-07 CF Kegni gets poached by Dortmund.......I still don't get how this club always lures players....

Borussia Dortmund has signed U17 striker Pharell Kegni from 1. FC Nürnberg. The striker, who scored 18 goals in the U17 Bundesliga last season, has already signed a contract until 2027.

-confirmed that 02 W Obuz returns to 2BL Koln next season. Should be his chance to breakthrough relevant pros next season.

-LOL 2BL KSC is looking to poach 04 M Waschenbach from 2BL Koln. That's what happens when Koln blocks most of their youth. Must be frustrating to lose any player to rival in same league. If Waschenbach bails then more reason the idiots at Koln NEED TO UP 06 M Harchaoui otherwise risk losing him too.

-Germany U18 B/C team drew Denmark 1-1.
Goal by Alfa-Ruprecht

 

-THE FANTASTIC Dortmund Youth Work continues as they annouce that
03 RB Semic, 03 M Lutke-Frie, 04 W Bamba, 04 GK Kirsch, 04 CB Husseck's contracts will not be renewed. They overall axed or not renewing 13 players.

Bamba is nonesensical with 1st team he got 3 caps this season in 1BL but always bench with II. Has been said that even Terzic didn't really get it, LOL. Lutke-Frie is always injured and recently finally back but this club has 0 interest to integrate their own Academy and already piling up Ms for next season. Kirsch too many GKs and that Dortmund kept Lotka for WAY too long blocked everyone else. Husseck a lot of injuries issues but even then was never gonna get chances as they would have blocked him for older players. Semic, imagine Dortmund convinced him years ago to stay with them to block a 2BL HSV transfer only for them to screw him at every chance....

NONE of the Academy youth even the foreign ones even stick around in II. II just playing guys who are more like 23 y/o too.

and does one have to wonder why a 05 M Lubach wants to bail from club? LOL.

-on topic of 06 CF Brunner with transfer of 07 CF Kegni to Dortmund U19 next season......I don't think he's needed anymore to play Dortmund U19 next season. Dortmund has now like 4-5 CFs for next season. Its been said that Kegni is Tullberg's dream player etc. Brunner has outgrown Youth shit and would just block dev of others. So yeah, we could see Brunner leave the Youth crap after the U19 Championship Final next week. Whether 1st team next, II next or bails perm who knows.

-03 GK P.Schulze has interest from 3rd Liga Verl and others for next season.

Stuttgart fans still seem to think/prop up/salivate about
05 GK Seimen, 05 M Ulrich, 05 M di Benedetto as players they see making the 1st team perm in future.

one also sees them propping 02 M Meyer.
man now that's a player who YEARS ago was being prepped for 1st team in 1BL along with 02 AM Egloff and 03 CB Suver (poached By Croatia) but what happened=3/3 DESTROYED BY INJURIES. This is main reason why nobody has emerged at Stuttgart besides them being A-Holes about Academy is the older propsects all got wrecked by injuries.

its been said that Meyer's comeback from injury and XI in last 5 matches made huge contribution for Stuttgart II to win RL Sudwest and get promoted.

now its about how he plays/devs in 3rd Liga next year, will likely determine his future.

I recall Meyer looked good in every single 1st team friendly too. The potential is there.

the main question is gonna be whether Stuttgart will open 1st team door or block them. For example if Angelo Stiller bails in Summer 2025, if you block them with a transfer In, now that veers towards nonesensical BS. That would be the right time for someone to take his spot in 1st team.

I mean less we forget that Hoeness is one who brought Stiller to 1BL Hoffenheim directly from where???..........Bayern II in 3rd Liga. So for Hoeness (also brought Stiller with him when he became Stuttgart coach) he shouldn't have problem with upping players from 3rd Liga.

 

LOLOLOL how is Worns NOT fired??? imagine DFB extended with him prior to flopping in Elite Round Qualifiers.

