Official BVB Transfer Thread [R]

You won't find any of this news through the English news services because BVB isn't a big deal with them anymore. The news you will see from me, "HeyaBVB" and "jonam" are from the German sources.

The German reports and statements from Michael Zorc do mainly point to the Valdez deal being done before the World Cup.

We are awaiting a decision from our major creditors today on a deal and then we will close a deal with Morgan Stanley tomorrow for credit/loan.

If all of that goes well, BVB will be able to do a bit more in the transfer market.

If I did not get some of that right, I'm sure "jonam" will correct me!

 

No, absolutely right. Today the Molsiris deal will go through (buying back the other half of the stadium) and within a couple of days Morgan Stanley will give us a credit worth about 60 Mio Euro. When those deals are struck we def know how much money we can spend. Then the Valdez deal won't take too long, I guess.

 

Dortmund sold a share of their stadium? i had heard something about them selling their web domain but i didn't know the financial hole was THAT serious. don't you guys have a massive stadium?

 

We were almost bankrupt two seasons ago. Yes, the Westfalenstadion has the largest capacity in German Football.

We had to sell the stadium to avoid bankruptcy. We are exercising our right to buy it back, which will save us millions in rental payments.

The Morgan Stanley loan will give us more time to get back on our feet.

We just need to make UEFA competition sooner rather than later. I think we are on the right track.......

 

I saw a story in today's kicker, but I haven't sat and read it yet.

If things go our way in the next two days, we should be looking good.....

An der Abstimmung haben sich demzufolge 76,4 Prozent des Fondskapitals beteiligt. Die Zustimmungsquote lag bei 99,5 Prozent.

"Diese Entscheidung ist ein entscheidender Schritt auf dem Wege der finanziellen Neustrukturierung des BVB. Ich möchte mich, auch im Namen von Herrn Treß, bei allen Beteiligten, insbesondere den Fondszeichnern, für diese Entscheidung herzlich bedanken", kommentierte Hans-Joachim Watzke, Vorsitzender der Geschäftsführung, den Beschluss der Fondszeichner.

 

Valdez wechselt zum BVB
Der Wechsel von Nelson Valdez vom Vizemeister Werder Bremen zum Konkurrenten Borussia Dortmund ist perfekt. Der 22-jährige Nationalspieler von Paraguay erhält beim BVB einen Vierjahresvertrag bis zum 30 Juni 2010.
Machen künftig gemeinsame Sache: Nelson Valdez und Christian Wörns.
Der Stürmer freut sich bereits auf seinen neuen Arbeitsplatz: "Wunderbar, dass es jetzt geklappt hat, ich kann es kaum erwarten vor der phantastischen Kulisse im Signal Iduna Park im BVB-Trikot aufzulaufen."

Da Valdez bei den Bremern noch bis 2007 unter Vertrag stand, wurde eine Ablösesumme von 4,7 Millionen Euro für den Torjäger fällig. BVB-Geschäftsführer Hans-Joachim Watzke sagte nach dem erfolgreichen Transfer: "Wir freuen uns, dass wir mit Bremen zu einer Einigung gekommen sind, denn Nelson ist unser Wunsch-Stürmer." Auch Sportdirektor Michael Zorc ist von den Qualitäten des Spielers überzeugt: "Nelson ist ein torgefährlicher Spieler, der unsere Mannschaft sofort verstärken wird und noch hohes Entwicklungspotenzial besitzt." Valdez kam vor fünf Jahren von seinem Heimatklub Atletico Tembetary an die Weser. Dort spielte er zunächst bei den Amateuren, bevor er in der Bremer Meistersaison 2003/04 Profi wurde. Letzte Saison erzielte er in 30 Spielen neun Tore (kicker-Durchschnittsnote: 3,29).

Spielersteckbrief
Nelson Valdez
Dortmund bastelt bereits intensiv an der Zukunft des Vereins. Valdez ist nach dem Südafrikaner Steven Pienaar von Ajax Amsterdam und Martin Amedick vom Zweitligisten Eintracht Braunschweig der dritte Neuzugang des BVB. Außerdem wurde am Montag der Weg zum Rückkauf des Signal Iduna Parks freigemacht. Die rund 5800 Zeichner des Commerzbank- Fonds Molsiris akzeptierten das Angebot des BVBs und treten die letzten verbliebenen Anteile am Stadion (51,2 Prozent) an die Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co. KgaA ab. "Dieser Stadionrückkauf", betont Hans-Joachim Watzke (46), "ist der Schlüssel für unsere Zukunft."

