Seems a good move to get this stupid age restriction out of the way. He was generally a good ref.


Did you read that full Zeit interview with Gräfe? That man is on an incredible revenge tour, absolutely zero **** given. He destroyed Felix Zwayer in a couple of lines in a way that would make most battle rappers jealous.

While reading that I was just thinking to myself "Holy **** Manuel, that man has a family!"

I only read that he pointed out Zwayer should not be a professional referee.

And I agree with that.
Not even talking about his shady history with Hoyzer where he has lost all credibility to ever be a referee again in my eyes…even for Kreisliga. This dude should‘ve been banned for life.

Leaving all these things aside - he is still one of the worst refs in the league.

Fortunately, we rarely have to play under him.

Ngankam to Fürth.
Never understood why he wasnt given a chance last year.

Bold prediction: He will be better than any Berlin striker next year haha

Yeah, it always hurts when a young guy who's been part of the club forever and has been very productive at the youth level leaves without ever really getting a chance to prove himself with the pros. Still think this might end up being a good thing for all parties involved. I'm definitely happy he's staying in the league.

Definitely possible, especially considering that Dardai will probably play Selke again...

Signed Widmer, Lucoqui and Lee so far.

Not the most exciting transfers.

Guess there is just no money available.

Leverkusen signing Bakker from PSG for just 7 mil. seems a pretty good deal.

Hi guys, I'm going to make the new competition and league threads today, but I decided that I'd leave it up to you guys whether you want to make your own thread for the next Bundesliga season or to leave it to me, since Det often makes really content packed OPs and I wouldn't want to deprive the board of that.

Never been in Mallorca except for an hour on the airport on the way to Gran Canaria a couple years back.

My plan is to be on the football pitch every day...will see how that works out since I am just returning from rupture of a muscle fiber in the thigh. :lol:

Cordoba to Krasnodar. Ngankam deal makes even less sense now.

Guess you might really be stuck with watching a lot of Selke this year Nathan lol.

Yeah, the Selke part worries me too. Dardai seems to love him for some reason. I'm not the biggest fan of Cordoba and think you have to take 20 mil for him, though. But yeah, a replacement is needed for sure.

Ngankam just injured his knee badly and will probably never play for Fürth. That really sucks.

Seems like I missed the Ngankam injury. That really sucks. Think he could've played a decent role for Fürth.

Regarding Cordoba. Hertha probably needed to get rid of one of their expensive strikers to sign some new players.
I don't believe those 20 mil. for a second, though. Seems more a number that was leaked by Bobic to not look like an idiot in the media.
Krasnodar record signing is like below 15 mil. Can't believe they would spend 20 on Cordoba these days.

My guess would be the fee is 10 mil. at most.

At the end of the day it's not my money, so I don't really care. Seems like Cordoba really wanted to go there, though, so good for him. I thought signing him was a mistake last season and even though he had a decent year, I won't miss him much.

Let's see what happens with Lukebakio and Cunha. I could easily see both leaving before Bobic spends more money on new players.

Honestly Hertha should get rid of all strikers when they can.
Can't get rid of Piatek with injury but he has been disappointing for sure.
Lukebakio has been criticized for lack of effort for a while.
Cunha - Diva and questionable decision making.
Selke - well he is Selke

Can't really disagree with any of that. I still have some hope for Cunha, but you almost have to sell him for the right offer. Last season was just really bad.
