Das Reboot and the Road to UEFA Nations League & EC2020

Strong , physical, can play back-to-goal, hold-up play

Adequate finisher but I think he does many dirty work

Try him n Selke, maybe a chance for Weydandt too, he is dominant in certain area of the game

 

I cannot believe you actually bought into our lolcow Weydandt being a viable option loooool

 

Volland presses very well too

 

Doesn’t matter where he’ll play next season

Bringing in now still help his stock. Italy brought in Pellegri and Kean; England brought in Mason Mount

All matters if a player can offers something u want in the position.

Can try more options. Come on, we got nothing to lose, just trying won’t be a bad thing

We are in rebuild mode.

 

Well I think for the striker department, we can afford to try more

Even Serra, why not. It’s not like there are many strikers emerging worldwide anyway. Especially 23 or under Jovic, Maxi Gomez, Joelinton,Timo Werner, Rashford... basically it

We can help their stocks. If things pan out, they will get invited by better teams.

I think for strikers we can try more options and set slightly lower barrier. U see strikers like Kruse, Gomez, Stindl, Petersen are still serviceable even at 30 or above.

So why not setting lower barriers for younger strikers for trial?

If Weydandt or Serra get called, maybe they will get attention from bigger teams, help their stock

 

I would bring in Selke, Volland, Weydandt and see how things go.

Just a sense of what they can offer. Can be good, can be bad. But at least we have to see we are trying

We can be more open n take more risks for trial.

 

Because we are in rebuilding mode, n we don’t have many options. We should look slightly further.

Let’s be honest, Stindl n Petersen aren’t the future and I doubt they are that much better than the younger ones nowadays

I still remember the days when we were being rebuilt, we had Podolski who played only one season in 1BL then another season in 2BL

Fathi, Wollscheid, Tobias Weis, Commper, Jung, Oliver Sorg, Reinartz, Manuel Friedrich, Knoche, Christian Günter ... were tried at a time.

Not exactly everyone pan out but at least we saw that Loew was active n was more opened towards not 100% proven players.

We need more trials, more options. I hate the idea of automatic nominations like Draxler, Mueller and To some extend Timo Werner

We see Loew was waiting too long until he brings in someone for experiments now. He brought in Uth when he passed his best form.

It’s a time when Loew should be more willing to take risks , but he doesn’t. He doesn’t need players who are 100% proven, u see a need in that position n u see the potential or what the player can offer then u bring him in

Sometimes, it’s about if a player works n clicks for the NT. maybe he isn’t the most skilled or efficient at club level, but he offers exactly what type NT needs.

All matters is if a player can play well for the NT. everything else is trivial

I would bring in Mittelstadt, Weiser, Da Costa, Rani Khedira, Selke, Volland, Weydandt, Philipp Max, Demirbay (fantastic player) and see what they can offer

We know exactly what type of players Draxler, Hector,Werner and Muller are already. So we can do a bit more experiments

 

Actually he was very brave in terms of selecting young talents Before

Just that the team is pretty saturated now. I would take out Muller, Draxler, Hector, Rudy, Timo Werner(yes) sometimes and see how things are different without them

Then we can plug in some new players like Mittelstadt, Selke, Volland, Demirbay n Demme and see if things work

 

I think we are at a stage where we need to rebuild

We need new blood and experiements

Now there are so many “godsons” from Loew in the team. He has been around for too long, too much love on certain players

Even if he brings in Weydandt, Serra and Arp I wouldn’t complain. He can raise their stocks too

What matters most is if these future prospects can offer the team what they need in future f

 

If I remember correctly, Podolski n Schweinsteiger were just rookie in the league when they get called. Played like 15-20 games ahead of their call ups

Goretzka too, only played one season in Schalke.


Fathi, Wollscheid, Tobias Weis, Commper, Jung, Oliver Sorg, Reinartz, Manuel Friedrich, Knoche, ChristianGünter ... were tried at a time. Played like half a season of average football

My point is, what matters most is

1) do the team have a need (DM, RB, CF)

2) does a player have the missing attributes and what he can offer in the future

Then bring them in for trial, we can’t be any worse anyway. What do we have to lose now? Seriously


If one can perform well for the NT, it matters most. And if that’s an area where the NT need addition we should take more risks n open to new players

Maybe he isn’t the best player in the league but he’s a missing puzzle in NT. why so conversation?

We are rebuilding, should bring in as many players as possible

Da Costa and Weiser
Mittelstadt and Max And Halstenberg
Demme and Rani Khedira
Demirbay
Selke and Weydandt and Volland

Can try all and see if they click. What can they offer.

I m always looking for experiments at this stage. And we should set lower barriers for newcomers now.

All we need is just one solution. Weydandt might be playing in 2BL next season but so what? If he’s in for trials this season n he can play very well with the Nt , that matters most.

If he keeps scoring hattricrks for NTs, does it matter where he plays ? No. That’s an extreme scenario

My point is , u just need one solution. Finding the missing puzzle. And we are rebuilding so I don’t see the hestitation

Try as many players as possible.

Weydandt can play in Singaporean league next season, but if he keeps performing n scoring for Nt, it doesn’t matter. Imagine he can score hat tricks after hat tricks for the NT even if he plays in China or something . It doesn’t matter where he plays

 

Yes

 

I m all for setting lower barriers for new players

U dont have to wait 2-3 seasons later to react if u see certain need or potential

England, Spain n Italy all have similar approach nowadays.

 

I m also interested in bringing in a player like Weydandt

They need some hope from Grassroots football. Can be an encouragement to the amateurs

 

Yannick Gerhardt has been a steady presence in Wolfsburg's rise this season, I'd give him a call up

 

Which position?
