Case 1 -Not Long Ago=Woltemade is shit and nobody wants him that's why he's in 3rd Liga. I don't give a crap that Bremen have 3rd Liga loan habit, that he's in 3rd Liga shows he's terrible, -Now MS) Maurice Malone, Woltemade— German Talents Scout (@GermanTalents) May 31, 2023 Case 2 -Not Long Ago= Unfortunately, while I think Paris Brunner from @BVB is a decent talent , he reminds me too much of Timo Werner. Relies so much on his pace n physical advantage (for this age), but lacking the composure and aerial threat as an attacker. Decent , but not too talent in my book— German Talents Scout (@GermanTalents) May 18, 2023 -Now Is Paris Brunner really a winger? I always think he's tall and physical enough as a centre-forward... and he's definitely not the forward type Adeyemi/Timo Werner/Benedict Paris Brunner can win a lot of header duels. said it for years this guy is a flip flopping clown who doesn't know shit. Constantly seeking validation and asking others what they think since he can't form an opinion himself and sells himself as an expert, LMAO.
a good example of issues in terms of youth GKs breakthrough 2BL FD -we rate 02 GK Gorka highly and see him as future #1 -current #1 Kastenmeier is headed out in Summer -so we are gonna get a new #1 how the frick does this even make sense??? and we see this over and over and over in 1BL-2BL. Gorka is 21 y/o=not ready, so when will he be ready when he'd mid-20s MIN? And some clubs do this but when the new #1 leaves they just get someone else to replace him. NOTHING they say is set in stone when talking about "down the line" aspect. one gets impression that 1BL-2BL these days seem more keen on GKs who go from 24 y/o-onwards in age. That's why it was suprising to see Urbig and Schreiber both breakthrough #1 young. one thing that could help the next gen GKs is that a lot of the young GKs are more complete GKs whereas a lot of the 90s born are more old fashioned GKs which is why a LOT of them aren't good enough for 1BL. DFB was disengenous for a long long time about GKs. But some in DFB admit that the major issue of next gen GKs is NOT Talent but lack of trust, lack of patience and jumping to transfers for GKs instead of integration......something I've been saying for ages. Just a clown organization.
according to kicker, Pal Dardai will continue to coach Hertha in 2BL next season. This could make it easier for 03 GK Ernst and all their youth to fully breakthrough the club. And Dardai is also a coach that is annoyed about losing any talents to other clubs too. https://www.kicker.de/dardai-bleibt-cheftrainer-in-berlin-954085/artikel#twfeed
Highlights from the Superliga game including the goal by Bisseck's : Some Bisseck highlights (and goals) from this season :
shocking no one, Pengland U20 aka 2003 already OUT in R16 along with Argentina, LOL. Good riddance to both. what does anyone expect when their CFs are useless Jebbison (poached from Canada), Joseph (poached from Spain), Delap none of the did anything all season either. the Delap regression is a real thing. From overhyped to the moon to struggling badly. their main CF ended up being a 2004 Scarlett who is 1.8m tall.....yeah 2 poaching not enough end up with a younger player to lead line, LOL. continues to highlight, Pengland 98-03 CFs looking like not much of anything. Too early to say anything about 04-onwards. not sure what's more funny, Pengland's inability to dev next gen CFs or France having only Tel as youth CF in top 4 league in Europe after relegation of Rutter/Mara, LOL. As for Tel, Bayern is buying new CF and the Moting will return to fitness, where does that leave him???? 3rd choice??? Tuchel got some flack by Bayern for saying he might get loaned out, LMAO. Spain praying that the 3-4 youth CFs that they are pinning their hopes are pan out, LULZ.
cool, thanks for posting!!! a lot of Koln fans regret that he never brokethrough their club and he looks like he's leaving in Summer. Missed opportunity by Koln. how high would you rank his season as a CB?
