Auf geht's, Jungs: German Youth Discussion Thread Vol. V

Introducing the best German CF aka Shrimp CF, 04 CF Sanne.
U19 Nord/Nordost top scorer in 2021-2022 season
RL Nord top scorer in 2023-2024 season aka last season
1 goal in 2 2BL games

now 1 goal in 1 game in 3rd Liga, LOL, a shrimp who scores everywhere he plays. Funny because although 2BL HSV don't rate him cough Baumgart cough he did score a lot whenever he played friendlies with 1st team, LOL. From 0:42-onwards, LOL the ball crawled towards the other end but good movement beforehand.


would be hilarious if he ends up 3rd Liga top scorer or one of leading scorer. How long until 2BL H96 activate the purchase option???

-05 AM/W Wanner bagged brace in 2-1 W for 1BL Heidenheim. He's scored in almost every preseason match so far. Would be surprising if he doesn't breakthrough XI when 1BL season starts.

curious if Wanner improved his finishing. Last season if not for post, he would have bagged double digits in 2BL. So yeah could be big upcoming season for him if he can show finishing.

-04 CF Topp also continues to score in almost every game, today bagged header goal in 2-1 W for 1BL Bremen. One would think that he's making a case for himself to either be XI or 1st alternative.

 

"We have such awesome goalkeepers in the future, who will play as the #1 for Germany is the question? We currently have Seimen, Atubolu, Urbig and not to forget Max Schmitt and possibly Konsti Heide."


hold your horses, LOL. The list of GKs isn't only 5, LOL.
what about 02-Gebhardt (2BL #1), 02-Schreiber (worst ever manager, currently 3rd Liga #1 but 100% has relevant pro potential, dominated vs 1BL clubs last season in historic DFB Cup SF run), 02-Johnen (3rd Liga #1), 03-Bethke (3rd Liga #1), 03-Schenk (2BL #1), 03-Ernst (2BL #1), 03-Noll (2BL #1), 03-Kruth (2BL Bench GK, seen as future #1), 03-Krumrey (RB Salzburg need to do something with him. Currently stuck on bench because #2 is injured for awhile.....is he gonna be forced to play MORE Austrian 2nd or will he find a transfer before end of transfer market closing???), 03-P.Schulze (3rd Liga #1 on loan), 04-Feller (1BL Heidenheim need to do something with him, no idea why he's playing almost every preseason game XI. Was always rated well too. What exactly is plan with him? Are they stupid enough to make him do nothing but training for a 2nd year back to back????), 04-Kwasigroch (2BL bench GK, seen as future #1), 04-Weiss (2BL #1), 04-Backhaus (1BL Bench but soon enough will become #1), 04-Hulsmann (one seen as having relevant pro potential, given that he's #1 in 3rd Liga level on loan, can only end up upwards next Summer.), 05-Podlech (seen as future 2BL #1), 05-Goller (seen as future 2BL #1, could very well become #1 next Summer when Ernst is likely to bail), 05-Wechsel (seen as potential future 2BL #1), 06-Schlieck (likely seen as future Belgian 1st #1, he's not supposed to be with 1st team but continues to be and he's only on loan with buying option. Anderlecht have him in traveling squad for tomorrow's match.....), and list goes on and on, LOL.

speaking of 06 GKs, they are already going adult fast
-3rd Liga Level #1=Heide, Schlieck
-RL #1s=Schmitt, Blazic, Pruhs

interesting to note that Blazic was always highly rated just doubftul to how many at the time 1BL Koln can emerge as #1 but with them in 2BL and Urbig likely won't last he could potentially emerge as #1 in the next year especially if he plays XI all season in RL. Reason is that if he's playing U19 #1 all season ain't no way he jumps to 2BL but RL to 2BL is more likely. Pruhs also has 2BL pro contract and seen as having future #1 potential but likely not anytime soon, Paderborn has too many GKs to begin with while Schmitt needs to bail in Summer 2025 as he won't breakthrough Bayern, although he impressed in Bayern preseason.

Sadly Babatz who won U19 Championship with Mainz, double U17 Euro+U17 WC, and also went on historic run in UEFA YL is being forced by his club to play MORE U19, so stupid.

