Review: German Players Development Discussion - 2018/19

Seems like Dortmund will buy Marius Wolf for around $5M.

I guess this means that some of the Dortmund attacking players will be headed out. Schurrle is likely out. He's better off trying to reestablish himself somewhere else.

 

Marius Wolf to Dortmund until 2023.

🤝 BVB verpflichtet Marius #Wolf von @Eintracht Frankfurt!

35 year old Alexander Meier is leaving Frankfurt.

Alex Meiers Vertrag läuft planungsgemäß am 30. Juni aus, und es wird keine Verlängerung geben. Darauf verständigte sich die Sportliche Leitung mit dem Spieler einvernehmlich. Danke für alles, Alex ❤️#AMFG #SGE https://t.co/l4iyhj9ml5

was injured all season playing only 3 minutes and scoring in that 3 minutes, lol.

It's a shame if he never manages to hit the triple digits. The guy is currently at the 93 1BL career goals. Only 7 away from 100.

 

lol, Tedesco is going striker overkill at Schalke.

BREAKING: FC Schalke 04 are delighted to announce the signing of Steven Skrzybski from @fcunion_en on a three year deal ✍️

What’s the plan with Teuchert now??

 

Holger Badstuber seems headed to Serie A team Lazio.

Kempf is likely to be his replacement at Stuttgart.

 

Not sure I want Bauer in 2BL, he's been in 1BL for the last 3 seasons. And still played almost 1000 minutes at Bremen, even if he wasn't satisfied.

between Benno and Bader I think, Koln have enough RBs.

His competition at FD are these 2
93-Jean Zimmer, 0 1BL experience
88-Julian Schauerte, 0 1BL experience

 

I hope Tobias sticks it out in Italy and to his goal of playing Serie A next season, even with all the 1BL and Eredivisie interest in him. While FCN just recently are bringing in 99 RB Kevin Goden to the club. If Pachonik goes to FCN, then there will be even less chances for the kid.

we seem likely to be getting more and more German players in Serie A next season, especially defensive ones.

 

speaking of Serie A and Germans defenders. Boa is being linked with Napoli where Ancelotti has been hired at. Very recently there were Mustafi and Juventus links.

if Pachonik goes to Serie A that's another one, on top of Robin Gosens already in Fiorentina.

while if Boa leaves looks like Hoff's Kevin Vogt is his replacement at Bayern.

 

The league that we need to start cracking again is La Liga. We've had plenty of known players throughout the decades play their but recently it's been pretty empty outside of Kroos and ter Stegen. Geis is there on loan but he seems unlikely to stay at that mess that is Sevilla, they had like 3 coaches during the season and everytime he had to reestablish himself to a new coaches. He's also had no involvement in any of the games were Sevilla got trashed this season, which is 7 games outside of 1 sub appearance.

there are a few Germans in the lower levels in Spain. Although only 1 seems to have decent chance of rising. The other 1-2 guys are older and unlikely to rise up.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Werner in Madrid in a couple of years if Bayern can’t sign him.

 

actually plenty of the German young/youth players have been linked to making La Liga moves over the last season.
Werner, Sane, Goretzka, Meyer, Henrichs, Kimmich, Weigl, Brandt, Tah, Amiri, at the top of my head but there are others too.

mostly the 95-96 age groups, a few others in that age groups once they really establish themselves will attract interest as well. I'm sure once the 98-onwards start to really establish themselves their will be even more interest in our players.

don't get me started on EPL, they seem interested in most of our young players even the ones currently in the youth levels.

but in the end it's good that most of them stayed put. We don't want young players going to Spain or EPL and being ruined. They should go if ever once there a lot more established and years of experience.

 

Drexler joins the long list of players who never played 1BL but move abroad. I think after this season for sure he had 1BL interest, wonder why he decided to go to Denmark?

Kopke should emulate Ducksch and avoid anything England. He needs to establish himself 1st in Germany.

that was terrible of Frankfurt.
Alexander Meier is very sad that Eintracht Frankfurt announced on Monday that his contract will not be renewed.

Meier: "I can't imagine coming home from vacation, not landing in Frankfurt and starting training with Eintracht. It's very sad, I'm very sad. I wanted to end my career at Eintracht." "I'm very sorry I didn't even get to say goodbye to the fans. In the stadium or on other ways"

Meier wants to stay fit during his USA vacation: "So that I can start right away. [...] I am absolutely healthy, I am absolutely fit and I think I can still keep up."

The Frankfurter Rundschau writes that "after 14 long years, he was dumped on Monday evening at exactly 8 p.m. by press release. It is unworthy, it would be unthinkable for other clubs and players with such merits."

In addition, the Frankfurter Rundschau reports: "[The] Sporting Management of Eintracht [...] took a look at Meier, and they think he's too slow, not explosive enough, working too little for the team."

Signs until 2022.

I had a feeling he wasn't going down to 2BL.
