stefan92's latest activity

  • To be fair to him Klopp had a decade of top level experience, had won two titles in a row, a domestic double, broken the BL points record and reached a CL final. After this season Alonso in the very optimistic best case has won the small treble...
  • It would fit his career so far if he stays at Leverkusen and turns down offers now. He also didn't jump at the first Bundesliga offers. Gladbach tried their luck before Leverkusen and then he thought it wasn't right for him at the time.
  • :lol: good one, I actually didn't get it. The question "who was the first German" however likely breaks the scope of this forum, along the question "what even is a German?" :nervous:
  • stefan92 replied to the thread Ralf Rangnick | Austria manager.
    In a way they are already past that stage... They essentially replaced their entire board during the last year
  • stefan92 replied to the thread Ralf Rangnick | Austria manager.
    Kicker (reputable German football news) report that he is Bayern's second choice behind Alonso to become their next manager. Which is interesting as it always appeared like his personality would inevitable lead to trouble with the old Bayern...
  • Bert Trautmann is a City legend, isn't he? It's not like no German players played in Manchester, they just did for the other club there.
  • Nonetheless he speaks German fluently and quite good.
  • No he isn't. You replied to a post about Ödegaard ;)
  • It's not only him. Koeman already talked about wanting to increase the squad size and said that Nagelsmann would agree on this. But in the end UEFA has to decide. Ultimately this is also a question about how to balance the tournament between big...
  • I'm absolutely not surprised by those stats. It fit's with my perception that Kimmich too often tries to be at the heart of the action even when that's not the smartest move for a player supposed to orchestrate. That's just not what Kimmich...
  • stefan92 replied to the thread 'Pep' Guardiola sack watch.
    It's not very clear as Heynckes and Hoeneß are good friends and their conversation mostly still are treated as confidential by both. But it is known that Heynckes thought Hoeneß was making a mistake by going after Guardiola and at least hinted...
  • He has said that he plans with Kimmich as RB. I don't know if this is because there are better CM options than RB options or if it is because he doesn't want him in the CM. I think the big difference between Kroos and Kimmich is their movement...
  • Then I misremembered and it was "developing and promising youngster" vs "key part of the team and regularly starting". Anyway point is Dortmund offered both more high-level playing time and more money.
  • I am very sure that we won't see Kimmich in midfield again under Nagelsmann as he quite clearly identified him playing there as a problem. Also Kroos obviously is the one the team is built around now, and he isn't that weak defensively that he...
  • Stats don't tell stories... I think Ibrahimovic simply created more memorable moments than Lewandowski ever did. In terms of quality I don't really think there is a gap between them