The U20 World Cup is a joke, to be fair. None of the countries can bring their best players due to the schedule. I haven’t watched a single game. So it’s harsh to criticize France and England for failing to advance. France sent their C team. England are without Bellingham, Colwill, Rico Lewis, Mbete, Lewis Hall, Harvey Elliott, etc You are right that all the big nations are struggling to produce elite strikers. I don’t know why that is. Nowadays players can stay at the top until they are like 35 years old ( Cristiano, Lewandowski, Benzema,Giroud, etc) so maybe Harry Kane has another 5 years left at the highest level. That means England have plenty of time to find a replacement.
He is rated among the top CB's in the Superliga if not the best, though he has lost a bit of focus and made a few mistakes here at the end of the season, perhaps also because he has been more attacking minded moving upfield and is about to be sold in this transfer window. The price tag is said to be somewhere between 7 and 8 million euros.
wasn't critizing France, just laughing my ass off that they got eliminated in a tourney where even 3rd place can advance, LOL. Even our shat on 1997 age group got out of the GS in U20 WC, LMAO. as for Pengland, doesn't matter if players aren't there who are eligible, they are out early. And Bellingham shouldn't be listed because he's a Senior NT player. And why is he already in Senior NT because the Senior NT competition in M is weak as frick. so yes, its great to see neither France nor Pengland nor Argentina will win U20 WC, LOL. one big reason why big countries are struggling to produce CFs aka Germany, England, Spain, Italy 1-they are top 4 leagues in Europe 2-Top 4 league also means that these 4 countries have more money/more transfers focus 3-why integrate any youth CFs when you can just buy left and right whatever you want. Even the garbage EPL clubs have tons of money to burn, LOL. 4-every club wants to Play Europe and every club wants to survive. Where is there room for integration of CFs? 5-Huge majority of clubs only play 1 uptop 6-1BL also is a league who is all about dev/sell which isn't about Germans. not a coincidence that these 4 have had issues with CF dev. Although its clear that we at least are improving and our CF pool is increasing by the season. Also due to better quality CF cough forcing clubs's hands cough to integrate or lose them. We are seeing more and more 1BL and 2BL clubs wanting to integrate CFs and younger ones are doing very well in 3rd Liga-RL super early too. the one who should have less issues in CF dev is France tbh, since they are all about dev/sell of domestic players, so they prioritize French players. But a lot of the French CFs are bombing outside of Ligue 1. Ligue 1 isn't even a great league tbh, some might do well in 1BL but flopping in the other 3 big 4. an issue with Brazil/Argentina, how strong are those 2 leagues and just because you do well there doesn't mean you'll pan out in Europe. Not helped that Brazil, Argentina and Pengland their CFs seem to be majority in 170s-early 180s, a lack of variety. Every time I see Pengland youth CFs, too many in that bracket. I'm not against short CFs but you need a mix and yeah short CFs are at risk at being shoved to AM/W. Especially if they have speed/dribbling in their arsenal. final question mark is all the big countries, how many of them have training that focus on right overall package? Spain for me always come off as CFs who lack key elements to become Elite CFs for example. Its like none of the countries are able to train properly CFs who have allround complete game that pan out. They are training CFs that are everything but complete CFs, whether its poachers, speed/dribbling, classical, etc. Some countries seem fixated on classical CFs but those are useless, okay big/physical and good with head....is that all??? I wouldn't assume how much time Kane has, all it takes is 1 major injury and he could be done for. Kane is same age as Fullkrug which is ironic because everywhere online people always talk about how Germany can only use Fullkrug limited time before we move on....but Kane is no different.
