German Dual/Triple Nationals.

I never said Nmecha should play for Germany, only questioned him playing for England. That's not the same thing, not sure why I need to explain to you 1000 times to get it through your thick skull.

We did not take Sane from France he's a German born and lived his life in Germany, his only French connection is that his Senegalese dad was a French citizen which made him eligible for France. Had France taken Sane, they would pretty much have poached him. And his mom is German too.

 

speaking of dual strikers.

Tekin (already Hertha U17 all time scorer) is now only 5 goals away from being U17 Nord/Nordost all time top scorer overtaking J.Eggestein. Truth is Samardzic had he not been injured for almost the whole season would likely have claimed both of those honors, now it's too late for him to overtake Tekin.

while Asllani although tied at 20 for the season with Tekin, he's ahead of Tekin because he's got more assists and played less games/minutes than him.

and in U17 Sud/Sudwest top scorer of the league going into Winter break is the German-Ukrainian (plays for Ukraine) Erik Shuranov.

 

💬 #Tedesco: "Ahmed #Kutucu can play in a number of positions and is good on the ball. He has a great temperament and has grown a lot in the last year. He will definitely be in the squad, but I'm not sure if he will start yet."#S04LMFC #s04 pic.twitter.com/LwhFMeRdYD

I heard this in the past too but looks like Kutucu has a temper, lol sounds like another Avdijaj.

Kutucu hat noch ein sehr hitziges Temperament neben seinem Talent. Hoffe, er wird das im Griff haben in der CL sonst gibt es eine unsanfte Landung.

still no one tops Renat Dadashov in the crazy/nut job barometer.

 

00-Kutucu made his pro debut in CL and played 18 minutes. And he did show his aggressive side once and had one good 4v3 opportunity where he was selfish and went for glory instead to pass to one of his teammate. His shot was blocked.

 

I think it's nuts the amount of interest that the whole world takes into German dual/triples. Of Course it's within their rights as these players are eligible. Still doesn't change the fact that our players are being watched like hawks. Not only did we recently have Brazil trying to poach players from Germany, now add Argentina to the list......

00-Kevin Sessa is drawing attention of the Argentian FA, he also has 2 older brothers but he seems to be the better prospects. He plays for Heidenheim in 2BL but currently part of the U19. Played 2 games in 2BL last season and has a pro contract.

the Sessa brothers are actually triple nationals too. They are German-Argentian-Italian.



1. FC Heidenheim: Kevin Sessa soon for Argentina?
So far, however, he continues to play for the U19 of the FCH. In the same age group, he could soon come to international honors, because the Argentine Federation is watching the midfielder.

By the origin of the father entitled to play
As the Argentine sheet "La Nacion" reports, the AFA is now increasingly looking around in Europe, so that players with Argentine roots do not go through the Association. Especially young people from German junior centers are in high demand.

Since Sessa's father is Argentinean, his son is considered for the young "Gauchos" in question. The family still feels very close to Argentina, Kevin Sessa, for example, is a big fan of the top club River Plate.

Not only that but the young Sessa although he's never played for Germany, he has been involved in Camp call ups. His last German call up was October 2018.

2 German-Poles who play for Poland made their pro debuts today for Bayer Leverkusen in EL.

99-Bednarczyk played 8 minutes in the 5-1 win. Seems to be a German even though he's born in Poland. Career wise he's been in German clubs since 2011, over 7 years and TM has had him with German/Polish nationality for a long time. Guess he might have moved to Germany ages ago.

00-Stanilewicz played 2 minutes in the 5-1 win. He actually played for Germany U16 and was called up for Germany U17 but later on Germany stopped calling him up and he got his 1st Polish call up for U20 in Nov 2018. So he became a Polish Youth NT player as of last month only.

 

Kutucu after making his pro debut for Schalke in CL now today made his 1BL debut playing 24 minutes in a 1-1 draw.

Kaan Ayhan a CB scored a brace to win the game 2-0 for FD vs Freiburg, massive 3 pts for the struggling club.

Holebas scored his 3rd of the season for Watford in EPL.

 

Joel Abu Hanna seems headed for a loan. Currently at Magdeburg in 2BL who are currently fighting relegation battle.

also he's provisionally capped by Germany but headed for Israel??? as his dad is an Arab-Israeli while his mom is German.

Soon for Israel on the ball?
Since his father is from Israel, Abu Hanna would be eligible to play for the local national teams. Currently, the officials of the Israeli U21 should consider a nomination of the 20-year-olds.

To come to national team honors, however, playing practice in the club would be more than helpful. In Magdeburg he is this season without any time, was even only three times ever in the squad. In Kaiserslautern he was not a regular player last year, but had made ten games from the start.

with Fullkrug and Bebou out, 99-Benjamin Hadzic is in the H96 1st team for the 1st time today.

he's provisionally capped tied to Bosnia.

 

and 99-Hadzic made his 1BL/pro debut playing 10 minutes in a 1-1 draw vs Freiburg.

so that's the 4th recent young German dual who made his pro debut this season but doesn't play for Germany. Without including Yalcin in Turkey which would make it 5.

 

losing Schindler would be a big blow, he's been one of Kiel's best player both last season and this one. I would promotion chances to Kiel would go down if he leaves in Winter. But then they are forced to sell him this Winter or he goes for free.

besides Koln have been poaching Kiel players, they picked up Drexler who was the other player that made a big impact at Kiel.

 

Jake Hirst: Top scoring Englishman in Germany
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/46587689

he's born in Germany and lived pretty much is whole life in Germany but his whole family is pretty much British. When it comes to football he's more England.

 

00-Kutucu scores his 1st of the season and pro goal to make it 3-1 for Schalke.
https://streamja.com/O5Z7

Schlupp scores his 3rd goal of the season as he scores the tying goal vs Man City where Crystal currently lead 3-1.

have to say I found from the beginning Kutucu is the German-Turk from the current crop of youngsters that it's a shame that he's playing for Turkey. Still a wait and see at how Kiprit does as a pro. Unlike Kutucu, Kiprit at least did play for Germany.

Kutucu is still a Schalke U19 player too.

 

Vlachodimos on the list of breakthrough CL team of 2018.

 

99-Hadzic played 6 minutes today in a 1-0 loss for struggling H96. It's his 2nd pro cap after playing 10 min in his 1st last week.

I think with Fullkrug out for the season, H96 will end up loaning in a striker or buying one as they fight for survival. Whether that will block Hadzic or not who knows.

between
99-Yalcin, Hadzic
00-Kutucu

that's 3 strikers who play for other countries that are getting some playing time in 1st division.

 

Dadashov is doing well in Portuguese 2nd division. Looking it up in TM, he's in #15 in the scoring table but when it comes to youngsters only Jota and Miyamoto are ahead. Both of these 2 are 99s players like Dadashov and they are all tied at 4 like him although they have less minutes/more assists, which is why they are listed ahead. Still not too bad being one of the more productive young players.

Demirovic is listed at #20 and only 2 players his age or younger are ahead in the league the rest are all older players. He actually did well in La Liga last season with 1 goal and 1 assist in 3 games playing 180 min total. But was loaned out instead. Wonder why Ligue 2 and not La Liga 2?