Germany U19 lost to Denmark 5-1
XI=Hermann - Baum (K), Barthel, Atom, Münz, Wagner - Ndikom, Njike Nana, Grüger - Popp, Torsiello.

so basically
-GK=Herrmann
-LWB=Wagner
-CB=Barthel, Atom, Munz
-RWB=Baum
-M=Nana, Gruger
-Attack=Torsiello (scored the only goal and it was his DFB debut too.), Popp

WTF kind of XI is that???? this guy continues to obsess with back 5. None of these coaches want to admit that back 5 NEVER works for Germany. In fact we concede more with back 5 than with back 4, LOL.

and of course this is nowhere near best German XI for 05s. In fact, ONLY Baum would make an XI of the best German 05s.

 

also with 04 AM/W Diehl moving to 1BL Stuttgart next season which is a CL club. This will make him a contender to get U21 call up.

yeah how long can di Salvo ignore the career progress of 04-onwards players???

 

LOL troll poster getting mental breakdown due to the U19 loss. Like its a C-team playing a friendly and he's going on rant and blaming everything on Torsiello not being a big and physical CF, LOL what???

when you lose that badly, it means NOTHING clicked, NOTHING worked. It has nothing to do with big/physical CF or not.

reminds me when Bayern II were in 3rd Liga in their last season and Arp was playing everyone shat on him. LOL. When nothing works for the team, nothing the CF can do if the whole XI is not working and if your not getting much chances created. Yeah ******** you Arp, you should have dribbled past 6-7 players solo and scored. What a shitty and pathetic CF!!!!

but CFs always get all the blame for any Ls. If the behind the CF doesn't work, then the attack ain't gonna work.

but what does one expect from a deranged person. Also this was Torsiello's DFB debut too.

Pejcinovic was our CF during qualifiers and ended up U19 Euro Qualifiers TOP Scorer but it wasn't enough to qualify with the B/C team.

makes no difference if the issue is the coach and lineup constantly has like 2-3 max attackers and everyone else is Defensive player.

like Pejcinovic+Bischof did as much as possible but 2 players aren't enough to carry a team.

Worns is one of the most incompetent most recent YNT coaches. Like he's really bad coach.

 

What Worns has done with a very talented age group is shameful. I mean even without a few of our top 05's there is still the talent there to do better then fail to qualify and then get destroyed by Denmark.

Ultimately it doesn't really matter I guess, main thing is club training and hopefully we will see good progress for a lot of 05's next season. Looking at CF's, Weiper hopefully looks set for breakout 1BL season with Mainz and Pejcinovic will hopefully at least get a decent loan and make first team breakthrough somewhere, even if it's 2BL.

 

I believe if we played A-team 05s we qualify and win U19 Euro.

with B/C Team we could have qualified if he wasn't so defensively obsessed and benching talented players for more Defensive players, LOL. Like its clear he was aiming on semi-bus parking+trying to grind out results instead of winning matches. Although the Croatia match unfortunate that we conceded 2 goalazos to a team that we should have beaten. So Worns's shitty tactics ALMOST worked, LMAO.

I mean troll poster was shitting on Worns for not calling up Rolke of Hertha, I mean Rolke was busy scoring 3 goals in 2 games vs Dortmund U19 in Championship SF. How would Worns call him up???? Weiper just came back from long term injury and Pejcinovic was being rested along with other A-teamers. But yeah Weiper will breakthrough 1BL with Mainz. Shame that Wolfsburg sucks and still not sure how they lured Pejcinovic to their club......they can't even integrate a CF that dominates in Germany and International footy NT, carried Germany u19+Wolfsburg U19 singledhandly too.......a top talent CF......he's 100% bound to have TONS of 2BL level interest. I hope can go to a club like Furth or KSC, both clubs have shown that they play CF/forwards in XI all season and on loan like they did with Lemperle+Matanovic. But more Wolfsburg sleep on it the more the chances to go to those clubs will be gone......

in fact from A-team only Baum fits this from entire squad called up. Nobody else would fit A-team, rest of squad is more C list, with very few B list players.

but if we take the XI
Hermann - Baum (K), Barthel, Atom, Münz, Wagner - Ndikom, Njike Nana, Grüger - Popp, Torsiello.

