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

HSV have been promoted to 1BL.

will be curious to what this means to 05 CB Agyekum, 05 W Balde and 07 CF Stange. The last 2 are getting integration and have played their role in helping promotion.

04 RB Oliveira is headed out after being screwed over.

what next for 06 AM/W Yalcinkaya more RL is waste of time too.

 

at this point, I think 05 M Bischof won't even play next U21 cycle long term. Players like him and 06 M Ouedraogo once they fully breakthrough Bayern and Leipzig, SNT is likely next.

great to see with 3rd Liga Dynamo getting promoted to 2BL that 02 GK Schreiber who is #1 there is FINALLY making his return to 2BL level. Should have been #1 there ages ago if not for Kiel screwing him over once he got injured followed by dumbassery non-stop 3rd Liga transfers for 0 good reason, was always too good for 3rd Liga. He legit has a trash agent/manager, LOL.

too late for this U21 cycle but more 02-onwards #1 in relevant pro footy the better.

 

LOL Brighton coach Hurzeler on 04 W Gruda
“It is not always easy to make a compliment from a German to a German but today I think I have to do this.”

not easy to compliment but very very very easy to shit on, LOL.

that is reality, majority of German coaches are relaxed to shit but struggle to praise and in general they avoid it.

 

Verstärkung für die rechte Außenbahn: Justin von der #Hitz wechselt vom @fckoeln zum 1. FC Nürnberg! 🤝

Justin von der Hitz joins Cluberer
The 18-year-old joined the 1. FC Köln youth academy from Bergisch Gladbach in the summer of 2020 and has since progressed through all age groups at the Geißbockheim. This season, the German-Filipino played 28 games for Effzeh's U19 team, scoring nine goals and assisting seven more. He is currently in the final of the DFB Youth League with 1. FC Köln's U19 team. Justin also played in five matches for the reserve team in the Regionalliga West, scoring five goals. He won the 2023 U17 World Cup alongside Finn Jeltsch and Winners Osawe.

Joti Chatzialexiou, Sporting Director: "Justin brings a very exciting profile, characterized primarily by a lot of pace, dribbling, and strong finishing. With his signing this summer, another exciting talent joins our ranks, one I was able to gain a comprehensive impression of during my time at the DFB with various national teams, and which I remember very positively."

Justin von der Hitz: "Moving away from my hometown to the club is a big step for me, and one I'm very excited about. The current season shows that young players like me can develop well here and that people rely on them. The discussions with Joti Chatzialexiou and Miro Klose were crucial to my decision and gave me a very good feeling. I'm looking forward to playing here starting in the summer and giving it my all."

 

-04 LB Finkgrafe of 2BL Koln has interest from 1BL clubs Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Hoffenheim.

-on 06 CB Scholl of RL Bayern II...........why not just sell him, not sure what is point of loan with buying option, LOL.

🚨🆕 Paul #Scholl from FC Bayern II is set to join Karlsruher SC on loan with an option to buy! #KSC

The clubs have reached full agreement. Medical to follow in the coming days.

The 18 y/o centre-back is regarded as a very interesting talent.@_dennisbayer | @SkySportDE 🇩🇪 pic.twitter.com/XdrIuJvfmU

-on 05 AM/W Krattenmacher who is on 2BL Ulm loan. Hopefully a 1BL move is next.

Several Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga clubs with promotion ambitions have enquired about Maurice Krattenmacher (19). After his loan spell in Ulm, Bayern are planning to send Krattenmacher on another loan at a higher level this summer. Bayern are also considering taking him to the… pic.twitter.com/nWD0Np7N3J

He's done well at Ulm despite their relegation, but I still don't see the point in Krattenmacher signing for Bayern, it's just gonna be loan after loan. I don't think they have a clear plan with the majority of their youth.

 

Köln losing two more talents (if Finkgrafe leaves) to add to the huge list in recent years. Will they ever learn.

 

same for Wanner, reality with Wisdom+Karl, Bayern has already moved past Krattenmacher, Wanner, Licina, Nasrawe aka they are all wasting their time.

how long until Harchaoui bails? Yikes if they go up to 1BL, they will screw him even more, really should never have signed pro contract.

 

Shkodran Mustafi, assistant coach of the German U17 national team, on Lennart Karl: "You don't often get players like him. We're obviously very happy to have him with us and to be able to accompany his development. His development is enormous, also because he not only brings talent, but is also willing to make the leap. That's not always a given for an attacking player with his talent. But he's also lucky to have players around him who are also at a top level, who understand him and offer opportunities to run. Lennart Karl is a player who naturally brings a lot of creativity to our attacking game. He's also a player for us, just like at FC Bayern, who scores often because he's very determined to go in the direction of goal. I believe that as a team, we incorporate his creativity, and yet the team is our strength."



I was NOT on the Karl boat but after the
-Best CB of ALL Time
-Best German CB of ALL Time
-Best German Player of ALL Time
-Best Player of ALL Time

Mustafi has high praise, I now rate the kid!!!!!

PS how long until Mustafi is
-Best Coach of ALL Time
-Best German Coach of ALL Time

 

-according to kicker, 02 CF Scherhant is moving to 1BL Freiburg!!!

-LOL, 1BL club Heidenheim who are relegated to 2BL for next season are the NEXT club to revive II which will be back in 2026-2027 season and start in 6th division. Every club who axed their II team has regretted it except for Bayer Leverkusen.

