I was absolutely sure Nick Powell would be the next big thing for us. Now he plays for Stoke. Just like with James Wilson (League Two Port Vale). Us fans get easily excited.
Both should have done so much better. Wilson had everything he needed but got injured at the worst time. Nick Powell probably suffered from the change in manager as did Zaha of course.

It does go to show how important mental strength is to make it as a top tier pro.

Doesn't say that he has completed his medical. All they say is that he is having his medical today.

I think you'll find...


Jadon #Sancho completed in #Manchester the compulsory medical check-up. The execution of the change is getting closer. With the transfer, the personnel planning of the #BVB Pick up speed

No, "absolvierte" (past tense) would be completed. They simply say that he is having his medical today.

German is a complicated language. ;)
Ok so what does absolviert mean in this context? I'm intrigued...

We're back at English folks lecturing Germans about the finer points of their language, I see. As unplayable correctly stated: past tense would be absolvierte.

I only used the word "complete" to make it easier for you. Like I said before, they say that he is having his medical today.

Am I really seeing someone arguing with Germans over their own language with regards to whether he's completed this medical or not?

I'm only joking I used Google translate, I don't pretend to know German

I'm about 25% German and part Swiss too. I feel a sense of purpose to learn the language and visit the Countries as I have never been, but it seems just a balls ache.

I was reading the fire exit drills on the door of the Premier Inn recently. The English was "the fire exit is located here" and the German translation was about 25 words, each about 60 letters long.

Learning German is realtively easy for for English speakers. The hardest part is memorizing vocabulary. Grammatically it's closer to English than most other European languages as far as structure and word order.

I know this from secondary school, past and future tenses always catch me out in translation. That's the bit I couldn't always get my head around.

That being said, I guess a source close to BVB were behind in this news as others have now said its been completed :rolleyes:

I actually think it's funny that people give such importance to Eckners transfer reporting. The guy used to be a tactics blogger, who writes free-lance analytical pieces. He's excellent at that, but there is no way in hell someone with his profile gets that amount of hot transfer infos. He's just another one, who is milking desperate PL fans for retweets and likes.

Formal German in manuals and such is quite convoluted, but on the other hand the freedom to just put together compound words as you please also makes it simpler to express or label certain things. E.g. Schadenfreude.

Possible that he has just got a bit lucky with contacts for this particular transfer? Or he is a glorified aggregator.

Chelsea fan posting a negative Varane tweet as soon as they saw it. They are desperate for it not to happen, don't they? :lol:

I don't know, technically it's always possible that he made connections with other journalists. But it's the reporters that cover all the training sessions, work for local papers or big papers and tv stations with clout that cultivate relationships with players and officials to get the genuine scoops. Not someone who more or less does online journalism from home.
But he's a really good analyst and given he's also got a phd in history I assume he's genuinely smart, so he's probably one of the best, when it comes to picking out rumors.

Chelsea buying all the young talent at a time when due to a pandemic most of the large players can't afford the spend. It's smart and completely disgusting.
Thats what Warren Buffet says.Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.” lets say young players are like stocks for the club.