-02 M Kerber continues to be linked with higher than 3rd Liga like 1BL-2BL but his club Saarbrucken wants to keep him. https://www.liga3-online.de/fcs-kaempft-um-batz-gnaase-wohl-bei-rwe-auf-dem-zettel/ -02 M Breithaupt might or might not move to 1BL Augsburg. Same story every fricking Summer, 2BL clubs overprice player and 1BL balk at price because they want to be cheapskates but spend more on foreign players at every chance,LOL. https://www.liga-zwei.de/ksc-platzt-der-wechsel-von-tim-breithaupt-zum-fc-augsburg/ -Koln cough Baumgart cough continue to be a terrrrrrible club for youth players. So they have no plans for 03 M/RB Castrop who was XI on 2BL FCN loan and FCN is interested in activating purchase option while 1BL Hoffenheim is also interested in him. https://www.liga-zwei.de/1-fc-nuernberg-jens-castrop-ueber-koeln-zur-tsg-1899-hoffenheim/ its always truly amazing how wasteful 1BL clubs are. And loans are no longer about gaining match practice to return but to sell players...... -04 GK Lubik (yes one of the German-Pole GKs) signs pro contract at 1BL Augsburg. I guess this means that 01 GK Klein is likely FINALLY leaving. Und wenn wir schon dabei sind, hauen wir einfach noch einen raus 😜 Nachwuchstorhüter Marcel #Lubik erhält einen Profivertrag bis 2026 plus Option. Wir freuen uns auf die gemeinsame Zeit! 💪🏻 pic.twitter.com/04302aZCLJ— FC Augsburg (@FCAugsburg) June 1, 2023 -following 04 CF Wagner's stupid Bayern II transfer, now 2 more 03 W Berisha (poached) and 04 M Dell'Erba move to Bayern II. Stupid, both were 1st prospects at Augsburg but Augsburg continues to be garbage club for Academy so more and more bailing. What I'm hoping is that these transfers will allow the promising Bayern II players to bail in Summer. Servus Dion, Servus Davide! 👋Der #FCBayern hat mit Dion Berisha (20) und Davide Dell'Erba (19) zwei Spieler für die #FCBAmateure verpflichtet.

Interview with Moerstedt and Herrmann previewing tomorrows Euro u17 final v France. https://www.dfb.de/news/detail/wir-haben-gute-chancen-den-titel-zu-holen-252006/ WE HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF GETTING THE TITLE The German U 17 juniors have made it and are in the final for the European Championship after five consecutive victories. Offensive football, a lot of speed and passion - and the spectacular 5:3 (1:2) in the semi-final against Poland was the highlight so far. In the European Championship final, the team of DFB coach Christian Wück will play against France in Budapest on Friday (from 8 p.m., live on uefa.tv). Before the duel, the two attackers Max Moerstedt and Charles Herrmann talk to DFB.de about the special mentality of the team and the final opponent. DFB.de: First of all, congratulations on the final! Both of you managed to score your first European Championship goal in the semi-final against Poland. What was the game like from your point of view? Max Moerstedt: The first half was very broken. We didn't really get into the game. We lost many duels and duels that were fifty-fifty. But we knew that we could trust in our strengths, even if we were back in arrears. Everyone believed in it, which is why we could still turn the thing in the second half. Charles Herrmann: The game was really not easy, because the Poles really delivered. But I never doubted the victory. I am very happy about my goal. That gives confidence again for the final. We are absolutely ready for Friday. DFB.de: Do you actually have games without a spectacle? Moerstedt: The neutral spectators probably like our games. For us as a team, this is really always nerve-wracking. We are actually trying to make the games normal, but sometimes it gets out of hand. Herrmann: But this is also a quality that we can deal with such situations and have a solution for every situation. I think our games are attractive to watch. DFB.de: Your coaches and fellow players always emphasise the mentality of your team. Is this just a question of character, or did it also play a greater role in the preparation for the tournament? Moerstedt: I think that everyone has to have a good basic mentality to survive here. But we already pull each other extremely high, that distinguishes us. Everyone here fights for everyone. Herrmann: Over time, the mentality of each individual has improved. Not everyone had the same mentality from the beginning. There are players who have taken the lead. I also tried to always give 100 percent and gas in order to pull the team along. This is how the mentality in our team has grown. DFB.de: You have won every game at the European Championship so far. What is your key to success? Moerstedt: We have grown closely together as a team. We help and support each other everywhere. We don't let our heads hang and always trust in our strengths. Everyone is individually strong in their position. Put together, this is simply a great construct. Herrmann: It was important that we believed at the beginning of the tournament that we could win the European Championship. We believe in our qualities, and every player trusts everyone. That's the key. DFB.de: France is now waiting for you in the final. You know the team well, you have already played against each other in the group stage. In addition, you have been sharing the hotel since the beginning of the tournament. What kind of game and mood do you expect? Moerstedt: In the end, it is fate that we were in the same hotel in both Debrecen and Budapest. But everything is relaxed between both camps, so no bad blood. Of course, the French have an open bill with us and will blow everything in to win the game. But I think that if we leave everything on the pitch, tickle out the last percentages and bring our game to the pitch as in the preliminary round, we have a good chance of winning the title. Our families and fans will hopefully create a great atmosphere in the stadium. And in Germany, hopefully, as many people as possible will support us. The team also bears this. Herrmann: The French are very ball-safe and play very fast. But we have confidence in ourselves, so I firmly believe that we will win the game. For this, however, we not only have to give 100 percent, but even more. In any case, it will be an exciting game. Therefore, we are happy about any support from Germany.