Baum=breakingthrough 1BL Frankurt
Munz+Wagner=moving to 2BL Furth
Ndikom=pro contract and debut at 2BL H96
Popp=breakingthrough 2BL Furth
Torsiello=breakingthrough next season 2BL Darmstadt

as of now that is it

 

-02 CF Scherhant wants to leave 2BL Hertha but Hertha wants to convince him to stay and hope that future coach will convince him to stay. If he does leave they will likely ask for decent amount of $$$.
https://www.liga-zwei.de/hertha-bsc-derry-scherhant-will-weg-smail-prevljak-bleiben/

-02 AM Egloff is linked with 1BL Promotion Playoff Candidate FD. I'm curious to see what happens if FD goes up to 1BL? What do they do with the 03 CF Schmidt (Summer Transfer), 03 W Rossmann (Summer Transfer), 04 M Bunk+05 RB Savic+05 M Suso from Academy.
https://www.liga-zwei.de/fortuna-duesseldorf-lilian-egloff-als-moeglicher-tanaka-ersatz/

-2BL KSC have rejected millions from Wolfsburg to poach 04 GK Weiss who they claim is best 04 GK in Germany. Also that they seem to have no interest in listening to offers for him. Interesting that they seem more potential in him than Backhaus.

-Bayern needs to get a ********ing life, they want 05 AM/W Krattenmacher and then loan him out to 2BL Ulm......how about letting him be and go pro without being a loan player? Not every player should be on loan and not every German youth needs to be tied to Bayern and their loan army.

and yeah Adeyemi, Pejcinovic, Krattenmacher etc are all Bayern youth DUMPED out of the club too. This club is notorious for writting off players early too.

The name of Unterhaching's attacking midfielder Maurice Krattenmacher is being mentioned at Bayern again.

TIM MÜLLER RECEIVES LICENSE PLAYER CONTRACT
19-year-old U23 left-back has signed a contract until 2026

Tim Müller has signed his first professional player contract with 1. FSV Mainz 05. The 19-year-old left-back and current U23 player, who became German A-junior champion with the U19 in 2023, will receive a contract until 2026.

Sports director Martin Schmidt says: "Tim was promoted from the A-juniors to the U23s last summer, mastered the transition from junior to men's football well and became a regular player in the defensive line in his first year. He has all the qualities of one modern full-back, so we are looking forward to taking the next steps in his development together with him here in Mainz and once again providing a talent from our youth performance center with a licensed player contract.”

 

LOL that 04 LB Pool
Finkgrafe (1BL XI), Rothe (2BL XI, Promoted to 1BL, while on loan), Zehnter (2BL XI), Ba (Austrian 1st loan, only managed like 3 XIs not helped by injuries), Ullrich (41BL Caps this season, got derailed by injuries), T.Muller (1BL Pro Contract), Jarju (1BL Pro Contract, needs loan), Igboanugo (has trained/friendlies with 2BL HSV. According to reports he's getting poached by 1BL Bremen who see potential in him to breakthrough 1st team), Babitsch (has trained/friendlies with 2BL, we could see him in 3rd Liga next season as H96 II are in promotion playoff), Reichardt (has trained/friendlies with Stuttgart 1st team. Stuttgart II got 3rd Liga Promotion. Also CB too)

 

Some Updates on 1BL Stuttgart
-on 05 GK Seimen
Dennis Seimen, who is considered the future number 1 at VfB, was originally supposed to be loaned out. After Stuttgart U21's promotion to the third division, this plan is off the table for now.

Dennis Seimen has been in the Bundesliga squad for VfB seven times in the last two seasons, including in both relegation games last year and once in the DFB Cup. The 18-year-old was denied any missions. However, these are predicted for the goalkeeper talent and are undoubtedly promised by those responsible. Exactly when is unclear, especially since the Swabians do not want to take any risks with qualifying for the Champions League in view of the increased demands nationally and internationally.

Seimen should be carefully introduced to the challenges. In the shadow of the experienced Alexander Nübel, who will be in Stuttgart on loan until at least 2025 and possibly until 2026 according to his contract. The question remains about the necessary match practice for the young professional. The native of Heilbronn, who played 23 games with the U21 in the regional league, should possibly get this abroad. With VfB II's promotion to the third division, the idea of a loan was put to rest.


-on the plan for the II team in 3rd Liga, LOL kicker is 100% disengenous, the 8-1 L was because they were down 10 men, 6/8 goals conceded with 10 men.

