I didn't fully understand why Bayern let him go for free, he was more or less constantly improving in his last season for us. A new contract and then sending him to Hertha on a loan would have been smarter, imo.
Bayern offered him a contract but Weiser wanted more playtime so he declined.
We let him go because we felt he was never really good enough -at least not good enough to get the kind of patient playing time with us which he apparently needed to show he might actually be good enough. That's always the paradox with 20/21 year old youngsters at a club as big as ours.
It's not revisionist because I said the same thing already when he left
He wasn't mature enough to seriously challenge for the RB position, and there was no way for him getting past his competion on the right wing. Kind of a getting caught between a rock and a hard place situation.It's not revisionist because I said the same thing already when he left
I'm not debating any of this, especially the part about going to Hertha. I'm just saying the smart thing would have been to keep an option of getting him back on our own terms.
He's been doing great so far, and has achieved a bit of a shooting star status. If he continues on like that, he's destined for greater things longterm
Perhaps the player ifself wasn't to keen on such an option
I watch him play every week and honestly, i'm glad we have him, but he is nowhere near good enough for Bayern and i doubt he will ever be good enough. He is slightly above our "average level" and that's enough to be one of our key players.
I see, thank you! Heard that he's a very, very likeable character as well and even though he's younger than most of his players he earned the respect in the dressing room really fast with his level of dedication in details.
Knowing your shit gets you far in terms of respect. Sheer Aptitude is the most likely explaination.
Just what we need. Another player with a poor attitude. No thanks.
They're wearing shirts made of recycled plastic today.
Yeah, made out of plastic bags collected at the coast of the Maldives or something like that. Great idea in my opinion.
. Perfect Hattrick in less than half an hour.To be fair it was probably very hard not to score at least three goals for him.I see Auba has been truly traumatized by his one game suspension
That's a very nice idea. I like it.
He has scored more in this game than the whole Hamburg side did in 10 games this seasonHardest match of Aubameyang's life! According to the Sky commentator he's now scored 7 league goals more than the entire opposition team this season
.Could this be the season they finally get relegated... the caf rejoices!He has scored more in this game than the whole Hamburg side did in 10 games this season
Well, not so good. Find it more odd that Rafinha and Bernat are starting and Lahm, Kimmich and Alaba are on the bench. No clue what Ancelotti is doing.
Is Martinez on the bench? Just asking, he won't play midfield either way.