Lade who won U19 Championship with Hoff last season also forced for MORE U19.

I find it interesting how fans always list Schmitt+Heide but never do Schlieck......the ORIGINAL 06 #1 prior to his long term injury.......aka we won U17 Euro+U17 WC with our 2nd-3rd GK choices, LMAO. This just highlights the potential and depth of next gen GKs. Because of the accolades and trophies, Schlieck gets ignore and forgetten by most. But given his super fast progress at Anderlecht where he joined in Summer, he's showing why he was highly rated.

 

Update on CBs+RBs
-so for CBs in XI=02-Beifus, 02-Scheller, 02-Lawrence (Austrian 1st), 03-Breunig, 03-Riedel, 03-Mbi (Portuguese 1st), 04-Gechter, 04-Blank (Austrian 1st), 05-Pauli, 06-Jeltsch

-so for RBs in XI=02-Thielmann, 02-Hofmann, 02-Allgeier, 02-ter Horst, 04-Ba, 05-Baum (on loan)

imagine for RBs we went from basically 0 regular XIs last season, only towards end of season we got more RB XIs with like very few during season to now 6 XIs with start of new season. Season ain't done too or started everywhere we could get more 1st choice early seasons and more who breakthrough during season. Interesting to note that if 02-Rosenboom is XI for 1BL Kiel than 5/5 of the 02-03 RBs in relevant pros=XIs.


2BL
-02 RB Allgeier made his 2BL/XI debut for Ulm. He also assisted the lone goal for Ulm in 2-1 L.
-02 RB ter Horst made his 2BL/XI debut for Munster
-03 M Jander made his 2BL debut and in XI for FCN played full 90.
-03 LB Di Michele Sanchez made his 2BL Debut as 25 min sub
-03 GK Noll (on loan) made his 2BL/pro debut/XI debut for Furth
-03 GK Schenk made his 2BL/XI debut for Munster
-05 AM/W Krattenmacher (on loan) made his 2BL debut as 29 min sub
-03 CF Schmidt made his 2BL/XI/pro debut for 2BL FD in 2-0 W. Looks to have played sole CF and also looks to have avoided the original plan of being dumped to RL/II after his Summer transfer and impressing in preseason.
-03 W Rossmann who was injured ENTIRE last season scored the 2nd goal for FD in that 2-0 W. Glad to see that he jumped directly to 1st team and wasn't forced to go to II to gain match practice.
-05 M Suso played as 89th min sub for FD. Was breakingthrough last season pre-injury and then missed out on rest of season. That he's in matchday squad from begining does indicate that he'll get another shot on breakingthrough this season.
-05 CB Munz made his 2BL/pro debut as 10 min sub for Furth
-02 W/CF Futkeu made his 2BL/XI debut for Furth and he drew the PK for the opening goal that another scored.
-04 M P.Muller who brokethrough XI last season towards end end of season is now XI from M1 for Furth. Looks on track for full on breakthrough

 

-03 LB Brown and 04 CB Collins are seen as some of the winners of 1BL Frankfurt preseason. Will be curious to see what Frankfurt does with Collins......

-05 CB Pauli gets praised by 2BL Koln coach Struber and by his teammates for his showings on his 2BL/XI/pro debut on Friday.
https://geissblog.koeln/2024/08/hoffe-das-war-nur-der-anfang-sonderlob-fuer-debuetanten-pauli/

-everywhere in German media, 05 GK Seimen is getting praised for his 3rd Liga/pro debut. With almost everywhere I look=MOTM.

Thanks in part to goalkeeper Dennis Seimen (18), who was almost invincible on the Baltic Sea on Saturday afternoon. The top talent saved the point several times with strong saves in one-on-one situations. Stuttgart's professional coach Sebastian Hoeneß (42) has already called Seimen "the future of VfB". U21 coach Markus Fiedler (38) also has high hopes for the goalkeeper: "Dennis is an outstanding talent, as a goalkeeper and as a person. I am convinced that he will take his steps into the Bundesliga," said Fiedler in an interview with BILD before the start of the season.

04 CF Topp looks on track for breakingthrough XI at 1BL Bremen!!!!
LOL didn't take him long to be best CF at 2BL S04 and now looks like he could very well become the best CF at 1BL Bremen.

saw mention from the Coventry fans who called him a beast and were surprised to find out that he's only 20 y/o.


