There was interest from Everton a year or two ago. The best for Bobby is to do the best he can to get back on good terms for the club. The positive is no one else is scoring, so he won't lose his position. how's the former top scorer? The dude that left for Leeds I think. Pretty telling if 2nd division English club can pay more than a reasonably rich Bundesliga club.
Great character actor. But there's loads of them now. Ben Mendelsohn and Michael Shannon come to mind.
Wood is on in the 66th minute. Game is airing on FS2. Hamburger down 1-0 against last place Koln. Edit: 2-0 just after Wood arrived. Had nothing to do with Bobby. Things are starting to look dire in this game and in general. Things are only going to get tougher from here, and now they have to hold on to Koln now. They'll probably only be 3 points up on them after this game.
I noticed any loose ball will always go to a Koln player, hard to win when lady luck is not smiling on you.
Hamburg is going down. They get punked in midfield too badly. I guess that's good for the American with the higher upside though, Joshua Sargent.
Hamburg are horrible and they can't score. Bobby is part of that but I mean unless you replaced him with Messi, nobody is going to score.
Poor Robert Timber. Maybe he can find a nice league change, but probably too expensive (in wages) for any bottom dwellers in another top 4 league. And with so many years in Germany, he may not wanna leave.
If Bremen goes to the playoff, which seems likely, they'll be facing a high-spirited Nuremberg. It's going to be a coin toss then.
It's weird. But somehow Hamburg seems to continue to have a midfield problem, despite not starting Wood (they did have a decent shot in the 1st half, to be fair, but this midfield is just too weak for the B1. Something has to give.
Hamburg's coach has been let go: http://www.espn.com/soccer/hamburg-...sdol-expect-to-appoint-successor-soon?src=com
Probably, although everyone below Wolfs is one unfortunate injury away from epic suckatude. Hamburg got their early, sadly, and have not figured out any sort of workaround. Koln is clearly as awful as HSV are. And Weder's pretty much on par. Their (and Wolfs!) ablity to tie games is the only thing keeping them from simply dropping right now. Gonna be an ugly spring in Germany for a couple of clubs.
The problem for Wood is that any EPL interest was then, not now. Since then he hasn't done anything to make a Prem side pay a transfer fee for him, and his new contract makes his wages pretty expensive even for an EPL side take a let's-roll-the-dice gamble on him. And that would include him going on loan. Add in the recent return of his knee problems and what you've got is someone who's golden-handcuffed to a sinking ship.
they are like Sunderland. perhaps now is their time to sink to the lower divisions. But somehow they will keep afloat.
