Well, Der Kicker usually does not spread rumours unless they have some facts. The original article states that we have made contact with Köln / Cologne about the player and what sort of character he is. We seemingly want to wait and see how our midfield developes over the coming days / weeks before adding him straight away, but he is on our list of targets. The player wants to prove himself at a higher level ... and would have been with the U21 European Championship, had it not been for the Bundesliga playoffs. He will be with the German side against the Dutch in the semi-finals, so you might get a glimpse on him there.

Salih Özcan (wee advice: any letter with the double dots on top of them (ä, ö, ü) can also be typed with an e behind the initial vowel, if you keyboard lacks the letter: ae, oe, ue ... though in names this is not commonly done)
 

Just watched this lad in the Euro U21 final.  Wasn't outstanding but some good positioning and definitely potential.

 

I'd imagine playing in that sort of match would bump his price up.

 

As an aside, does anyone know why the players had t-shirts with 'Thank You' in German, Serb-Croat and Turkish?

Good news about Defoe.

Not too keen on this.

 

I think we should be moving him on from the playing squad.

 

He might well be a good coach though. I have no insight into that.  I'm not a fan of players moving in to coach former teammates in general.  I have much more confidence that he will benefit the youth players.

Coaching the forwards can only help them might especially help Itten.

I didn't realise there was a vacancy; who was coaching them up till now? Nevertheless, Defoe is a welcome addition.

Defoe on a 1 year contract as player / coach is a no brainer. So many players have mentioned his influence off the pitch and as he displayed in the last 2 league games, he still knows how to put the ball in the net.

I'm pleased that Zungu's loan is not being made permanent.
