[Albion] Fabian Hürzeler **SINGED 15/06/2024**

holybanjo playing the offended liver sausage on this thread is quite funny.

A new insult has arrived on NSC and is likely to be well used hereon in! Watch people’s faces if you let it slip in everyday conversation though

I posted earlier in the thread, as soon as this name came up I did a bit of research and just knew he’d be the target. Ticks every box, young, progressive style, unproven but promising start to his career and budget-friendly.

Was funny watching the mixture of people losing their minds about Potter, or a handful getting excited about him, when it was never, ever going to happen.

I hope this comes off because it’s clear he’s Tony’s guy at this point and I back our owner and hierarchy 100%.

So not every box

So not every box

If he was proven he wouldn’t come, and another top side would have him. In the sense of our recruitment criteria I’d say he ticks every box for the pool we’re fishing in if that makes sense.

Under RDZ a lot of our players got used to playing 2+ positions (about 5 for Groß!), depending on the game / opponents / injuries / rotation. Now it's just about doing it mid-game in a planned, co-ordinated way. It might take a while but this could (and I think it will) work brilliantly. DeZerbiBall with a plan B, C and D, and solid out of possession. Or it could be chaos.

I know he'll adapt to whatever players he has, but I think CB/DM is going to be so important. Van Hecke? Baleba?

Either way it will be really interesting, very exciting and a bit terrifying.

I can't wait.

Some of these everyday German sayings are hilarious… and they’ll all help you see the world a little differently. Which one is your favourite?

2: “Warum spielst du die beleidigte Leberwurst?”

In English this translates quite hilariously to, “Why are you playing the offended liver sausage?”. This is one of my favourite German sayings because I feel you can only appreciate the strangeness of it if you’re not a native speaker.

You’d use this to ask someone why they’re throwing a tantrum or overreacts to something trivial.

It’s crying out for an emoji too

“Hürzeler saw the spine of his team depart last summer to the Bundesliga, the Netherlands and Austria. His response was to go and win a league title regardless.”


“De Zerbi saw his brilliant central midfield partnership depart last summer to his Premier League rivals. His response was to have a massive ****ing sulk in the January transfer window that affected team morale and ultimately, was never overcome.”


Game, set and match - Hürzeler

The gulf in class will be big though.

We lost Caicedo and Mac but still had WBG and Baleba, Hurzeler midfield this season was spearheaded by Jackson Irvine, the Aussie previously at Burton Albion and Hull City.

The last two plane trackings we’ve had were Jahanbakhsh and Fati, so for that reason I’ve put the flight radar 24 down and will shortly be finding myself a job round the house. Can’t be too careful.

 

[sydney]

Are you suggesting that RDZ was playing the offended liver sausage

that would be Blooms wurst nightmare

 

[Krafty]

On the lookout on Flight Radar

 

[jcdenton08]

Haven’t checked myself yet, but my mate just told me a few bookies have closed the market on Hürzeler being next manager. Showing best price @ 1/20 at the moment for a couple of places on oddschecker.

Short of a spectacular failure with agreeing personal terms, this is a done deal.

Irivine of course helped us get promoted in 2016/17. scored that last minute goal away to Huddersfield that was celebrated memorably in the Amex just as we were filing out from beating Blackburn >> https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39390888

Slightly off topic, but how do you guys get the umlaut on Windows?

Stand close to the window and exhale. Then take two fingers and run them a short distance down the misted pane.

Anyone know enough about Bundesliga 2 to know what the predictions were for how St Pauli would do last season? Was the league title expected or them over achieving? & did they out spend others to do it?

No idea what the bookies etc predicted but their promotion didn’t happen in a vacuum or because they increased their spending.

They were 4/1 2nd Favourites to win it

I can see a plane circling Gatwick. Do you think it might be him?

Cabin crew, prepare for landing.

 

[Weststander]

Expecting a post from someone with close family connections to Hürzeler and his time in Bavaria .... stating he's crap.

 

[Midget]

My stepson just said he looks like Pocognoli and now I can't unsee it
