    Filip Kostic (winger from Stuttgart) is having a Medical at HSV today... they're adding some pretty good attacking talent in this window. I think they'll be pretty fun to watch this year.

    Kostic is a good player, one of the very few Stuttgart players to impress over the last two seasons of dumpster fires that that club has turned in: unlike too many Serb players I've seen he doesn't lose his shit when the team is under pressure, he just works harder. The fact that he and Halilovic are ex-Yugoslavs means that Halilovic will have someone around to help him integrate & communicate.

    A few posts back I was looking for midfield support for Bobby to play as a designated CF. Looks like HSV are signing those players, both of who are young, like Bobby. Looks good so far and the window has another 6 weeks to go.

    Technically Halilovic is not an ex-Yugoslav; dude is only 20 years old. But yeah, this team is shaping up real good.

    They lost 0-1

    I'll go on the record now and say that the first game he gets to play with the starters, he'll score.

    I might be mixing him up with someone else but if my serves me right he's a traditional target forward. Bobby could play next to him in a two forward system. I believe Hamburg plays with 1 up top tho.

    his stats on wikipedia seem decent. 25 goals in 84 league matches. Nothing Bobby can't emulate ;)

    Lasogfa reminds me of the old joke about a club's "statuesque centre forward; statues have more movement." :thumbsdown:

    Seriously though, if Bobby can't beat him for a place then he's not BL1 standard.

    Lasogga's old nickname was "lasagna", partly because he was never the skinniest dude on the pitch.

    Then, out of nowhere, the soccer world acquired a real lasagna -- Kevin Lasagna of Carpi, also a fairly hefty target striker (5 goals in Serie A last season, with Carpi relegated).

    I reckon either of them could shed a few pounds if they ate more carp and fewer carbs.

    Yes, hip pointers can be bruises to the tissue or bone (iliac crest, etc). At least as I understand. I guess there are other places to bruise the pelvis but maybe not as common? Don't know.

    I think what determines his season is how he combines with other attackers and, in that, Schipplock and Lasogga are vastly different types. So, does Bruno go with Big&Small or will two mobile strikers provide for a better alternative in matches where HSV has to sit back and counter?

    the advantage of Wood is he can play the mobile role or the physical role