Regular place in sight:
Topp becomes Werder's frustration brake

Many cause frustration, Keke makes you want to!

Keke Topp (20) is THE winner of Werder's preparation. While most of his colleagues are still struggling even after weeks, the young Schalke returnee is wide awake from the first moment. This was also the case in the 2-1 test victory in Coventry. After the B-team's embarrassment (0:4) against the reserves of the English second division team - despite reinforcements from stars such as Bittencourt, Deman and Njinmah - Topp prevented the mood from being completely dampened in the rather poor preparation so far with another strong performance.
Topp scored the early lead (5th) and set up Ducksch's winning goal (85th) shortly before the end. Coach Ole Werner: "He shows that he is willing to learn and physically present and fits well into the group. But he also has areas that we need to work on. So far he has performed well."

Topp becomes Werder's frustration brake
The pressure was great. Captain Friedl, who is absent due to illness this time, had denounced Werder's poor state of play in the training camp: "We have poor spatial distribution, we play badly with the ball, move badly and therefore cannot get into the final third. It seems as if we are not well-rehearsed."

The decent performance in Coventry is definitely a step forward. And that is because Topp is working well.

Professional boss Peter Niemeyer: "Keke is an absolutely invigorating element, he gives it his all. The goals do him a lot of good. I know how much this will inspire him."

As fellow striker Justin Njinmah has not yet reached the form of the previous season, new signing Topp can even hope for a place in the starting eleven in Cottbus (DFB Cup). Even if he and Marvin Ducksch are not breaking any speed records as a striker duo. But he is scoring goals. He has four to his name in the pre-season. Topp is Werder's number 1 striker.

on 04 CF Tresoldi of 2BL H96. LOL Slomka wants him to hit 15-20 goals. I guess 1 down 14 MIN to go, LOL. Still gets compared to a Suarez as well, if H96 fail to make 1BL promotion he'll 100% bail in Summer 2025.

With a market value of 5 million euros, Tresoldi (contract until 2026) is now the most valuable player in the 96 squad. Clubs from all over Europe have long had the son of Italy's ex-professional Emanuele Tresoldi (50) on their radar. But this season the young star is still expected to wear the 96 jersey and, if possible, shoot the Reds into the Bundesliga.

-on 04 CB Collins and 05 CB Seidel and 2BL FCN. I'm glad, yeah Bild stating exactly what I and others have said that it would be a dumb transfer as FCN want to prop up Jeltsch and they brought in Knoche to 1st choice........so any transfer there is to be back up only. I always HATE loans where clubs just want a back up and not serious alternative. Here's hoping Collins has a breakthrough season in 1BL next season. And no Collins at FCN should open door for 05 CB Seidel.



No Collins transfer:
Club now plans without a new central defender
Defender Nnamdi Collins will probably stay at Eintracht Frankfurt

Change of plan at the club! Originally, another central defender was to be brought in with Namdi Collins (20/from Eintracht Frankfurt.

But that is not going to happen now. Also because the Bundesliga club is backing out after the strong impressions Collins made at Eintracht's training camp in the USA. The final talks are still taking place, but the trend is clearly for the lightning-fast defender to stay with the Hessians.
Because the situation has not only improved for Collins because of his good performances in the training camp. Since Frankfurt is about to sell defender Willian Pacho (22) to Paris St. Germain, Collins now has a much better perspective again.

At the club, however, it would not have been much better. Because Collins would hardly have been able to get past newcomer and veteran Robin Knoche (32). And in world and European champion Finn Jeltsch (18), the club has a great talent whose development they do not want to hinder with such a transfer. However, the planned loan of the Frankfurt player would have made little sense as a back-up.

Collins is therefore staying with the Bundesliga club and the club is not looking for another candidate for him. FCN sports director Olaf Rebbe (45) confirmed this when asked by BILD. With Ondrej Karafiat (29) and Nick Seidel (19) in reserve, the club feels well positioned.

-1BL BVB is legit one of the worst clubs when it comes to their own youth. 04 LB Rothe is moving to 1BL Union..........what happened??? for MONTHS, BVB Brass kept saying that Rothe is going nowhere that they are planning with him and in end he leaves, LOL. Imagine they robbed him of entire Union Berlin preseason for NOTHING......

