The article explaining Bundesliga list requirements http://www.bundesliga.com/en/liga/news/2012/0000239177.php
sounds like standard rule. still doesn't explain why Wolfsburg would add KJC's name so early when they can simply do that moments before they sell him. Leverkusen bought Emre Can today but I don't see him on that list....
The big difference is the amount of time gap (6h) and thus it limits the last second transaction madness you see in EPL and thus BL clubs erring on the listing side to avoid paperwork headaches. Also I recall there being issues on holidays or weekends where it further accelerates the closing of the window ahead of "legal" close. Leverkusen probably are only at verbal level of agreement or letter of intent level such that I suspect that you will see him in tomorrow's list. Or the DFL may have a lag between listing and posting on website. Here's the chronology of SHM's transfer: First listing: http://www.bundesliga.com/media/native/autosync/07-13-14.pdf (note that the first 2 are serial numbers... each publishing increments the first 2 digits by 1). And he's on every day until 7/10 (a month or so after announcement...) http://www.bundesliga.com/media/native/autosync/14-13-14.pdf
still odd... if this was simply a point of Koo returning from loan, i would think he would be listed in July like it is with Joseph Gyau (returned to Hoffenheim from St. Pauli). either way, i guess it simply opens the door or possibility of Koo leaving Wolfsburg.
No its closed. The transaction has already been marked as from Augsburg to Wolfsburg. Compare the prior version that I posted with the new. You can see the rightmost column (receiving club) filled in. In other words, nothing to see here. Probably some paperwork oversight.
That was a projected lineup (I thought wolfsburg was in the first wave of matches). Koo starts for real. http://espnfc.com/us/en/gamecast/statistics/id/372093/statistics.html?soccernet=true&cc=5901 http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/...tellung_karlsruher-sc-6_vfl-wolfsburg-24.html
KJC had a patented Koo ref spaz. EDIT: Koo needs to settle down. Almost lost it being too fancy in a bad spot and forced the ball just now.
The lack of Sunderland friendlies is really weird. They go to Denmark wednesday vs FC Midtjylland for last one. Lets see if JDW gets a chance (though doubtful with start of season nearing).
i think they have a friendly against Sporting CP on tuesday.. and do they really have a friendly against FC Midtjylland? Denmark season started already... edit: guess not... what a shitty preseason & prep for start of the season also, random but Ji & PCY aren't even listed in EPL's own fantasy league
ouch http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/d...gezeichen-koo-klose-helmes-31676136.bild.html Gustavo to take Koo's position if he joins Wolfsburg? difficult to understand from google translate http://www.fussballtransfers.com/bu...-vfl-wolfsburg-in-die-saison-starten-10_38683
Hecking said similar comments before the match as well. As for Gustavo, the fans want Gustavo at deepest DM, with KJC ahead and Diego in front. However, they seem to expect Hecking to try to err on defensive side and have two straight DMs with Gustavo + Medojevic / Polak. Of course, lots depends on if Gustavo even moves, let alone try to forecast Hecking
More like 4-1-1-3-1. Helmes would be on top. KJC would be further back than at FCA. With Medojevic / Polak, you'd see standard 4-2-3-1.
not what i wanted to hear. i agree with Hecking, Koo is a defensive liability (main reason why Koo + Ki combo doesn't work either for KNT in deep CM spots).
sheesh... Wolfsburg... if Gustavo does join Wolfsburg, I wonder if Koo will force a move to Mainz. he can't be happy with being a rotation/bench player. not a fan of Hecking at all...
Again, most of everything I've read from the fans want Koo + Gustavo playing at the same time so I don't see his potential arrival as anything that will trigger Koo staying or leaving. I also think that the sporting director Allofs would be one driving this deal and given his glowing Koo statements, I imagine Allofs would hope that Hecking would have Gustavo/Koo in destroyer/creator roles respectively. Now if Hecking continuously uses 2 straight defensive players, Koo may need to agitate for a move. Hopefully Koo steps up and figures things out though and such a scheme would only be used against the Bayerns of the world.
Eh, fans. Should be interesting as Hecking likes Polak & Gustavo can play as box to box type of midfielder.
