Bundesliga and the rest: Domestic and European competition discussion

Tbh even without Wirtz they should still be good enough to win at away v Elversberg and home v Augsburg. Such a weak mentality club.

 

Neuville+Rink>>>>>>>Schick+Hlozek
Schneider>>>>>>>>Diaby.
Ballack+Ramelow>>>>>>>Aranguiz+Palacios (he's not that good, lol, as he's playing more club is flopping, lol)

 

Hofmann and Thuram both score beyond the 70th min to give Gladbach a 2-1 comeback lead. Few mins to go but a win would give them a good start to the season

 

Well and just like that Herrmann concedes a handball penalty near the end that Buelter converts to finish 2-2. Schalke get their 1st point of the season

 

can join his flop buddy Reinier, LMAO
“There are talks at Paulinho. We didn't want any player in the squad who wasn't 100 percent focused," Seoane said, explaining the Brazilian's non-consideration. In recent weeks there has been speculation as to whether the offensive man is looking for a new club in this transfer period.

Although his talent is undisputed, he has yet to make his breakthrough at Leverkusen. In the summer of 2018 he came to Leverkusen from the Brazilian club Vasco da Gama for almost 20 million euros. Bayer 04's current price tag for Paulinho is around five million euros, according to UOL Esporte.

 

Bielefeld aren't planning to make any changes so soon yet but essentially there's no job guarantee for newly hired coach Uli Forte after their 0-4 start to the 2BL season

Most often than not, clubs with better stocked talent for this division will figure things out to least fit into the middle table range in the long run. Although whether or not they'll make a coaching change to get there is another story to be seen

Otherwise, clubs like Braunschweig seem like the low hanging fruit so far. Despite their struggles so far, Hannover and Fuerth should hopefully find a way to stay somewhere within the division. Nurnberg also haven't been too great so far

Musiala is now 1BL leading scorer at 3 goals.

Mane a supposed superstar with only 1 goal in 2 matches.

 

LMAO 2 CL clubs in bottom 3.

 

Table positions in the first five matches don't matter.

 

of course they don't, its just for fun.

 

A little disappointed in Frankfurt though … they really not having a great start .

 

Frankfurt just aren't the same without their former captain and club talisman Hinteregger. Kostic is also a big loss, being one of their best offensive players especially in the EL title run. The spotlight of winning the title also means that their tactics are now more heavily scouted and can become stale unless they innovate themselves again

 

An uncharacteristic amount of goals resulting from goalkeeper errors so far this season.

 

$1 Billion.....

Manchester United have proved that money is no guarantee of success 😬

So Gittens now getting a lot of hype, new contract etc. So how long before all the EPL rumours start lol.

 

they will gain more traction come next Summer.

its not a bad thing if his spot can be taken by a Bamba/Brunner/Konig in next 1-2 years.

 

And just like that Arminia Bielefeld have already fired Uli Forte as their head coach. Former Darmstadt and Schalke coach Grammozis is mentioned as a candidate to take over

 

Wtf 10m release clauses? Seems very low.

well I guess Hofmann is quite old and never really raked up a huge value

 

True I suppose, but on the other hand he is a starter for the NT and was recently one of the best performers. I mean Bayern paid almost as much for Bouna Sarr lol.

I don’t get why you would insert below MV release clauses like this.

 

Buli clubs tend to have a soft approach to release clause. Sometimes they're stiff armed by agents to include one or else the player may not consider signing with them. But other times, they just seem weird and undervalued

Hofmann at age 30 and recently signing an extension until 2025 with an option till 2026 should ideally stay with Gladbach for the remainder of his career

 

Koeln's lineup vs Fehervar, which has former Herthaner Palko Dardai on it:

Schwäbe - Schmitz, Hübers, Chabot, Pedersen - Skhiri, Hector, Thielmann, Ljubicic, Kainz - F. Dietz

Bench:
T. Horn, Ehizibue, Kilian, Duda, Huseinbasic, Lemperle, Maina, Martel, Olesen, Ki. Schindler, Adamyan, S. Tigges

 

Doesn't get much more eventful than that in an opening 20 mins of play

Dietz scores to give Koeln the 1-0 lead but Chabot is ejected with a red card lol

 

Koeln trailing 1-2 at HT. Fehervar also get a goal scored by Palko

 

And that's how it ends, Koeln lose the home leg vs Fehervar
