Todd to Borussia

[Pugin 601]

Nail it on. Possibly the best deal for everyone.

[Greavsy 2,413]

Cant see Farke wanting him there personally. unfortunately

Two quotes from the recent press conference.

Roland Virkus (DOF): "The way Daniel got promoted with Norwich convinced us. His team was defined by its footballing approach. He worked with a lot of youngsters and had a good structure in the team."

Daniel Farke: "I think it is important that a club has clear values and a strong identity. Borussia stands for possession, dominance, creativity and a love of the game. I can identify with all of these things."

 

[TIL 1010 4,746]

When did TC and Farke have a reconciliation ?

[Herman 9,765]

Which Borussia, there's a few of them.

Hopefully they’ve got the budget to practice that successfully, we didn’t.

Dortmund. It's a straight swap with Jude Bellingham. 😀

using my football translator - working with youngsters = no significant money to spend 

[GenerationA47 752]

Could see Max being sounded out, perhaps a stepping stone to Bayern for real. (<-- and I don't mean for Real)

Todd did well 40 minutes down the road, just over the border, proving he can hack it abroad which is key (OK obviously at a completely different level back then). If Todd 'n' Dan hadn't fallen out footballing-wise can imagine it being an amazing 'rebirth' opportunity for Todd

keeping it 'unReal' for clarity...

[cambridgeshire canary 6,717]

Think Farke would quit if Todd came anywhere close to joining him there

[Terminally Yellow 2,448]

I would be willing to bet a fair substantial amount of money Gladbach won't come anywhere near any Norwich player, let alone Todd.

In hoping he takes Sargent. He won't though because he's ****

There's only one where they have a Director of Football called Roland Virkus (Borussia Monchengladbach).

I was replying to the vague title. 

[TeemuVanBasten 3,327]

They have 24 year old French International Marcus Thuram on their left wing, son of legendary Lilian Thuram. 

Farke isn't interested in any of our wingers, none of them are of the required standard for his new club.

His new squad is a significant upgrade on ours.

Can only see him being interested in Pukki as a squad player.

I think there is more chance of Farke greasing the internal  wheels so that Webber can become Gladbach’s sporting director…..

Their fans weren't speaking to highly of Thuram, when someone mentioned them signing Rashica they said at least we can sell Thuram for €20m then

[dylanisabaddog 4,921]

TC struggles with the English language. German is probably a step too far

[Capt. Pants 4,234]

Only player of ours Farke might remotely be interested in is Rashica.

I'm hoping he doesn't fit the 'a lot of youngsters' quote!

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749]

If Farke still feels anything for us he'll buy back Sargent for the money he had a hand in paying for him!!

[AJ 1,220]

You do realise under our current structure Farke probably didn't sanction moves for many of these players, Webber did. Farkes job was just to try and get the most out of them so he won't be coming back for players like Sargent. As for Cantwell given he was given out, absolutely not a chance. 

 

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749]

I refuse to believe that Farke had no say at all in last summer's signings...especially those coming from Germany

Indeed after the Signing of Sargent , I recall Farke reeling off his 'supposed' strengths and how 'lucky' we were to get him

Apparently Farke was very disappointed by the club's transfer window and didn't feel it was good enough. We know from his time at Huddersfield that Webber likes the German market so I doubt Farke had that much say in the signings last summer. 

And he was hardly going to tell the press that he didn't rate a new signing, even if he wasn't a fan.

There’s some real mixed messages from various journalists sources on last summer, some saying he was unhappy others saying he wanted some or all of those players. Also mention that he had veto on all transfers. Love to know what the truth was.
