I do not think Pocognoli was seen as an upgrade on Bong, hence we didnt try to sign him permanently, but judging by his record I would say that Markus Suttner is.

I was never a fan of Bong or Poc to be honest. I agree with others that CH feels this guy is an upgrade, I'm just not sure how much better he is as he was relegated and not picked up by another Bundasliga club.
He does fit our fight for 17th place battle next season, and if we do go down could help us get right back up. Just not sure he is a top flight option but hoping to be proved wrong!

I've got a good feeling about this signing. God knows how anyone can claim he's not Prem quality when we've yet to see him touch a ball in the English game. Looking at some of the youtube clips, he does look tidy and seems to have a sweet left foot when it comes to set-pieces and crosses. I think this could turn out to be a top signing by our recruitment team who are obviously Football manager experts.
PS The 'Can he play left back?' joke has sort of swallowed itself through laughing for too long.
Someone had to say it.

It'll be great to have more set piece options, especially a left footer. Got a really good feeling about both the german lads we have signed.

back to the the subject..
Isn't Ashley Barnes Austrian?
If so, I wonder if he helped persuade Suttner to join us?

Interesting that cost about same as Malone for Udders (though reportedly Malone's fee could rise to £5m); seems as if we were not chasing Malone, who was best LB in Championship. Malone is four years younger too. Guess we have to trust that TB and the team see more in MS; I particularly like that he can take decent set pieces; that was a weakness last season.

I thought that Amavi of Villa was the best against us.

Malome was in the 'expert's' team of the Championship along with Stocko, Bruno and AK.
Is that Salome Malome?

That left foot looks like a peach.
Decent signing. He'll be our number one choice at LB this season.

Agreed, excited about this one. Looking forward to seeing how well he links up with our left wingers....
