    Cue Helen Reddy (or whoever the heck it was) "I haven't got time for the pain..."

    Seems to be more/same on 96 interest.

    Carly Simon, though HR would have been my guess, too.

    Oh, so Füllkrug is probably off to BMG - that makes things interesting. I really hope this deal goes through.

    I think having a guy like Cherundolo on staff would get the best out of Bobby Wood.

    Edit: doh

    anyone been able to see how much of a paycut he may have to take to join Hannover?

    On a transfer? Hannover aren't a big club and they're throwing Bobby a lifeline, so somewhere between 25% and 35% of what he was on last season. If it's a loan, it could be minimal or even non-existant. On loan, 50% of Bobby's pre-relegation wages will still be a good bit less than 100% of his post-relegation pay cut wages for HSV. Meanwhile, Hannover will want him to be fully motivated, so they'd be likely to agree to take him at his pre-relegation wages, especially if it's a loan-with-an option deal. They're only picking up 50% of it, so it's not much risk for them

    If he could, he would. I don't see the fans getting over it unless he starts scoring consistently in the 2.BuLi. He'd need to repeat what he did with Union Berlin.

    Seems like he's actually got quite a bit of suitors. I maintain my position that he's good enough when provided with service.

    Dude has a great agent. When I'm a terrible bf, it's not as if a bunch of ladies wanna come pick me up :(

    At this rate we'll hear an offer by Bayern any moment.

    The difference is that Bobby has proven than when healthy and with some decent service, he can score goals at the BL2 and low BuLi level. He is still young and also relatively cheap for a striker. He also works very very hard.

    A sporting director is asking himself if we had Bobby on our squad with the way we want to play and the midfield on our team how would he do?

    Four goals for 'Gladbach and I bet Real Madrid comes a-knokin'. His agent is a god.

    Germans love Wood. Titz didn't work. Might as well try from the 'bach.

    I guess BMG felt the need to reassure their supporters.