Personelle Veränderungen im HARTMANN NLZ! Hier lest Ihr mit welchen Cheftrainern, die FCH U19 bis zur U15 in die Saison 2025/26 gehen. Des Weiteren soll eine FCH U21 zur Saison 2026/27 eingeführt werden. 🤝 🤩

Heidenheim are in the relegation playoff no? So could still survive in 1BL. Not sure that would make any difference to the level their II could start, I guess still 6th? They haven't integrated a lot of youth, but have handed out a few pro deals recently so hopefully the reintroduction of their II will help with that.

 

yes your right my mistake I mistook them for Kiel, LOL. Yeah they could still survive 1BL for next season.

their II is 6th division regardless as one has to get license and permission to restart a II team. Some teams get lucky that II revival is 5th division starting point while others aren't as lucky and forced to start from 6th division. This is also one reason why there was another club, was it Leipzig? Who I recall while considering reviving II were a bit annoyed that they might have to restart in 6th division and would take 2+ years just to get to RL.

as for pro contracts, I'm always iffy on those how many is related to the whole needing 4 homegrown players signed at every club?

 

Looks like Leverkusen's intention is to sign Oermann and loan him out, potentially to a promoted club like Köln or Hamburg. Tbh I don't see why they don't just use him themselves.

 

According to a TM User Matteo Palma is not left out of the EC squad because of injury but because of an argument with the coach

 

How reliable is the source? Would be a shame to not have a talent like Palma excluded for non injury reasons. Could encourage a poaching attempt from Italy.

Meister isn't a good coach, his selections and tactics have been questionable at best however we did see an improvement v Spain.

 

For Mainz this season:

🇩🇪24-year-old Jonathan Burkardt - 29 games, 18 goals & 3 assists

🇩🇪22-year-old Paul Nebel - 32 games, 9 goals & 7 assists

🇩🇪20-year-old Nelson Weiper - 27 games, 4 goals & 2 assists

Quite a few other interesting talents coming up too. Hopefully they can qualify for Europe.

 

would say he's reliable, that source also looks to have worry about pushing Palma away to poaching too. Although, Palma since he played U17 Euro qualifiers is provisionally capped to Germany, would require one time switch to go to Italy.

makes sense as Palma keeps making Udinese bench in Serie A while being left out. So it means he was never injured, what's weird is that he made the initial U17 Euro Squad list then retracted. What exactly happened to piss off clown Meister, LOL. Even retracted prior to camp too. Like how do you headbutt with coach before then???

the only thing I can think off maybe he refused to join the team? Maybe he'll make his Serie A debut over weekend.

it sucks that U17 Euro is Monday and last matches of season are this weekend in Germany but Serie A for example still have 2 more matchdays.

same reason we are getting robbed of Karl+Wisdom debuts for Bayern in irrelevant matches too.

Meister is a rubbish coach and even vs Spain, it was the talent of the team that won that game and a world class throughball from Kaba as well to get that winner.

for U17 Euro, I'm going in with 0 expectations and whatever happens happens.

 

06 CB Wurm of 2BL Jahn who got relegated to 3rd Liga looks on course to stay in 2BL as numerous clubs want him. With Jeltsch, Odogu and Wurm we look to have 3 06 CBs who are breakingthrough relevant pro footy too.
https://www.liga-zwei.de/jahn-regensburg-leopold-wurm-kaum-zu-halten/

 

just shows why clubs like Bayer are useless. So Bayer has no problems in having players from 1st Abroad jump directly to 1st team but the German transfer who has 2 years of 1BL experience=not good enough needs MORE, LOL.

this is never a serious club and then loan him out to promoted clubs aka relegation candidates. So he'll continue to play for relegation candidates and that is good loan???

if they are such A-Holes with experienced 1BL player just imagine the BS that is needed for Academy youth to ever make 1st team, LULZ.

 

LMAO, how does one go from 1BL XI to Austrian 1st???? What a SHIT transfer. Way too many German youth have garbage agents, LOL.

prime definition of DOWNGRADE.

also RB Salzburg has been rubbish this season too

🚨🆕 Frans #Krätzig’s move to RB Salzburg can be considered a done deal!

Full agreements between Salzburg, Bayern and the player are in place. It will be a permanent transfer for a fee of around €3.5m.

Christoph Freund has also pushed for a buy-back option, which is now… pic.twitter.com/1DuSzJ4x2K

LMAO, 1BL getting worse every season.

-they used to play youth when they have big leads, now they always leave the youth unused bench in big leads
-they used to play TONS of youth in last 1-2 matches of season but this has been getting worse by the season

imagine today, last matchday and ZERO ZERO ZERO new players for any 1BL clubs, even on bench, LOL. Like how does every dumbass club just continue to play the same players in every match even in ones that are useless.

the youth work in 1BL continues to be something that needs SHIT TON of working on.....

 

BVB II going down after 2-1 L. 03 W/CF Hettwer scored their lone goal, reality if Hettwer wasn't injured for good chunk of season they might have survived.

while Stuttgart II survives 3rd Liga after 1-1 D.
with 05 M Ulrich stealing ball and laying it to 04 W Diehl who scored.

 

looks like Hoffenheim II got promoted to 3rd Liga.

wonder if for example if this makes it unlikely that 06 CF Moerstedt will end up on loan next season.

 

I hope Moerstedt plays mainly 1BL next season, but yeah in general 3.Liga means less likely Hoffenheim will loan many youth out.