 

Yep. Very true. We have Valdez now! Don't have a price, but I'll bet it was around 3.5M-4M.

I did a translation for the official site. I don't think KC has posted it yet though.

I guess they will continue working on Frei now. However, I wouldn't waste time with that. Again, I'd make FCK an offer for Sanogo. He's the kind of guy we need to replace Koller.

I consider Valdez an "improvement", not a "replacement" for anyone.

 

Great to see that the deal has gone through, especially with the World Cup so close to starting. While it would have perhaps been unlikely, all it ever takes is a couple of goals from a player during the tournament and suddenly their transfer value seem to rapidly increase. Just as I'm sure Arsenal were happy to secure Rosicky in the same manner, I'm pleased we've been able to wrap this up so soon.

 

i agree that it's ridiculous how much a few good performances can improve a player's market value. a headed goal from a corner kick for a defender seems to be the most dramatic supplement. strikers who bag a goal or two often tend to draw a lot of interest as well.

 

hehe are you BVB Fan now, with Valdez joining us? *G*

 

i've been a bit of one for a while now. i was ready to jump off the bandwagon with Rosicky leaving (he's my favorite player by far), as pitiful as that may sound. but the signing of Valdez is nice. you're still my favorite side in Germany for sure. i like your jerseys, fans, and generally the quality of play. Bayern seems to be a little sharper with the Paraguayan recruiting but i'm not super attached to Paraguay anyway. to be honest i'm more of a USA fan. i just lived there for a while during my folks' service in the Peace Corps. i'll be a regular around these boards, though, methinks.

 

Cool! The more fans we have around here the better! We've got a BVB e-mail list at Yahoogroups too if you're interested in that. We're actually an official BVB fan club too.

 

looks like bvb does not really know how to do business. I mean when Rosicky was worth so high even Inter Milan were after him, they didn't sell him. Now only sell him to Arsenal for that amount of money which is definitely not good. I think Rosicky is extremely good also he is very young, but don't know why he want to leave. Also, Metzelder was worth a lot of money back then even Real Madrid was after him, but they didn't sell him. Now Metzelder isn't worth much and they are selling him? OMG, this suck. o, anyone know what happen to Metzelder's younger brother? I didn't hear any news about him for long time. Maybe dortmund can promote him to play alongside with his brother.

 

selling players when they're not as valuable to the club isn't a bad idea. Arsenal will certainly wait until Thierry's transfer price isn't so steep to offload him.

 

You know some teams don't see players only as something to bargain, thats why UEFA will implement a europewide salary cap, for most teams players are also important for their daily routine (They shall play ********ing soccer and shall have a ********ing chance) Plus NO team ever wanted to give more than the 10 Mio Arsenal gave us. And if the player don't wants to go to a certain club, no club in the world can force em. They are maybe Semi-Slaves, but they ain't fully slaves, with the teams being their masters.

 

I think 'HeyaBVB' answered this very well. BTW, Malte Metzelder was released before this past season. We let him go because he sucks.

 

sahin is in talks with arsenal asociates

 

Totally off subject. I am an American who wants to know the truth about the US International Tony Sanneh. How many real league games did he play in Nuremberg? How many real games did he play in Hertha Berlin? My estimation is that he played about 10 games/season possibly. I suspect it was much much less. Please help. Searching for the truth in soccer. He has played now 6 games in the US and will receive about 1.2 million dollars- a fortune for a US league player. Please help.

 

15 for hertha in 99/00, 12 in 00/01, 30 for nuremberg in 01/02, 15 in 02/03, another 7 in 03/04. but he was injured that time.

he was a decent player back then, can still remember the time after worldcup 02 when arsenal wanted to sign him from us in exchange for japanese international junichi inamoto.

 

Hi
Even though I am an avid Dortmund fan, I had not been on this Dortmund forum for a while.
From what I understand, we signed Frei (or are really close to?); the team is also very interested in Tinga (Brazilian); and what other signings has the team made?
I was personally hoping we could get Podolski, but he decided to go to Bayern...what a shame, to me at least .

Thanks for the info. These are the status quo numbers. I am wondering if the 30 games at Nuremberg were for the 1st team and in actual real league games (as opposed to reserve team and cup competitions)? I am in your gratitude. Thanks.

 

Jan Koller signed at Monaco until 2008.

 

He got a demotion if you ask me.

 

Question:

When did Real Madrid showed some interest in signing Cristoph Metzelder?

I think Metzlder is top class, and hope that he recovers his full form soon and regain his top level.Anybody think he'll be able to do this.
