Number9 272 Posted January 14, 2020 Fahrman on Instagram posted a strange video this evening. Basically if him driving away from Colney, it was dark so I'm assuming it was filmed this evening too? This is very different from his normal content. Anyone heard any rumours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Number9 272 Posted January 14, 2020 His normal videos are all of a certain style, this is completely out of his usual, like he's saying goodbye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 995 Posted January 14, 2020 Maybe it his comment on the gale force winds, maybe it was dark because there had been a power cut....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted January 14, 2020 Bloody hope not, unless we have another keeper coming in. It probably wouldn’t be the biggest surprise though (and free up another o/s spot) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,351 Posted January 14, 2020 For those of us that speak a little German, song playing basically refers to finishing work for the day. Suppose that could still suggest he's finished up his work with us completely, but just as easily is a random days-end post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I noticed that, it can be as simple as finishing work, but not necessarily just for the day - perhaps tellingly it can also be used as a goodbye after or from work. My gut feeling tells me it’s the latter, the goodbye part of it is the key word - it’s a cryptic way of saying he’s on his way I think. I guess all will be revealed very soon...

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted January 15, 2020 I've just had a look at the video and it does seem a little ominous, especially with the club badge in the wingmirror as he drives away... I guess it would free up another non-homegrown slot, assuming we bring in a homegrown keeper to warm the bench. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terminally Yellow 2,440 Posted January 15, 2020 I wouldn't be even slightly surprised if he left during January. It sounds like Fahrmann has an opportunity to get back into the first team picture at Schalke next season with their keeper off to Bayern. Can see him wanting first team football for six months to show Wagner what he can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 4,938 Posted January 15, 2020 I think a couple of people have said Farke rates Archie Mair, maybe now our back four seems more settled, if not any less porous, he might think Krul, McGovern and Mair is preferable - and frees up cash. Fahrman’s loan can’t be cheap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggy 739 Posted January 15, 2020 Wouldn’t be shocked. Frankly, we aren’t going to stay up playing safe, so if risking a young lad/McGovern as back up means we can loan in an outfield player who might just make a difference then all for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're going to have to get used to this. The PFA has started a best-director award for Instagrams. Fahrmann is plainly going for a moodily crepuscular style based on the German Expressionist films of the 1920s, but apparently faces stiff competition from Mrs Vardy with a more Benny Hill-inspired poster-colour view of footballers' wives and their knockabout lives, complete with annoyingly 'fun' music. A dark-horse entry to keep an eye on is from the entire Ipswich Town squad, of a ravaged post-apocalyptic landscape, devoid of people. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted January 15, 2020 Re social media - I personally enjoy it far more regarding football news, it’s a hell of a lot more interesting than the old days for sure, and I think most people would agree. The Amadou signing in particular being a great case in point if people remember the story around that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,447 Posted January 15, 2020 Social media provides for more possibilities for news of players. It's a force for good but a double edged sword. Footballers don't often have much to really say do they? Unless it's Eric Cantona. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