Despite their future membership in the third division, the Swabians want to continue to focus primarily on their in-house talent. Coach Markus Fiedler achieved the unplanned and certainly not expected coup of promotion in the first year of his term in office. “Before the season, none of us expected this,” explains Bundesliga coach Sebastian Hoeneß, who welcomes the higher bar for the talent. This offers “the chance that developments may happen a little faster and that experiences that are particularly valuable can be gained.”

At the same time, we are pleased to have a promising young coach in Fiedler at the club. The 38-year-old, who gained his first experience in the U-team of TSG Hoffenheim and was promoted to the U-21 via VfB's U-17 in the summer of 2023, represents courageous and attractive football. With 78 goals, the Swabians scored the most goals in the league. Pure attack that can sometimes backfire. Like on matchday 8, when they lost 8-1 at FC Homburg.

Nothing changed in the approach of continuing to rely on the offensive and, above all, on the talents from our own academy. And nothing should change in the future. Even with the risk of avoiding relegation. “First and foremost, the second team is about player development and secondarily about team goals that you want to achieve,” said Hoeneß.

07 GK Herdes moves to 2BL EB from Dortmund U17. Damn Dortmund U17 is losing loads of talents. Guy was #1 as Dortmund U17 won U17 Championship.....

Leon Herdes joins Eintracht Braunschweig
Goalkeeper comes from Borussia Dortmund

Goalkeeper Leon Herdes will join Eintracht Braunschweig from the coming 2024/2025 season. The 17-year-old goalkeeper is moving from Borussia Dortmund's U17 team to the Lions and has signed a contract until June 30, 2027. Herdes will be part of the extended professional squad and will initially get match practice in the U19 team.

Leon Herdes (March 7, 2007) spent his entire youth career with Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. As the regular goalkeeper (25 games, 15 of which without conceding a goal) for BVB's U17s, the keeper won the German championship this season and defeated Bayer Leverkusen with his team in the final.

“Leon has a lot of potential in the goalkeeper position. We are very happy to have convinced him, a top talent, to join us. It is important that we find a good mix of training sessions with the professionals, match practice with the U19s and a responsible approach to his school obligations for his sporting and personal development. “We want to and will support Leon holistically and gradually integrate him into men’s football,” said Benjamin Kessel, delighted about his commitment.

Leon Herdes adds: “We had very good discussions in Braunschweig. The long-term plan presented convinced me, my family and my advisor and we see a good development path in the transition to professional football. I’m looking forward to my time at Eintracht and to a new, exciting chapter in my young career.”

Gruda looking like a player who might ditch U21 next season. Who cares let him ditch and give us Musiala, Wirtz, Adeyemi, Gruda in SNT next season.

U21 doesn't need him and players like Wanner+Diehl can take over.

that is fun part of having so many promising next gen AM/W that are emerging.

 

gonna be interesting to see what happens, as of now 2BL FD will end up in 1BL next season and Bochum will end up in 2BL.

Bochum reviving II for next season but like 5th division and 1st team in 2BL could make it easier for their talents to jump to 1st team. Will be curious to see how they proceed on that front.

while FD to 1BL could be iffy its good news for 02 CB Siebert and 02 AM Egloff (if he transfers) but how much of a negative will this be for 04 CB Quarshie (he's on loan from 1BL Hoffenheim until Summer 2025. Its one thing to be on 2BL loan its another if the club is in 1BL could make it more difficult to get game time) and 03 CF Schmidt+03 W Rossmann who are both Summer arrivals. Will this screw chances for full breakthrough for 04 M Bunk+05 RB Savic+05 M Suso?

-so reports of loan interest from 2BL-Austrian 1st-Swiss 1st for 05 M Ulrich........Stuttgart rejected ALL 1BL clubs who wanted perm transfer.......so let me get this straight you have 0 interest in integrating a top talent but don't want to lose him perm to other 1BL clubs. This is why German footy is just stupid all around. Most clubs are like this no interest to integrate their own players and block 1BL clubs who would be interested.
https://www.ligainsider.de/laurin-u...ttgarts-laurin-ulrich-weckt-interesse-358046/

" In the future, Ulrich will be seen in the Stuttgart professional team."


******** Stuttgart these A-Holes had the chance to have a REAL Jung Wild 2.0 but just block every player and 0 interest in integration.

