, depends on how the clause is written. Anything is possible. Usually it is the first offer that comes in and the player agreeing to terms. Sometimes competing offers cannot be considered at the same time. He'd have to turn down one to see the next. Again, no one knows for certain.
