at this point it's not surprising, Germany has poor track record at dev CFs. which doesn't help with a already small pool of CFs. the faster the 98-onwards breakthrough and perform the better.
looks like he could get benched this weekend, he's crashing. Makes you wonder if he leaves Germany or ends up in another 1BL club who want a bench CF. that's 2 consecutive bad seasons for him in 1BL. he turned 25 years old, 3 days ago. Already mid-20s, usually CFs start to pick it up more around mid-20s-onwards. Will he redeem himself this season or later?
Two requests for Selke Davie Selke has received two requests from the Premier League, one of the prospective customers is said to be Brighton and Hove Albion. Selke - brought from Leipzig for 8.5 million in 2017 - had already sparked interest in England several times in recent years. The U-21 European champion of 2017 did not want to leave Berlin, where he has a contract until 2022. Now the signs have changed. With the victory in Wolfsburg (2-1) last Saturday, Dodi Lukebakio replaced Selke, who had been hapless for months in the storm center, and promptly scored the winning goal - and the upcoming purchase of Piatek significantly aggravated the competitive situation in the attack.
Hertha has given Selke enough chances , the club rate him. but he is not too reliable and always disappoints
Davie Selke is very popular in the Premier League. As the 'Bild' reports, talks with five clubs from the island. Interest in the Hertha BSC striker shows Newcastle United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Aston Villa, FC Watford and AFC Bournemouth.
@Epitome990 look who's back at Bremen. 📝 ✅ @davieselke27 kehrt zum SV #Werder zurück.Willkommen zurück am #Osterdeich, Davie!💚 Alle Infos zum Transfer 👉 https://t.co/WF2MiHzs8o#DeadlineDavie pic.twitter.com/2qr5ZzSMP3— SV Werder Bremen (@werderbremen) January 31, 2020
https://bulinews.com/news/5346/werder-boss-frank-baumann-backs-davie-selke-rediscover-his-confidence I hope he does rediscover his form/confidence, the last year or so has been a total bust. Could have been a promising CF but hasn't developed.
I think you're right, unfortunately. Watched Bremen v Frankfurt on Wednesday, Selke was pretty ineffective and his shots he had were easy for the keeper.
yeah, Selke isnt going to make German score again. His crash makes me think he might end up in 2BL or some smaller league. feels like hes regressing by the season.
lol it's true, I think everyone has written him out at this point. Likely headed to 2BL soon enough if he doesn't get his shit together....
He's pretty much just playing based on his name and past achievements at this point. If Füllkrug can stay healthy he should be a starter. Otherwise, just give minutes to Woltemade and try to develop him.
should never have left Bremen to join Leipzig those years ago that's where his descent started. yeah Fullkrug is interesting if he can just stay fit. And Bremen are likely to give min to Woltemade in order to lure him to stay at the club and not leave next Summer. He's a promising one for sure.
Good to at least see Selke get back on the score sheets today. Scoring isn't hard in the Buli. If Selke can resolve whatever mental block or motivation issues he had, then it's reasonable for him to get his career back on track. Getting 10+ goals should be doable if he stays healthy.
Apart from his goal he did nothing. Barring the goal, Fullkrug did more to threaten Hertha goal in his limited time.
In terms of strikers born after '95, I'd say Werner and Waldschmidt are the most accomplished so far. But they're in a similar mould and are more effective playing as a secondary striker in a 4-4-2 type formation. Disappointing but Selke is still technically the one traditional CF that has gone the furthest among others of this age range and beyond. Quite a few other players have injury and other issues. But ultimately none other have fully emerged yet.
Timo Werner? Oh. I always preferred him at SS/LW. He isn't a target man nor is he strong enough to hold up play to be focal point. Of course I hope he does and prove me wrong or atleast turns into a Suarez Type CF.
I dunno, Kohfeldt's Bremen is legit trash and been saying for like over a year that Friedl is a terrible player not sure how the beep does that player even make 1BL and tons of XI too. Better Bayern players whether current or ex are stuck in lower level. The midfield is also mediocre and barely creates anything too. anyways makes it harder for guy like Selke who needs service to do much. But good for him for scoring good confidence boost.
I agree partially with you, Maxi Eggestein, Klaassen and Osako really bad yesterday. Bittencourt actually really good when he came in on the 2nd half. But that not to pull away the responsibility from Selke. He barely touch any ball because he is too passive and immobile. For comparions, Josh Sargent ran a lot to try to make things happen. And like I said Niklas Fullkrug did much better compared to Selke in his limited time apart from Selke goal.
Selke is starting to look even worse than Sandro Wagner. At least Wagner was a douche in the box, lol. Fullkrug should have been the starter from beginning. Wonder if he's unfit to play XI? Good player when fit though.
The striker was only allowed to play against Hertha for 27 minutes. Also in the cup in Jena (2-0) there was only a short appearance. Is he not fit? The Fullkrug puzzle! "With Niclas Füllkrug I had the feeling that this week he wasn't ready to start and walk for 90 minutes," explains coach Florian Kohfeldt (37). "But after being substituted on, he raised the alarm, especially when moving forward." Right! The attacker appeared several times dangerously in front of the Berliner Kasten, Kohfeldt now gives hope that the athletic development at Füllkrug will soon be over. The Bremen coach: “I long for the moment. I am not holding him back voluntarily, he was injured for ten months. We have to find the moment when he's ready to go full throttle again. He's not far away anymore. He burns, but I also have an obligation to the players. " https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/...aetsel-um-niclas-fuellkrug-73006390.bild.html clock is ticking for Selke. If he has more mediocre games and Fullkrug is fit he could be benched.