🚨🔴 Tom #Rothe will join @fcunion with immediate effect!

It’s all done between the clubs. Verbal agreement with the 19 y/o left-back from Borussia Dortmund is done. Medical today. He has already left the training camp in Bad Ragaz as first via @RNBVB.

-more from 1BL BVB, 06 CF Brunner looks headed for Ligue 1 Monaco and then Belgian 1st loan. Why are him and Moukoko going to Ligue 1 clubs? Are there no 1BL clubs to play at??? If he had stayed at BVB would play 3rd Liga which is lower level but not a fan of this Ligue 1 CRAP. What I don't get is why bother joining a club that wants to loan you out instead of integration. Could never grasp the point of going to a club that has no initial plans for players.

also the linked Belgian 1st club Club Cercle Brugge qualified for EL next season so he would play European footy.

since this club doesn't give a shit about their own players and BVB II is a HUGE PARODY, how long until 06 LB Kabar also bails from this club. A club obsessed with ********ing youth trophies and who cant integrate anyone beyond U19, pathetic.

BVB in nutshell, nooooooooooo we can't offer Brunner anything but we'll have Gittens, Duranville etc all jump directly to 1st team and play too but Brunner needs to play U19-II, LMAO.

the BVB fans are some of the most stupiest out there. Constant bashing and insults towards Brunner but why fixate on Brunner??? Why not look at the club itself and how as of now 06 M Watjen is like the only one left and no guarantees he actually fully breakthrough either.......I don't buy for a second that Kabar is gonna stay at the club (aka if he stays until Summer 2025=running down his contract to leave free transfer), BVB wants him to play MORE U19 and they will bring in new LB too. What reason would he have to extend??? So almost everyone from 02-06 have ALL BAILED from the club and we've already seen 3 07s who won U17 Championship with BVB U17 all bail as well.

 

1BL still sucks when it comes to integrating CFs, like even the 1BL prospects are forced to leave
-Beier went on pointless 2 year 2BL loan.....because Hoffenheim wanted to integrate the mediocre Frenchie Rutter instead who is now still in Championship, LMAO. Worst part is that Beier impressed in almost all of his Hoff 1st chances and I 100% remember that he was better than Rutter too when he brokethrough at 17 y/o but dev/sell is for non-Germans, LMAO.
-Woltemade got dumped on 3rd Liga loan to Elversberg when was ended up best player in whole league and played major role in them getting historic 2BL promotion in 2022-2023 season. Ole Werner constantly made up excuses to not play him but then for some odd reason last season he brokethrough fixed XI DURING the season even though his contract was running down to free transfer......
-Topp, Bremen had 0 intention on integration Topp just look at what happened with Woltemade, so he left to S04 where he brokethrough 1st team in 2BL super quick and after one season in 2BL now back to Bremen in 1BL, seriously fricking cringe.....I'm glad he's in 1BL next season and would have more chances of playing time at Bremen then other clubs but its cringe at how Bremen let him go only to bring him back......if you had just done your job he wouldn't have left to begin with.
-Moukoko, BVB doesn't do much but relegate him to 3rd choice so now going to Ligue 1
-Brunner, BVB doesn't want to do anything with him but low level shit+make huge fit about basic shit so looks headed out. Current reports of Ligue 1 transfer+Cercle Brugge loan
-Pejcinovic, Wolfsburg praises him a SHIT TON and constantly high on fact that he has interest all over Europe but they do NOTHING with him and he ends up on 2BL loan, can't even integrate.....

where's the integration????
every single player is forced to do detours. At this point Weiper+Moerstedt are only ones who have avoided this fate........

its still fact that next gen CFs are mostly all still forced to go on detours (loans or Ligue 1 crap) or breakthrough directly in lower levels aka 2BL-1st Abroad-3rd Liga. These clubs legit all prove that almost nobody in 1BL has any INTEREST or INTENTION of integrating CFs who don't have pro exp. Or because they only play 1 uptop that screws chances.

still we still have more CFs emerging then ever and a LOT of them brokethrough young. But sucks that it isn't more direct 1BL breakthrough.

