Review: German Players Development Discussion - 2017/18

Any idea where Howedes will be playing next season?

 

Rüdiger's actually a very very good CB considering the performances I've seen from him, he could be an interesting man in a back trio

 

Hummels, Sule and Rudiger are our top 3 CB now....Boateng even if was not injured, still would have been my 4th choice CB this World Cup

 

Niklas Sule got a number 27 jersey in the preliminary squad

Will he be the man to cut?

 

Sule will definitely make it. I think Tah will be cut.

 

I want Rudy, Trapp, Tah and Draxler be cut .

But most likely will be

Petersen, Trapp, Tah, Brandt

 

I really hope Petersen makes it. He has been excellent this season and deserves to go to Russia. I would cut Draxler

 

GK) Neuer, ter Stegen, Leno

RB) Kimmich, (Ginter)
CB) Sule, Boateng, Hummels, Ginter, Rudiger
LB) Hector, Plattenhardt

CM) Kroos, Khedira, Goretzka, Gundogan

AM/Wing) Muller, Reus, Oezil, Sane, Brandt

CF) Timo Werner, Petersen, Mario Gomez


I am thinking about this formation:

-----------------------ter Stegen
---Kimmich--Boateng----Hummels----Hector
------------------------Rudiger
----------------Khedira-----Kroos
----Muller------------Werner-------------Reus

 

I would hope the cuts are:
Trapp: Neuer should be fit to be no 3
Plattenhardt: I think the 4 defenders with 3 CB and 1 attacking winger like last world cup is very suitable in tournament matches, in that case, we don't need too many attacking wingers
Sane: I just don't see what he brings to the national team even he is very good player, his style never fits loew's system
Tah: if Boaten is fit

 

Do u think Draxler fits well with us then(?

No he isn’t

 

Well Draxler more or less fits ok. he controls the ball well even though he lacks a killer pass like Ozil, and lacks movement like muller, but in Low's pass and control style system, he can provide some sort of control while Ozil and Muller are not very good, so the midfield would not loss the ball easily, plus he has some degree of goal threat with his mid range shot, and occasionally he can beat defender on the left hand side with his dribbling, hence i think he will a start 11, he, ozil and muller are actually complement each other very well

 

Draxler is like smaller version of Pogba, holds ball well with his ball control and physicality, is like newer version of old style ball holding striker, with this type of player, the whole team can move the ball forward to close to opponent's penalty area, then ozil provides theat pass in the final third, muller and striker can do the finish

 

Diego Contento joins FD from Bordeaux.

some other roundups
-Kovac wants to sign Kevin Vogt
-Marius Wolf might join Dortmund this week
-Benno Schimtz is set to join Koln
-Bremen are interested in Dominick Drexler. At this rate none of the key Kiel players will be there next season

 

Vincenzo Grifo was linked to Bremen but being too expensive they moved on. Now is linked with a move to Hannover.

guy had a bad season at Gladbach between injuries, bench and a not so great season for the club. Although was actually good while playing at Freiburg.

 

looks like Holtby might stay at Hamburg. The club also signs Christoph Moritz.

everyone wanted him but he choose Freiburg instead.

Kaiser is now the last guy who needs to leave RB this Summer from the guys who only get picked when injuries happen.

 

lol, Mustafi is being linked with Juventus.

so how many teams will he con?
from Sampdoria, Valencia, Arsenal, the German NT and now possibly Juventus.

in terms of youth he was at Hamburg and Everton even turning down Man City and Newcastle to join Everton.

kind of ironic that Mustafi has never played 1BL. Played Serie A, La Liga, EPL and now could be headed back to Serie A.

 

Toni Kroos wins his 3rd consecutive CL trophy and 4th career one as Real beat Liverpool 3-1.

and with that the 2017-2018 season is over.

@Epitome990 just like last year, it's time for a new thread.

There is still a large group of Bayern fans that dont think hes very good. Probably the same fans who dont like Thiago.
