The Red Baron: Josh Sargent at Norwich City

Same. He's still going to be 18 when he becomes eligible. If he's spending the majority of his time training with the first team like it seems like he is, I in no way see his situation as a bad thing.

 

Wasserman Group. Same as McKennie and Gooch. Taitague and Wright share a different agent.

 

yea as long as hes training up, hes going to U19 for a year and then up the ladder....excited to see him rip it up next year. The next big thing for us.....now we need NTait to handle biz as well and get a few callup cup matches next year

 

are there any actual worthy strikers that he can learn from at the club (while he's training with the first team)?

 

Their best striker might be AJ

 

I just read a great article on the agent thing, worth a read.

Bremen's best striker is Max Kruse not AJ.

 

He's more withdrawn rather than an out-and-out striker though.

 

he can play both and this season and last has been mainly the CF of the team. When Bremen only starts with one guy up top no AJ, no Beldofil, Kruse is the CF. Even when others are there he's still the CF.

 

What is the German media's perception of Josh Sargent? It's hard to take the English Bundesliga site seriously with how they pander to the North American market

 

the Bundesliga site is pretty much marketing, it likes to pander a lot, whether US or from somewhere else.

as for German media, I haven't really noticed anything and it makes sense since he's not really playing anywhere. Although from what I've read Bremen and the coach Kohfeldt seem high on the kid.

although I think Sargent going to Bremen is not a good thing for Young. His chances to make the 1st team were never that high but with Sargent and others whether in Bremen, Bremen II or the youth levels, his chances are even lower to ever make it. His contract expires in the Summer, better off changing clubs.

 

Young's 0 goals in 600 3.Liga minutes across 20 appearances hasn't helped either. A change of scenery is definitely good for him.

 

I laughed when someone said AJ. Kruse >> AJ by a mile.

 

So if Sargent was born say 14 days earlier he'd be eligible for this season?

 

Yup. It makes sense if you don't think about it.

Source tells Metro New York Sports' @KristianRDyer that US wunderkid Josh Sargent is nearing a senior debut with #WerderBremen of the #Bundesliga: https://t.co/ITOYrsKI5P

Semi-misleading headline. Makes his debut sound imminent, which it obviously can't be.

 

Ya apologize for dripping that Tweet with no context. Doing multiple things.

Important part is Bremen have no plans to loan him next season.

 

Great minds and all that.

Not your fault. I blame the social media guy.

Good that he's impressing. I have a new friend who grew up in Bremen so the idea of Werder having an all-American strike force is a lot more fun than it would have been for me before.

 

Maybe he gets a few minutes in the last game of the season. As a sort of "have a nice summer kid"

 

He can't be registered until next season, so Werder can only do that if they're willing to forfeit the match.

 

big vote of confidence in the kid

 

Imagine the elevation in his game in the last few months- he's gone from u17 camps and USSDA practices (each decent in their own right), to training every day with grown men playing in the Bundesliga. Have to think that the next time we see him in a competitive game, he will be even more polished.
