Tea Light in the Dark Universe: Bobby Wood at Hamburg

From where? They have no midfield and Bobby himself is the type who needs five good chances to score one.

They're this season's Darmstadt.

 

If he's the first choice PK, that's something. Maybe also if he can take a few FK.

 

The McBride situation= trying to score for a crappy relegation fodder club.

 

Re-signing with HSV is probably the worst decision one of our YA has made in awhile.

 

The club's acronym is also used in the US and perhaps the UK to represent a venereal disease. They can't get anything right.

 

He doubled his wages so there's that.

 

Not

If the chance was the one near the end, it wasn't a sitter. It was close to goal, but is skyed 90% of the time cause the player has to extend to reach, and they usually catch the ball on the top of the foot.

 

Does he still have that clause in his contract where he costs pennies if Hamburg get relegated?

 

Give credit to Osnabruck who are exceptionally well coached

 

Word. Totally under-rated coach.

 

Buy a damn midfielder HSV!

 

They begin the Bundesliga season at home against Augsburg.

 

He took his time. I think just there weren't any takers.

 

i think only Leverkusen was really interested.

 

I actually think he just stayed put because he knew he would be the starting striker and it's a WC year. Who gives a damn if HSV goes down. He'll get 8-10 league goals and play in a WCF. He'll be on a better team next year.

This way, he forced a pay raise and paved his road to Russia.

Just bringing some real talk.

 

^THIS EXACTLY.

also he wanted to get that nice raise in time before his wedding.

 

From your lips to God's ears, boychick.

 

Quite often when you get a contract extension for more money, the club gets to raise your buyout fee.

 

And if the star striker for some reasonably good EPL team gets a season-ending injury before Xmas and the depth flops, sparking a worrying slide down the table, HSV gets an offer they can't refuse (i.e. buy two decent CMs with the fee) while Bobby moves to the EPL, doubles his wages, and still has a starting berth. All in a WC year

Just bringing some not-so-real-but-stranger-thing-have-happened talk.

Muller scores 8 mins in, then hurts knee on corner flag and is replaced by Hunt... yuck.

 

1-0 win for Hamburg. Bobby was subbed out at 87'.
