[Football] Pascal Gross chased by Red Bull Leipzig

[jamie the seagull]

Reluctant Nicko Tweet today ( Alan Nixon : Journo).

Brighton. Pascal Gross being chased by Red Bull Leipzig. Old boss Ralf Rangnick. Need big money. #bitinpaper

 

[Superphil]

Mmm, we don’t really want that kind of attention do we?

 

[Ernest]

How could they afford the £50million + to buy him

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Surely just paper talk.

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

am I right in thinking the striker who failed his medical plays there ?

 

[Wellesley]

What a load of Red Bullshit.

 

[dwayne]

Never gonna happen. They’ve lost red bull sponsorship as well I believe

On a contract here until 2021. We're just going to let him go as long as we recoup the money we spent on him, aren't we........yeh, right.

 

[SweatyMexican]

£30 Million and a new set of kit.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

I want to have sex with Mila Kunis. In no way is this ever going to happen...

Leipzig, the most hated club in Germany for obvious reasons.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

Liverpool did just give them £75 million for Naby Kieta. If their opening bid is £50 million it might open negotiations.

Note: I would hate to see Gross leave. He has been a joy to watch this season - I have never seen a player cross the ball like he does for the Albion. Player of the Season hands down.

The hate in Germany for this franchise corporate 'brand' of a club makes the dislike of MK appear mild by comparison. I don't doubt they have the potential funds to make a bid. Really hope it doesn't happen. At least in midfield he'd be less likely in the firing line for a severed cows head, like the keeper was last season.

Raphael Dwamena? No, he plays for FC Zurich, but he did come through the Academy that Red Bull has in Africa.

Wouldn’t happen in Germany

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

If Alan "Boss of Goss" Nixon says it's going to happen, rest assured - it's not.

 

[bluenitsuj]

100 million. That should see them lose interest

 

[AmexRuislip]

This is going to happen, as much as Haha representing the Ivory Coast in their Olympic diving squad
Not a chance.

 

[larus]

£5m and I’ll drive him there.
No pace.
No vision.
Goes missing in games.
One trick pony. Oh yeah, he can do a turn.
We’d be mugging them. Take the money.

The Mitteldeutsche Zeitung which covers the Leipzig area carried the story yesterday. Their slant on it; despite the connection of Gross having played under the head coach previously at Ingolstadt, the story is considered a load of 'kacke.' Or words similar. Lets hope that proves to be the case.

Article halfway down: https://rblive.de/2018/04/23/emil-forsberg-nicht-mehr-unverkaeuflich-interesse-an-pascal-gross/

Rough translation:

Reunification of Ralph Hasenhüttl and Pascal Groß?

It is unlikely reports from England suggesting RB Leipzig might be interested in Pascal Groß are true. He once played under Ralph Hasenhüttl at Ingolstadt & was a central figure in promotion to the Bundesliga. A year ago, he moved to the Premier League with Brighton & Hove for a few million and is a regular player.

However, at the age of 27, Pascal Groß will no longer fit into the search criteria at RB Leipzig, where, with a few exceptions, you can get suitable players up to the age of 23. Even the shared past with Ralph Hasenhüttl could not be viable as the future of the coach beyond the end of the season season is unclear.


As a side issue: Director of football at Leipzig is former Southwick legend Ralph Rangnick who once went to uni across the road from the Amex. Was suggested in some circles as a replacement for Oscar & Hyypia when they departed.
