Militant Canary 0 Posted April 25, 2013 Hey, hey!Been talking with some of my German friends. They understand we''ve been scouting Hoffenheim in recent weeks. They think we''re looking at Sebastian Rudy.Hoffenheim have had a terrible season and, despite doing well last season, face relegation. Rudy himself has had a dodgy time of late, and has just come back from a long injury suffered at the end of 2012.Good player. 23 years old defensive midfielder. Really can''t be sure that there is anything to this, of course. Just passing on what I''ve been told. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skerritt 0 Posted April 25, 2013 Would be happy with a signing like this. Looks like a good prospect and we could use another player who sounds like Ruddy in the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Budapest Canary 152 Posted April 25, 2013 Don''t know the player (yet) but with this name he won''t have any problem blending in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 0 Posted April 25, 2013 Busdapest,Quite - imagine a match day squad with a Ruddy, Rudy and Rudd as well as a pair of Bennetts and a Barnett! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted April 25, 2013 Not forgetting 2 Sebastians! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 0 Posted April 25, 2013 Norfolkbroadslim,I am praying that somewhere out there, a player called Rudy Sebastian or Ruud Van Sebastian or Sebatsian Bennett exists!!Apologies to the OP - sounds like a decent inexpensive player, please update if you hear anymore about this. Also, is there any chance that we are looking at other Hoffenheim players? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morisons Prozac 0 Posted April 25, 2013 Great player if true. A step up from Tettey and Johnson , which we need to find to continue to develop our team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted April 27, 2013 Is another defensive Midfielder a priority not sure myself. We need cover at CB, LB a bit more creativity in Midfield and some pace, possibly another striker as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanna Grey 0 Posted April 27, 2013 We have two defensive midfielders, getting one in that could pass forward would help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

star_manic 0 Posted April 27, 2013 [quote user="Yorkshire Canary"]Is another defensive Midfielder a priority not sure myself. We need cover at CB, LB a bit more creativity in Midfield and some pace, possibly another striker as well[/quote]definitely. a DM that can defend and attack with an array of passing skills would do away with the need for two DMs to play, thus increasing our attacking options. this is a must if we are to get the best out of RvW next season.