according to reports, 04 AM/W Kaygin who rejected Mainz pro contract looking like Austrian 1st Rapid Wien transfer, a club headed to Europe. makes sense and it seems like 04 W Gruda is the one looking for integration -02 AM/W Nebel 2 year loan to 2BL until 2024 -03 AM/W Bobzien, unknown what's next -04 AM/W Kaygin looks headed to Austrian 1st -04 W Gruda, looking like 1BL integration -05 W Bierschenk, looking like the next one to prop up in future. Likely to play U19 next season though
finally official, 02 RB Rosenboom signs pro contract with 2BL Kiel moving from Bremen II where he was a 1st prospect. 2nd confirmed 02-03 RBs with 1BL-2BL-1st Abroad level for next season. Next up is likely 03 RB/LB/DM Bruckner. Moin Lasse! 😊Wir verpflichten Lasse Rosenboom aus der U23 von @werderbremen. Der 21-jährige Verteidiger unterschreibt einen Vertrag bis 2026. ✍🏼Alle Infos ⏩ https://t.co/hqOe0Tx2T0_#KielAhoi pic.twitter.com/pwJ19gQqOp— Holstein Kiel (@Holstein_Kiel) June 1, 2023 LASSE ROSENBOOM NEW AT KSV KSV Holstein defender Lasse Rosenboom is committed to the new season. The 21-year-old comes to the Förde from Bremen and signs a contract until June 30, 2026. Born in Aurich, he was trained in the youth academy of SV Werder Bremen. Last season, the 1.90 meter tall Rosenboom played 27 games for Werder's U23s in the Regionalliga Nord. In March 2018, the right-footed player made his debut in the U16 junior national team of the DFB, a year later he took part in the U17 European Championship in Ireland. Last year he was nominated for six international matches for the DFB U20 juniors. "Lasse Rosenboom is a young, talented player who still has room for improvement," says Uwe Stöver, sporting director of KSV. “He can be used in several positions and in different systems for us. We are convinced that he has the potential to take the next step with us.” Lasse Rosenboom is looking forward to his new task: "I am grateful for the trust and the opportunity to take the next step here in Kiel. The good discussions with those responsible gave me the feeling that this was the right decision. In the past, Kiel has relied on young players who have developed very well. I would also like to follow this path, develop myself personally and help the team and the club to be successful together.”