 

its like Wanner if he was at almost any 1BL club he would have brokenthrough instead at Bayern they dump him on 2BL loan and because Bayern doesn't give a shit about 2BL, they want 1BL next.

Clubs like Stuttgart because of 0 integration and they haven't integrated anyone in AGES too, they tend to act like Bayern in mentality. NOoooooo the jump is tooo big, more like they pile up transfers and block their own youth. So then there is 0 room for such players. Its clear that if Ulrich wasn't at Stuttgart he very likely would have brokenthrough...............

its funny that every top club in Germany wants Gruda but like majority of 1BL would NEVER have integrated him like Mainz did and statistically speaking Gruda looks like one of best Ws in 1BL and this is his 1st ever 1BL season. Shows how stupid German footy is. Nobody wants to do the integration work. And it also shows how soooooo many are just at the wrong clubs tbh.

and same reason why every 1BL club fight each other for any successful 2BL young player because none want to do the work themselves but will fight when they see others do it for them.

I'm not a fan of Ulrich loan because continues to show blocking of own youth. Continues to show how even top talents don't get integrated in 1BL (Pejcinovic at Wolfsburg and sooo many others also show this).

but at end of day, Stuttgart has SHIT youth integration. NO WAY they would have integrated both di Benedetto and Ulrich. di Benedetto after half a season injured (annoyingly after making his 1BL debut) is more likely one to stay next season. So if we get a scenerio where

-Ulrich goes on 2BL-1st Abroad loan and plays XI all season
-di Benedetto plays 3rd Liga XI+1st team chances.

come 2025-2026 BOTH could be part of 1st team but if both stay, 10000000000000000% sure that would 1 be screwed over if not both......... 1BL clubs have also shown that most CANNOT integrate too many players in same position. 1 MAX is best you can hope for when it comes to direct jump.

also if Ulrich goes on loan he's not gonna take game time from the Meyer, Laupheimer, Munst etc.

 

reports mention that 05 M Gruger might get pro contract until 2028 at 2BL S04. Would be 3rd 05 with pro contract after 05 GK Podlech+05 LB Becker and so far 2 06 pro contracts with 06 RB Bulut+06 M Ouedraogo.

I guess that a player like 05 CB Barthel will likely have to impress in II to get chances. He's only relevant 05 left.

if Gruger gets pro contract, for 05 Ms looking like (I'm ignoring caps)
-Ulrich+di Benedetto=pro contract at 1BL Stuttgart
-Bischof=pro contract at 1BL Hoffenheim
-Raebiger=pro contract at 1BL Frankfurt
-Aseko=pro contract at 1BL Bayern
-Schulz=pro contract at 1BL Mainz
-Amoako=pro contract at 1BL Wolfsburg
-Kojic=pro contract at 2BL Paderborn
-Neto=pro contract at RB Salzburg
-Suso=pro contract at 2BL FD.....on track to become 1BL FD
-Klemens=pro contract at 2BL Hertha.........used to be a CB. Since he's fixed XI, he's already attracted 1BL interest. One would expect Summer 2025 with 2 seasons in 2BL XI under his belt will end up in 1BL.
-Marino=pro contract at 1BL Freiburg? Was XI all season in 3rd Liga II and with them going down, one would assume he either breakthrough 1st team or ends up on loan next season. RL would be downgrade and won't help him improve. And yeah he's a 1st team prospect too.
-Lubach=looks to be leaving Dortmund and likely to end up somewhere where I assume he'll get pro contract. He's helping himself by playing role in Dortmund U19 Championship final where there is going to be more attention towards aka scouting/other clubs watching.
-Gruger=pro contract at 2BL S04????

I mean LOL, already 14 names mentioned and plenty more to add. And of course X amount from this list is likely to end up on 2BL-1st Abroad loans. But who cares their U21 cycle starts in Summer 2025-onwards. Still enough time to breakthrough 1BL.

mentioned this before but 04-05 Ms are gonna be STACKED FOR M Options. And one has to take into account also 3 06s M in Ouedraogo (likely 1BL in Summer 2025), Watjen (1BL), Harchaoui (good chance might breakthrough 2BL Koln next season. Once he does who knows if Summer 2025 to 1BL is too early or not) can't be ignored either.

