Uwe Hünemeier signs for Albion on a three-year deal

[Man of Harveys]

I'm clearly a bit biased but I do like the cut of his jib. He's latest tweet, after Paderborn narrowly won in the cup after being a goal down at half-time against lower league opposition:

"Not pretty, not great but onwards! Wash your mouth and carry on working hard!" (I don't quite get the mouth thing at all tbh. But he doesn't half sound determined.)

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Seems like a very good addition to squad. Is he fit or will we have to wait a while to see him?

He's played in both of SC Paderbon league games this season so should be fit.

If he's replacing Greer, does this mean that Kayal will be captain on the pitch? Who comes after Calde?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Without being in any way ITK I would agree that the number one aim is for an additional CB rather than a Dunk replacement. Negotiations with Dunk must be continuing with both us and Fulham with the outcome uncertain. It would put us in a position of strength though should he go,

Greer is the interesting factor here. Must be in his last season with us yet named club captain. I've often been critical of him yet I thought he was excellent on Friday. May be harder to shift him than I imagined a month or so ago.

He's clearly on board already. "Wash your mouth my son, and go get your father's gun....."

Yes I know that but don't pretend you knew who they was before, unless you follow German football closely or play champ manager which I don't.

Paderborn is quite a big German town, I think a lot of people would have heard of the football team.

Bruno?

 

[Mr Putdown]

Paderborn finished bottom but Hunemeier was the stand out defender throughout the season and leader at the back of a team that wasn't defensively that poor - it was the other end of the pitch that they really struggled (sound familiar?).

Paderborn had the joint worst goals conceded record (65) in the league last season. Your description far more accurately describes Werder Bremen than Paderborn.

 

[RexCathedra]

Elf kicker? Penalty taker perhaps? (Elf meter is a penalty I believe?)

Genau! (Exactly!)

 

[Goldstone1976]

Who comes after Calde?

Tsk Tsk. No one comes after Calde; he's a true gentleman.

 

[brightn'ove]

Bruno?

Ah yeah

So AFTER Greer, Calde & Bruno, most of whom i imagine wont be playing too much this season, will Kayal be captain on the pitch?

Not sure why the club was only formed in 1985, with only one season in top flight. Maybe I should of been a little more dishonest read wiki before hand and pretend I know all there is to know about football. I'll remember next time.

It really isn't that much of a big deal that I've not heard of the club before. I freely admit I'm a plastic German follower and don't know much about their leagues.

Why this sudden clamour for Kayal to be installed as captain? Good player though I agree he is, he wasn't even captain at his previous club.

If Greer does lose the armband, (although I hope he doesn't), it will be Bruno who is made captain.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Make DUNK captain. That's a statement, right there.

It's cause he's got the biggest gob in the side, and he doesn't stop using it.

Plus there's something of the midfield general about him. And he's better than just good.

I suppose if l am being entirely honest, it is the town I have heard of, and purely because it is a relatively large place, the assumption was that they would have a football team etc. etc.

 

[brakespear]

Sounds good to me

Continuing his inexorable transformation into Beckenbauer - I like it.

 

[BrickTamland]

He's even got a German to help him out with the lingo and penalty taking!