Beier, Woltemade, Topp didn't take much time for them to jump to 1BL and then we are lucky that Weiper and Moerstedt look like direct breakthrough to 1BL. How long until we see Tresoldi, Pejcinovic etc be in 1BL or Brunner-Moukoko in top 4 league????

 

BVB are gonna look pretty dumb if they lose both Moukoko and Brunner for a combined likely fee of <€20m. Two of the top German CF talents who could easily explode in the next couple of years. If nothing else it makes no sense from a financial/profit perspective, something the club management obsess over when it comes to foreign youth.

And all both players want is being given proper first team chances/a clear perspective.

Rothe leaving is weird, they only have 1 LB (Bensebaini) who is pretty mediocre and up until now the club had been very + about Rothe and his prospects. I also expect Kabar to leave as he won't get chances either and will mainly play pointless u19.

 

and likely neither would ever return to 1BL too, so La Liga-EPL are likely to be next. We are robbing 1BL of players who wanted to play in league for players who only see the league as stop gap and stepping stone.

what kind of league is unable to keep its own talents???

now the new trend huge amount have to play 2BL before 1BL. Integration in 1BL is rare these days without any real pro exp. Even the foreign youth need to have real pro exp to breakthrough.

1BL is just a waste of a league where domestic/Academy players nobody really cares about and they prefer players who fit dev/sell and don't care about the league.....

the reason why everyone is bailing from BVB is because there is no real prospects even training they make a fit about. Obsession with U19 to last second, a II with 0 integration for U19 players and only plays U23 players......its a DEAD END club for German Academy players.

for me a club like BVB DESERVES to lose ALL their talents. And they aren't the only 1BL club who deserves to lose every prospect.

interesting 04 CF Moukoko update so not Marseille but Lille??? Its interesting as
-Marseille=NO Europe
-Lille=CL Qualifiers

Youngster could leave Borussia Dortmund
Is this ex-BVB star the reason for the Moukoko decision?

At least since the argument between Borussia Dortmund and advisor Patrick Williams, it seems unlikely that striker Youssoufa Moukoko will stay at BVB beyond the summer. A move to the French Ligue 1 is currently taking more and more concrete shape. However, not to Olympique Marseille, as it initially seemed.

Instead of OM, league rival OSC Lille is now said to be in pole position for a Moukoko transfer this summer. According to "Sky", an old acquaintance has apparently taken on a decisive mediating role.

As the TV station reported on Monday, Moukoko's long-time Dortmund teammate Thomas Meunier "acted as a kind of agent" and introduced the BVB striker to the advantages of the OSC Lille club and the city.

Meunier himself also moved to the fourth-placed team in the last Ligue 1 season a few weeks ago after loudly terminating his current contract with Turkish first division club Trabzonspor.

After intensive discussions between Moukoko's side, Meunier and several OSC officials, a decision could be made this week as to whether the 19-year-old will actually leave the Black and Yellows or not.

Kehl believes further BVB transfers are possible
At the moment there is still a need for clarification as to exactly what a transfer would look like. According to "Sky", BVB is still considering selling homegrown player Moukoko, if at all. The two-time German national player currently has a contract with the Westphalians that runs until 2026.

Moukoko was still in BVB's summer training camp in Bad Ragaz in Switzerland until recently, so he could leave the Black and Yellows for OSC Lille at short notice.

how many of the next gen CFs will play Europe next season???
-CL=Beier (moving to BVB), Woltemade, Moukoko (if BVB or Lille)
-EL=Moerstedt, Brunner (if he does go on loan to Cercle Brugge. If he doesn't go on loan could end up playing CL whether BVB or Monaco), Copado
-Maybe=Kastanaras (CL), Ramsak (CL)
-No Europe=Harres, Weiper, Topp (Bremen missed out on Europe based on GD and by 1 GD only too, LOL)

 

The possible Bayern U-23 team.

Amazing amount of talent. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/zS4UyQ8E8y

— Football Talent Scout - Jacek Kulig (@FTalentScout) August 6, 2024

Shows how much Bayern likes to stockpile talent. Most areas look pretty strong other then RB and possibly CB. The issue is how many of the German youth will ever play for the first team?

