Yellow and Green 334 Posted August 9, 2020 "It appears they are now looking at alternatives with Brondby striker Teemo Pukki and Maribor forward Luka Zahovic mentioned as alternatives". Interesting to think that Pukki wasn't necessarily our first choice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,927 Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Farke worked with him for a year at Dortmund and he had one of his best seasons under him. Scored 15 in 28 that season. Seems to average about 1 in 3 over his career. Scored 15 in 28 last season too (+6 assists) in German championship.

Any idea what he would cost? Don't know much about him personally, but since leaving Dortmund II four years ago, he's played for St Pauli, was loaned out to Holstein Kiel, then sold to Dusseldorf, and then sold to Hannover. Seems to be a prolific goalscorer in the second tier, but hasn't settled at one club despite being relatively clinical. Not sure if that's an attitude thing, or just chance? As Hanover will be in the second tier again next season, he may be a reasonable target for us... 6'2", scoring goals in the second tier... sounds like an upgraded version of Srbeny. Valued at 1.8m by Transfermarkt, so guessing around 3m might be a fair fee? Edited August 9, 2020 by Feedthewolf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An upgrade to Srbeny?, so he is more Plantation Park than Sloughbottom Park?....... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted August 9, 2020 Can't see it happening. Can understand why we might have been interested 2 years ago, after he had a decent season in Bundesliga 2 and ended up moving to the Bundesliga. Career hasn't improved since then, and Webber said that we only want players who genuinely improve the team and could play in the Premiership. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,805 Posted August 9, 2020 Just for reference, if you come across a player in Germany, use the kicker.de website to have a look at him. They're generally quite good at marking player performances and use a scale from 1 (awesome) to 6 (atrocious). As a rough rule of thumb, if they're averaging below 3, they're doing very well indeed that season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,805 Posted August 9, 2020 Actually, here we go. Just called him up on there.https://www.kicker.de/ducksch-marvin-57247/spieler/2-bundesliga/2020-21/hannover-96-58 His average mark ("Note" in German) is 3.54. That's above average (they generally use 4 as average), but not necessarily outstanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,805 Posted August 9, 2020 Srbeny was in the Bundesliga in a struggling Paderborn team as opposed to Ducksch being in a Hannover 96 team that should be amongst the front-runners in the 2. Bundesliga. What is telling, when looking back at earlier seasons, Ducksch was over 4 in the Bundesliga. (Just call up earlier seasons, marks are noted there). He may well not be an improvement on Srbeny. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Hockey's Beard 520 Posted August 10, 2020 I'd contribute to the fee to get Srbeny back, if only for the fun of watching some peoples' reaction. Mentioning no names. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mentioning no names. That's an interesting idea. Which would be the player to get back that would generate the biggest negative reaction? Snodgrass would be funny, purely for Lakey's reaction. He'd probably self-combust. 😉 😂 RVW would certainly generate plenty of comment. Going back a little bit, maybe Mark Fotheringham? He's still playing, and we never did get to see the Fozzy Flick.

Christoph Stiepermann 1,120 Posted August 10, 2020 Ducksch 1 in 16 in the Bundesliga, Srbeny 5 in 17. No thanks. I assume we're linked because his agent in making moves and we have been linked in the past, I doubt we're still interested in him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted August 10, 2020 Well i suppose lots of names will be mentioned but he seems to have the experience and ability to do a job in the championship. assuming Pukki stays and that cannot be taken for granted we need 3 or 4 strikers of varying types to allow us to change tactics. At 6ft 2 ins and a big strong lad he would allow us to go direct if need be and be a threat in the air, on many occasions he could compliment Pukki rather than bean alternative. No point having good fast wingers if we do not have people in the box to put it away. I do not know what fee we would be talking about but i suspect we are not looking to pay more that a couple of million so may fit the bill, time will tell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
