Kim Jin-su @ TSG 1899 Hoffenheim 2015-2016 [R]

7m for Toljan?

I hope Stuttgart is interested in him. Their LB Insua left and they are rebuilding the squad for the second league, but they're still good enough to come back next year. Also, there have been many transfers from Hoffenheim to Stuttgart and viceversa.

EDIT: My mistake. Insua hasn't left yet. But he's one of those candidates that most likely will, with Italian clubs interested.

 

possible replacement for Kim JS ..

Better sooner than later so that KJS can search for another team. Masuaku is much better fit than Kim in a 3-back system (and also much more talented).

Interesting twist as Hoffenheim wants to keep KJS.

 

Just says that he is staying. Doubt his situation is any better now given the talks of 3-5-2 formation.

 

i think he can be decent wing-back.. of course, this depends on his improvement in attack (such as crossing the ball).

 

Think if he could cross at all, he'd be better there at this point of career.

 

but remember that whip of a cross two seasons ago?

 

Starts.

Taken off at half time. Did he play as RM given that Kaderabek is still on holiday?

 

Only two guys stayed on so not a big deal

KJS was LB I think as Toljan was RB and I believe they played with back four according to their site.

 

754799629380661248 is not a valid tweet id

 

Basically for KJS to earn a regular spot, there are three conditions:

1. Nagelsmann has to play with a back 4. KJS is not a wingback. Maybe he could play that role, but he has basically never got any chance under Nagelsmann to play as a LWB, which implies that he is seen as a pure LB.
2. Kim has to be better than Toljan. Even though I rate them similarly, KJS is neither a homegrown nor can he play RB.
3. There must be no more LB addition. There are still rumors that Hoffenheim want another LB. If that's the case, I'd say that he should definitely leave.

 

Trial for traore?!

As bad as Kim is, I don't think he's as shite as Traore.

 

Would be really dire days to have two KPAs beaten out by him

If Traoré signs (which looks happening), Kim can go. His management is apparently looking for interested clubs.

As I've always thought, Kim is not in the plans of Nagelsmann. But they better sign someone like Masuaku too because Traoré is one of the worst footballers I've ever seen.

 

KJS starts second half. Toljan started first I think though hard to tell if at LB with jumbled squads.

From what I've heard Traoré hasn't been impressive at all (not surprising). But this doesn't necessarily mean they won't sign him. Let's just wait and see.

 

Looks like no traore