Pavlovic is already there, maybe Buchmann and Wanner might have a chance. But even then if Bayern sign Doue and next year Wirtz/Simons then what hope do Wanner, Ibrahimovic, Krattenmacher or Licina have plus how likely are Bayern to take a risk on a young CB like Buchmann even if he can finally stay fit.

 

When asked, Lars Ricken confirmed that Borussia Dortmund will fill Tom Rothe's vacancy internally with Almugera Kabar.

🗞 @FunkeSport #BVB

— BVB Newsblog (@bvbnewsblog) August 7, 2024

Good news I guess, although what that actually looks like is questionable. Regular matchday squads/Bensebaini back up or will other players fill in and Kabar only be used in an emergency whilst mainly playing II or u19?

 

LOL that he has the bang average Zaragoza in his XI. Also Sieb isn't a CF and a lot of players listed will never play for Bayern, some obvious they are gone for good.

Bayern II has 38 players in their squad according to TM when you can only have 19 in matchday squad. Not sure WTF they are doing, LOL. This is good youth work and squad management???

yeah Bayern, BVB, Leipzig, Bayer, Stuttgart etc are clubs where breakingthrough is huge question marks partly because they have no real interest to integrate and because they tend to block at every chance. At this point, its better to have 0 expectations for any of those clubs. For Bayern, everytime there are open spots they just bring in transfers.....not a serious club for youth and they've become like an EPL club with loan army.

I think he'll be left out of matchday squads and only be back up and likely play in U19. BVB is obsessed with U19 over II which is stupid. Also reports say that BVB is looking at LB market aka leaving door open for transfers but only for loan in aka no buying of LBs. Which indicate they aren't that serious about Kabar who still has to sign pro contract.

pro contracts at BVB have been for a LONG TIME a we want X or Y to sign pro contract because we don't want to lose them but at same time we have 0 planing for any of them, LOL.

 

LMAO, just saw that 06 LB Kabar is BVB U19 captain.

LULZ, back at the BVB SCAM of making players captain in order to force them to play MORE U19.

I think this answers the U19 or II question.

they love to give,
"Its very good for dev for a player to gain leadership skills etc."

and then all the players they do this to, NONE make the 1st team, they just end up playing U19 to last second in order to satisfy the youth trophy fetish that BVB has. And then either leave perm or end up in II for some years before they bail.

just shows how a LOT of German clubs screw their own players while players from across of Europe jump to adult/pro levels we have the young waste soooooo much time in dumb youth footy.

******** leadership skills, how does that help someone breakthrough adult footy??? It doesn't do anything.

 

-BVB still hoping Brunner stays??? I have doubts they will succeed.

TOM ROTHE BECOMES IRON
The 19-year-old Tom Rothe is moving from Borussia Dortmund to 1. FC Union Berlin. The left-back was loaned to Holstein Kiel last season and was promoted to the Bundesliga with the "Störchen".

Perennial favorite on the wing
Tom Rothe was born and grew up in Rendsburg, Schleswig-Holstein. His club career began in 2010 at Rendsburger TSV before moving to Büdelsdorfer TSV in the neighboring town. He played there until 2016 before moving to Hamburg with his parents and joining SC Nienstedten. In 2018, Rothe joined the youth department of FC St. Pauli and played for three years in the "Kiezkicker" youth teams. In the summer of 2021, he moved to the Ruhr area to Borussia Dortmund's youth performance center.

The 1.93m tall left-footer quickly established himself as a regular on the left wing in BVB's A-youth team and collected his playing time in the UEFA Youth League, the Junior Bundesliga and the Junior Club Cup. In the UEFA Youth League, he made a decisive contribution with three assists to the 5-3 win against FC Empoli, which saw Dortmund's U19s reach the quarter-finals of the youth tournament for the first time.

In the summer of 2021, Rothe took part in the Bundesliga team's training camp under then BVB coach Marco Rose. On matchday 30 of the 2021/22 Bundesliga season, Rose nominated the 17-year-old as a replacement for the injured Raphaël Guerreiro and Thorgan Hazard. Rothe played almost the entire game and scored the first goal of the game and of his professional career with a header after a corner in the 6-1 win against VfL Wolfsburg.

