Nobody in yet, but Ascacibar and Insua out. Ascacibar went to Hertha and Insua to MLS. There was a time not long ago when I wouldn't have parted with either, but that time has passed. Maybe Santiago will be able to take the next step in Berlin, but he hadn't been fulfilling his potential. We deserved a player who was progressing after what we put up with. Insua, on the other hand, will remain on of my favorites from this era. He gave his all, with us lacking a backup for him most of the time. Just not much left in the tank. We'll be needing a net improvement in the window, so it's not a great start. Post your updates below.
Nathan Phillips has has been recalled to Liverpool FC. I haven't seen (or heard) about any incoming transfers, yet.
Looks like there's a new transfer in, Darko Churlinov: ℹ️ Letzte Details für den Transfer von Darko #Churlinov sind zwischen dem #VfB und dem @fckoeln noch zu klären. Mit einer Gastspielererlaubnis nimmt der 19-Jährige aber bereits am Mannschaftstraining teil.— VfB Stuttgart (@VfB) January 7, 2020 Details not entirely worked out, yet. Seems he refused to play for Köln II. Just what VfB needs, a 19 y.o. Diva!
There's a couple more transfers out: Ebenezer Ofori "Ebenezer #Ofori fehlte am Morgen beim Training. Der eben erst aus New York zurück gekehrte Mittelfeldspieler könnte zu seinem Ex-Club AIK Solna zurückkehren." https://t.co/YyEreYpd9I— Seriouz (@Seriouz1893) January 7, 2020 and Jan Kliment Der tschechische Erstligist 1. FC Slovacko hat Jan #Kliment verpflichtet. Alles Gute für deine Zukunft, Jan! #VfB #VfBTransfers https://t.co/rfK8TbErXV— VfBTransfers (@VfBTransfers) January 6, 2020 There'd better be some more incoming transfers, what with all the outgoing transfers lately!
Finally someone in, besides Churlinov: Neuzugang für die #VfBU21: Malik Batmaz wird für ein halbes Jahr vom @KarlsruherSC ausgeliehen. Der 19-Jährige erzielte in der vergangenen Saison in der A-Junioren Bundesliga 18 Tore, kam in dieser Saison in der 2. Bundesliga aber nicht zum Einsatz. Herzlich Willkommen, Malik! pic.twitter.com/HQ1Sip9g8L— VfB Nachwuchs (@jungundwild) January 13, 2020
Looks like Nathan Phillips is back on a plane to Stuttgart for another loan. That didn't take long. Glad to have a player over 19 back in the squad.
