The Dog 21 Posted May 21 (edited) Given he was very much Wagner's man I think it is very likely that Fassnacht will depart this summer. Never seemed to have the right credentials to have a real impact in the championship. If/when goes he will join the pantheon of players that will be quickly forgotten IMO.

So he’s not definitely departing? Reading that was 30 seconds I’ll never get back 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 6,590 Posted May 21 (edited) I think he could be a classic second-season man, straight out of the Vrancic/Stiepermann mould. There's an intelligent, hard-working player in there who's got a knack for a back-post finish. He's just not overly quick and traditionally in the Champs, pace is needed down the wings. EDIT: Was going to mention Lukas Rupp as well, but Rupp did have pace, unlike Vrancic and Stiepermann. Edited May 21 by TheGunnShow 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,538 Posted May 21 There's a player there. Think he will look a lot more comfortable in a team controlling the ball a bit more, his technique is excellent and he's an intelligent footballer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a decent, clever player in there that I think didn't really suit the style that Wagner wanted to play. I think as an option he's a good player to have.

Capt. Pants 4,504 Posted May 21 I think we're more likely to move Onel on if it means feeing up a bit of wages If we're moving to possession based, highly technical players will be required. Fassnacht is a better fit than Hernandez. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 6,590 Posted May 21 (edited) Fassnacht reminds me of Stiepermann somewhat, just from a different starting position. Doesn't hit as many risky throughballs as Stiepi did, but he's got that similar combination of game intelligence and rangy/gangly awkwardness going on.

jaberry2 597 Posted May 21 Fassnacht needs another season so he has time to adjust. Clever player, just low on confidence and lack of minutes has hampered his progress. Reset on pre season and see what he can do under a new manager Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty13 2,494 Posted May 21 I think there’s a really good player there somewhere, he’s certainly got the knack of being in the right place right time for a shot and that’s priceless. A lot depends on who comes in and what they see but I’m not so sure Fassnacht is going to want away just because Wagner’s gone, he did an interview a while back and was clear he wanted to play in England and was enjoying the opportunity.

Barham Blitz 714 Posted May 21 He strikes me as somebody that could possibly be benefit from being played more centrally or in a different system - perhaps wide in our previously classic 4-2-3-1 in a Cantwell / Buendia style inside forward / three quarter role. As others have commented, he has some worthy attributes but isn't suited to whatever you would call Wagner's system which seemingly needed pace out wide* *although my understanding of how he initially seemed to want to play it - with the wide forwards moving inside ahead of the strikers to allow the width from advanced full backs - wouldn't need this, it isn't how it seemed to pan out over the season.

Satriales 786 Posted May 21 They weren't exactly screamers but he managed to get 6 goals, joint 4th highest scorer for us in the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