 

according to Bild+, Bayern is watching/scouting 03 GK Urbig as are other top 1BL clubs.

WTF does Bayern want him anyways? Isn't Nubel supposed to succeed Neuer?

Bayern is one of the most deranged clubs in Germany when it comes to youth players. Half the times they praise the Academy etc but then constantly do things that is like ******** the Academy, aka screw/block them or loan army LOL. Like all over the place.

they have 03-Schenk, 04-Hulsmann, 05-Ballis, 06-Schmitt but no lets go after GKs just because he emerged as #1 in 2BL.

Continues to highlight the German fixation of frick our own players and salivation over young players who breakthrough elsewhere cough ones that they didn't have to bother integrating themselves cough.

if Nubel is supposed to be future #1, Bayern shouldn't be looking at any of the emerging young GKs.

what I'm curious is whether another 1BL club pounces on Urbig or if he ends up back to Koln and #1 there. I feel like more 2BL just feels like waste of time, does he need 2 years and a half of 2BL????

 

LOL, can every big club just ******** off. These stupid big clubs all need to chill and wait for players to become #1 in 1BL or equivalent level. Stop being interested in players from 2BL-1st Abroad level. No point in going to big club who would make you play in their II team or loan you out. Its pointless. But we all know that the logic is more about getting X or Y now while still cheap.....

according to reports, 04 GK Backhaus who was #1 on Eredivisie loan has attracted interest from Barcelona.

Mio Backhaus hat während seiner Leihe in Volendam nachhaltig auf sich aufmerksam gemacht. Wie Sky im Transfer Update berichtet, sei der 20-Jährige auch dem FC Barcelona aufgefallen, die das #Werder-Talent für die Zukunft im Blick haben.

players like Ramaj (no longer youth), Atubolu, Urbig, Ernst, Backhaus, Weiss, Seimen are players who have TONS of domestic and International interest. But its a bad move for every single one of them even Atubolu, he only played his 1st 1BL season, needs few more years before he should even consider leaving.

even domestically there are sooooooo many more very promising GKs that most of the International clubs aren't even aware of but will be, once they emerge as #1s in future. International clubs are aware of Heide+Schmitt for impressing a LOT in U17 Euro+U17 WC and aware of Babatz+Schlieck for impressing in UEFA YL when it comes of topic of 06 GK Age Group for example. Plenty more to come too.

 

had to be him, Hoffenheim U19 wins the DFB Junioren Cup 3-2 vs Freiburg with 06 CF Moerstedt scoring the winning goal!!!

Moerstedt this season
-U17 Euro Champ
-U17 WC Champ
-U19 DFB Junioren Cup Champ
-U19 Sud/Sudwest Champ
-U19 Championship FINAL To be played next week

LOL Moerstedt's on track to win every single tourney he's played this season.

Hoffenheim are also on track to be 1st U19 team to win both League+Cup

 

forgot to add Moerstedt is also
-U19 Sud/Sudwest Top Scorer
-DFB Junioren Cup Top Scorer

 

WAIT is this true???

Sky Info: FC Barcelona is interested in a German goalkeeper: Mio Backhaus (20/ ) was scouted locally by the Catalans several times this season.

The goalkeeping talent from Werder Bremen attracted attention with outstanding performances at FC Volendam during his loan in the Eredivisie and was named the best goalkeeper of the season despite relegation.

According to Sky information, other clubs besides Barça have the 1.94m tall keeper on their list and have made specific inquiries.

In the summer, he's going back to Bremen - battle for the number 1 spot in the Werder goal or maybe a change?

Das Torwart-Talent von Werder Bremen machte während seiner Leihe in der Eredivisie mit überragend Leistungen…

I wasn't aware that he was named best GK of Eredivisie this season. Interesting to see.