04 M Worl who was XI in 3rd Liga 1860 Munich moves to 2BL H96. Der erste #H96-Neuzugang in diesem Sommer heißt Marius #Wörl. Der deutsche Juniorennationalspieler kommt vom @TSV1860 ablösefrei nach #Hannover. ✍️Herzlich willkommen! 🤗#NiemalsAllein ⚫️⚪️💚https://t.co/8fGoukFQvP— Hannover 96 (@Hannover96) June 1, 2023 FREE TRANSFER: 96 SIGNED MARIUS WÖRL FROM 1860 MUNICH The first 96 signing this summer has now been confirmed: Marius Wörl is moving from third division club TSV 1860 Munich to Hannover 96. The 19-year-old midfielder is coming to Maschsee on a free transfer. The German junior international receives a contract until 2026. Born in Gosseltshausen in Upper Bavaria between Ingolstadt and Munich, Wörl worked in the youth department of TSV 1860 from 2018 to 2022 and was previously active for his youth club TSV Rohrbach and FC Bayern. At the age of 18, the defensive midfielder made his professional debut for the Munich Lions away to Erzgebirge Aue in September last year. Shortly thereafter, he also made his debut in the German U19 national team, for which he made two appearances during the course of the season. At 1860 Munich, Wörl made nine appearances in the U19 Bundesliga last season, in which he scored two goals and provided two more goals, as well as 18 games in the 3rd division and recorded three assists. Mann: "With him we will consistently continue on our way" "Marius is a player with a lot of potential. We've had him on our list for a long time," says 96 sports director Marcus Mann. "With him, we are consistently continuing on our path of focusing on young talents with prospects. In the second half of the season, Marius established himself in the starting eleven at 1860 Munich. For his age, he has come a long way in his development. The leap into the 2 We already trust him in the league, but it can also be an option for him to be loaned out again for the coming season in order to gain match practice." There was also talk of a loan back to Wörl's previous club 1860 Munich, but no agreement was reached. Wörl: "The right feeling from the start" "In the talks with Marcus Mann and Stefan Leitl, I was given an impressive impression of how the club would like to work with me and accompany my development," says Marius Wörl, pleased about the signing at Hannover 96. "I had the right feeling from the start that I can take the next step at Hannover 96. This season in particular there have been enough examples to show that 96 is a very good address for young players."
Summer transfer market opens in July and we have already seen so many transfers happen. More will happen too, gonna be long Summer for transfers and loaning....
next 05 gets pro contract in 05 W Janisch of 2BL FCN. FCN is so lazy this is 2nd time where pro contracts for youth are in same announcement as adult transfers, LOL. ℹ Alle Infos zum Transfer von Ivan #Marquez sowie zur Vertragsverlängerung eines #FCNNLZ-Talents findet ihr hier 👉 https://t.co/T5664ogLMi#fcn https://t.co/6CvNiuD7UH— 1. FC Nürnberg (@1_fc_nuernberg) June 1, 2023 Homegrown Tim Janisch extended 1. FC Nürnberg is also tying up one of its top talents from its own perspective squad: Tim Janisch has been playing in the club’s youth team since July 1, 2016 and will continue to lace up his football boots for the club in the years to come. The midfielder's contract has been extended on a long-term basis. Janisch from Wendelstein came to 1. FC Nürnberg seven years ago and has since been an integral part of all FCN youth teams. The attacking winger appeared in 14 out of a possible 16 games in the U19 Bundesliga this season, scoring six goals (one assist). Olaf Rebbe: “The fact that we have to retain and develop our top talent at the club in the long term is a path that has no alternative. If Tim continues to step on the gas like before, then he will soon be more than just a training guest with the pros.” Tim Janisch: "I'm very happy about the contract extension, but I also know that it shouldn't be the end yet. I really want to justify the trust that has been placed in me.”
00 RB Vagnoman scores in Relegation Playoff as Stuttgart is up 3-0 in Leg 1 so far. https://streamin.me/v/98c682c2 looks like its all but likely Stuttgart survive 1BL and more 2BL for HSV. HSV staying in 2BL might make it easier for their youth to breakthrough. As for Stuttgart, trash club who love to screw their own players, they have to start doing something soon with 2005s.
