Das Reboot and the Road to UEFA Nations League & EC2020

When Firmino were bought by Liverpool, he played AM in his entire career;

When Alex Meier, 2015 BL topscorer joined Eintracht Frankfurt, he never played a single match at CF;

When Lewandowski joined Dortmund, he was an AM/SS, before Klopp turned him into a 9;

Suarez played SS/Wing when he was in Ajax n Liverpool, (remember his Liverpool days CF was Sturridge), then in Barcelona he is used as CF;

Aubameyang was bought as a winger, n later was transformed into a poacher. Won Top scorer award in BL too

When Thierry Henry joined Arsenal in 1999, he has never played CF... he was always a winger;

When Arsenal signed Van Persie, he was a winger and later transformed into striker;

When Real Madrid bought Cristiano Ronald, he was always a winger Forward, but later was used a striker...

My point is, where a player used to play does not mean he can’t play at other positions. Don’t make it sounds like ridiculous u shallow, ignorant people.

U guys have short term memories like a ********ing gold fish, doesn’t mean I have the same issue

 

I m very sorry but I do know German Football a lot
More than all the posters here

I m closely connected to professional scouts, coaches, players n officials. I basically talk to them daily n I even have Klopp’s number

We chatted a lot about football, n they enlighten me with their professional perspectives

Don’t be surprised that I m few steps ahead of u guys because many of u are just rubbish n ignorant

Call me arrogant but u guys are amateur n extremely shallow

 

Lion den ?

Do u think transforming a 10 into 8 ( probably 6 n 8 are the most important positions in modern football) don’t involve risk?

When he is clearly better off in final third n we have many decent options at 8 (when all fit to play) ? U think there is no opportunity cost?

Anyway, Football is something u can never say never

Henry was a winger and at 21 when he joined Arsenal, he started playing striker under such transformation. Not much older than Havertz who is gonna be 20 next year

 

I work in the football industry

That’s all I can say.

And pros see things slightly deeper than Amateurs. So I m always few steps ahead

I was saying , don’t be so surprised or find it amusing when Havertz becomes the starting striker for any team one day.

Kid has a more complete package than Germany have produced in last 10 years at least. U don’t see a full package of pace, skill, composure, size, physicality n intelligence.

Not Werner, not Uth, not Petersen I’m afraid. Havertz belongs to another level

 

I don’t care if u like me or not

But I see u guys as rubbish n amauers anyway

 

Lol I think I showed my picture with Johannes Eggestein here before. He drove me n we had dinner together

Have a guess of what I do

But I m closely connected to pros. So I see things slightly different. Because I’m informed with their professional perspectives

N i have to tell u I have Jojo, Klopp, Gary Gordon n Slaven Skeledzic’s contact n we talk at least once a month.

I showed the questionnaires to Kuntz n his replies in green. I hope it helps u hopeless people who are so shallow n difficult to face changes

 

Not agreeing what?

Havertz doesn’t have what it takes to play striker? Or he won’t ever play striker? Lol

As I said, never say never in Football world. The day when he actually plays there (which will happen) . U will make a fool of yourself

As I said, I m few steps ahead of u guys.

When u say Werner is an aerial threats. Maybe u should check his stats in last two seasons. He wins 0.3 aerial duels this season thus far, 0.4 in entire last season. Can we have a striker who have almost no aerial threat? Exactly Germany have been neglecting at the striker position in years

 

Havertz has everything u want in a modern attacker. Pace, skill, composure, intelligence, size...

Don’t say he should be developed as an “8” because it’s a waste of his talent n magnify his weaknesses

If teams are playing 343 or 4141(433), he should be one of the frontman rather than playing outside final third most part of the game.

U have to look at the team setup too. When we have basically no reliable striker n we can’t produce a decent one in years. What can we have to lose to put him there? Because of frigging Werner who only scored in 4 games this season or ....Nils Petersen? Lol

We also have some good options at 8 n 10. These are the easier positions to produce talents in Germany, especially in recent years.

So if u want a long term answer at CF, play Havertz there. That’s my last advice

Transformation From “10” to “9” , have many successful stories. Firmino, Lewandowski, Kruse, Stindl n Alex Meier are some examples.

Don’t be shock....

 

U are one very shallow posters n can’t make good judgement on players’ potential

No wonder u are an amateur forever lol

Yeah keep posting here n assume u are a pro

 

Ok advocate Petersen and Werner as much as u like.

lol, at least after 12 years, Germany still fail to find an answer at striker

Because they don’t think strikers needed to be all-round. They either focus on false 9 or counter strikers like Werner.

Never find the balance. Good mix of physicality, pace, skills, composure n etc

Werner is an aerial threat? not anymore in last two seasons as stats suggested. He lacks consistency n composure in front of goal. Very limited technical skills

He only has pace now. We all should know

 

I m saying Havertz at CF, is not a crazy idea as it sounds like

“10” to “9” happened many times, n many successful stories as I said

So stop saying it’s impossible. Never say never in Football industry

Dion Dublin played CF then Transformed into CB, then Played Cf afterwards again. Football is like that

 

Well when the player improve or regress . We clearly will have another perspectives on the player

Maybe he doesn’t act so professionally outside the pitch. Of coz things changed n u gotta make adjustments

Maybe some are surrounded by bad friends, some have family/academic issues that stop them from progressing. Some might have serious injuries

Some smaller kids don’t grow further then u have another judgement.

Thing about Havertz is, unless he has bad influence n injuries, He is the most complete player Germany have produced in last 10 years

As we have midfield options like Kimmich, Kroos, Goretzka, Gundogan, Demirbay, Emre Can, Jonas Hofmann, Neuhaus n Eggestein

We certainly have the room for Havertz to play elsewhere. Anything but 8

 

Calling me flip flopping ?

U didn’t like Kimmich as DM, but do u know he played his entire career as DM, Developed there.

And u know when Bayern bought him, where he used to play? Dm.... It’s not until Guardiola who transformed him into a RB in 2016

And u are saying u don’t like to see changes, n u wanted him to play RB.

If there was no changes in his position , he would’ve never played RB

 

I’m sorry I just know the inside stories a lot more than u

But it’s a pity that I can’t disclose too much.

But I was saying don’t be surprised when a “10” is transformed into “9”

We have decent set up at “8” n “10”, if Havertz pans out, upside is HUGE. We can also use Neuhaus（who I do rate) , Eggestein a bit more

The opportunity cost is minimal as well. Because our striker options are players with serious holes in their games n I don’t think they can improve much such as Werner, Petersen n Volland. Selke isn’t even a definte starter for Hertha Berlin, not scoring many n is injuries riddled.

So what is the downside if Havertz can’t play CF? We stick with scrubs like Werner n Petersen. No problem

Just saying Havertz as striker is not a crazy idea. Havertz is amused with that idea too

 

U still don’t get it. Where he currently plays doesn’t mean he won’t be used as striker

When Firmino joined Liverpool, there were few strikers ahead like Benteke, Sturridge, Ings, Origi n co

He somehow changed from an Am to a CF later on.

How do u know Loew isn’t considering it? Kuntz has a close connection to Loew... n he thinks there is a possibility