Urbig+Ernst also seen as some of best GKs in 2BL especially Urbig who most saw him as best GK of 2BL this season.

and Atubolu had some up and downs which is normal for a young GK who is working his way towards stability and ended up as one of the GKs with most clean sheets in 1BL too. Played a great M34 too. Atubolu also got to play EL and got some European footy experience as well.

so yeah 4/4 of the young GKs German U21 GKs who are #1s in Relevant pros all did well this season. Like I keep saying wave of next Gen German GKs is 100% a thing and only begining as MORE will emerge besides these 4.

also what's interesting about these 4 is 4/4 are expected along with Seimen on becoming 1BL #1s soooooooooooooooooon. Like by Summer 2025 or 2026 we could see 5/5 being #1s in 1BL level.

as for Backhaus frick Barca, should go back to Bremen, he's better GK then Zetterer.

 

its interesting to see that 02 GK Gebhardt's Jahn drew 2-2 in Promotion/Relegation Playoff Leg 1.
so he's 1 W away from playing 2BL next season for 1st time. I much prefer to see Jahn in 2BL next season over the dreadful Wehen who deserve to go to 3rd Liga.

also its been said that 03 GK Noll who is on 2BL Furth loan next season and strong chance will be #1 is on track to replace 90-Baumann when he retires from 1BL Hoffenheim.

there are 2 reasons why German young GKs are emerging
1-Perfect Timing, due to others bailing/retiring/only on loan. 99% of time, its all about perfect timing for GKs, LOL.
2-Quality of GKs is a LOT higher. Like young GKs are overtaking older guys because potential and skillset is better even if lacking the experience.

-Atubolu became #1 at 1BL Freiburg because Dutch Flekken went to Pengland. Jumped from 3rd Liga to 1BL, helped that he had like 5ish caps last season with 1st team
-Backhaus is seen as future #1 at 1BL Bremen. Would go from Eredivisie loan to 1BL. Could very well become #1 in Summer.
-Noll is seen as future #1 at 1BL Hoffenheim. Would go from 2BL loan to 1BL.

I've always said that Noll has more potential than 00-Philipp and that with Baumann at 34 y/o sooooon enough somebody will replace him and chances are will be someone from Academy. Philipp stays behind to be bench GK while Noll goes to be 2BL #1=Noll is one who seen by club as being future #1, its indirect confirmation.
-Seimen is seen as future #1 at 1BL Stuttgart. Stuttgart loaned in Nubel for 3 years because they knew that Nubel full time=blocking Seimen, so constant loaning of Nubel is to buy Seimen time to be ready. With Stuttgart II in 3rd Liga next season will play pro for 1st time.

Urbig+Ernst+Weiss is basically either clubs get 1BL Promotion or they have to transfer upwards. Well 3/3 have 1BL interest already........KSC had to block 1BL for last 2 seasons from poaching Weiss. If they really want to not lose him, make him #1, he has A SHIT TON more potential and talent than Drewes. Ernst only matter of time until he goes upwards, his 1 1BL cap from last season pre-Hertha relegation=kicker XI of M34 and this season played his 1st full XI season as GK, come 2025 and more clubs will come knocking. Urbig also only matter of time 100%, can't be avoided, for him its either Summer 2024 or 2025 and he's upwards.

now will be curious to see if Gebhardt get promotion to 2BL? Will Schenk become #1 in 2BL Munster? Will Noll become #1 in 2BL? Will Weiss become #1 in 2BL? Will Krumrey+Sauter go upwards aka 2BL-1st Abroad in Summer? Etc.

reality a lot of the older GKs in Germany in 1BL-2BL are basically in that late 20s to mid 30s. There is NO better time to emerge. It was harder 5 years ago because those same GKs were 5 years younger, LOL. Also because quality of 90s GKs is NOT as strong as 00-onwards.

another wrinkle is that all of these players have pro exp whether 2BL-1st Abroad or 3rd Liga IIs. Shows that RL to 1BL jump are likely to rarely happen in future, more likely if its RL to 2BL than 1BL. Only way I see RL to 1BL is if a club goes MASS Injuries and even then most clubs are A-Holes they will play anyone but young GKs. Makes you wonder outside of 12 German signed etc why bother give pro contracts to young GKs if you have 0 trust in them????

 

05 LB Bauerle of Bayer U19 moves to 2BL Paderborn. At Bayer him and 05 CB Munz were the regular 05s in 1st team and now 2/2 moving to 2BL in Summer.


STRONG LEFT FOOT
Anton Bäuerle from Bayer 04 Leverkusen
