Indy 3,300 Posted June 15, 2017 Again a very positive type of signing and in our budget parameters.That said it''s not gamble as it''s free and if he''s not very good we haven''t really lost anything.Good to see us bring in hungry type players who might just be motivated to play and improve rather than spend 8 million and 50k a week for a part time journeymen pro.Would like to see us get rid of few now, just to open more options.

ZLF 274 Posted June 15, 2017 know nothing about him so cant be excited or downcast (he can hardly perform much worse than bennett now can he?) but it adds a body to a position where I would expect at least one more signing.For me this seasons marquee signing has to be at CB.

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted June 15, 2017 [quote user="Armitage Shanks"]Happy clappers excited by really poor signing shocker[/quote]Do you ever think that you might get a bit more out of this board by actually having intelligent discussions with people? Or would that fry your tiny little brain?For the record, my opinion on this signing: he has no pedigree of playing at any level beyond Germany''s fourth tier, so is a complete unknown quantity. Farke''s comment about him not being an automatic selection is telling, though, so he may end up being a squad player. Two-year contract with an option for a third is fair enough - not lumbered with him forever, but enough time to tie him down to a longer contract if he''s successful. Big strong fella by the looks of it, though - we didn''t have a real ''beast'' at the back last season, so maybe he could be that guy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted June 16, 2017 Reasonably happy with this one, plugs a gap seeing as we have just 2 cbs left who hardly set the world alight last year. I suspect we will buy 1 more (probs beilik) and maybe if Klose leaves we will spend a bit of dough on another, more proven option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Renoir 1 Posted June 16, 2017 With Zimmermann''s quotes about being the type of defender who likes to do the basics, a stopper basically and Klose''s comments before about how different the art of defending is in Germany it could be that Farke has decided that even though Zimmermann won''t get far in Germany he would fit in well with this league''s style of football more and be able to play at a higher level here due to the different demands placed on him. As other have said it would appear he''s not being brought in to be a regular starter just yet and is just competition for places. Besides he''s only on a two year deal and can''t be on significant wages, seems a relatively low risk and sensible way to replace Bennett and Turner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,661 Posted June 16, 2017 Perfectly happy with this signing as a squad player - not all players signed need to be out-and-out first team starters (barely any side can afford it to be like that), but they obviously need to be able to fill in when required. This guy''s capabilities are well known to Farke so he is less of a gamble than some would be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stone 0 Posted June 16, 2017 This strikes me as a risk-free signing. Farke is bringing in a player he knows has a great attitude, is intelligent, and has the physique for English football. If he can make the step up and compete for a first team place then that''s great. If not, then we have lost very little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coq au vin 0 Posted June 16, 2017 So by my understanding that makes Zimz, Martin, Klose and, in all probability, Bielik.In all likelihood we''ll lose Klose, so I expect one more CB in. Hopefully a ''marquee signing'', someone with exp. as I''d have reservations going into the season with two fairly inexperienced CB''s and just Russ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted June 16, 2017 Hopefully this is a squad signing with the potential to improve. I would like us to try and take a centre half from a rival in this league who performed well last year. Somebody ready to jump straight in and do a job.