If one fused the 2005 U17 Euro Squad+2006 U17 Euro Squad -GK=Seimen, Schmitt, Goller -LB=Azevedo, Kabar -CB=Buchmann, Fritschi, Jeltsch, Dal -RB=Moreira -M=Bischof, Ulrich, Raebiger, Di Benedetto, Ouedraogo -AM/W=Wanner, Ibrahimovic, Krattenmacher, Darvich, Herrmann -CF=Weiper, Pejcinovic, Brunner another option would be to axe of the 4 05 Ms and add 1 06 M. Sucks couldn't add super super sub Ramsak of one is making 23 man squad. of course there are a SHIT TON of other 2005 but this is about ones who made U17 Euro. For example, Aseko, Becker, Posadas etc missed U17 Euro to injury and then Baum/Maza etc only gained relevance from U18. Nevermind all the lost talent to poaching too. U17 Euro of 2005 had some blunder call ups -we called up rated Hoffmann from Hertha but Klemens is MORE rated at Hertha from the 2. -we called up Likaj who lost all relevance to Barthel who is also a 05 CB. Barthel started to get his 1st call ups in U18 too which has made Likaj irrelevant at both Schalke U19+DFB U18. -Lubach got call up benefitting from Aseko, Posadas etc being injured. -Manuba wasn't impressive at RB and now like 3-4 RBs have all moved ahead of him always find it interesting when dfb calls up players from club X only for player of same age group and position to overtake the player. Happens over and over too.

A NEWCOMER, MANY FAMILIARIES: DI SALVO APPOINTS TEMPORARY EURO Squad DFB coach Antonio Di Salvo has announced his provisional squad for the U21 European Championship in Romania and Georgia (June 21 to July 8, 2023). On June 10th, 26 players will travel to the training camp in Prad (South Tyrol). The U21 coaching team then has until the evening of June 14 to report the official, final 23-man squad to UEFA. "For two years we've been working towards this tournament together with the players, the coaching team and the staff, and we're really looking forward to it," says Di Salvo, who is about to win his first U21 EURO as head coach. "Now it's about getting the team, which I'm really looking forward to, into the best possible shape step by step and over many training sessions." Weiper new, Schade at first with the A-Team New to the team is 18-year-old offensive player Nelson Weiper (1. FSV Mainz 05), about whom Toni Di Salvo says: "We are very excited about Nelson Weiper, who has developed extremely well in Mainz. During the second half of the season in showed his potential to the professional team. He also played a major role in Mainz winning the German A-Junior Championship." Kevin Schade (FC Brentford) will initially be part of the senior national team and will travel to South Tyrol after the game against Ukraine on June 12 (from 6 p.m., live on ZDF). With Youssoufa Moukoko (Borussia Dortmund) and Josha Vagnoman (VfB Stuttgart), two other players who last played for Hansi Flick's team are returning to the U21s. "We're happy to have the three guys back in the team as important pillars for the European Championship," says Di Salvo. "The home EM 2024 and the preparation for it has a very high priority for the entire DFB, so Hansi and I exchanged ideas particularly intensively before this nomination." DFB sporting director Rudi Völler says: "The fact that there are four players in the squad for the senior national team who could also take part in the U21 EURO is a tribute to the youth work in the association and in particular to the coaches who are involved in the development of the players were involved. It also speaks for the very good cooperation between Hansi Flick and Toni Di Salvo - that shows above all the personalities Kevin Schade. I am firmly convinced that with this squad we are well prepared for the U21 European Championship. Me I wish the boys every success and look forward to supporting them there." "Grow even closer together as a team before the tournament" Now the focus is on the 26 players who will start preparing for the European Championship in Prato on June 10th. "In the training camp, everyone gets the opportunity to show themselves," says Di Salvo. "At the same time, we want to grow even closer together as a team before the tournament. True to our tournament motto #MOREVONUNS, we will work together to get a few more percentages out of ourselves in the areas of team spirit, willingness and enthusiasm. Our goal is to start the European Championship successfully , to develop further and to qualify for the Olympic Games in Paris." During the training camp (June 10th to 18th), the German U21s will play two friendlies: On Monday, June 12th (from 6 p.m.), there will be a clash with a South Tyrol selection in Prato, to which the U21s will send their fans invites. On Friday, June 16, the game will be played in camera against Switzerland, also a participant in the European Championship. About a week later, on June 22 (from 6 p.m., live on Sat.1), the DFB team will start the European Championship against Israel. The other German opponents in Group C are the Czech Republic on June 25 (from 6 p.m., live on Sat.1) and England on June 28 (from 6 p.m., live on Sat.1). All first and second place finishers in the four groups qualify for the quarter-finals.
