Nick Woltemade

[Steve Charlton]

Watched a few clips and the first player that came to my mind with the dribbling ability was George Best

 

Not sure why none of the cartel went in for him,Is Sesko that much better than him or did they think he was nailed on for Bayern?

I think the football world assumed he was nailed on to go to Bayern and didn't bother.

Let's hope these two learn how to finish then. 

 

Thrilled with this signing but we really could do with a goal scoring midfielder to lighten the load. 

Aye, do think we still lack creativity from the middle. Would go back in for El-Khanouss if there’s still some money to spend.

Good morning world

I thought of a very bad dad joke.

 

We are changing the Worst Brat

For an all action 6'5" Bratwurst

 

 

I did warn you....

Surprised he hasn’t already gone somewhere if he has that release clause.

Hopefully Bruno can carry us on the creativity front. We do create plenty of changes TBF particularly from wide areas so Big Nick should be canny. From what I heard he doesn't have the heart of a pea either.

I think someone said that Stuttgart press like mad bastards under their current manager, so he should be good in that respect

Just checked the numbers on datamb. Amongst the top 7 leagues last season, we were 82nd percentile for pressing and Stuttgart were 83rd percentile, so very similar according to that

Brilliant strategy by us.  Draw the eye to the big name players and over pay for them while we quietly snaffle the best young prospect in Europe. The German big Dunc

He will probably change our style of play to look to be more direct like in the cup final, bringing the wingers in closer to him. 

 

Honestly having him as a focal point will be massive because it looks like he will be able to retain and lay it off to the rapid wingers/forwards. 

 

 

And that’s why Gordon and Elanga should work on their finishing.

Someone was asking for it earlier. This is the one we wanted after Ekitike in my opinion but we thought it was useless after Bayern were involved.

Worth pointing out that Stuttgart finished 9th and Frankfurt 3rd last season too, which will impact a few of these stats

[Terrymac1966]

Looks like Eddie's kind of guy front to back 👍

[andycap]

We don't kick off until 17:30 so is the cut off time not a bit longer than 12?

I think at some point during the negotiations with Bayern that Stuttgart were aware of our interest.

 

They were very bold with the fee they were demanding from Bayern, and I can't help but wonder if they knew that we were willing to give them exactly what they wanted, which was an amount similar to the Ekitike and Sesko numbers.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Barnes will absolutely love having a striker of this ilk, the give-and-go merchant.

[1964]

Hope reckons outside chance of playing Saturday, probably already been said .... cant be arsed checking

Potentially yes, weve not exactly been quiet on the bidding front. 

 

I would have been delighted with Ekitike and 1 other, im even more delighted with Woltemade + 1 other after the shit show weve had after Isak. 

[mouldy_uk]

Let’s get this sexy bugger signed and kitted up for tomorrow 

 

 

[TBG]

Poll please.

 

Would you rather the club concentrate on getting him registered in time, or, would you rather the club concentrate on getting the media side of things done meaning we miss the registration cut off time.