Two years later, Dortmund loaned the six-time U-national player to Holstein Kiel. Under Kiel's coach Marcel Rapp, Rothe showed not only his defensive qualities but also his offensive strengths, as evidenced by 14 points in 33 competitive matches. Before the end of the season, he secured promotion to the Bundesliga with Kiel.

Three facts about Tom Rothe
-Tom Rothe is the youngest player to score on his Bundesliga debut
-Rothe was the defender with the most points in the entire league in the last second division season
-Rothe had the third most sprints in the second division last year

Voices on the transfer
"I'm really looking forward to 1. FC Union Berlin, especially the club's passionate fans. Union has a unique club culture that I can fully identify with. In addition, all discussions so far have been consistently positive. The coach often prefers a five-man chain, which I already know from my time in Kiel and which I feel very comfortable with," explained the defensive player when signing his contract.

Horst Heldt, Managing Director of Men's Professional Football at 1. FC Union Berlin, commented on the move: "Tom impressively demonstrated his strengths and potential during his loan at Holstein Kiel last year. In addition to his defensive skills, he is also impressive in attack. His qualities have not only caught our attention, so we are very proud that Tom has chosen 1. FC Union Berlin. We are convinced that he will strengthen our squad."

 

update on 02 CB Schmidt+03 CB Rosenfelder at 1BL Freiburg

-on Schmidt
For the Breisgau team, however, even a temporary departure from Schmidt is out of the question as things stand. On the one hand, the Freiburg native is the only left-footer in the current circle of central defenders, and on the other hand, the personnel level in the defensive center is currently comparatively thin

-on Rosenfelder
Rosenfelder and Ogbus convince as alternatives in preparation
It is obvious that Freiburg should feel in a relatively comfortable situation. In principle, there is no motivation to let go of Sildillia, who is tied to the club beyond the coming season and can be used as both a full-back and a central defender. In addition, coach Julian Schuster would not even necessarily need a replacement: In addition to the already established Lukas Kübler (31), there are other alternatives thanks to the youngsters Max Rosenfelder (21) and Bruno Ogbus (18), who have impressed in the current preparation.

-Poaching is getting more and more pathetic.

Algeria SNT want to call up 07 CB Benkara (German Mother+Algerian Father) to their AFCON Qualifiers next month...........how do you call up players who play U19 and will play U19 all season????

I've seen NUMEROUS African countries call up duals from Germany who play U19-RL to SNT but who would have thought that Algeria would go this pathetic as well???

according to TM, he has yet to make his decision on Germany or Algeria.....how is Germany supposed to compete with this type of BS??? At this point, soooooooo many players us keeping them is basically them WANTING to play for Germany. Because perspective wise we can't offer anything but YNT.

Geraerts: "Max has the right profile. He's done well every day, every week. Sometimes a career starts with one or two injuries. Then you get a chance that you have to take advantage of. He's a candidate, even if I'm not yet sure that he'll play."

Dustin Forkel receives licensed player contract
Club ties offensive talent long-term: Dustin Forkel has signed his first licensed player contract with FCN.

The 19-year-old moved to the Nuremberg NLZ in 2019 and has since gone through all the youth teams. Last season he played in the U23 instead of the U19 and scored a total of six goals in eleven games. Since the summer preparation for the current season, he has been an integral part of the licensed squad.

Joti Chatzialexiou, Sports Director 1. FC Nuremberg: “Dustin not only attracted attention with his six goals in the summer preparation, but also convinced us overall. He is an example of the path we want to continue to follow at the club. Now it's up to him to confirm the performances from the preparation and to continue to develop on and off the pitch. We want to support him as best we can."

Olaf Rebbe, 1. FC Nürnberg: "Dustin is a straightforward player who combines special skills with his speed and instinct for goals. At 19 years old, he already has a lot of cleverness and ball control, but above all he has the ambition to continue to improve in every training session."

Dustin Forkel: "I'm looking forward to continuing to play for the club. I want to learn from the coaching team and experienced teammates and take the next steps as a player."

 

I’m finding myself increasingly disillusioned with the global Borussia Dortmund mythos that they are a leading international springboard for young talent.

How they have neglected one of the best academies in world football over the past 5-years is criminal!
