Bundesliga 2018-19, Bayern Munich or bust!

I would speculate various people involved in the running of the DFB's women's leagues, are still very aware of the past constant feast or famine cycle of rival pro leagues, negatively effecting the progress of a long term self sustaining professionalism within elite European female club football.

Probably resulting in Bundesliga clubs holding onto ideas of needing to be more economical with their annual budgeting, even though the self sustaining part of elite women's football no longer a factor for rival European clubs now under the umbrella of increasing numbers of huge male clubs.

This pattern of old female teams obtaining financially stable male club affiliation, even potentially becoming a reality for famous German women's clubs like FFC Frankfurt; with them supposedly holding talks to merge with Eintracht Frankfurt.

So German women's football obviously recognizes there's various issues with the current attitudes towards professionalism, but given the nature of the German football as a whole, I don't see it resulting in the nations biggest male clubs investing EPL amounts of money into the non profit pursuit of funding elite women's teams.

 

@hotjam2 I don't know how this effects Doorsoun, but Bloodworth like Doorsoun is also a formerly unheralded player who spent 2 years at mid table Essen, before moving to Arsenal, and now eventually finding her way back to the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg.

Proving my point that you a far too dismissive of talent within this league, just because they play for mid table teams, or come from nations you don't regard as elite; only choosing to praise this same disregarded foreign talent pool should they find their way to rival English, French, or American clubs...

 

But I know I've been far to quick to dismiss various players within the leagues mid-table clubs, incorrectly assessing Dallmann as a mediocre player..., with my disparaging analysis of Knaak potentially about to be exposed as seriously flawed opinion very soon too lol.

Making you wonder why Wolfsburg don't try to recruit more of the best players from within the very same league they compete each week...?

Looking forward to this new adventure! @VfLWob_Frauen has always been a strong side to play against and as one say, if you can't beat them, you join them. 💪 pic.twitter.com/wjGlFm9X1I

Although she's already 36, I guess Lindhal is a quality signing for Wolfsburg!

 

Where does that leave Schult, I wonder, will Lindahl get significant minutes over her? Yes, she's 36 but we're still talking about one of the best keepers in the game, interesting signing.

 

Maybe Schult is going to move abroad herself? Just speculating.

 

Schult has picked up a shoulder injury and needs surgery. She will be out for quite some time, which I guess is the main reason to Lindahl signing. Wolfsburg need a reliable short term solution in Schult's absence.

 

Thank you very much for the accurate news, as ever.
