Terminally Yellow 2,448 Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Let's get this thread started with a rumour from the Pink Un Jean-Paul Boetius, 28 year old, out of contract midfielder from Mainz. Seemingly once thought very highly of but has lost his way a bit in recent seasons. Edited May 4, 2022 by Terminally Yellow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,738 Posted May 4, 2022 The thing is what is his injury record over the last couple of seasons ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 4,916 Posted May 4, 2022 He's played 31 games this season for a team that will probably finish about 8th in the Bundesliga. 18 appearances for the Dutch U21's and a game for the Dutch full national team. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 6,716 Posted May 4, 2022 There I was thinking we were over signing players who cant cut it in Germany.. Nope not learned our lesson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted May 4, 2022 The photo they chose made me think he was the player busting a gut in blue shirt - but no its the one looking passive in orange. Perfect fit for us then lol  3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danke bitte 965 Posted May 4, 2022 In fairness I’d rather us by cheap and under the radar than expensive (for us) with fanfare and then have high expectations for a belly flop to happen. Norwich City transfers is a harsh mistress who I have learned the hard way to pay little to no heed of. 😢 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HazzaJet 252 Posted May 4, 2022 Although I’m not usually 100% against signing free agents I think I am with this one. When I first started reading the article I thought he would be a good signing (Dutch international, 28 years old, 31 Bundesliga apps this season) but when I read that he’s managed just 2 goals and 2 assists from 31 games in the Bundesliga this season (and from dylan that he’s earnt only 1 cap for his country) I’m against it now. He might be ok for the Championship but an attacking midfielder/winger who’s managed just 2 goals and 2 assists from 31 games in the Bundesliga would be utterly hopeless in the PL (I know we’re not looking for PL quality but I would like us to sign some players that sound positive in the Championship) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ged in the onion bag 855 Posted May 4, 2022 Unless we sort out the shambolic scouting system, then rather we played the kids than spend any more money. Another rumour back on FB is old 'El Khazi' and Davis from Villa.... suspect nothing to it but if we go down that route it really is curtains. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trying to sign a player who has played 31 games out of 32 for a team that looks like finishing 8th in the Bundesliga.

To say your 100% against just because he's "only" got 2 goals and 2 assists is a bit premature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So your plan for promotion is not to loan any decent players and now on top of that to play our academy team? I wouldn’t wait for that call from Stuart Webber any time soon.  (Still not having a go at you BTW, just joshing) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
